Dees seriously poor this week - crash landing !! X Turnovers turnovers turnovers X Poor skills - Poor decisions X Second to the footy X Bombing it inside 50 - allowing Freo to intercept X Losing clearances X JVR parachute hands again X Missed tackles - Gotta lock it in X lazy disposals Kozzy Jiath Riv 👍🏻Use the footy through the corridor. We used it a few times and got scores 👍🏻Max is a warrior. 100% effort every week. Need MAX HEATH in !! Can’t have Gawn wrecked. Can’t have JVR thrown into the ruck. Need ANW in !! Small defender. Dudley could have kicked 6 !! Bolton brought his own footy

Votes 6- Heath 5- ANW 4- Bonner 3- Stanley 2- Mentha 1- Berry

Good call. They look exhausted in the second match !! Skills also shaky. Not sure what happened over summer !!!

3rd Kings notes … Rivers fumbles turnover Freo goal Jiath terrible handball turnover Freo goal Windsor kick 20 meters miss target - turnover Freo. Voss miss (lucky) Sparrow inside 50 kicks to … kozzzy!! Wtf Bolton. Dees let him run and run into z50 (at him !!) Jiath had to close quicker. Freo goal. Dees running forward. Kozzzy little handball to Langford - behind him !! Loose. Very loose. Steele. Inside 50 kick. Just a bomb !! Not to any advantage Freo kick inside 50 to space. Freo goal. Chandler kick inside 50. Straight to Ryan. 👍🏻pressure inside 50. Score through contest. Sparrow good finish. 👏Gawn intercept mark. Courage. ?? Chandler. Rivers. Want the footy ??? Serong. Windsor terrible poor tackle. Freo goal. Latrelle!! Running in 25 metres out. Finish omg - kicks 15 metre to Freo. Turnover. Missed tackle. Missed tackle. Dudley goal. Kozzzy. Not tackle. Goes to bump. Hits Salem. Not smart at all !! Inside 50s Freo 12. Score 7.2 dees 14. Score 1.2 Bombing !! You know the method. Dumb footy. Turnovers and missed tackles and dumb footy.

Trac injured Oliver was average. Handballs to no one once again on show

It was a shocker Clear … kick it Handball to nowhere

Rivers fumbled badly !!

Rivers turnover 🤬 Rivers fumbles turnover 🤬 Freo goal 🤬

Completely agree DD36 I think AMW and Heath will likely get promoted soon. Also liked the energy of Tommy Matthews and his goal smarts.

Tommy goals. 👏👏He is a ripper

Stanley goal 👏👏 End to end 👏👏 Bonner run and link up and run 👏👏 AMW setup with direct clean rebound too 👏👏

Hard to the beat the Dogs and the umps 🤬

I did mean before that!!

AMW and Bonner are a step above. Bonner would’ve been a handy player still at senior AFL footy. AMW will be back in the 1sts very soon. Clean with his possession and composed Agree young Tommy Matthews has some energy. Just needs to get his hands on the footy. Treloar is above this & enjoying his run. I think they are restrict his minutes.

Need to get Melksham into the game

Dolan drops the mark. Mark paid !! Umpires are third rate.

@Nascent agree seems like it’s kick kick kick. But moving it downfield quickly is a nice change from the over possession footy game.

Craven. Nice. Two goals. Quick ball movement and crumbs a goal. Back to 4 points. Bonner doing well.

Kicking to mid sized forwards with no targets Dogs poor goalkicking is keeping us in the game. Billings 1.3 already and missed two definite chances.

Wish we had AJ & Kentfield up forward. Need some targets.

Dees 14 Dogs 30 Dogs with Treloar and Billings are on top. Lots of quality AFL listed and VFL regulars in their team. Cross goal after the siren was much needed. 👍🏻 ANW and Mentha looking good so far. 👍🏻

Bulldogs. Relatively light injury list. Unavailable: Cody Weightman - knee TBC, Zac Walker - ankle 6-8 weeks, Latham Vandermeer - concussion - Test, Riley Garcia - hamstring TBC.

Who will the Dees take as the travelling emergency to Perth? Assume they take Laurie as a cover for Langdon. Typically Dee’s have overloaded in travelling emergencies, taking 2 or 3 players and leaving Casey light on. Not sure if Tom McDonald will be WA bound or play for Casey.

@whatwhat say what context was The Tribunal found that May didn't intend to bump, but Gleeson said his actions were "unreasonable". The AFL Tribunal imposed a three-match ban. Unreasonable ? By whose standards Melbourne appealed the decision, arguing May was solely focused on winning the ball, but the appeal failed, and the three-match ban was upheld. Pendlebury had no intention to play the ball. His intent was to physically bump the Crows player. He got it wrong. He made clear contact with the head (remember the AFL once said that the head was sacrosanct!!). Yet Pendles gets cleared of any suspension and gets a fine. No rational person could ever equate the decisions the Tribunal makes, except to conclude there is bias and that explains the decisions being made. @Demonland
