[DOG GOD]

At the MCG with Bolton and Martin still worries me.
This is the game where it will say if the playing group wants Bevo there (which I believe they don’t).
This is also the game Balta and Lafau could kick 4 each….so…

Lafau is the exact type of player that has a breakout game against us, and they have some handy ins.

I can't call this one but Treloar is likely to be our best.

[kruder]

Yeah Bolton always worries me considering we play little attention to opposition best players. I'm glad Lynch isn't in he always kills us!

Is anyone brave enough to go to this one? I'm going, fingers crossed our forwards can create separation at the open expanses of the G.

Cleary - sub

Is he sub just in case JF is not playing well?

Bramble needs a big game, hanging on by a thread.

[GVGjr]

Cleary - sub

Is he sub just in case JF is not playing well?

Could be, it had to be one of the many defenders we are playing tonight.
Freijah might play wing anyway. We are really sticking with Gallagher.

[GVGjr]

Crowds a bit light on at the moment.

[bornadog]

Crowds a bit light on at the moment.
Lucky to get 30k at this rate

[G-Mo77]

Crowds a bit light on at the moment.

Neither team travelling very well so it's no surprise a Saturday night at home on the coach would seem like the better option.

[Mofra]

Cleary sub. Bloody tough on the kid. I guess he and Freijah have been playing in a similar way so the tactical sub becomes an easier choice late in the game.

Internally.

[G-Mo77]

Coach will be under pressure again if we lose

Oof. Stupid auto correct and stupid unco fingers. I'm sitting on the couch not the coach. :D

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Marras skills are horrible..

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Garcia has started well.

Really want to see him with good mid minutes though.

[EasternWest]

Wasting early dominance. I hope we don't come to regret that.

Just typing that has given me de ja vu

[jeemak]

I love how West is our down the line option when we have Naughton, Marra and Darcy on the ground.

[macca]

that is terrible kick MacRae, show some conviction and just thump it for a goal!

[macca]

28 to 8 fwd 50s in 1st Quarter with 2mins to go.

[G-Mo77]

How bad is this game?

[bornadog]

We wasted our opportunities

[Happy Days]

Is it biologically impossible for us to kick the 4th goal if we kick the first 3?

[whythelongface]

How bad is this game?

In what way. I am quite enjoying it except for our poor goal kicking

[angelopetraglia]

23 entries for 3 goals. It should be game over.

Surely Tigers can?t be that bad for another quarter.

[azabob]

Marra is doing a lot of cracking the shits at the midfielders for the delivery inside 50.

How about you STFU and worry about converting the opportunities you are getting.

His attitude looks so bad.

[Happy Days]

Really wish West took that mark. That would’ve been sick.

[bornadog]

Entire game played in our half, fwd line crowded the whole quarter

[Happy Days]

Marra is doing a lot of cracking the shits at the midfielders for the delivery inside 50.

How about you STFU and worry about converting the opportunities you are getting.

His attitude looks so bad.

Playing well though. Also he kinda has a point?

[whythelongface]

Gags has had a good 1st qtr

[chef]

Playing well though. Also he kinda has a point?

Agree, our delivery at the key forwards is shit house.

[merantau]

Looks like we've come to play but we should be 6.3 instead of the reverse.

Jamarra needs to pull his head in and focus on getting the ball and kicking goals.

[ledge]

Well another great start , we were wasteful too, at least we didn’t let them take the lead by qtr time.

[macca]

Marra is doing a lot of cracking the shits at the midfielders for the delivery inside 50.

How about you STFU and worry about converting the opportunities you are getting.

His attitude looks so bad.

Yeah, he had to conver that shot 45 degrees angle, approx 40 m out. Really poor kick.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

What the hell was Frejah doing there?

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Jeez, Our last two debutants just look way off the pace on viewing thus far.

[azabob]

Playing well though. Also he kinda has a point?

Two points by my count.

[ledge]

Here it comes again.

