Vince needs to hard tag Bont too. Heading for a big PB.

Just looking off the boil today. Young teams like ours are going to have fluctuating form, but it's frustrating that the so-called senior players seem to be the ones going missing every few weeks. Make no mistake, the Bulldogs are a well drilled team and they went in as favourites today for a very good reason. Would've been nice to finish inside the 8 for at least one round, though. Our percentage is being decimated.

At least a few of the Casey boys will get a look in for next week, should revitalise the side for the Lions game.

Redpath is dominating, didn't see that coming...

Watts is continuing his form from the past month.

Hogan's kicking is now officially a massive concern.

Petracca has had some really good touches.

That fifty against Garland was incredibly unlucky, technically correct but they have barely paid those all year.

Jetta is such a great player.

Compared to the doggies players, our boys just have no idea where to position themselves. This will be a drubbing.

They are much better drilled and run much harder than us our players are too lazy today, second to the footy and fumbling.

Jetta and BenKen great.

Options going into F50 poor. When it's crowded and we have the defensive structure set up  we have to hit the hot spot 20m out. Can't try to to pin point something short because they'll get out the back.

When it's open, we have to either get right over the back if it's on or go short.

We've got it all mixed up today.

Too fumbly. If we clean things up we still have a chance.

lol another blatant Dog throw

Geeez Watts, an absolute sitter

My god Watts is having a mare.

we have been way too handball again today, plus the Dogs just seem to have numbers everywhere around the ball, then a tonne of space for their players' inside 50. Our mids need to lift big time, as their ease of entry is really hurting our already underwhelming defence.

That Dogs goal after two really close opportunities must be a dagger in the heart.

Their throwing is getting very annoying.

Too much skill from the doggies

The Bulldogs skills are so bloody clean it really f u c k s me off. 

Memo to skills coach

Teach how to shepherd properly

It was nice being in the eight while it lasted.

Absolutely

All our talls are pathetic today

Garland is the last of those mentally scarred players. I have liked him al to over the years but it is time to say goodbye

So many of our own players are around the contest and we handball backwards or into a tackle. While the dogs only handball or throw it to advantage.

This is going to get messy. Big win for the dogs coming up.

I use to be a Garland fan. 

I use to be an idiot.

Pederson clearly held. No free kick.

Not out of it. But Petracca, no more up and under.

This was a game we weren't expected to win. Losing this isn't the end of the world. I just want us to show something. We did at the start of the first, end of the second, start of the third. That's not enough though.
