Bankers And Anchors - Round 7, 2017 vs Richmond

What is the Bevo/Chris Scott issue?

He is quite passive aggressive when talking about the Bulldogs on AFL 360, and it's obvious the fawning over Bevo the super coach annoys him. I guess the fact Bevo's never beaten Geelong plays into it.

The only interesting thing of the non paid mark (and non free kick) was the commentary/ramblings of Ling. All year I've heard 'he had enough of it for mine' and 'I've seen worse paid before' and 'they should really be paid'. But on Tom's, it was 'the correct call the umpire' (for at best a slight touch & at best nanoseconds in duration).

Make of it what you will.

The 'he had enough of it for mine' regarding Darcy Moore was a rubbish comment - and Ling is a bulldog hater for sure.
But it was Darcy that said it was the correct call (he actually said "Great Call")...and it was the correct call.

I wonder if Bevo's quite amusing "oh we got lucky because of the bye didn't we" comment in the post game presser was directed at Chris Scott amongst others!

Yeah, I'm sure it was.

Ok, reason I was asking was that I think there was plenty Boyd did that wouldn't be picked up on TV (in the same way that I'm sure players like Dahlhaus could be appreciated more on tv because its easy to miss the players under the packs etc at the ground).

I really rated Boyd's game last night because of his defensive positioning. There were countless times that I thought he made the right decision on which Richmond player to close down - and particularly in the second half - he was instrumental in halting Richmond's ball movement.

In regards to the Dustin Martin play, Easton Wood was most at fault there. Boyd originally competed with Martin in the marking contest and then Wood didn't take the first option to give it back over to Boyd - then he failed to protect the space in front of him so that Boyd could pick up the ball and Martin slid in from behind Boyd. I don't think Wood will enjoy seeing that back in the review.

I'll watch the game back during the week and see how he looked on TV, but I really thought Matt Boyd stood up for us in defence.

There is every chance viewing on the TV biased my pwrception somewhat. That and my already disgruntled feelings of the game for most of the night.
Maybe cooked was too harsh, but there were some passages of his play i didn't think were good enough.

Possibly also extends to the dominance of the Lions during Scott's tenure as a player. Funny all these years later and I still can't stand Alistair Lynch after his disrespectful 'choking' jibe at Scotty West. The sooner we can start a dominance over Geelong the better.

I'm also still a liitle bitter that it was Anthony Hudson calling our brilliant final moments in last year's GF. He's another that has annoyed the hell out of me over many years for giving us no credibility and very little positive air time.

Just a quick one:

Last night was our 11th largest home game crowd ever. Also the 8th largest at Docklands.
Only just pipped by the Hawthorn/Bob Murphy knee game last year as our biggest attendance since Collingwood in 2010 when we were both in the running for the flag.

Handy revenue.

Are we still under the old Etihad agreement? If so, I don't think we get much at all.

Don't mind Hudson as a commentator but he annoys me with his constant reference to "trademark Bulldogs handball".

In what way did Boyd dominate the ruck? Not saying he was bad but If anything our mids were roving to Soldo.

You obviously have not watched the game if you thought Boyd did dominate after 1/4 time.

TV. I'm Brisbane based. No denying he still has great fitness, but he seemed a liability in many situations last nihht. His going to ground in the two on one we had with Dustin Martin late was nearly catastrophic.

the club was hoping Matty Boyd would retire after the GF. The end comes quickly and he is looking extremely slow and the perfect example was when he kicked off the ground in hope when he had time to pick up and usually he would pick up and run off.

That was a woeful moment for Boydy. Showed little respect for his teammates and just wanted someone else to deal with the pressure.

Me too, just don't like the guy.

Last year playing GC, he kept on bagging us and saying we were having a dirty night, then suddenly we slammed on a whole lot of goals and just cantered to a win, but still no positives came from his mouth.

Scott Brothers - must be the coaches with the worse personalities in the AFL

Even so +40k means cash come back our way.

I thought in that deal we effectively cap our losses/gains around 20,000 - 25,000 attendees, so anything over the figure brings us no money. Hence last year Gordo said if you took a heap of our great attendance at Etihad and joined the revenue together, we still may hundreds of thousands more at Cairns in a single game.

Hopefully there's a new deal in place.
