Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 7 - Dogs v Swans Thurs April 23rd 7:30pm AEST (Marvel)

[PerthBoy86]

Absolute drubbing. This would've been 100 had Swans kicked straight.

 

[Dazb86]

Wasn’t the midfield depth the dogs biggest strength?

Lina can’t make that much difference, surely

Years ago maybe. We lost Smith, Dunkley & Lipinski since then and a few guys are struggling with injury atm.

This is a very young and inexperienced line up.

Bevridge want to have any defensive structure? This is embarrassing 3 weeks in a row

 

[projectv]

What the hell has happened to the Bulldogs.

BT reckons the umpires have been terrific and that there haven't been many decisions to get upset about. Somebody should show him some gameday threads on this site.

 

[wilsonmatic]

Are you kidding Bt the umpiring has been deplorable.. Swans got a free ride in the 3rd.

There is a big Callum Wilkie sized hole in their defence.

 

[Coolangatta]

What the hell has happened to the Bulldogs.

Injuries and not having the depth to cover them.

AFL must have given him a ring at the break

Missing our spine, and no English dropping back.
Was always going to be hard.

 

[brutus76]

This Curnow kid is pretty good.
Is he another one of those Academy selections?

 

[voorhees]

bont still fighting

 

[010203]

Handy run coming up for Sydney with Geelong away the only tough match on paper over the next 5 weeks or so.

 

[voorhees]

well played sydney

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Bont & Richards are not 100% either. No english/darcy/lobb means no ruckman. losing hitouts 2-1

lots of reasons add up. I'd say our spine was our biggest strength too.

Your spine includes kids which are kinda week

 

[thumbs_up]

What the hell has happened to the Bulldogs.

Same Bulldogs as every year. Beat up on the teams below them and get smashed by the teams above them.

 

[Dazb86]

Injuries and not having the depth to cover them.

Combined with a brutal draw

 

[Xtreme]

UP THE SWANNIES

Thank you Sydney

Libba can’t make that much difference, surely

It's not the midfield they have nobody to kick it too you had Bont playing FF for 10 minutes that quarter.

 

[Former Decathlete]

Dogs lack of depth is really something.

Their bottom 5 are terrible.

I have no idea how we are going to fill the Tassie side when we can't really fill 18 sides every week already.

 

[LOLchie Schultz]

It wasnt a difference in the game, but the umpiring was atrocious tonight IMO.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Missing our spine, and no English dropping back.
Was always going to be hard.

You should be teaching your other rucks to drop back that's the issue, running around like headless chooks because they haven't played much AFL footy, Smith should have been given a go at some point in the last couple of years even if he wasn't ready. He may have been able to have more of an impact because of it.

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

Slotting Heeney and Gulden into that team would be handy

 

[Former Decathlete]

What the hell has happened to the Bulldogs.

Nothing much.
They finished 9th last season.
This is about where they are.
Downhill skiiers with no depth.
