Howstrong is the wind out there?

dead still in elwood

Never went to the Whitten Oval in the old days?

It's a vortex.

Good lad Nibbler.

really great tackle by anb on stringer

Clearly the dogs have been practicing ducking. Half their players automatically duck when they get the ball!

Only thing we aren't doing at the minute is making it count on the scoreboard.  Doing pretty well around the ground so far, lots of good pressure.

I don't know all the details, but it's something to do with monitoring concussion... I believe the women's team are doing the same thing.

Maybe an accelerometer?

Tackling has been terrific from the start. 

anb and smith with some ripper tackles in the last few minutes

Smith looks raw, but not out of place. Good signs.

Smart to handball along the ground by Salem. He is a smart player.

Jeffy has been excellent so far.  Buzzing around the bottom of the packs and having an impact which is excellent to see.

super unselfish by garlett.

really liking what i'm seeing in terms of our tackling and quick hands in the contest.

Watts playing?

Nope. He's sitting a few feet away from me in the stand. 

Hogan on the wing to Gawn at CHF to Viney at FF.

BANG!

Nope. No Watts, Tyson, Kent, Hibberd, Jetta.

Captain dead eye.

oh captain my captain with a brilliant goal from the boundary

Hogan takes a mark on the wing, plays on to Gawn immediately.  Put chills in my spine - Hogan last year always looked far too slow to move it on when playing up the ground.  Great signs.

Lovely passage of play!

Great quarter from the boys, absolutely loving the intent, tackling and pressure.  Only negative you could say is that we could be a few more goals ahead.

Ahh Bradshaw!

not looking good for roughead.

god i hate injuries in preseason

Agh Brayshaw spills a mark he should've taken on the siren 

 

in bad news Bulldogs' Roughead looks like he's hurt his knee 

We are playing very very well. 

Right now I don't feel like we have a single player on the field that makes me want to shake my head is anger/bemusment/horror
