I read somewhere that a couple of weeks ago Dyson Hepple (?) had 30 odd disposals and actually had negative meters gained. Stats are pretty useless in and of themselves. They do allow comparison of players because they are the same for all. But they don't account for position played, team rules, players role etc. Lies, Damm Lies and Statistics still holds true.

We are not in the top 8 either.

I thought his sprint back to touch the ball in the goal square was pretty good. Must have passed 6 of our players in doing so. It was a terrific effort particularly as we were pretty much cooked.

Missed a set shot from 40-45 and kicked a point on the run from 30 to 40. Funny how Garlett drops a catch my great granny could take which was then swept away and a goal score, Watts kicks into the man on the mark which cost a goal, Hogan missed from 10- 20 and Dawes also missed from 20 (both delivered by Viv) yet Viv is the one that butchers the ball.

Afraid not. Despite Jake Stringer copping a couple of heavy knocks during the game, Bulldogs General Manager of Football Graham Lowe said the forward had recovered well from the match. The Bulldogs could welcome back as many as four players to the senior line-up from injury this Sunday against the Demons, while the playing group has emerged unscathed from the weekend’s win over Port Adelaide. Captain Bob Murphy and defender Josh Prudden did not play against the Power due to general soreness, but both are expected to be available for selection to face Melbourne. “A couple of games with some big running volume in them and a six day turnaround so it was important to manage a couple of key players there in Josh Prudden and obviously Bob Murphy as well, so it’s really pleasing to say that they’re both available to be selected for this week.” Vice-captain Jordan Roughead (foot) and fellow defender Fletcher Roberts (ankle) are also expected to return from their respective injuries.

What game did you watch?

Had his own team called Hogan's Heroes. Very popular but now concentrating on footy.

If only gay marriage was legal and he was gay. I'm not but could be persuaded.

Hogan a legend already.

Brown back on. Lumumba to Harvey

Only watching the game to see him. Worth the price of admission on his own.

Waite kicking goals Feeeerk. Opened the red already.

That was very good by Michie. I like that he does not panic when he gets the ball. Dawes is on today and I think Hogan is playing well and recognising it by going up the ground. He is a thinker for a kid.

Nathan was crook during the week. Should have played Stretch.

FMD I would have put the house on him kicking that. Jones is crook and should not have been played.

Don't worry Kero Bronny has her chopper waiting at Gosh's paddock.

Yep he has played in two this year Richmond and Pies (none last year) but has never been "baptized" . Don't know why? I do know he is very shy and may not want to do it.

If we win I hope Michie gets put in the circle when they sing the song. Or don't we do that?

Just so long as the team does not play like barby's

I have noticed that the mids and Gawn talk to each other before a centre bounce. The mids seem to have specific spots assigned to them at the ball ups. Most are defensive side. Pretty sure that anyone watching game day tapes could work it out and negate it.

Him

What is his number?

No. EoS 2015

He got the same amount of ball as JKH at Casey this week.
