I wonder what was said at that “complacency” meeting after the North game? Seems to have sucked the life out of the players.

6.14 to 23.9 for opposition. WTF is going on after half time?

I believe he was partying with our boys in the early hours after the GF.

Not surprising really. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/bulldogs-investigating-social-media-photo-allegedly-showing-star-bailey-smith-with-bag-of-white-powder-20220611-p5aszs.html

Perhaps we should ban our players from visiting Greville St? I recall much publicised reports of an another ugly incident involving one of our former champions happening there a coupe of decades ago. Bad vibes lurk there.

A friend of mine who was a model citizen, capable, polite, always correct and popular when sober used to become a monster when he drank. Could not stop, became loud, aggressive and violent. He knew he had a problem and drank infrequently but if he relented and had one beer he had to keep drinking till he passed out or worse. Ruined his family and career and eventually topped himself. Anyone who becomes violent and unsociable because of drinking definitely has a serious problem..

or Alistair Lynch and Carl Ditterich.

What an ugly way to end a career.

I heard that May told Melksham that if he had played in the GF we wouldn’t have won and that started the fight.

No.

Soon some is going to rip his daks off him in a tackle.

Twice giving up strong leads suggest so.

How many goal have we given away with free kicks in the last two rounds? I count 9. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Their key forwards McDonald and Reid 6.2 from 32 touches. Brown and Brown 0.1 from 12 touches. Big fail from our tall forwards.

Because we are still on top of the ladder, I won’t just panic yet….just.

Petracca and Oliver well down. All disposals mainly junk.

Still contracted till end of 23 I believe. Only worth as unwanted steak knives ATM. Still if Tmac is out for a long time he might have an opportunity for a Lazarus of Bethany revival.

Same as last night. There was a lot of throwing from both sides.

Tanking for sure. They want the No 1 draft pick and No 1 pre season draft pick to land an un contracted big fish as a back up if they can’t do a trade. We should be nervous.

Smith should get a suspension but Toohey should get grief also for applying the first headbutt.

I have said that about Buddy several times. The Swans play through him too much and their other budding forwards don’t get the opportunities they should. If Buddy plays and he doesn’t get the ball they struggle. I would be very wary this round.

Win win, Cotchin gets slapped and Buddy gets a week.

I thought our first half was excellent. But Gawn, Oliver, Petracca and Viney left their mojo in the change rooms at half time. Big fail in the midfield.

What’s with Petracca, did someone slip kryptonite into his muesli?

At least we do didn’t concede a 100 points.
