Deestroy All

Need his left foot. He's a better footballer than Michie in every way. I feel bad for Michie but it's an easy swap.

How was the zero respect he showed Martin after the free kick deep in the back pocket. Just played on and waltzed around him like he wasn't there.

Yeah, he'll be sore for a few days.

Thanks, bj. Sounds promising.

It's all about the Petraccage next week. No?

Can we? I read somewhere that you can't trade them 2 years in a row. I'm pretty sure it was a supporter comment somewhere though, been wondering if it's true or not.

I've said it many times before, but my biggest knock on Newton is his lack of strength in a contest, which has been really awful. Other than that I don't mind him. Can anyone that was there today comment on how he was over the ball? Haven't seen him in a team with the types of inside beasts we have now though, so there could be an outside roll for him.

Cousin I believe.

Yeah I mentioned that one in the Petracca debut thread (should just be a Petracca thread btw), incredible skill.

I watched his 2nd goal yesterday that many times. Best goal of the day by a mile when you consider the whole sequence. The strong tackle to stop the potential rebound and keep it alive in our forward line, the manic hard as [censored] dive to retrieve the ball, then waltz out the back and dribble it through like it was no biggie. Just wanted it more than everyone. Sensational goal.

That's why we're letting Richmond look at him first.

Just turned it on after the siren, why was Dunstan crying? Apart from being StKilda tradition...

More so than Gold Coast, at least.

Any frisbee throwing?

That 2nd goal was ridiculous. His clean pick ups below his knees at pace and quick give offs have been a good glimpse into the talent he possesses. I love how he and Oliver keep their feet in all contests. Those 2 are so exciting.

Repeat efforts.

6 - Gawn 5 - N Jones 4 - Jetta 3 - Oliver 2 - Viney 1 - Harmes

We only go up when we lose.

If the opposing ruckman doesn't play a blinder, teams are on the back foot all game vs Gawn. What a luxury. Thought Viney's first half disposal was woeful. He snuffed that out with 2 kicks straight after half time. The skipper lead like he should, could smell a kill and really stepped up. Oliver is a [censored] amazing footballer. Best hands I've seen at the Dees ever. That handball into the corridor before Bernie [censored] it up was something else. Nev Jetta is one courageous and extremely consistent footballer. Apart from Nev the defence always worries me. Small forwards kicking goals on opposite feet and Petracca getting a feel for it, party time. I'd be happy if I never heard the name Ablett again, [censored] they never shut up about him. Gawn sold him candy once, and outran him later, no mention of that though.

Have the Bulldogs been outside this year?

Had 24 v North.

Andrew Walker should get a maccas award if he ever keeps his feet.

Why does Tim keep calling hands 'scratchers'? Everyone knows they're "dukes."