[angelopetraglia]

Freijah has looked all at sea in the air so far.

[ledge]

Jeez, Our last two debutants just look way off the pace on viewing thus far.

Wow that’s a whack, 1/4 and you saying that ? I thought he did well.

[macca]

That was a ripper mark by Darcy, converts for goal

[azabob]

Unless Bramble is running he is not much chop.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

I?m calling it. Darcy is a gem

[angelopetraglia]

If Marra is worth $1m a season, how much is Darcy worth?

[G-Mo77]

In what way. I am quite enjoying it except for our poor goal kicking
Standards of a country footy game. Anyway I'm out for tonight, should be an easy one.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Kimmo has paid off in spades with Naughton already

Great choice honestly

[Testekill]

We should probably be at least 60 points up with how horrible the Tigers have been

[The Bulldogs Bite]

If Marra is worth $1m a season, how much is Darcy worth?

He's already twice the player!

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Bramble and Gallagher should be in the 2s.

Especially Bramble.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

So many dumb mistakes....

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

I'm really getting sick of Bramble's hot mess out of nowhere mistakes.

[Sedat]

Bramble lol

[jazzadogs]

Jeez, Our last two debutants just look way off the pace on viewing thus far.

Freijah has shown more composure than Bramble.

[ledge]

That was as bad as you can get.

[ReLoad]

Bramble and Gallagher should be in the 2s.

Especially Bramble.

This x10000000

[whythelongface]

Bramble needs a spell

[angelopetraglia]

How does Bramble get a game? Have we not seen enough?

[bulldogsthru&thru]

It's time to get Daniel back. Bramble and Gallagher are getting worse by the week.

[kruder]

Cleary on Bramble off please

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Bramble WOW no wonder you were traded. Could we do worse the. Play Arty

[Critter]

Bramble has been a disaster so far tonight.

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Thank god for west well done great endeavour

[angelopetraglia]

Right in front of me. Marra just not interested in that contest.

Great work by West.

[jazzadogs]

Great pressure Westy.

Keath has been solid.

[Sedat]

Get around him

[whythelongface]

Rather see Cleary in than Bramble

[whythelongface]

Good work James Harmes

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

I really like West's intensity at every contest. Even when he's not having a big statistical output, he's still finding where's to influence or bring pressure.

Gallagher needs a spell in the two's

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Gags on cue.

Back to VFL and show me what you've learned son.

[whythelongface]

Harmes has had a good game

[kruder]

Harmes is moving really well tonight, well ahead of our VFL wingers.

[angelopetraglia]

What happened to VDM?

[EasternWest]

Harmes with two goals, Happy Days will be ecstatic.

[whythelongface]

Gags on cue.

Back to VFL and show me what you've learned son.

Gags has been ok bar a couple of kicks. No need for him to go back to VFL

[The Bulldogs Bite]

@Happy Days.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Right in front of me. Marra just not interested in that contest.

Great work by West.

Yep someone needs to pull him aside. Some of his interactions, body language, half efforts at times in the past fortnight are not good visually.

[EasternWest]

What happened to VDM?

His mouth was writing cheques his body couldn't cash.

Probably hamstring I reckon.

[Happy Days]

Always rated Harmes

[angelopetraglia]

Great contested possession in the centre there from Tim. More of that please.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

We're lowering the eyes well this week.

[kruder]

Ed is looking like a mid to me, I was keen to see him go back.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Always rated Harmes

And your honesty in these matter is beyond reproach.

[Testekill]

Gags has been ok bar a couple of kicks. No need for him to go back to VFL


He's probably due a rest in the VFL in my opinion.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Man Enlgish is woeful at set shots. Kills us.

[Happy Days]

Anyone wanna buy some Bramble stock by the way

[whythelongface]

Gee Treliar is good to watch. So much time

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Oh man Richmond really are in the terlet right now aren't they.
As shit as we are, they're out-shitting us.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

We make everything look so hard.

