2016 to 2019 Ben Brown's contested mark totals were 49, 43, 36, 35, which were ranked 5th, 7th, 12th, 15th in the league. Not sure he is not renowned for it based on that. Would also argue North's decline are reflected in the slight drop off in numbers.

Yeah around the 50. Hard to tell watching on TV.

Question for those at the game - did any of our forwards hold position? Or were they all up the ground most of the time?

The discussion about the protected area 50s not being paid - of course the umpires pets the Bulldogs got at least one paid on Sunday.

That sounds like the peak MFCSS scenario.

Clarko more likely.

Tarrant took a better mark on QB that year.

Umps like Margetts seem to me to be following instructions, presumably from the umpires coach, but in reality from AFL HQ.

On one of the podcasts it was mentioned it can take up to 20-30 minutes to get a change to take effect. With this one the commentators noticed it - surely the players could see it and bring another forward up to the stoppage, if we want to maintain having the extra back?.

We are 3 games clear of 6th. 5th is the worst possible scenario for a few weeks, and dropping further would require Sydney to beat the Bulldogs this week.

We'll beat Port, and all the crybabies on here will be up and about again.

I think there should be no new threads within 24 hours of a loss other than created by @Demonland

He would not want to use it as an excuse though.

Have we been in heavy training mode the last few weeks? If so, tapering down must be about to happen.

HQ are manipulating the ladder. One of Brisbane or Port will make top 2, as 2 Qualifying Finals and presumably 2 Prelims at the G does not optimise TV viewers in a national competition.

HQ be very happy. #freekickbulldogs be on top tomorrow night and spots 7/8 both up for grabs. Margetts can go get [censored].

It's there to be won.

Not when HQ is manipulating the ladder.

To us? Never.

Reckon the club knew we were playing Thursday so no Brown with a 5 day break. Would suggest he only plays a half for Casey tonight.

Maggots never get any better do they?

Vanders sub.

No. Injured. Calf.
