Good looking side

 

[Frank McWilliams]

I like us with 2 middle forwards on bench, going to be tough slog in the wet

 

[danknights]

Rain won't let up so as long as we play like round 1 v warriors we should come home with the chocolates. Must win this to keep us from sliding down the ladder which is cluttered from us down. If we win we go a few pts clear.

 

[Battler]

Shame about the weather, it brings the Bulldogs back into it a bit. If it's a dry track we have way too much strike.

 

[cowboyman]

Mann killing another attack there. Pass it on early to your centre. How hard is it.

 

[slotmachine]

Crap from Pearce

We should be aiming to keep the Bulldogs to 0

 

[slotmachine]

Awful.

 

[cowboyman]

Why didn’t Best dive on the ball there. Crazy.

 

[Battler]

We should be aiming to keep the Bulldogs to 0

Nup

 

[Battler]

Another terrible finish.

 

[slotmachine]

Take away Pearces short kicking licence. Hopeless

 

[Kurriboy]

Can we get Ponga kicking downfield more than Pearce?

He kicks, finds the ground and splits the defenders, Pearce kicks straight to defender on the full practically every time.

Pearce should take 10 off his distance and go for placement.

 

[cowboyman]

Pearce is still in the sheds.

 

[cowboyman]

Averillo bombs it.

 

[knightime]

We should be aiming to keep the Bulldogs to 0

Would be good if we could get more than 0 ourselves, for a start.

 

[slotmachine]

Watch the ball Fitz

 

[cowboyman]

Fitz really has turned back into being a plodder. Barnett should be starting on the edge.

 

[Battler]

Macca's done.

 

[slotmachine]

Hooker curse strikes again