[EasternWest]

Oh man Richmond really are in the terlet right now aren't they.
As shit as we are, they're out-shitting us.

Yeah it's hard to make anything of this game. They absolutely stink.

[Sedat]

A new hero emerges at the kennel

[angelopetraglia]

Adam Treloar pressure abs tackle on Rioli was superb there. Having a great game.

[Happy Days]

Harmsey! Yeah!

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Harmes is the best forward in the league.

Fight me

[GVGjr]

Harmes with 3.

[jazzadogs]

Harmes finally playing a good game against VFL opposition still doesn't make the 3 year deal worthwhile. Good on him though.

[Happy Days]

In his farewell game too

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Seriously this side is so painful. I?m gonna have a heart attack supporting them

But I love it

[The Bulldogs Bite]

How bad are Richmond?

Sheesh.

[Grantysghost]

In his farewell game too
Unhappy days

[Testekill]

Harmes must be happy to beat up on a shit team this week

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Yeah it's hard to make anything of this game. They absolutely stink.

They are terrible but I at least like the way we're going about it.

[Grantysghost]

How bad are Richmond?

Sheesh.very

[Testekill]

What happened to VDM?

Nankervis landed knee first on his ankle

[Grantysghost]

I think we should relocate to the G.

[whythelongface]

How bad are Richmond?

Sheesh.

They are bloody good. Surely.

[bornadog]

Harmsey! Yeah!
He heard you wanted to meet at nets so he has pulled his finger out

[bornadog]

6 goals 7, too many easy misses, sack Johnno

[ledge]

Very happy with Freijah , Naughton is everywhere, Harmes a good move up forward and Garcia has been exceptional with his speed and in and under. Richards doing well and I think Cleary after the first fumble has settled. Treloar giving us his usual honest hard game.

[whythelongface]

Great to have Keath back. Moving ok. Would like to see him next week against the Giants

[EasternWest]

They are terrible but I at least like the way we're going about it.

Probably right, you can only beat the side that fronts up and at least we're beating them comfortably.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Anyone wanna buy some Bramble stock by the way

Its really frustrating because there are many aspects to Bramble that are what we need. Some of his repeat efforts are Biggs Grand Final level.
But his errors are real killers, they're often 12 point differentials. He often butchers a play offensively, unforced, that should've resulted in a shot on goal, and in turn his turnover invariably is converted by the opposition.

[JanLorMill]

Richmond are horrible, how did they beat the swans?

[ledge]

Great to have Keath back. Moving ok. Would like to see him next week against the Giants

It’s Keaths experience and strength we need . If we can fit Gardner back in we could improve more I believe.
I also think O’Donnell is looking better.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Adam Treloar pressure abs tackle on Rioli was superb there. Having a great game.

He's having a very solid season. Cannot question his commitment at all.

[jeemak]

West isn't good enough to be using his opposite for forty metre kicks when under pressure. He needs to keep it simple.

[bornadog]

It’s Keaths experience and strength we need . If we can fit Gardner back in we could improve more I believe.
I also think O’Donnell is looking better.let’s not get carried away

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Jones doesn't get enough credit. I know he gets some recognition in the media, but this guy is AA. He's absolutely elite.

Keath has looked good albeit we've not exactly been tested, but he should play for a few weeks.

[bornadog]

West isn't good enough to be using his opposite for forty metre kicks when under pressure. He needs to keep it simple.
He is applying a lot of pressure up fwd

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

West isn't good enough to be using his opposite for forty metre kicks when under pressure. He needs to keep it simple.

That's just the kind of nick pickety horseshit I'd expect from you Jeemak West has been outstanding when he's been involved..
bring back Jeenak I say... that guy knew where things were at.

[ledge]

let’s not get carried away

We lack a decent CHB and our only option is Keath atm , I don’t believe Buss is up to it yet.

