Umps rule of the week, Hawks blocking off the mark.

Anyone else think Gunston looks sickly?

Boy the Hawks are very good at judging the 15 metre kick 

God I hate Hawthorn.

Free kick Hawthorn

 

But the Dogs have kicked themselves out of the contest.  No way they can get back from here.

And of course the MRP will ignore Breust's high contact in a marking contest.  Chose to bump, eyes off the ball.  Head high.   Nothing to answer.  Dirty mongrels.

And just like that the Dogs are back in it ... game on!

How good is some of the Dogs lesser lights. Smith and Dunkley playing very well.

Game on again!!

Go Dogs!

 

Whew! How good was that last 5 minutes?  Don't often find myself barracking like a lunatic in neutral games, but my heart is fully committed to a Bulldogs win.  

How arrogant are Whorethorn - and Hodge is the worst of the pr!cks

Pity that quarter didn't go another 5 minutes

If I hear Bruce growl, "the old Firm, eh", again, I'll 'release' from every orifice.

Wouldn't like to be down wind of you

What a hero Crameri is!

Kinda gives you a scary insight into how the Essendon players will be welcomed back by Channel 7 next year.

It has taken a while for the Doggies to settle, but when they do, boy they play entertaining footy. Their mass tackling, chains of handballs, and risk taking is breath-taking. And Bontempelli - his awareness round a pack and ability to find a way through with enough time to produce an elite kick; he is becoming the kind of footballer I would pay to go and see even if the Dees not playing. 

But is still goong to be very difficult to beat Hawthorn from here. 

Looks like Hawks are tiring late in quarters and doggies get a bit of a  run.

Should be a fascinating end!

Yep, chose to leave the ground and his shoulder made contact with Picken's head.

What does he do.............stays down on the ground feigning injury so as to either not give away a free kick, or was scared he may be remonstrated against. SOFT.

Of these two teams, win or lose  the Dogs are the future.

The Bulldogs drafting and development is by far the best in the AFL.

Totally agree. We have the airbrushing by the AFL and media of the doping scandal.  These guys should not be welcomed back as heroes. 

I don't think I've ever been to invested in the outcome of a match where I'm a neutral. Come on Doggies!!!

 

Unfortunately Stevic is worth another 3 goals to Hawthorn with his dodgy umpiring, just you wait and see.
