NON-MFC: Rd 16 2021

[Bitter but optimistic 21,254]

W coast done and dusted at half time!

[640MD 2,795]

Well at least we are not as bad as west coast

[loges 6,028]

West Coast only 9 points to half time.

[darkhorse72 1,725]

The ground suits Sydney style of play more than WC, but they have been woeful.  getting old and too many injuries. 

[BDA 20,054]

Seeing the Eagles get smashed has cheered me up a little bit

[monoccular 16,073]

Seriously -  WTF WCE??

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,281]

BT butchering the commentary on rules with Grundy mark and handball play-on ??

Straight forward decision, slow whistle caused the confusion 

[Mickey 4,173]

The best thing a Melbourne supporter can do now is import covid (Or another communicable disease) to Perth so we can play WC in Geelong. They have been smacked twice there this year

[Demonsone 1,600]

We think we have problems.....Wc with thier gun fwds & mids lose by 90 points, my question is how do the swans find a way vs what we are serving up??

LOL Ump paid a free against Roughead, who immediately starts to remonstrate asking the ump all the whys and wherefores. Fan in the front row screams out to the ump, “ANSWER HIM!” Certainly not what an ump would expect to hear. ?

What’s the bet that fan is a schoolteacher or at the very least a dad?

Most polite Collingwood fan I’ve ever heard. ?

Definitely an authoritative figure with a projecting voice!

Max King in red and blue ? 

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 3,927]

Still mad that we lost to Collingwood 

[Gawndy the Great 7,394]

Seriously the Doggies are a good outfit. Their forward connection and ball use is just something to marvel at. 
 

And they have forwards that can actually kick straight.

Ump: "Here's your answer. Jordan, under law 22.2.2 (k), I am reporting you for disputing an umpire's decision."

We should have given BB back to Norf....at least that way he could help them beat Doggies and keep us up the ladder.

[dazzledavey36 48,772]

Don't care what people say on here regarding our ladder position, but the Western Bulldogs are CLEARLY the best team in the comp.

They are ahead on us so many levels. Their midfield to forward connection is light years ahead of us and they have forwards who actually impact and kick goals. 

Their mids just do their role so simple. None of this Hollywood crap that Petracca, Oliver or Harmes have dished out the past couple of weeks. 

Their midfield depth is scary.

A well drilled and coached outfit. Individually though they are not any better so I have some hope that we can build to that but agree they are the best in the comp.

Sure.

Doesn't mean we can't beat them.

We already have.

This almost becomes irrelevant when we lose to sides like Adelaide, Collingwood and GWS.

They're top team because they get it done against these teams when we simply don't.

This is very strange logic Dazzle.

Last year Richmond lost to Hawthorn and Sydney. Does that devalue their premiership?

Its about putting together the best body of work you can to give yourself the best opportunity in September.

Stewy Dew’s nickname? It has to be “Over” doesn’t it? He looks 10 months pregnant!

We beat grand finalists in Adelaide on their home deck in 2017 and also beat eventual premiers in West Coast back in 2018. 

We are one loss from dropping from top 4 next week. The fact we've put ourselves in that position by dropping games to bottom 8 side just shows that we still cannot be trusted once again, and that we are still mentally fragile.

There are significant improvement needed over the next coming weeks because right now our destiny is in our hands if we are to seriously contend 

History will tell you that you'll never win a flag from outside the 4. Doggies did it in a once in a million back in 2016, but it's a rarity.
