Why aren't the commentators completely sucking our dicks?

I mean, right on their knees, and holding a bottle of water just in case.

Very nice feeling knowing I’m going home to watch replay. Who played well? How did Buss go? And the young ‘uns?

[angelopetraglia]

You can’t ask for much more than that. Smashed them in clearances. Put them to the sword in the Premiership quarter.

Outstanding.

Have to have an early night, so will post tomorrow afternoon, once my son's footy match is done.
What a great result though. I'm really impressed with the growth of the club so far this year. They look a lot more confident, and trusting in each other and their abilities and the game plan. Gotta give some love to the coach; he's really got this group buying into and crucially executing the team plan.

Bus played ok for a debut, did some nice things. Fridge was fantastic and one of the best on ground, Dolan quiet, but ran and pressured a lot. Harmesy 4 goals in first half and Kennedy really good. Bont rested in the last after 22 disposals. Lobb went forward after quarter time and the game changed. He didn't get a lot of the ball, but made sure the ball hit the ground.

Brilliant win especially with such a young backline. The mid field were weapons.

[Mofra]

Played a bunch of kids and subbed off Bont, have to take that.
Got a game into Buss and JOD did all he could against Hogan.

Is Bont ok as in not injured?

[Grantysghost]

Bucks is the most insightful and balanced media performer in a long time.

He is very good

[azabob]

Is Bont ok as in not injured?

Honestly I don’t know. He was subbed at three quarter time.

We won’t know until he runs out against port.

He had a higher TOG tonight than last week. Sounded like it was just minutes, he was fine after the game.

[Eastdog]

Strong win. Really good contribution from the whole team. We won that game in the 3rd quarter 5 goals to Nil.

We put there defence under siege tonight and we were just way better at the coalface.

Bont doing Bont things (nice to have the luxury to sub him out at the end), Libba great, Freijah great, West doing great things, Kennedy has been the pick up of the season.

Impressed with how Buss went tonight on his debut. Did some good things and I reckon we persist with him next week.

4-3 is a good win/loss ratio and in the 8 considering our injury struggles.

Go the Mighty Bulldogs!!

[Grantysghost]

How's the courage of the coaches in that game.

We started with the same tactic as last week with the slow transition short kick game but the Giants were just sweating on it and scored from back half at will.
Then, with a first gamer in the key defensive post they move Lobb forward which drags a tall out (Himmelberg) and it appeared we went the get it in fast, lock it in approach with a half forward up to the stoppage (not sure if that was there first q).

Bevo is coaching magnificently, and the players are responding.

Best win for ages. That's 8 from 9 against the Giants

Yes 70 percent tog last week 80 tonight

Managed is the word.

Do you think this is the tactic to shock the opposition into thinking that is our game plan ie the first quarter short kicking
