    Not happy on Bulldogs BigFooty autotopsy thread. Not just with the umpiring. Tim English ('grasshopper' as my friend calls him) is copping an almight pizzling ...

    English is weak the sooner Bev and co accept that the better
    Timmy is best suited to be a lollipop person in a country town with no cars looking after a level crossing of a kinder that has one student,

    Normally when I watch a non-Dees match I have a slight preference for one of the teams. However Hawthorn ... hate them .... Carlton ... hate them.

    I have now reached the stage where I hate pretty much every non-Dees team. In order, it's obviously the filth first, then daylight. 

    I didn't hate GC cos they were kind of pathetic. However the arrival of Hardwick as coach means I now hate them too.

    Re Turner ... unproven as well

    And that's why our forward line is dysfunctional

    Too many what-if's.  Right now, we don't have one forward who we can absolutely rely on

    By contrast, we can rely on on our midfield and defence.  2 out of 3 ain't bad but it's not great either

     According to the late Mr Loaf.

    The ease that GWS moved the ball out of our forward line was at times, startling.  On a drier day, they might have really cleaned us up (there again, we might have clunked a few more marks on a dry day ... with our oversized forward line) 

    And GWS are not the only team that can move the ball quickly on the counter-attack.  

    Whilst we're trying to lock the ball in our forward line by employing the press, the good teams only need one accurate, quick disposal and they are off to the races

    It's not a new thing either

    We need to back ourselves into using the corridor more with faster ball movement so as we can advance the ball into a more open forward line

    Our style is gritty and we are hard at the contest.  Our strength is winning contested ball but we seem to have to work too hard in order to score

    By contrast (today at least) GWS' method of scoring was highly efficient.  Helps that they are highly skilled but that's what we have to beat

    My only reservation is the level of foot skills among the team.

    A few times we were 'on', but a miskick (usually overkicking) across the ground led to costly turnovers.

    Mrs Redleg after that disgraceful free and goal to Danger, just called the umpires cheats. Cox was not given a second and the ball was behind him between Danger’s legs. Commentators also too scared of losing their fat contracts to call what they are seeing.

    I told her that the umpires are at least consistent. Geelong has had the umpiring their way at that ground for 125 years.

    Agree with Mrs Redleg. Commentators too gutless to call out obvious umpire cheating.

    So, onto tonight's game.

    Barring a draw, there will be good news (one of them will lose) and bad news (one of them will win).

    It's a choice between Ebola and Meningococcal.   

    Or typhoid v cholera ....
