Correct historically, but maybe your tense is incorrect. We'll see soon.

"..people called them that..."?

My read was the Dogs gave Richmond some ammunition to work with in the second half. The Dogs flooded heavily in the second quarter and were able to rebound and break away easily from defence. To sustain that against the Tigers all game is flirting with danger. 
Hardwick was quick to recognise this at half time and Liam Baker was moved forward in the third and set the tone early with his forward pressure and had a real impact. That got their tails up and the Dogs faced an uphill battle from there, all of a sudden the ball wasn’t escaping the Dogs backline with ease. 
Credit to the Tigers for a brilliant third quarter, it won them the game and they were too good on the night.

This is last night's take away.

That's what I said the morning after Anzac eve celebrations.

I don’t watch enough Dogs games to know if it is always the case but Caleb Daniel looked like their most important player. He sets up the play for them and always puts players into better positions. Stats sometimes inflate a player’s importance but his 34 disposals last night at 91%m if anything, undersells him. 
When we play them I’d be putting ANB on him as a hard tag. Take away Daniel and the Bulldogs will struggle

Good to see the AFL continuing last night with their distancing model by leaving great swathes of the upper deck empty.

Expect the same with Pies v Suns today.

Either ANB OR Spargo's clear role will be to HARD tag Caleb Daniel and then escort him to his car after the game, help him put his keys in the ignition and watch him drive of into the sunset

The virus proliferates outside of camera angle. That’s where super spreading  occurs. Didn’t you know? 

Every time Josh Bruce got near the ball did  anyone else think "I cant believe this guy kicked 10 goals in a game?"

That's how bad North Melbourne are by the way.  Ben Brown should be aiming to kick 15 on Sunday.

And as for the soft Dogs, how much of their 157% came from their 130 point pounding of a listless North under the Telstra dome roof?

The best 3 teams in the comp are Melbourne, Port and Richmond in that order.

 Naughtons set shot in the last quarter was one of the worst ever.  Kept looking up at the scoreboard.  Not sure what he was distracted by but shows how mentally weak the Dogs are.  Will be very disappointing if we lose to such a soft overrated outfit.

I thought exactly that.

Just making sure the perm looked alright!  He should have been hurrying back and just banging it through, was quite strange considering time left in game.

And put the blocks of wood on his feet so he can reach the pedals

He was actually checking the vision to admire and make sure his coiffure wasn’t too ruffled.

I’ve tipped the crows for safety but I think the giants could be a chance.

How good would it be if this horrific song is filling the MCG air in a few hours.

Gold Coast don't have a proper ruckman today.  This Chris Burgess fella who is named as ruck doesnt even get any hitouts and the kid Graham gets 10-12 per game.  Just what  the hell are they playing at?   Grundy will get 80 hit outs today.

Would love to see a Qld club add a nail to Buckley's coffin after he walked out on the bears/lions/whatevertheywere.

So they are 3x as likely to win against melb than bullies or Wc and 5x vs Richmond?  Shows we have not yet earned any trust in what we are doing.

The odd will get longer as the season goes on. ie if they beat us the other games become pointless. 

Just saw the filths banner on fox. they spelt tonight as tonihgt. What a farce of a club. Wonder how they spell teeth ?

The ruck position is over rated. I don;t remember the exact details but in the game against brisbane Grundy had something like 80% of the hit-outs. The pies still lost the game.
