The ruck situation is utterly perplexing.
Did I see Dunkley take a ruck tap contest tgat Boyd was roving in the last quarter?

That's tge worst umpiring I've ever seen. 12-1 in the first quarter is plain silly. Personally I would have taken my players off at that stage. If they wanted it that badly they can have it.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I did not expect that game to be that stressful.
Tim English has been valiant, but he needs a rest.
Macrae BOG again! Attaboy Jack!

I hope we get some footage of Crossley's warm down and maybe an interview.
I hope they do a special on his mum, she is hot.

Macrae's 24 contested possessions today equal the all time record for a Bulldog. Incredible performance from him when Wood and Bont's absence required a leader to stand up.
Really liking the way Naughton and Cordy are working together down back. Naughton was very good again today.
We are easily the youngest team in the comp in terms of the team we field each week. Match day threads on here are so resoundingly negative I actually get a chuckle out of them when reading post match.

Re: AFL Game Day Round 7, 2018 - Western Bulldogs V Gold Coast Suns at Eureka Stadium, Ballarat
Considering we are so young we do put
together some passages of play that look well above our age.
On another note how bad was the umpiring today , seriously push in the back was non existant and we got pinned for holding the ball in seconds and they got minutes to dispose of it, if I was at the club I would be sending clips into the afl and asking what's with the biased umpiring ?
Bring back the biff

It hadn't occurred to me that he was eligible. He looks so assured on the field it's like he's played 100 games.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Same here. Given the make up of the team, it’s a miracle we’re not a lock for the wooden spoon.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Hard to be negative about that performance, is that the youngest team we have ever put out? Winning in those circumstances really adds to the fabric of the group, so much more than getting rewarded for finishing last does.
Loved how English kept coming at the footy in the last after a dirty day and Bailey Williams is really becoming an important part of our future.
The day belonged to Jack though he was sensational has been all year and displayed leadership qualities that we have been desperately lacking this year.

Paid $150 top up on coterie membership today. Gotta say, copped heat for standing our back of the shit seats I was given (on fence in pocket.) so stood on flank out back of seats and kept getting accoste by local security, asking mate and I to. Clear off.
Complained to Dogs coterie, who explained that they had no influence.
Gotta sort that out. 9k crowd, no wonder.. club need some influence.

It’s why if we can keep touch and get some blokes back we aren’t cooked. Must win next week

The negativity surrounding our position is a funny one. Throughout the game I can be pretty bad, but I usually target it towards personnel I know it's reasonable to expect more from. I'm loving the green shoots I'm seeing across the ground, but despair at some of the things I see from players who should be leading more thoroughly on a week to week basis.
A bit like Slim, I think if we can hang on and put a few wins together with players coming back, a high mid-table 7th to 9th isn't impossible.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.
