Just need the dogs to lose to either Port or Hawthorn and we beat GC and Freo and we're probably in (unless west coast beat gws and Adelaide) without needing a win tomorrow. Of course would much prefer to win tomorrow, but takes a little pressure off us.

Dont get how the kick to the face is not a definite suspension? They want to protect players heads and yet you are allowed to jump up and kick people in the face? The fact that he wasn't looking doesn't hold water either. He knew damn well that the player was coming from that direction which is why he put his foot there in the first place. Negligent high contact with serious impact. Gone.

Serious impact? Having a laugh.

He put his foot up to protect himself. Its done very often in fact our very own Daniher has done it on occasion.

Greene was protecting his space, which you are allowed to do when contesting the ball, which actually resulted in Dahlhaus initiating the contact.

I've said this before.

Bulldogs just haven't been good enough since the bye. They beat us because our midfield was defensively terrible. One of our worst defensive efforts of the year, which allowed them clean entries inside 50s.

Expectedly, when their mids are pressured, their inside 50 entries are wide and therefore, exposes them for inaccuracy.
