How did woofers Roughy's game tonight?

I thought he was really good. Best ruck on the ground tonight. His run back to contest against a solo Lions forward in the 2nd quarter saved a goal and I thought he got into good spots around the ground. Between Roughy, Campbell and Boys we've got 3 good options. Unfortunately I think there's only 2 spots in the team at a time for them.

I couldn't believe the dumb umpiring decisions tonight. Not mistakes which can happen but sheer dumb.

example - The push in the back given in the first quarter when clearly there was no push at all

Stringer running towards goal, is tackled, handballs in front of him, but the Brisbane player holds him back from running on to the ball, and the umpire says play on. Just dumb umpiring.

Relieved Suckling's knee isn't the worst case scenario. HB is a dangerous place to be for our boys.

All up another positive night. Best % in the league by a comfortable margin. We've found another one in Toby. Dickson with 18, two goals and typical pressure. TC presented well.

While we're depleted, bring on Friday night

I'll have to look back at the reply and I'm not sure what quarter it was but Dicko getting pinged for holding the ball when he didn't take possession. I thought at the time it was more holding the man and so did Tory.

Re: Game Day Round 5 2016 - Western Bulldogs V Brisbane Lions

Apparently we average having the ball over 115 times more than the opposition per game and last night it was 129.thats massive !
Hope Suckling can play the next two games . We need to win at least one or everyone will say we can't beat the good sides.

Need to do what we have been doing and that is winning in the midfield. Pretty much got them covered around the ground.

I am expecting guys like Stevens and Wallis to step up a notch and help Libba, Macrae, Bonti a bit more.

You got your wish! They were superb.

That was a disgraceful decision. He had barley touched the ball and was tackled. I put it down to the umps trying to even out the ledger.

Ive never been a barrack for Dogs or else type of patent. 3 kids, 2 Lions and a Dog.

I guess you could call it a type of child abuse torturing your kids by making them Dogs fans so much heart break.

Re: Game Day Round 5 2016 - Western Bulldogs V Brisbane Lions

Last nights game had a number of individual highlights from my perspective

- Bontempelli is close to returning to his best. We know how good he is around the midfield but he also looked pretty awesome when lining up at full forward.
- Dickson will be far better for the run and he just adds so much to our forward line.
- I think Stringer has been a bit down the last 2 weeks but I thought last night there was some real positive signs that he is close to being back to his explosive best.
- Morris was sensational last night.
- Tom Campbell and Roughead can be played in the same side. Both were good last night.

The real tests for us start over the next few weeks. With some more improvement we should be up for the challenge.

- Morris was sensational last night.

I gave Morris votes last week as well. I thought he was fantastic against Carlton and continued the good form into last night.

He has taken on the responsibility of marshaling the troops in the backline since Murph went down.

When my Old man came to Australia in 1950, he originally lived in Carlton, but a few years later moved to Footscray and started to follow the club.

I could have been a Blues supporter , if he stayed in Carlton but you know what, I am happy to be Doggies supporter and don't regret it one bit.
