chris scott with a nice jab in the presser the dogs are dangerous they are good at throwing the ball around and throwing it back over there heads

I thought exactly the same during the game. Umpire pinged Dogs a few times for throws, and those over the heads, WTF?

 

[offtherails9]

Seemed pretty worked up and guarded also. He reacted to the question about selwoods goal in an odd manner.

What about the old 'are you questioning my integrity?' lol

 

[Dogs till i die]

Bevo with a nice backhander in his presser ...."they rely on their best players heavily and we didn't do enough to stop them" ....for those that need translation services basically he's saying No Dangerwood No Geelong ....savage.

Didnt see that as a backhander just stating the bloody obvious.

Dogs players chomping down on pizzas after the match, wasn't expecting that.

Thank you for providing your interpretation and telling us it's gospel

So the Dogs again unable to beat someone not in the bottom 6. And again with more frees.

I'm shocked to be sitting here.

We have played West Coast, GWS, and Geelong on their home decks and lost by an average of 12 points each game.

We aren't on fire at the moment but not getting smashed either.

Season not lost yet

few teams and players do it bont and oliver the biggest culprits

But the Dogs best players did nothing. Bontempelli, Hunter, Maccrae, Picken.. none of these guys had huge games. Picken was the best of the lot, but all these guys were on fire last year.. so Bevo kind of back handed himself with that comment.

Dogs best players - Tom Boyd, Caleb Daniel and a guy who hasn't played for a year in Mitch Wallis.

 

[LordLucifer]

That is extremely unprofessional and rude by BT.

I agree, if I was the radio guy I would have kicked BT in the nuts.

Man you'd think he'd have to respect a side he can't beat.

How many times has he played Geelong now?

 

[Pugz89]

First to the ball will do that

Technically you're second to the ball if you tackle someone and get a htb free kick.

 

[Dogs till i die]

Oh poor you! Three interstate trips!

6 away games in 1st 9 is tough for anybody. Certainly would be tough for you guys.

 

[jdz101]

Probably Beveridge's biggest challenge as coach right now. The most uninspired footy the team has consistently played since he took over.

 

[JackFlash]

I reckon you'll get up...

What the hell do i know? All i can say is the majority of this game is played above the shoulders....

Yeh agree. Bevo never really tags and always backs his players to be better than the opposition but they arent at the moment.

 

[Rack Watts]

What's it like having a memory that only goes back 15 minutes? I guess you write yourself a lot of notes like in 'Memento'?

Sorry, what was my original post?

 

[Ok Boomer]

Scott Selwood is like, the perfect player to have come back in the side after the side being criticised for tackling. If nothing else, he will always do that well. If his foot is finally fixed, he will be more than handy.

 

[Randomizor]

What did BT do?

 

[Putin2Trump]

Thank you for providing your interpretation and telling us it's gospel

Always happy to help mate

Yeah the trip down to the MCG is massive compared to the trip to Etihad.

Don't know how you do it.

He pretty much said that before the game. Then failed to counter it.

 

[Putin2Trump]

He pretty much said that before the game. Then failed more of a sledge to Chris Scott' coaching ability.....basically he ain't much chop and basically relies on Dangerwood playing a blinder ......after watching that game tonight I agree with him based on that performance

Might be a blessing in disguise that these players are low on form at the moment. Good timing for a wake up call for a few. Better that this sort of thing happens now, rather than in August or September...

I did not say the first quote you included.

The game reflects badly on Beveridge more than Chris Scott. He stated before the game that Dangerwood was the main threat but failed to counter it. But it wasn't just Dangerwood. Duncan got a career high 18 tackles. Scott Selwood got a career high 17 tackles. Zac Smith got career high disposals, hitouts and tackles.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

1

130 tackles... you'd hope a few would get rewarded

And the Bulldogs had 104. You would hope their's would have been rewarded equally, which would've been about 5 HTB frees.
It was a really good game and I was looking forward to watching them both scrap it out for the rest of the last quarter, but then the umpires gifted them a few goals and took the wind out of it. Shame, could've been an epic finish.
