Post Match Discussion - Round 11

[Demon Jack 7,152]

We've won the same amount of games over the last six weeks than we did during the entirety of the 2012 and 2013 combined.

Quite a way we've come.

Nice of Beveridge to fit two Bulldogs in there.

Having now seen the replay, the most pleasing thing for me was that we found away to get back into it after the three early Dogs goals and then to control general play despite being beaten in clearances. In most of our wins this year we've dominated around the stoppages. I'm not able to put my finger on why we got beaten so badly, but whatever the reason, we adjusted.

We also adjusted to combat the loss of Lever nicely. Harmes played well across half-back and Lewis and Jetta both played stunning games.

Hogan and TMac up forward are gelling so well together.

Wrong topic. Have put into media not giving us credit.

Can i just bring light to the fact that we went down to 3 on the bench from the first quarter, and also had 20 mins of 2 on the bench and still managed to come back from 8 points down at quarter time to smash our opposition...

Not sure where to pose this question, but given it's a question about stats recorded for this game, this is probably better than starting a new thread.

According to the AFL website here are some players, their disposal numbers and their contested possessions (CP) and uncontested possessions (UP). However, the contested and uncontested possessions do not equal disposals. Perhaps this is because a player may take possession but not dispose of the ball. But if that's the case, how does Petracca have more disposals than possessions? 

Does anyone know how these numbers are actually derived and what they measure?

Did Tom get on of Petracca's possessions?

I guess you can have more disposals than possessions if you kick it off the ground and a kick however got is counted as a disposal.

Let's not forget he's also played some very good games as a run-with players as well (at least once this year).  He offers some versatility.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him run with Sidebottom on the weekend.  

Sidebottom will enjoy a weekend with Bernie. Without doubt, Bernie would just love to contain Sidebottom using his tricks of the trade and I hope that this eventuates. It is up to the rest of the team to limit the options that Sidebottom regularly finds; a close quarters game from the Dees should enable that to take place.

Observant!

My 5 week old daughter still hasn't witnessed a loss... she's going to think I'm crazy when I tell her about "the dark days"

hell, she's only ever seen 1 lost quarter!

You got perfect timing for breaking her in. She will be rusted on Dees for life.

LFR, it's either your daughter or Charlie Spargo who are responsible for our 6 consecutive wins. Both probably about the same size but I'm guessing your daughter is cuter.

I missed the majority of the game due to work and haven’t had a chance to read this whole thread but am I right in thinking that the Bulldogs players didn’t stay on the ground to form a guard of honour for Jones when he was carried off?

From memory that is correct BA

Well that is poor form. I know he wasn’t playing his last game but I still think he should of been extended the courtesy.

Please. It's just a 250th. I love Jones as much as anyone, but if you're not playing your 300th you shouldn't get a guard of honour.
