NAB Challenge Game 2 v Melbourne, 6 March 2016 at Craigieburn

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Fourth Q observations:

-Delivery to the forward line hasn't been great all day but the conditions haven't helped
- Our back half has held up quite well considering how undermanned it is, good signs
- Younger players definitely look tired, some poor disposal and bad decision making creeping in
- Just haven't been able to get our hands on the ball to slow down the tempo

WESTERN Bulldogs rookie Luke Goetz will fight his fine from the Match Review Panel for pushing Melbourne defender Colin Garland over the fence.

The ruckman, who only played a small amount of game time in Sunday's NAB Challenge clash with the Dees, was offered a $1000 fine for an early guilty plea over the incident.


The MRP classified his shove on Garland as a misconduct offence, attracting a $1500 fine.


Goetz now faces paying the higher fine if his challenge is unsuccessful.

Should just take it on the chin. Did a stupid thing and copped a right punishment for it. He should be thankful he didn't serious hurt the fellow he pushed. Not the type of thing I like seeing our players do.

Lost the appeal and now pays a $1500 fine. Baffling decision to appeal.....who's advising him?

Would love to know what the rotation qty was for each side.
Almost gurantee we had half the amount of the Chalet Demons whilst still fielding one less player during the game.
Same happeed against GWSucks with us having two less players through rotations.
Think we're in pretty good shape.

I think we had about 102 and they had 94 or something like that. I reckon I read it on melbournes bigfooty page.

I was quoted that we had 88 and they were more in the 130 range, but I don't really know.
