[jhong]

Doesn’t look like a big crowd at dogs game either

 

[Bluelegs]

After the sh*t we copped doesn't exactly look packed in the Tigers Hawks game

40,000 pretty ordinary tbh

Dogs picking up where we left off last night with playing the better footy, but not converting.

Kozzy with a shoutout from one of the commentators in the Dogs/Eagles game. One of them asked who would take a better mark by the end of their careers between Liam Ryan

and Jeremy Howell. And the answer was “Kozzy Pickett is coming”.

Terrific game btw

Sloppy win away against the Saints in a messy contest > honourable loss at home to the Eagles in a high standard game (I may be going too early)

BT just asked if the pickle JUICE comes in liquid form ... why is this guy employed?

I have a theory on this. I think the Ch 7 producers have told him there can't be more than 2s of silence during his calls. He is literally just brain farting anything that comes into his head as a stream of consciousness.

I choose to believe this because I can't believe the alternative: that he really is that ****ing stupid

You’re welcome Bulldogs

 

[Russian Demon]

Good composure by the dogs there

 

[jhong]

That Cripps miss from the goal square has come back to haunt them big time

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Bontempelli is on a different level to Petracca and Oliver. Second best midfielder in the game behind Dusty.

Darcy calling a dogs game is just yuk

Fixed it for you

They’re going to be very difficult to stop this year, the Dogs. And that’s coming from someone who hasn’t ever rated them before.

I’ve noticed your dismissive attitude to the dogs. TBH I suffered the same way because we’ve oddly matched up against them pretty well in the past few years - OMac got his only Brownlow vote against them in that weird game at Marvel in 2017. I suspect the match up may be more challenging this time

 

[TheCount]

Been mentioned a couple of times in this game that Freo's disposal going I50 last week was poor, and the same was said about the Saints last night, particularly on their board, I wonder if our pressure, and defensive set up will ever get some credit for it ...

 

[Jamurp]

Freo looking pretty good, or GWS looking pretty horrible, either or, last weeks win looking a little better now.

I think I’ve mostly been right, given they haven’t been a finals threat at all bar 2016 and the Greatest Umpiring Rort Ever Seen. But get the sense they’re a more complete entity now

Especially given we did the exact same thing to the Saints last year.

 

[ImissFrosty]

Wait guys, if we beat Freo who are smashing GWS who barely lost to the saints last week who we beat. Then aren't we guaranteed to beat GWS???

I'm not quite convinced they are. Their forward & backline leave a lot to be desired, but when their midfield is firing it's good enough to cover the cracks.

Yeah their tall stocks remain thin. Naughton is a huge talent but his body hasn't been accomodating and is prone to nothing games too often.
Their midfield is scary though. Lots of different types they can run through.
