[Tippaz]

have a feeling Bulldogs will be played back into form.
(watch for Cooney & Akermanis )

our ruck stocks look thin atm.

 

[bruce29]

great to see spikey back!

welshy to tag cooney?

 

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Hopefully we keep it respectable.

 

[Embers]

Hopefully you ruck with Ryder. Whose he gonna man up on in defence. Hahn or Murphy would kill him.

 

[danzan22]

Watson looks to have roled his ankle or somethig along those lines, i hope it;s not serious, just 2 more players and we can't field a team next week.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Looking quite good early, but let's see how long it lasts with the possibility of one down on the bench, and a bunch of kids who aren't ready.

 

[Bombs Away]

I said that Watson was injured last week, why was he picked, we are already short at 1/4 time.

Bad Knighter

 

[Spikey]

great to see spikey back!

I never left baby

 

[Embers]

Lloyd scores. 7 points up

Watson is on and firing atm. Shaken off his rolled ankle

 

[The Coach]

Hope we play you early next year (minus MM)

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Hope we play you early next year (minus MM)

The umpire was right there and didn't report him. Johnson is a diving twat, who needs to be Velvet Sledgehammered. The Velvet is optional, though. Just flatten the tosser.

Playing well, but not lethal enough when we have the ball.

Did I mention Johnson is a diving cheating ****wit?

 

[Rack Watts]

If McVeigh ever wants to be a captain he needs to settle down a bit.

Your exactly right and even channel 7 with a bulldogs coach in the commentary box would admit it.

Mal wont hit anyone as doesn't want to see us play short in his last game

 

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Turning point was Dyson dropping a sitter 30m out. Could have gone back and put us about 15 up. Instead, the Dogs rebound and quickly, goal then proceed to pile on 5 more before half time.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Fair point about Dyson, but it was only a matter of time before they ran over us.
