Stringer is starting to tear us up. If he'd kick straight earlier we'd be in real trouble

Their delivery inside 50 is miles ahead of ours. Stringer is just getting on the end of it, if it wasn't him it would be someone else.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a forward who can actually mark the ball in the forward line.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Minchingtin has bought his non existent game today - he just goes missing for so long, and is then Luke warm when the ball is in his vicinity. Hope he gets a reve up at half time

So apparently you can throw the ball in a tackle, they cracked down on it at the start of the year and seem to have forgotten the rule, much like deliberate OOB.

Think it's time for a new direction and a new game plan. This one doesn't work.

Dont talk about skills...I am beginning to think that Richo is a turkey of a coach. Steven and Ross went to sleep, we stopped tackling. The forward line is a joke...really!

Not the problem. We just can't kick it to them cleanly enough.

Well it's definitely a different game plan than the one from last week- it worked ok in the first quarter.

About time Gresham pulled his finger out of his arse. Bulldogs getting some good support from the umpires


In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there.

Sorry but we are getting an absolute reeming by the umps - cant see us winning this - game is too fast for the umps to pick up basic free kicks

Forward efficiency is woeful. We either come back out and turn it over in the middle of the ground or put it straight down the throat of their defenders.

Holding the ball doesn't exist for the Dogs apparently. Bob Murfy making our forwards look silly- who's the forward coach again..can we sack him.

Playing a small forward line hasn't worked. The Dogs flood numbers back too quickly and we don't have the quality of smalls to rove it clear of the pack.

In fairness to Richo, he couldn't play Bruce, not after last week's VFL performance. But, I don't think he has any other tricks up his sleeve.
