I am not spinning it, I said it sounded unimpressive on the radio, just suggesting if people don't like what they are seeing, switch it off

I wasn't saying you were, I was saying the rest of us can't spin what we are watching any other way.

And to suggest we 'turn it off' is silly.  We love our club, we are just playing poorly.

Kicking against a strong breeze at a ground with no cover to block the wind and in 30 degree heat.

We've controlled general play but kicks inside 50 have been held up in the wind and end up dead balls.

This quarter will be a better gauge.

This is very reassuring to hear. But in a way adds to the frustration that if not for clanger turnovers scores would be basically level.

I love Tom McDonald but there are things that are non-negotiable if you're going to take it upon yourself to be Mr Dynamic Rebounding Defender.

If he cleans that up, he'll be a champion quality player. But in the meantime, he could really do with a Matthew Scarlett style partner in defence.

 

[P-man 13,366]

Oliver is the highlight so far. We've got that pick right.

I'd like to be critical of yet another T Mac turnover that resulted in a goal, but then I remember he's not in the side to kick the ball... <end sarcasm>

[Buzzy 992]

Yeah if Hogan is injured at all this year, we're going to have very little else to go to up forward.. especially the haphazard way we deliver it.

Hope Sam Weideman comes along quickly!

This game is extremely cluttered - will surely open up as the game (and heat) progresses.  I think we'll step it up then.

The Skills bag must still be on the bus. Hope someone retrieves it !!

[titan_uranus 24,969]

You'd want to hope that the wind was a factor and that we are able to make some sort of switch like we did part-way through last week's game.

The Dogs are fielding a VFL side.

[dazzledavey36 54,214]

Frost is out playing still.

[DemonOX 8,779]

Macca needs to handball more. 

[praha 11,228]

Sandy Roberts is senile.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Phew. Sam frost is back. Must have been nothing serious.

,,ahh the old tough love, strange I didn't recognize it, to watch and despair smacks more of latent masochism than anything else, what was everybody expecting?

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Good pressure there to force the turnover.  Took us a quarter to get going last week, hopefully this is the same.

Should've had 2 already in the 2nd

[praha 11,228]

How many kicks into the man is that now? Seems like 5-6.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

viney is a one man team at the moment.

 

[dazzledavey36 54,214]

Omg Garland just gave away a reckless free kick!

 

[praha 11,228]

Garland, you are still a dumb footballer.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

How are they getting free so easily?  They are hitting targets with ease.

[P-man 13,366]

Dogs just seem to be working harder. Enormously disappointing performance so far.

Because idiots like Garland are giving away stupid free kicks.

[praha 11,228]

We are being schooled by a bunch of teenagers

It's the Clarko way. Soak up any pressure, then slaughter them going the other way.

Their mosquito fleet is tearing us apart.
