Casey stopped Terrible forward entries not great

North doing all the running this quarter only 21 points down

Okay but not smashing it Schache showing a little

Brown needs a strong last quarter Has been thereabouts but not quite right. Same for the other contending forwards. Tomlinson almost suffered leather poisoning that quarter

Cunnington Bear ???

Schache putting his hand up (maybe) Joel Smith .. is he on the bench?

Exchange of goals... both from technical free kicks Casey by 29 Tomlinson having a purple patch

Dogs crowds are usually around our numbers.. perhaps 20% less Only 5k seats at Ballarat so it's not difficult to fill They would have had 17-20k at Docklands for this game

Cunnington keeping North in this Must be 20 plus possessions

He definitely did !! 😊

Only has a capacity of 11k so it's usually a sell out It's the same travel time as Geelong from Melbourne so it's not a long travel. Not much further than Casey from the Melbourne CBD in travel time. Why Bulldogs are paid $1M to play there by the State Government... who knows

Great strong pack mark by Jefferson and a strong goal from 45

yes.. but not quite enough Good goal to Sestan

not the greatest forward delivery by Casey North generally on top Goal to Smith after a pass from BBB puts Casey back in front

After a promising start to the season by Jefferson he's been quiet recently

3 missed tackles.. one missed mark.. goal to North

no replay on the VFL stream

He's a little pro North but otherwise quite good. I find these part time callers interesting.

Melksham in a keystone cops moment Casey patchy

a bit jumpy.. I dropped the resolution to 720p and it's a little better

Good positioning, mark and goal by Joel Smith scores level

18 disposals... only one less than Rivers... a nice bright spot Does anyone have stats on metres gained for Salem?

Dunstan had 5 games for us in 2022. We won four of them but I cannot recall him impacting the game. Most say he's too slow for AFL.

"Stale" is a good description .. as a player would you be wondering about the incessant boundary tactics when the rest of the comp has moved onto fast corridor play. If the "lose the clearance and get them on the rebound" is a real strategy it's laughable against the better teams

just watch Casey today we'll play the boundary and bomb it forward. Even have the left side kick out. Do we ever practice anything different ... even for a quarter or two at VFL level let alone at AFL level
