Swans could be whittling the Bulldogs percentage down for us if not for their inaccuracy.

Assuming we finish third and Geelong finish second, would that mean a final at Kardinia Park or still at the MCG?

Our final against them in 2018 drew more than 90,000.

GMHBA holds like 30,000.

There's no way they can be allowed to play a final against us down there.

Thank you Buddy!

One of our improvements this year (and teams like swans) is the ability to absorb bad umpiring decisions. Seen many of our folks get riled by a bum decision, only to see their head back in the game moments later and not sooking it up. Very impressive. Reminds me of the ice hockey the way a player can cop a rough check and go back to playing and not looking for blood.

Game over, well played Swans. Top of the tree again!

We went into this weekend sitting second, I for one was fearful would would end it in fifth and now it looks like will will come out on top. Love it. 

The Dogs are not the best team in the comp

 

Bulldogs' percentage down to 141.5 (down by 6.1%).

Still 11.6% above us but the gap was 19.1% before this Round, so between the two results we've shaved a third of the gap off.

28 frees to 14

Well the umpires tried really hard. Disappointed for them.

Buddy is cooked. very little influence today

He's not what he was, but he still draws heaps of attention and frees up his team mates in the Sydney forward line.

All the games that the Bulldogs have lost this year have shown that they do not have a plan B. 

I love the way commentators say Bulldogs are a top 4 team no doubt about that....however there is plenty of doubt about us and we are a game in front of them....

Many pundits would have said before this round that the Dogs and Brisbane were the two best sides in it.

It's funny what one loss can do (see, eg, our loss last week).

Don't forget the Dogs have five best 22 players injured. We, Brisbane, Geelong and Sydney have barely five players missing combined.

Dawson is excellent

Agree has been v v good 

Without a doubt Dogs can still finish 1st. They have a very easy draw.

This is not irregular for the dogs. Statistically they are umps faves, and if I remember correctly,  particularly at Marvel. Noise of affirmation at Marvel certainly explains that bias, otherwise it’s a mystery. I think one of their weaknesses is actually their reliance on umps favouritism.

The Dogs' run home: GC (away), Adelaide, us, Essendon, Hawthorn, Port.

Our run home: Hawthorn, GC (Darwin), them, West Coast (away), Adelaide, Geelong (in Geelong).

How long has Buddy left on his 10 year contract?

Ugle Hagan I know it his first game but lacks intensity. Remind me a lot of you know who!

Thanks Sydney. We are still on top

Ladder predictors, are, garbage...

I think the Bombers could do them. And us of course. Who knows what Port will be throwing into their final H&A game too?
