Great effort, injuries lost us the game we were the better side.

Skills wise not

 

[MagpieJoel]

We did everything we could to lose this game

Yeah like get injuries. How silly of us.

 

[wicksy]

Most frustrating f@&*- game I've ever seen.... There is not one reason that the dogs deserved to win this.... Not one!!

Head ducking w@nk3rs the lot of them!!

 

[GreekLunatic]

The bullies are crap away from Etihad

 

[DinoSoar]

Disappointing end to the game but there's been a lot to like from the Pies today.

 

[ColinMochrie]

Guys...we have no bench. The first thing to go with fatigue is skills.

The way some people are laying into players when they legitimately cannot stop running and rest is crazy.

We lost because of the injuries. If we had a bench we would be able to keep up the pressure and we would have won.

 

[Wackajack]

We would have won comfortably but in the space of one quarter we have had 4 injuries and u cant win when your players can't get a rest

 

[PieBeast]

Pendles has fallen to pieces this quarter.

 

[Rusty Beam]

For someone who is supposedly a good kick, Maynard is a very bad kick.

 

[wicksy]

just bitterly disappointing. We had the capacity to win this one and we blew it away with poor composure and poor selection. Need to learn and move on.

What? Poor selection? How about the missed goals and 4 injuries to key players?!

Of course it's Buckley's fault though. My God!

 

[partypie]

Ahh well that's all she wrote - Pendles and Treloar look like they are out on their feet now along with the rest of the team.

Still proud of our boys today - the bulldogs have only gotten on top due to our injuries or we would have had them.

Both sides have had poor skills because the intensity. We were the better side.

that happens more when you're tired..... cant hang them with no bench.

 

[Quicky]

Where the **** were Reid and Frost? FMD!

 

[Bad Horse]

So how bad are the injuries is all that remains to know. We were coming into a block of more winnable games, of course, typical. We really have had the most obscene injury run over the last 5 seasons. It is ****ing comical. I'm just about over it, its sapped any joy frankly for me, I just cringe at every contest waiting to see who has gone down now, and as for final training for the week, it's like Napoleons retreat from Moscow.

 

[Shaneprice97]

Unfortunate that we lose this one because of injuries. Bulldogs only doing what any team would against a team without a bench.

 

[SpongePie]

****ing **** ****.

Should have put them away earlier when we dominated. Didn't take out chances.

 

[Jonno94]

The game should have been over at half time despite injuries. Our forward 50 entries were woeful all day.

 

[Bad Horse]

that happens more when you're tired..... cant hang them with no bench.

The poor composure that cost us was in the first half when we still had some shot. We needed to nail it then so we had a buffer now.

 

[PieBeast]

Pretty good effort by the boys overall, something to work with for sure.

Carlton managed

 

[boxy99]

No.

Yes

 

[ksardog]

Although the game is lost, been a great effort and good to see the younger players are hurting ie maynard and smith from it.

Shows they arnt content with just getting a game and expect and want to succeed.
Bodes well for the future.

 

[ColinWood]

It really bites to see the Dogs cement this late lead and take the 4 points. They paid well but I honestly think we played better before the injuries. What a cruel turn of fate, however given Dogs have been cruelled by injuries this season I guess there could be worse beneficiaries.

I'll try and focus on the positives - we played well for 3 qtrs, need to work on conversion but pressure was great.
