All The Small Things, Round 5, Vs Brisbane

[bulldogtragic]

A celebration of the little things.

There was a 3 of 1 contest in the third (I think) where Hunter did an outstanding job.

Boyd's 50+m bombing goal in the second. He looked like vintage Carey coming out, getting the ball and wheeled around arrogantly and slotted it from a long way out. It felt like he was saying, 'give it to me, I'll do it and take the responsibility since the rest of you are missing easy goals'.

Bont's ground kick.

Easton smothering Claye Beams in their goal square. Stayed switched on and stopped what should of been a certain goal.

Pickens contested mark almost immediately after above. Eleviated the pressure of the situation.

Good calls on both. Picken simply has no fear, especially in that contest, he's one very tough mofo.

Picken's mark in the last quarter was amazing.

Macrae's right foot pass to TC to keep the play flowing.

Our trainer yelling out and pointing to the umpire that the Brisbane trainer ran through Bob's protected zone, getting a 50m penalty and certain goal. It's not often you can say a trainer was directly responsible for a goal.

There is clearly no 'trainers code' !

I've watched that clip a few times, it's as if their trainer had never watched an AFL game ever. It's up there with the dumbest thing I've seen on field. Not just near his 10m protected zone, but through the middle of the mark... I mean, thanks for gifting Bob a goal, but it's easily the dumbest thing I can remember in recent memory.

I'm not sure what the story is with Brisbane and their trainers for interstate games - but I understand (form a mate who works with him) that the trainer that gave away the 50m lives/works in Melbourne. Feel sorry for him.

I think that, a bit like the interchange, you can look at it and go "one off, one on - how hard could it be"....but its a pretty chaotic game, and a lapse in concentration get very very severe penalties.

Pretty sure it's standard for the non-Vic teams to have Melbourne based non-core staff.

Ie. I know Port Adelaide's matchday trainers and bench officials for their Victorian games are all Melbourne based. Not sure how it works for other away games where you only play once a season (Sydney, Brisbane etc.) although I believe Port would fly their Melbourne crew down for the Tassie matches.

Oh and Dunkley has clearly been in the weight room. Those cannons.

TC's handball whilst being tackled, leading to Macraes goal in the first.

Good call Slim. I thought TC toiled pretty well for us yesterday.

Agree, he has had a solid fortnight. Need a big one from him Friday.
