Game Day Bevo's Dogs V Fly's Pies Marvel 7.50 tonight

[ExRoyboy]

Didn’t take our chances and they did….. have to convert when you have the opportunity. Marra missed too many, Bont missed two easy chances, then the ones earlier as well.

Umpiring doesn’t help but Collingwood have been much better that quarter and took their chances. The forward handball is killing us

 

[hutchy31]

I can’t believe how poor our senior players are when faced with a good team getting on top. They just submit and allow quarters like that with six goals, and then at the other end we can’t hit a barn door from three yards.

It’s exhausting to watch.

 

[The Inbetweener]

English just can’t be considered an AA ruckman after this. Absolutely smashed at clearances

 

[doggiesin08]

42 point swing since 28 minute mark of the 2nd quarter

 

[Gift]

Pretty sure AFL gave a call to the umps to let the pies win for Pendles record.

Every tackle by Collingwood is holding the ball. When Dogs tackle, umps actually make an excuse why its not holding the ball out loud. Its hilarious

 

[Lee]

Can’t play 4 qtrs, can’t defend transition footy. Can’t kick, typical bulldogs footy.

 

[ReservoirDog]

It was a bad miss by Bont as well, just when we really need a goal.

 

[tonzdogs]

Outcoached again. Just pi’ss off Luke

 

[Walsh Bay]

Tall Tim has made great progress this year.

But he has got to stand up and have an influence in big games.

No answers from the players or the coach.

I’m sure the rhetoric “we’ll learn from it” Bevo response will surface in the post match conference.

Lots of players out there with minimal impact

 

[iambrilliant]

I hope we have a crack in this last quarter

[Jeff 1975]

I would have to say the umps are making sure of this one

 

[King Harold]

Pies too good
But a dream run from umpires that quarter

 

[Freshwater]

Very tough quarter with both Collingwood and umpires. We can’t win flag this year. There can be no ‘getting on a run’ in finals. We might win one? Get Cleary, Garcia, Raak etc in the team for rest of year. Dureay, McNeill, Hannan, McComb, won’t be in our next premiership team.

 

[Doggies_13]

Had we taken our chances it would be a goal or two game.

We are just in that zone below the best teams unfortunately.

Yeah been a couple terrible decisions that quarter but we just weren’t at the standard of the first half

 

[mattwa]

Play Darcy and the Buss. Draft mids we aren't far off it we have the talent. Too slow atm

 

[ossie_21]

Oh well, it was good whilst it lasted. That was a 3rd quarter reaming. 8 goal swing and it is probably getting worse as we have stopped

 

[Bulldog in Kiev]

Bald ump helped the pies a few times that qtr, but the lack of fight in some of our players when chips are down is pretty clear.
We just don’t have the desperation and will required to be the team that can beat the best.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Bailey Smith, one tackle. Drop or delist.

Time for a spell in the VFL

I can’t believe how poor our senior players are when faced with a good team getting on top. They just submit and allow quarters like that with six goals, and then at the other end we can’t hit a barn door from three yards.

It’s exhausting to watch.

Bevo just tells them to play one way. Win contested ball, bomb it long, hope we score. Push all our half backs up, good teams then score out the back with counter play. Its school level coaching. Our senior players cant do much if thats the way we play.

 

[ringa5]

If Bont had of nailed that goal!
Seems the whole side rides his form in bigger games

 

[ExRoyboy]

There have been so many holding/dropping the ball/throwing decisions not paid against Collingwood it’s been ridiculous what they get away with, plus they are scragging a lot and allowed to do that also, yet if we lay a hand on them it’s a free kick.

The discrepancy in how the game has been umpired has been terrible. Notwithstanding that, Collingwood have been the better team, particularly that quarter, but if we take our chances we are only one or two goals down, so we have ourselves to blame also.

 

[W W Biscuit]

Collingwood are a good team and, failing an unlikely victory from us, I would much rather them win the flag than any other contender. Who else is there? Melbourne? Brisbane? Give me a break. I hope Collingwood crap all over them.

 

[Bulldogs85]

Bald ump helped the pies a few times that qtr, but the lack of fight in some of our players when chips are down is pretty clear.