[Bullies]

Its really frustrating because there are many aspects to Bramble that are what we need. Some of his repeat efforts are Biggs Grand Final level.
But his errors are real killers, they're often 12 point differentials. He often butchers a play offensively, unforced, that should've resulted in a shot on goal, and in turn his turnover invariably is converted by the opposition. I have said a number of times over the last couple of weeks that Bramble is dreadful under pressure. He will butcher the ball when pressed.

[bornadog]

Jones doesn't get enough credit. I know he gets some recognition in the media, but this guy is AA. He's absolutely elite.

Keath has looked good albeit we've not exactly been tested, but he should play for a few weeks.
Jones is really is good in his role.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

If Lobb plays well do we drop Marra?

Know we won't but honestly Marra is lucky to be playing. Poor efforts, poor body language, poor skills.

[bornadog]

I have said a number of times over the last couple of weeks that Bramble is dreadful under pressure. He will butcher the ball when pressed.
That error he made was just purely lacking in skills

[jeemak]

That's just the kind of nick pickety horseshit I'd expect from you Jeemak West has been outstanding when he's been involved..
bring back Jeenak I say... that guy knew where things were at.

These are the type of things that are stopping him from being a consistently good footballer. Jeenak would agree.

[Bullies]

If Lobb plays well do we drop Marra?

Know we won't but honestly Marra is lucky to be playing. Poor efforts, poor body language, poor skills. He has no second effort either. Doesn't mind letting his team mates know about it either.

[bornadog]

We lack a decent CHB and our only option is Keath atm , I don’t believe Buss is up to it yet.
Who do you drop for Gardner

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

These are the type of things that are stopping him from being a consistently good footballer. Jeenak would agree.

He's definitely not immune from feedback, but I think on the list of non-negotiables the coaches would've asked him to bring tonight, I think he's ticked quite a few of them.

[merantau]

This is a game we should win by 12 goals on what I've seen so far. But we have been very wasteful and Richmond have been just AWFUL.

Can we please put them to the sword? I will be devastated if we end up winning by 10 puts after a second half arm wrestle. This is an opportunity to build percentage if ever there was one.

Treloar has been really good. Macrae too. English has done well against Nankervis who has beaten him soundly in the past.

I am really happy to see James Harmes kicking a few. I like his aggression and believe he will repay our faith in him.

[whythelongface]

I know others haven’t been too impressed with Gags but really liking his attack on the ball. He makes some poor decisions but he really attacks the ball. I do like him in the centre.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

What the hell is wrong with Jamarra?

[bulldogsthru&thru]

What the hell is wrong with Jamarra?

Something......looks disinterested

[jeemak]

He's definitely not immune from feedback, but I think on the list of non-negotiables the coaches would've asked him to bring tonight, I think he's ticked quite a few of them.

It's just a comment on one kick mate. I'm happy with his game outside of that.

[Critter]

Jamarra needs a mentor. Badly.

On a more positive note, how good is Ed? A seriously good footballer

[EasternWest]

Treloar that's insane

[jeemak]

Fair goal Adz.

[GVGjr]

How good was Treloar goal?

[azabob]

Sam Darcy’s ability to handball in traffic is wonderful to watch.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

I know mate. It's the gameday thread I'm just poking fun.

[Happy Days]

Fair goal Adz.

Nah he actually sucks you just watched it wrong

[Happy Days]

Sam Darcy’s ability to handball in traffic is wonderful too watch.

Him being able to catch because he’s taller than everyone else is cool and all, but it’s going underrated how smooth he is.

[angelopetraglia]

Treloar. Wowee. Having a great game and what a goal.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Smothers 9 to 1 our way tonight. Some strong intent.

[Happy Days]

Not at home either

[Testekill]

Balta very cool sooking about a free kick while a teammate lies motionless on the ground 5 metres away

Absolutely shocking look from him

[Grantysghost]

English got pushed into him i think. He was coming back with flight.

[Grantysghost]

Freijah and Cleary have looked composed under pressure

[Grantysghost]

Why doest West banana every kick?!

