On paper that was our easiest team for the year. In reality it was our most exciting performance. Exhilarating game to watch.

Damn autocorrect. Should have been "weakest".

Bevo doesn't mind mixing it up does he. Stringer started back and Murphy in the forward line. I thought it got Stringer into the game.

Agree with your observation. Murphy very cool wherever he plays and he creates opportunities. Stringer: barnstorming. He really took the game on and though never quite busting it open he was a real presence when he got forward. Was crucified in the last quarter in that marking contest when he was dragged to the ground by the shoulder when trying to complete the mark. And I liked Redpath too. He has that little bit of mongrel that the more refined refer to as 'controlled aggression' I think we need that at times.

Had a good day at the footy today. Went with my brother who is a Pies fan.

Thought our forward line functioned a lot better today. Liked Crameri game up there today and thought Redpath despite his critics still was a good presence up there. Loved our ball movement today but at times our skill level still lets us down and we play around with it still quite a bit. Murph and Picken are great and are great examples for our youngsters. Loving Caleb Daniel and what he can do. He may be short but gee he gets in there and tries hard.

If we beat the filth nest week, does anyone recall when was the last time we went undefeated against the big 4?

Re: Game Day Round 17 2015 - Western Bulldogs V Collingwood

The big 4 is a myth.
Essendon pull lower crowds than us nowadays,haven't won a final in 12 years ? if Carlton Is still rated big 4 Someone's delusional
Collingwood are 11th and haven't won a game for over a month .

Great day. Thought we were really good today. Sloppy errors and misses allowed Collingwood back, even when they got close I knew we'd get over the line. I had confidence in them to finish it off.

Some real wild cards came to play today. Hunter, Biggs, Prudden and Crameri I thought were very good. All 4 have spent a lot of time at VFL recently and they stepped up when it was needed. Really happy for Lachie, he's been a whipping boy for some time now and good on him for shoving it up a lot of supporters.

Campbell held out pretty well. He's got to clunk some of those marks though. Same goes with Redpath. They get to teh right position but just can't hold them.

Umpires were absolutely deplorable. I'm a pretty subdued fan at the footy now but I can barely speak tonight after some of those decisions. First quarter they were disgusting!

Now onto those Bombres!

I had a look at the replay of the Macrae report. There was nothing in it. The Collingwood player took a dive, a really obvious one.

Weak free, weak 50, weak report, weak umpires.

So a week or 2 off?

For the umps I'd give them a week. Macrae's got nothing to worry about.

Was anyone in the vicinity of the brawl on level one and see what actually happened? Used to happen every second week but is pretty rare these days.

There is a video on one of the Bulldogs facebook pages. I think there is a run down of what happened as well.

Re: Game Day Round 17 2015 - Western Bulldogs V Collingwood

Kudos to Crameri and Hunter for mine. They both needed a really solid performance and added that extra element we needed in which as people said looked like our weakest side for the year. Hunter went for the first option and ran hard all day while Crameri was well Crameri the 2014 version which is a good thing for the most part

Absolutely thrilled to get the win really solid team effort all round.
