So are you saying that COVID has more chance of beating Freo than the Kangaroos?

Well your word bingo is going well a couple of chucks missed already

 

[Gavstar]

Are GWS not standing on the mark straight away but delaying and then charging to spot pointing? It means doggies can’t play on against stationery man.. interesting tactic

 

[Gethelred]

GWS playing precisely the same game GC tried against us; keeping the ball in for repeat stoppages, forcing the dogs to play slow footy round the boundary.

 

[BlueLocke]

They might get the win tonight, but not convinced the Dog's high-possession game plan will hold up in September - especially against sides that bring a lot of speed on the rebound.

Dogs are a bit weird. They're a team you can see getting on a roll and winning 8 games in a row, but they're also a team you can see dropping 4 in a row or losing one against the bottom side.

Hard to get a bead on. When they're on, that midfield looks impossible to beat, yet a team like us has had its day against them multiple times.

Why are the bulldogs player skills always so much better than most teams ?

...

This is an extremely recent thing, both with regards to Josh Bruce and to the dogs supposed superior skills.

 

[Gethelred]

At some point, the ump's going to call an incorrect disposal and the players will all collectively die of shock.

, not Daniels, every single time he gets the ball, he says the wrong name.

Not today.

 

[Gethelred]

It's high contact or holding the man if he's tackled a bloke in a marking contest, ump.

I've no doubt he got him high - you're the boss, mate - but it can't be a high tackle free if it's in a marking contest and neither player has the ball.

 

[Gethelred]

What was the ceremony they're talking about? Had to do battle with my Chromecast and missed the start.

Greene is my favourite non Carlton player by the length of the Murray River, just an out and out gun.

In a Victorian team he’d be up there with Dusty in the best in the comp discussion, and hasnt played his best position for years

Not sure why the Bulldog's think it's a good idea to fire up one the best players in the league, one who has a history of responding to pressure with goals and lots of them...

 

[Gethelred]

Player runs to mark, stops 3m corridor side and resolutely refuses to move to where the mark was taken.

Ump has two choices here; he can move the player to the mark, ensuring that the spirit of the rule is followed, but this slows the game down, makes them look officious, and allows the defense to get downfield removing the advantage. He can yell 'stand', but then the new rule is undermined as the intent is to allow that 45 degree kick into the corridor.

Rule is stupid because it's impossible to adjudicate correctly, and at any time a fifty is conceded from it it will be unfair.
