Taylor Adams is a dog. 4 knees dropped into the face of an opponent in 20 seconds. Up there with the Hall punch in my opinion. Weak dog acts.

[bulldogtragic]

Sorry, 5 knees into the face and head on replay.

While Westoff is lying on his back. If he doesn't get weeks for that then the AFL is piss weak.

[Remi Moses]

The AFL is piss weak
Thought allowing Broadbent loose in back 50 cost Collingwood dearly.
Watch for Bucks to cop some crap

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Adams is a thug on and off the ground.

[Greystache]

Adams is a thug on and off the ground.

Yet never seen him do anything brave. He's your typical opportunist thug.

Collinwood's loss makes a win this week even more important.

[azabob]

Until Adams is punished he will continue to think its ok behaviour. Now Westhoff after the match said his head was buried in the ground and didn't know what was going on!

At least we know Kane Cornes thinks. Sent a tweet saying something along the lines of dog act, enjoy your time off.

[westdog54]

Just watched it.

Adams is headed straight to the tribunal, and the AFL should appeal anything less than a four week suspension.

Last week against Carlton, Honeychurch was lying down in a similar position and a Carlton player (can't remember who) was doing a similar thing, ie pushing his knee into Honeychurch's neck. It must have hurt having a guy 90kg leaning on you with all his weight. Unfortunately the umpire was blind sided.

This sort of thing has to be stamped out.

[azabob]

No coincidence that Honeychurch is now out injured with a back injury.

[Ozza]

Another loss for Collingwood. Playing good footy and losing all 3 tough games has got to be deflating for them. Wouldn't be surprised if it led to them dropping a 'should win' game. We can leap frog them this week with a win.

Hard to not respect this Collingwood team though. They always have a crack and don't lie down.

Was the knee one or two actions? If it's one action I think he'll be fine.

Was more like half a dozen this time around.

Just heard the Collingwood Prez saying that it wasn't Taylor's fault. Said he kept getting dragged back into it.

[bulldogtragic]

Is that the same guy that insinuated the game's most high profile indigenous player was akin to an ape and didn't lose any of his jobs or status in the industry???...

[Remi Moses]

The same bloke who said Didak will be accused of the Kennedy assassination next.
Just before Didak it was revealed Didak was hanging out with Christopher Hudson

[Rocket Science]

Hard to fathom how this Blues outfit ran us to 11 points last week.

They're awful.

[comrade]

Hard to fathom how this Blues outfit ran us to 11 points last week.

They're awful.

Never seen a team miss so many simple handballs under no pressure. Richmond have only been slightly better.

Umpires have been horrid.

I thought they played a lot better last week.
That was one horrid game . Richmond will get nowhere near top 4( been a bit of noise about them getting there)

[azabob]

Essendon have had a tough week in the media, but either way if Melbourne lose today it is a bad loss.

Hird might even get another contract extension!

BT, I think I have jinxed Essendon...

[Remi Moses]

What week is it at Melbourne ?
Piss week !! I'm sure Roos will blame the previous regime and the mental scars .
Baguely and Hibbard destroyed the dees, and Daniher kicked straight .

Can't believe i tipped them, and with a fair amount of confidence too.

It was too Melbourne should have won that game Simple misses

[EasternWest]

It was about twelve. He's a dog.

[Hotdog60]

He's no dog! you insult us woofers. Call him a pussy. :)

[hujsh]

He's no dog! you insult us woofers. Call him a pussy. :)

Then that's insulting to women. How about piece of shit and/or garbage. Inanimate things can't be offended.

[westdog54]

Speaking of Dog acts, did anyone just see Selwood's effort. Looked like an attempt at a Kimura Lock and looks to have caused an injury.

In other news Ben Brown is winning me over as a footballer.

Didn't see it, watching The Ashes. Appreciating that it is Selwood, is there any chance that he might miss next week against us ?

[westdog54]

Will probably be a reprimand.

[AndrewP6]

Saw it, deserves weeks... but knowing the MRP, he'll probably get a reprimand.

