Chook

I'd play Petracca forward, Jackson as a mid, bring in Wied as backup ruck/forward, and drop Brown.

I'd prefer to rip my spine out of its socket.

Geelong, Pies, Dees could all still pull one out of the hat but the Swans are definitely in the box seat.

Neutrals probably loved the Dees Swans game too.

The Bulldogs 🤝 Losing Finals in Perth

Geez you take this if you were a dockers fan after that first quarter and a half.

Mission very much accomplished.

Two quickies for the dockers on the eve of half time. Hope they can make a game of it in the 2nd half.

That’s a soft free to Walters.

Having been to a final at Optus Stadium that is over after the 1st quarter, I feel for the Dockers. Sucks for them to play one of last year's grand finalists in the first round. The dogs are bloody dangerous and I won't count them out until they're gone.

Freo cooked. This could be a 2023-killing finals loss.

I did a quick sum this morning and I reckon the Dees v Swans game last night at about 80k grossed at least 5 million dollars in gate takings alone.

The Pies look spent imo. Not sure they can hang on, but I hope they do. Hatred of Geelong trumps all.

Nope. I was a young lad in grade 1. In Darwin.

100% agree on every count.

lol tommy mac is so straight up and down. "News to me". "this week."

Er…it's his name?

The only mess is that the ARC consistently pull decisions out of their proverbial. This should have been the umpire's call. I think the ARC should be abolished because sport should be a human endeavour, but accepting there must be some sort of review system then the review system must acquiesce to the human umpire when there isn't definitive evidence.

Schaudenfreude

What a win - dees are in the prelim baby!!!

Joe's done it. He's kicked it!!! What a finish to this game.

They've overrulled it. Horrible decision. You cannot tell for sure where the ball was when it was over the line.

What a tackle from the 300 gamer Shane Edwards.

"Daniher looking for the free - it was never gonna be on." That's half his problem. He needs to just play the ball on its merits.
