100% agree with David King here.

“I think the game’s never been more lost than what it is now – no one knows what dissent is, no one knows what holding the ball is, no one knows what protecting...

Still can’t believe the inconsistencies and nonsense that happens at the AFL. For a supposedly well run well operation that they could allow the farcical events of Patrick Cripps to occur is beyond...

He gets off. I can’t believe it. The AFL is a joke.

He chooses to bump. He was never going to win the ball. He knocks him out. He damages the players brain. The player can’t play the following...

McCrae is our equal highest for centre clearances at 54 (with Libba) and is ranked number seven in the league for that stat. The top seven includes Neale, Cripps, Miller and Oliver. For stoppage...

Only way it can happen is if the hit is deemed in play and not careless. I can't see it. However, yes there will be a massive push for him to get off.

Two weeks. Don't know how you can appeal? On what grounds.

Careless - lowest grade

High impact - he knocked him out

High contact - clearly got him in the head, knocked out

We can't use injuries as an excuse https://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/1193554/

Injury list

Anthony Scott (concussion) – test
Ryan Gardner (calf) – test

How does Wayne Carey still have a job in the media?

Who does he appeal to these days? It is definitely not because of his ability to give unique insights into the game or ability to eloquently...

It is not just muscle. It is a mindset. It is how you see the game. It is how you attack the contest and the ball. Naughton in his first year was skinny yet through his body into contests with...

Keath is lumbering at the moment, but when you get caught out on lead with a perfect kick, it is very, very hard to stop. Our inability to defend the ground with any type of intensity created a lot...

It is a great question. Is it the player's innate skill and work ethic or is it our developmental ability? I don't think Lewis ever got a sustained run at it with us. He played 24 games in five...

It was the marking but really the elite kicking that hurt us (four goals from outside 50m). To be fair to Cordy. Most of the marks were on a lead with plenty of space in front of him. Alex Rance at...

Agree. But the next two years are a massive window for us with our best "Franchise" players still in their prime windows. Let's make it count.

Lewis Young on Debut

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DE16FUgUwAMFJMu.jpg

Lewis Young's first game was against Carlton at the MCG. It was a wet game. By memory he wore a long sleeve jumper and took a very nice pack mark. (Round 17, 2017).

So after the GF last year we had Macrae, English, Bailey Smith, Caleb Daniel, Bailey Dale, McLean, Dunkley and JJ all coming out of contract this year. Amazing job to sign Macrae, English, Smith,...

Smith commits his future to the Bulldogs

Exciting youngster Bailey Smith will remain in the red, white and blue for the next two seasons after...

Also watched the presser. Agee, he was angry but respectful. He doesn’t have his head in the sand. He can eloquently diagnose where we lost the game and the elements that hurt us the most. I guess it...

A lot of things went wrong last night. Hardly anything went right and we lost by 17 points. But it did look like we were clearly out coached and they had the superior game plan. Losing both King and...

Every time we even gave a whimper the crowd at Marvel were fantastic with their support. Members played their role today. That performance ain’t going to help our membership for next year, so many...

Win inside 50m, centre clearance, clearances, contested possessions all quite easily and still get done easily.

Even after such a horrific performance it basically comes down to set shots that loses you the game. They took chances, particularly in that first half. That was the ball game in the end.

When we get some momentum. Need someone to stand up and kick a set shot. Zero chance. Miss two regulation shots.

They kick them from everywhere. It is basically the difference in the game. They...

Every time we kick a goal this quarter. They win the centre clearance with ease. Basically walk it out and goal. Who is at that clearance? Our leaders. Speaks volumes.

89 v 130 kicks. When we are winning both clearances and contested possession easily. We simply can’t force a turnover when they get the ball. Need a massive adjustment at HT.

Absolute disgraceful half of football. On our home deck. In front of our very patient fans. No intensity. Can’t defend a basic chip game. Melbourne didn’t let them move the ball last week on a bigger...

7.1 from set shots and they are kicking them from everywhere. Incredible.

Horrific defending. We can’t defend there slow chip boring play.

We can’t defend the turnover to save ourselves. Every single week. It is just far too easy. How we concede five goals on the balance of that match play is mind boggling.

Also … Oliver had 42, Trac 36, Bradshaw 32 and Gawn 31. The four highest possession winners on the ground. Their stars all turned up and played well and they still lost.

Crazy!!!!! Can win any game no matter what happens!

Look at the stat sheet. Can’t believe Pies won. It really is a miracle.

The Bulldogs are the last team so beat the Pies.

This is the most incredible run a team has gone on in all my time watching the game. Just falling across the line every single week.

Wow. What a game!!!

Why is every Collingwood game a nail biter?

Yep. In big games when the heat and pressure was high he always struggled to have an impact with us.

Bruce was definitely there.

Sam calling Dad and Mum. How good. https://twitter.com/westernbulldogs/status/1555048018042560512?s=20&t=yOrGG4PUPY3clraDoZ-51w

Love this. Go Sam!
