That's so typical of Dusty, isn't it? The bloke who, in 2017, won a Brownlow by record margins whilst reducing his possession stats from 2016 (when we were famously s**t). I know some of our supporters have been obnoxious towards the Cats recently, but this is a good example of how Cats posters have been equally obnoxious.
If only we weren't so hell bent on 'Richmond don't tag', we could have negated the Bont at clearances..Richmonds Baker went right out of the game after half time. Did the Dogs deliberately lock him down?

That was Ben Cousin's problem.Corkie
Did Cotch go to Bont at stages?If only we weren't so hell bent on 'Richmond don't tag', we could have negated the Bont at clearances..
Sure the guy has won 3 flags, but still don't like Dimma dismissing out of hand a very valuable tactic.
Is that true?Corkie
Gee I've had one of those before, not fun.Got a bad cookie before half time
Those frees didn't help, but ultimately the Bulldogs kept the ball in their forward half exclusively in the last qtr (except for the last 5 mins). They would have scored a goal one way or the other. They played better in general in the last.Just one goal in it so those couple of dodgy free kicks to the Dogs inside 50 in the last quarter cost Richmond but so did their bad kicking for goal.
You need to build up a big enough lead against the Dogs so the umpiring doesn't matter like we did a couple of rounds ago but unfortunately for Richmond they aren't as good as us and they paid the price today.
Good post mate.Those frees didn't help, but ultimately the Bulldogs kept the ball in their forward half exclusively in the last qtr (except for the last 5 mins). They would have scored a goal one way or the other. They played better in general in the last.
Ultimately Richmond had only one good qtr for the whole game. Bulldogs played better in the first and last qtr (third qtr neither team were that good).
Have to agree. Some dodgy umpiring that led directly to Dogs goals, but we couldn't hit a target to save ourselves, we got destroyed out of the stoppages all game, we could not get the ball forward or inside 50, our disposal by foot was disgusting (again) and we played 15 minutes of good footy out of 120.Those frees didn't help, but ultimately the Bulldogs kept the ball in their forward half exclusively in the last qtr (except for the last 5 mins).

It was really a 15 minute burst in the 2nd quarter when Richmond piled on 7 unanswered goals.Those frees didn't help, but ultimately the Bulldogs kept the ball in their forward half exclusively in the last qtr (except for the last 5 mins).

ryan had a little purple patch in the ruck, then Nank had his best spell in the ruckIt was really a 15 minute burst in the 2nd quarter when Richmond piled on 7 unanswered goals.
In the remaining 85% of the match, the Bulldogs outscored the Tigers 12.16 (88) to 5.11 (41)

Tim English is going to be one of the best ruckman in the comp, if he isn't nearly there alreadyryan had a little purple patch in the ruck, then Nank had his best spell in the ruck
we need a ruck.

Cotchin should have been our pick 1! Forced to donate it to your lot.Walsh - pick 1
Kennedy - pick 29
Cripps - pick 13
Hewett - free
Cerra - pick 8
Martin - pick 3
Cotchin - Pick 2
Taranto - Pick 12 & 19
Hopper - Future 1st and a few late picks
Prestia - Pick 6 and swap of second rounders
Shai Bolton - Pick 29?
I’m not saying Taranto or Hopper are bad pickups, I’m just stating the obvious fact that you hugely overpaid for two good to great players. Neither are stars.
There was also that Hannan legging in the goalsquare.Have to agree. Some dodgy umpiring that led directly to Dogs goals, but we couldn't hit a target to save ourselves, we got destroyed out of the stoppages all game, we could not get the ball forward or inside 50, our disposal by foot was disgusting (again) and we played 15 minutes of good footy out of 120.
Not good enough, poor coaching, poor execution.
The Dogs were better, but I don't think they were necessarily good either. To lose by 5 points is frustrating, it's good to be competitive in every game, but I'm getting real sick of these competitive losses where if we fixed a few things they'd be wins.
Dogs supporter who umpires, AFL call up in 3...2...There was also that Hannan legging in the goalsquare.
Crap umpiring is expected in crap conditions. As a senior umpire myself, it isn't an easy job
