GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Western Bulldogs

[layzie 29,759]

That's a wrap 

[Stiff Arm 4,415]

I counted 3 frees to us in that passage. Result: goal dogs

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

When you can’t beat a depleted 17th team don’t expect to beat the second team.

Game over.

Game over. Umpiring is a [censored] disgrace, but we missed our opportunities.

We desperately need to improve our goal kicking accuracy. We never kick more goals than points and it’s directly costing us games now.

[OhMyDees 1,342]

This game is over. Injure as many dogs players as you can and stay uninjured.

[monoccular 16,394]

FMD.  Salem held without ball - no free - goal to Dogs who just cannot miss

Our forward disposal is just disgraceful.  Thanks Goodwin Williams and Yze 

[McQueen 17,864]

We will win this. 

[Jaded No More 59,111]

We look awful. Viney Langdon Harmes Salem Spargo ANB giving us absolutely nothing. 
Once again relying on too few to do too much.

great we give away another goal in the last minute - great defensive football

they have 10 scoring shots to our 9 and lead by 19 - brilliant. Gotta love our forward coach.

[WA Demon Boy 966]

tough conditions, but we are nowhere

Not a chance in hell we get close to winning the flag 

we don't have enough outside class

Been saying it for years 

Not to mention our forward line is trash 
 

[Lord Travis 10,268]

Time to start injuring them to compensate for the unfair umpiring.

[Gorgoroth 12,353]

Move onto next week. We cannot win this.

Typical shizen goal kicking and the umps have 100k on the doggies

[Webber 10,181]

Yep. All over. Disgraceful umpiring, rubbish football. Not within a paddock of finals-worthy intent.

Don't believe the stats our mids are getting smashed, our forwards are woeful.

[Webber 10,181]

Yep. All over. Disgraceful umpiring, rubbish football. Not within a paddock of finals-worthy intent.

[censored] goal kicking........AGAIN

i thought brown was supposed to be a sharp shooter

[Hot as Hell 465]

There is no question which team has dealt with the conditions better and the best team overall.

The scoreboard absolutely reflects that.

Umpiring not good but not the difference.

We will see what our players are made of after half time.

[loges 6,238]

When TMac is quiet we struggle big time. But the umpiring and missing 3 sitters we coud be still in the game.

our goal kicking is our downfall unfortunately we lack skillful kicks like Breust for Hawks

[Pates 9,537]

First off our kicking for goal is what’s made us be 21 points down. BUT FAIR BLOODY DINKUM THE UMPIRES MIGHT AS WELL BE WEARING BULLDOGS UNIFORMS. THEY ARE THROWING, THEY ARE BEING TACKLED BUT DON’T DISPOSE OF IT, THEY ARE BEING GIVEN AN ARMCHAIR RIDE THIS ENTIRE MATCH. Chalk at least two goals against the umps. 

On our side, we have to take our chances. 0.2 from Brown isn’t only disappointing, it’s deflating. Not just that he misses but that they are supremely gettable kicks, you would expect ANY AFL player to kick it let alone a FF who’s job it is to do exactly that. We actually had quite a bit of territory and decent opportunities but yet again butchered them. We have regressed back to what we did most of last year. 

Worst part is, I’m still in hotel quarantine after watching us have they great run earlier this year and I’m genuinely wondering whether it’s impossible for Melbourne to be a decent team while I’m in the country. 

[monoccular 16,394]

Seriously if BBB doesn’t kick a match winning bag in the second half he needs to be dropped.  Paid the big bucks and hasn’t looked remotely like kicking either of those set shots.  
Those misses are just totally and momentum killing

First half.
X Goalkicking ??? really Ben Brown

x only 2 goals  22 inside 50s  

x dumb footy   Fritsch (three metres out and knees it!!). The dumb bros  Harmes. Viney. 
X kicking efficiency 44% poor v Dogs 60%  

x Scache beating McDonald (come on Tom) 

???umpires free kicks 4-14 

✅May Lever  ummm. daylight 
✅Trac goal 

✅Gawn 40-8 hitouts   But needs to go forward with force   

Oliver. Lots of the footy but ineffective to create goals. 

[Flower Magic 742]

I didn't realise when we signed BB that we were signing a key forward with the kicking yips. ??