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

West deserves a kick for that.

[azabob]

West deserves a kick for that.

Stop trying to suck up to jeenmak

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

We still want Naughton distributing the ball out the backline? or taking screamers and kicking 13.3 from set shots up forward like he has so far!

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Stop trying to suck up to jeenmak

Jeenmak??? Yikes!! how many are there??

[jazzadogs]

2 pushes against us where we haven't used our hands. Have they changed the rule?

I thought the Harmes one was there, but West was just body work.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Really horrid, sloppy play from us.. we should be raining goals on them right now.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

I reckon my 3 y.o daughter would break away from a Bramble tackle.

[macca]

We are making richmond look competitive, have not been able to kick a goal for last 10 mins, and Richmond kicks a goal.

That delivery into fwd line where Vlaustin spoils sums up our woeful forward delivery.

[jazzadogs]

Bloody hell JJ. an easy two on one and he stuffs it

Was it part of the plan to move him forward? Or forced by the VDM for Cleary sub?

He's been more involved since he moved forward but it's not his role.

[whythelongface]

We are making richmond look competitive, have not been able to kick a goal for last 10 mins, and Richmond kicks a goal.

That delivery into fwd line where Vlaustin spoils sums up our woeful forward delivery.

The stop in play didn’t help. Sort of stopped our momentum

[bornadog]

Need to really go on with it

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Marra needs to find a bit of form in this last QTR.

He's been horrific and on form should be dropped.

[DOG GOD]

Some of our disposal into fwd 50 can be diabolical at times.

[kruder]

Our forwards were so high up the ground in that quarter surely we can keep a better structure against this quality of opposition.

Happy for the win but yeah just not convinced.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Marra needs to find a bit of form in this last QTR.

He's been horrific and on form should be dropped.

He should be dropped no matter what. He's been downright pathetic.

He's been horrific and on form should be dropped.
Nota good night for him that is for sure

Marra needs to find a bit of form in this last QTR.

He's been horrific and on form should be dropped. Seems to happen to our players when we sign them

Nota good night for him that is for sure

He is still trying, just having one of those nights where everything he does goes wrong.

Inside 50s,
31 vs 60 in bulldogs favour

Wow that was a beautiful passage of play.

[Happy Days]

Treloar, he’s good.

He is still trying, just having one of those nights where everything he does goes wrong.

I would strongly debate Marra is going full tilt.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Treloar, he?s good.

HD, our man on special comments

[JanLorMill]

That naughton goal was woeful by Richmond. I?ll still take 3 premierships.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Freijah has settled now.

[Happy Days]

We all know that we lose the next week after winning by 50, but what about where we win by 50 twice in the one game.

[Grantysghost]

Well done Marra!

Had a nearly night.

[EasternWest]

Treloar, he’s good.

Just a shame he's never really "bought in".

Well done Marra!

Had a nearly night.

He doesn't look fit to me

Maybe thinking about bikies.

And let the shitposting begin.

And let the shitposting begin.

Nah I've edited it. That was even too shit for me.

What do you mean? He has always given his all for us

[Grantysghost]

Nah I've edited it. That was even too shit for me.
Booo

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Keath has looked okay tonight, hasn't really had to try and bite off more than he can chew offensively and has just been able to hold his position.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Booo

Self censoring, he's cancelling himself, that's how woke EW is :p

[Happy Days]

So do you guys say Harmy or Harma? I hear in Victoria it’s Harma but elsewhere it’s Harmy

[Happy Days]

Nah I've edited it. That was even too shit for me.

[Grantysghost]

So do you guys say Harmy or Harma? I hear in Victoria it’s Harma but elsewhere it’s Harmy
Haaa... You idiot xD

[angelopetraglia]

Well I think they still want to play for Bevo. Still play by incredibly hard. Have not taken the foot off the gas.

[azabob]

So everyone agrees Richards has to play midfield for the remainder of the season yeah?

