OMG the commentary is awful.  BT is just inane. Bruce whilst he knows his stuff, is past it.

Jake Stringer - turning circle of the QM2

Deliberate joke again....

Can't the umps tell when a bloke has been bumped as he kicks it?  Everyone in the stadium saw it except him.

Dogs currently doing what we can't do on Sunday - bomb it long to about 20 metres out.  They got lucky then with Bont kicking the goal, but the Giants are picking them off too easily.  We need to use it better.

It is such a bad rule. It doesn't even stand for anything. 

Defence is a legit part of footy (or was..)

Bruce was right for once in his commentary - a bloke can spoil a ball deliberately out of bounds and get away with it, yet a bloke can get bumped and get pinged for deliberate.  It makes little sense.

I know Boyd is against Momford, but geez he's soft. 

Finally a correct deliberate OOB decision.

Thanks Gil for f'ing up our once great game

BT orgasmic over Bont's handball - almost as good as a typical Oliver one.

BT was fair dinkum dropped at birth, I reckon. 

How did this guy even get a commentator gig in the first place?!

There are now too many rules. 

Patrick Smith said it this morning. 

"Simplify the Rules"

now when the whistle blows it is a gamble which way anything goes

That "below knees" to GWS was actually "in the back" to the Dog who bent down to get the ball.

Another absurd knee-jerk rule - this one I think by not the current knee jerk, Gil, but his predecessor jerk Vlad.

Stringer is a long way off his best footy and has been for some time but Jesus he can just snatch things out of thin air.

$cully, when the heat is really on, the hard stuff needed.. How often does he influence the game? And is BT on the $cully payroll?

Will Stevie J be in the GWS team by finals time?

This game has turned 180 degs

Dogs have almost no traditional football structure, just 15 great competitive footballers of varying height, and a couple of battlers who do a job.

5 years ago there side would have looked ridiculous.

We can win on Sunday if we outwork.

Spot on mate. The dogs just ...Go

Bulldogs just have the knack of being at the fall of the ball. Irrespective of whether they or the other team fumbles there is someone racing past to pick it up

By contrast Scully streaming forward props on the wet grass... the ball falls away from him and is picked up by a Dog and they are back down their end

Talent wise GWS should be a mile in front but that Bulldog style somehow delivers

No...he's a liability and has been since he got there despite all the junk we get from Cameron, Ling and co...

...and they didn't lose last year PF because he was out. He's been past it for a while now, will do the mercurial still, but how easy are the Dogs moving the ball out of defence! rest my case...

Sam McClure's head

discuss...

There's a fair bit of talent on show ... dogs just swarm at the contest and are relentless.  GWS like to get the ball out and move the ball on their terms and against most other teams, it works. 

Where we sit against these 2 teams is important.  We've got the effort, energy, application, attack on the ball & endeavour.  The difference is the poise & finishing skills.  

I'd expect these 2 teams to get to the penultimate week of the season (along with the Crows & one other)

Is a fair dinkum drop greater than a normal drop DAG?

Dogs still aern't scoring. Doing everything else...