[ratsmac]

Selwood deserves at least 2 weeks. He almost dislocated the norf players shoulder.

[1eyedog]

Selwood should get a week.
Kelly in trouble with an ankle.

[Remi Moses]

Pretty ordinary from Selwood . Chicken wing tackle, although not as bad as Judd's it was pretty average

[jeemak]

What a little shit. This prick has been looked after for so long it isn't funny, the way he gets up with his pathetic poor me facial expressions after every contest begging the umpires for a free kick sickens me.

This act is the reason why you shouldn't indulge people. Much like Judd's "chicken wing" tackle, over the top favouritism bears boorish and prickish behaviour.

[Rocket Science]

Love this bloke's game. Jeez he'd look good in red, white and blue.

[bornadog]

Can't wait to beat Geelong in Geelong

[jeemak]

I see Higgins had another productive outing tonight. He's really putting it together at the moment it seems. 18 touches, 8 marks, 3 goals and 4 tackles is a pretty good game.

His season average at 18 touches, 4 marks, 2 goals and 4 tackles is pretty good going. Great pick up for the Kangaroos, and if he keeps up the averages you could argue a case for him to be All Australian, particularly if the Norf finish top six.

[azabob]

Don't get the doctor started.

[Remi Moses]

Apparently it's okay according to the Scott brothers .
Fantastic ! If you don't want anyone playing the game as kids, then let's allow that.

What's his record against the big boys J?
Good pick up, but against the big boys I'm not sure

Judd got 4 weeks for the same thing, let's see what the gutless MRP do this time.

[ledge]

Wow I thought saints would smash GWS but the saints look like us in the first 3 qtrs yesterday at the moment.

[LostDoggy]

Adams is a thug on and off the ground.
Didn't he king hit a bloke in a nightclub in Sydney?

Geez freo have been winning but really not well
And today against a hard side have no answer at all.

[bornadog]

Mitchell sniping once more with his knee.

[Sedat]

Hawks by 81 points now. Has there ever been a team with so many onfield concerns sitting on top of the ladder at 12-2?

He said he was sorry.

[ratsmac]

Brisbane really took it up to Sydney today and Freo last week. Freo got smashed by the Hawks. Richmond were unconvincing against Carlton. It just goes to show that even the best sides go through some form slumps.

In relation to us being flat against in the last few weeks against teams that we were expected to beat, well we won. We managed to get the win whilst playing ordinary football at times. The best teams don't always have games play out as they wish and when they are up against it they work through it and find a way to win. This gives me comfort that we are still in a strong position in the eight even though we have looked sluggish.

[bornadog]

Gee I hate the way the media carry on about the Saints and how young they are yet, today they had 7 players with 150 games plus and an average games per player of 102. GWS average games was 62 and average age around 22, or 3 years younger than the Saints.

[jeemak]

The Saints seemingly have a good run in the media and have over the last ten years or so.

The media get a whiff of something and they all run with it .
They had 10 players over 100 games on the field .
I think they're in for more pain, and we're miles ahead of them.

[Remi Moses]

They've basically got their own radio station in SEN.
They're very groupie like with their support as well.

[azabob]

BAD, let them talk. Best to fly under the radar.

[Greystache]

Why? We've tried to fly under the radar for 50 years and all it's brought is failure. I'd like us to finally stand up, embrace the expectation, and announce we here to win it, not to sneak in from the side and hope to pinch it.

Yep shout it from the roof top. The more we are out there the more good players would want to come to us too. Who wants to be the wall flower in the corner? Not me.

Thanks for posting. It's interesting in that only Hawks and Eagles have as many players as us in this team, and I'd love to see a 5-4-3-2-1 ranking in each spot, as I get the feeling we'd have a few more players that are nearly thereabouts.

[Twodogs]

Murph is stiff to miss out.

Yeah well, we're used to excellence. The extraordinary quickly becomes de Rigueur for us bulldog supporters.
