I've decided to play a drinking game for the second half. I'm going to down a shot every time the dogs throw the ball. Reckon i'll be 3 sheets in no time

you're all welcome to join me if you want

Salem and Langdon were in All Australian form for the first 10 weeks or so.

Since Salem missed sore and Langdon missed through concussion, both have dropped right off. Salem was ranked 10th best player in the league before missing. He’s not in the top 60 since.

Yep. We’ve gone back to ignoring Langdon as an option, and his kicking is woeful.

Salem probably needs a week off to reset, no point waiting for the bye.

If he is healthy let’s put him on ball here for the second half and try something different

Free kicks 4-15 half time dogs favour.

Apparently they can throw the ball and hold it and hit us high and thats ok. Right.

The Kossie tackle the dog player ran from the kickout to near the fifty and kicked into Kossie. must have ran 30 mts

I’m assuming the umps also made us miss 5 simple chances?

Agree. Umps have been disgraceful. But just like last week, and against the Crows and Pies etc, we just don't take our chances. Umps become largely irrelevant to great sides.

BBB use to have a slower run up i feel he's approaching his kicking motion with too much momentum and not enough rhythm.

This fiddling around with the ball in his hands is messing with his ball drop back to basics BBB.

Three factors in a first half deficit

1. Caleb Daniels ability to be clean in these conditions.

2. Ben Browns inaccuracy 

3. Umpires

 

 

So Why cant Badloss put an absolute negater on him? Coaching nous non existent!

We are being umpired out of the top 4. Last week, and again tonight. HQ want Port and Brisbane top 4 and we are the unlucky ones.

Seems to be the case.  We are being totally screwed by the umpires, and of course by our own goal kicking ineptitude

You cant control the umpires you can control a dominate ruckman not hitting to our players, forwards how can't mark and kick.  Blame umpires all you want we have massive clearance and forward issues

Brayshaw no prior tries to get rid of the ball free kick goal to Dogs. Umpire doesn't even know the rule.

Same up the other end earlier, Bont drops it in a tackle but play on for an English goal! No justice. That’s footy but in the second half we need to shut down Daniel big time and then take charge of the midfield if we are to win this.

I’ve been a BB supporter, but If he can’t nail his set shots he is of no use to us. Might as well replace with Weid at least he crashes the pack better

Weed creates by crashes packs and bringing the ball to ground thus opportunities whereas Brown doesn't. When Tommy can hold his marks it rebounds too easily

Yep I’m considering switching off,

boring [censored] football. Can’t stand watching Umpiring when dogs are playing. 

I'm much close to switching off than I usually would be.

No they didn’t, but in close games getting a ride like this lifts the team and deflates the victim. 
Dogs certainly handling the ball better. 
Our kicking for goal has cost us again. Dominated most of that quarter for no reward.

Hannan showing us (& Ben Brown) how to kick the friggin thing. 

Umpires will always hate us but just amazed we've held top spot after the last 5 weeks efforts (Port game an exception).

Also the mids are getting pantsed.  I count maybe one or two clearances for the whole night.

I would have moved Kozzie on to Daniels to start the second.

Bring Macca up the ground and clear some space behind.

Manic pressure and attack on the ball missing.  The Dogs want it more so far.

And why is Max constantly smashing the ball forward straight into the hands of the Doggy's defensive sweeper?  Just dumb footy.

Put Max on the bench, Dogga into the middle.  Macca plays higher and Kozzie into the middle.  Scrap that stupid zone in our front half....it's a MAJOR fail and the difference between us winning and losing far too often.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.
