We probably will be when it happens to us next week too.

It's amazing how many throws the dogs get away with. It's honestly baffling that not one umpire sees it.

You know it’ll happen. Dogs almost get as much of an armchair ride as Carlscum.

So glad we got rid of Ross Lyon.

I asked ChatGPT for a withering assessment of Ross Lyon's coaching and I got this:

"It's becoming increasingly evident that Lyon's tactics are antiquated relics of a bygone era, incapable of adapting to the dynamic demands of modern AFL. While his defensive strategies may have once been formidable, they now resemble a leaky sieve, unable to contain the relentless onslaught of opposing offenses."

If only I had of asked before I put my tips in.

OR a Chris Connolly effort at the G against Melbourne. Almost 10 in front and blew it.

49 points up at half time, it would take a Mark Harvey level effort to lose from here.

10 goal thrashing. Yikes, I thought it might be tighter between them. Didn't see that coming. Can Saints be kind enough to drop into bottom 6 contention?! C'mon Ross, you owe us one!

but other than Henry, who are their major outs? King and?

 

[wakojako]

Were Saints terrible tonight or were they Dogs that good?

Saints were witches hats.

I don't know. I don't really care, I hope they sink as far down with Collingwood as possible. We might end up with Picks 3/4 and 24/25 (pre-draft). I do think Collingwood might finish lower bracket of middle 6, but be real handy if they plummeted into bottom 4. Saints just look like they're not interested in the contest (surprisingly for Ross). No one really looked like they wanted to get dirty and they left massive holes all over the ground. Possible 5 day break blues, but they just looked reactive and wimpish for long stretches.

Good for us, no doubt

Best part of the game (other than the deathride) was watching Jones shake his head on the bench after getting subbed.

Played the best 7 touch game of all time and got dragged.

 

[DragoDelph]

Glad dogs got that out of their system this week.

Naughton looked good without JUH blocking his space too.

That was the sort of game they brought to us last year, before flatlining afterwards.

I had the saints winning that one with Libba out....i suck at tipping haha

 

[james haish]

In fairness to the Saints, they had a 5 day break, after playing the best side in the comp.

I don't do footy tippings, but in my head I went with the Bullies purely for the Saints death-ride. Worked out alright

that's a logical reason for them looking so flat
