Dogs 0-2-2 v Saints 5-2-32 in 2nd quarter


Season 2024 is where RTB is showing the footy world his grasp of the modern game. :shock:

The only frustrating thing atm is that it feels like we’re bundling some opportunities to deliver a TKO

Yeah great start but Dogs still well and truly in it.

Has been a lot of poor delivery inside 50, just bombing long to the Dogs talls.

Butler and Higgins still not doing enough in F50

We are bombing it a bit, but to good positions.
Sadly, it does show how much we miss King and Membrey.
I reckon they would have marked 2 or 3 of those and we'd be further in front.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

The only game in the world where umpires have so much influence in the result. So much grey in the way AFL is officiated.

Ive defended him for a year, but enough - Butler needs some time in the 2s

I would sub one out and bring Windy on. He needs to be on the trenches.

Butler is getting muscled out and Higgins can’t get near it

We are still up, with half time to recover and reset.

Owen missed 2
Higgins missed 1

And a few bad entries in F50 cost us the knock out punch and the bulldogs capitalised

Did we run out of a bit of legs at the end? Got a bit sloppy and couldn’t clear it out of the D50.

Wasted a lot of inside 50s in that half too, gotta go in lower, can’t just bomb it long.

Some shocking decisions. One or two our way. 5 or 6 their way. How the hell was that in the back against Clark?

Lost some confidence and went to defense mode. Attack is the best form of defense.
