Include the Pies' injured mid fielders and they win. .

Do we get to include our injured players in this scenario?

As a matter of interest when was the last time a player kicked the first two goals of the season like Hunter did?

Maybe John Georgiades in 1989? The only one I think I can remember for sure is Beasley in 1984.

Similar call to JJ deliberate last night. Reckon that is a harsh decision when the guy is trying to keep possession and use foot speed to gather.

JJ was further back from the boundary and IIRC it just went over the line as he went to pick it up.

McDonald-Tipungwuti was closer and kicked it way over the line so I thought it was absolutely deliberate.

Exactly. If we'd played badly they would have kicked our arse. But we didn't play badly and we weren't going to lose to anyone on Friday night.

That's right. We played well too and if we hadn't it could have been a different story but we didn't and that went a long way to us getting up.

Collingwood never looked like winning.

Agreed I was comfortable 98% of the time.

Generally if a game is close we deliver and get over the line. I'm quietly confident in most close matches now, which is a nice feeling.

QUADCALL Travis Cloke first goal as a Bulldog

Just on that topic, Lachie's 3rd goal at the city end during the 3rd qtr was as a result of an incorrect disposal free kick. Watching the replay it was Bont and Crameri that laid the tackle, Hunter was about 5 metres away. Not sure how the Umpire figured it was his free kick.

Hunter loves the footy, I'm pretty sure he claimed one against Gold Coast. At Metricon. When the Bulldogs were training in Melbourne. During our bye.

He's one of those rare ones who's ability fits his desire to do things in the field. The boy loves a goal and doesn't mind accepting the responsibility for taking a shot. Or having a ping.

Wasn't it throughout 2015-2016 (early) that we lamented his unwillingness to hit the scoreboard?

It's a big turnaround. A goal or so a game makes him elite.

We could have not scored from half way though the 3rd quarter and we'd have still won.

My son said that they will keep coming but were about a goal and a half too far in front. At 3/4 time.

I used to play footy with a bloke who would sprint 50 metres to try claim a out of bounds on the full free. Lachie didn't run 50 metres but he pinched one off Crammers. Definitely rascalish.

How did everyone rate Clokes game?

He was good, always an aerial threat and the long goal early got us going
