NON MFC: Rd 15 2021

[The heart beats true 18,084]

Bulldogs couldn’t have asked for a better situation than to play the Eagles at Subiaco without a crowd, in the rain.

GWS' recent "form" is a furphy.

Since beating West Coast in Round 10 they've been thrashed by Brisbane, drew with North and had a win over an inept Carlton, and have now lost to Hawthorn.

Right now, COVID aside, I'd argue Fremantle are as well placed as anyone to displace Richmond or Sydney from the top 8.

GWS are such a disappointment. How is Cameron not under intense pressure? Is it because GWS only has 3 supporters?

[Diamond_Jim 12,504]

Looking at the weather radar that should be the end of the rain Perth.

They only had a few mms but it seemed to come at the start of the game.

Could be a better second half from the Eagles

And none of them understand the game.

One of my favourite non MFC players is Weitering. McKay gets all the accolades, but Weitering is just as good, if not better.

I know he signed a contract extension relatively recently, but I'd love him in our back 6 one day.

Looking for that sweet spot where Carlton win just enough games to retain David Teague.

haha that was my theory also with Buckley at the pies...the "nice guy" favorite son who ultimately will never get the job done....hope they keep him for a decade

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,772]

Ridiculous non-free for Gaff

Compare that to Brayden Maynard non contact free!

This is why supporters hate umpires

it's important he stays to complete the platform for their next era of mediocrity and unfulfilled potential. 

[Diamond_Jim 12,504]

hope the Eagles show the same form when we go over there

what a thrashing

[daisycutter 29,596]

boy, didn't realise meth coast relied on the crowd that much.....dogs now 54 pts up and with bad goal kicking

[Jaded No More 68,835]

Another massive percentage booster for the Dogs. While I don’t want interstate clubs in the top 4, I’m sick of the Dogs sniffing our [censored]. 

[BDA 22,691]

It's a pity the West Coast crowd aren't present to witness this. Neck and neck with Essendon as the most entitled supporters in the league.

Eagles at home in Perth without a crowd is worth 1-2 goals a quarter. With that neutralised, as just now, they’re just not all that. Good luck for the Bulldogs, and have to say I’m jealous at how well their forward line is functioning.

Just checked the doggies fixture. They've got a dream run home. Only game they could potentially drop is us only.

The rest are all bottom 8 bar Port Adelaide last round.

Yep and our ordinary percentage thanks to our inability to put teams away is going to hurt us in the run home. Finish 3rd or 4th and get sent to play Lions at the Gabba would be a complete disaster. 

[Demonstone 22,182]

Percentage is irrelevant if we finish first or second.

[Swooper1987 3,322]

WCE paid the price for bringing in too many off a long spell.  Naitanui went missing in the last quarter again.  That final quarter was a demolition.

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,336]

LOL. Have Carlton organised an open top bus down Lygon St for tomorrow.

But we could well finish 4th or 5th because of it. We have by far the hardest draw of the rest of the top 5 sides. We play Geelong, Port, Dogs and West Coast (away). The rest have maybe one game left against a top 5 side.

We haven't put teams away at all and I reckon it's going to potentially cost us in the long run.

I'll cop a bit for this but I honestly think the doggies are currently the best team in the comp.

I think Brisbane are better. They are more even across the ground. I think Dogs have a suspect backline. But time will tell.