[EasternWest]

What do you mean? He has always given his all for us

Of course he has, I'm just wheeling out the tired old trope that Treloar haters like to use if he doesn't have a good game.


Coward

Guilty as charged.

[EasternWest]

So everyone agrees Richards has to play midfield for the remainder of the season yeah?

Depends. If he kicks like Ed Richards then I'd like to see a mix. If he kicks like Christian Howard them no, the backline is the place.

Also, I don't want to shit on our donuts but Richmond are atrocious and should by no means be the metric by which me make clear assessment on our players.

I mentioned the same last week and it went through too the keeper :) He's tried a bit harder tonight but it's hardly a good effort.

[azabob]

Depends. If he kicks like Ed Richards then I'd like to see a mix. If he kicks like Christian Howard them no, the backline is the place.

Also, I don't want to shit on our donuts but Richmond are atrocious and should by no means be the metric by which me make clear assessment on our players.

Look, all I know is when Richards plays midfield we win by 12 goals plus…

This is true, our donuts tonight do have some nasty speckles on them..but we didnt' put them on there. It's not our fault Richmond rolled in it..

Of course. I made a similar comment myself earlier - I'm just wary of crowing too much when they're just so bad.

In all seriousness what do we have to lose by playing him in the midfield for the next 15 weeks?

Freijah been excellent along with Cleary. Yes it is against the tigers but I think it gives both confidence, not sure you could drop either.

Yep after a shaky start, he found the speed of the game.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

I've been saying it for 15 years. Dustin Martin is cooked.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Still think Gags makes too many mistakes.

[EasternWest]

Ahh the old Vitus Geralitis with a twist. Nice.

[Critter]

Solid without being flashy: Freijah, Cleary & Keath
Wasteful: Gallagher. Needs some solid coaching
Useful: Sonny Garcia
Best? Lots and lots but Darcy is certainly something special

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Reckon the Tiges are cursed by injury.

They can't take a trick.

I was just thinking I would hate it to be us.
It’s been horrific for them tonight

[ledge]

Early call .. no Gale no Richmond

You’re hard on a kid playing his first game.

[G-Mo77]

I just got home and turned it on. Richmond kicked the last 2 goals. Sorry for jinxing that 100 point win.

[Mofra]

You’re hard on a kid playing his first game.
He looked a bit nervous early, which you'd expect from a kid debuting on the G on Saturday night.

He's really got better every quarter. High DE as well. Looks really promising. With time he'll run & gun a bit more and get comfortable at the level

[macca]

Treloar with 40 disposals!

[Grantysghost]

Treloar with 40 disposals!
Amazing effort.

[Mofra]

Treloar with 40 disposals!
Weirdly, I was more impressed with his lateral movement and his ability to get the ball moving forward than 'just' his disposal count, Very influential

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Can?t believe that this is the side that walked out last week. We can turn it on but somethings wrong between the ears of this group

[Bullies]

Yep after a shaky start, he found the speed of the game. Wouldn't it be nice to fast track both Freijah and Cleary 50 games. I think they will both make it.

[JanLorMill]

I know its only Richmond but Cleary is better defensively than Khamis

[ReLoad]

Treloar with 40 disposals!

Leading our B+F I?d suggest.

[Bullies]

I know its only Richmond but Cleary is better defensively than Khamis He looks very composed and would be good to see him get a good run at it. Interesting to see how he goes against the better teams.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Treloar has had a very good season. His work defensively has actually been much improved and has had a number of run down tackles.

Would like to see Cleary get a good run at it. Had some nice moments.

[angelopetraglia]

Bont still with a monster game.

32 touches
19 contested!!!!
10 clearances!!
2 goals

[chef]

Fun game to go too. Gee the Richmond supporters are feral.

[Hotdog60]

Ok I've bagged Treloar and I'm still not a big fan but he was quite exceptional tonight if keeps this going he might win me over.
