Lobb shines as Dogs thrash Cats at pork barrel stadium 95-48

[cleveland]

What a night down at pussycat park. Sat behind the cheersquad and was so proud of the boys. Played enormous.

Loved the Lobb chant

Time to put your hand up and accept that you were wrong if you thought this isn’t a top four list.

Time to put your hand up also if you kept wanting to sack Bevo

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Great win. If there is 2 teams I want to beat it blues and cats and we done it 2 weeks in row. For years I supported Bevo but lost faith last season after the WCE lost last season and waivered if he should stay and go. Now have I got the faith back again even though we still have a lot of work to do to play finals. Not sure if it has been mentioned have not read all of the posts but a shout out to Jobe Watson tipping us to do a 2016.

Absolutely, all supporters think they know better than the coaching staff

Never used to be that bad….

Used to be worse in the 70s, was even referred to in the media as a "cow paddock". I remember rocking up to the start of a reserves game in that era, and before they'd even bounced the ball (at 11am) there were chopped up clumps of grass and soil all over it. By the end of the senior game, was barely a blade of grass visible.

 

[grassman75]

Can't argue with that win, and 2 in a row at Kardinia Park at that.

Is Caleb Daniel injured/unavailable or just not selected?

Not selected. Too slow for the current game plan in IMO. Now on the fringe

That was awesome to watch. Especially in those conditions! Made them look like they didn’t want to be there. I think that was my favourite game to watch over the last couple of years. Complete performance and everyone had an impact and put in the effort. Was impressed with how clean we were with the ball. Although every bounce and dribble did seem to go our way for once!

 

[grassman75]

What a win. Lobb was BOG, the most complete performance by a defender in the entire league this year. The Lobby chants were great.

One of those nights where every single bounce and dump kick ended up in our players hands, it was fantastic. In reality they kicked two of their 7 from a 50m penalty and a Dempsey dive, we really could smacked them by 80.

Side note, ridiculous there are no ramps to walk up the upper levels behind both sets of goals. Just slippery concrete steps.

Well you do know the guy who gave them the money for the stand likes slippery steps….

 

[grassman75]

Golf and beer. God you're boring

You need to have a chat to Darcy Moores missus and get that knocked out of you

 

[grassman75]

What a wonderful thing to have defenders that mark the ball, instead of that mindless spoil that can go anywhere.
( remember those )

That back six right now , even without Jones , is a great mix.

Who would have thought this at the start of the year ?

Big big fan of Bramble , great recruiting.

No place for a Gardener even on that paddock King

 

[Libbaaaa]

Also Jamarra seems to have found the penetration on his kicking again. Is clearing 50m with ease again.

Darcy is such a weapon in all phases of the game. For bean pole looking kid he is so strong.

 

[Dog 36]

How glad am I to be so so wrong about this game.
Happy to eat humble pie in fact lots of it

Never underestimate a team with a Libbberrrrrrr in it

Off to eat my pie and gladly

Ps please ignore my post in game day thread before the game

Big big fan of Bramble , great recruiting.

a few of his kicks were out of the Bailey Dale book, been a great addition.

From the first bounce the desire and pressure from this team was awesome.

 

[Johnny_Dogg4]

are the dogs the best wet weather team in the AFL? i knew we'd win if it was raining

 

[Dogs Rule]

All this top 4 list stuff we're all sounding a bit Kornes here.

However, unlike Kornes, we're saying it because we actually want the best for the club and not to drive our own personal agendas after a bad loss.

 

[Doggy]

I think that SDK being basically a clone of him means that English was able to play his natural game instead of having someone just bodylining him at every ruck contest.

Grundy next week .. . Hopefully Gawn is still out the week after

 

[CarnTheScray]

VDM burning Richards on the wing was the final straw

He is the only one I’d consider droppable after that performance.

 

[CarnTheScray]

It wasn’t….its needed the influx of youth and for the recruited players to find their way in our systems.

It’s getting there….a top 4 list doesn’t get pantsed by Port and Brisbane

Sydney lost to the wooden spooners. Are they not a top 4 list.

 

[adogsfan5]

That Bramble moment.. well done son.

 

[Vdubs]

On a more serious note, in years past no matter how well we have played we have struggled against top 4 sides. We have just gone back to back with a chance to make it a triple next week. This is the stat that gets me excited for this year and the future, does so much for the teams mental strength.

Congratulations to your team. Was worried pregame after your beating of the Blues, and have felt your list is worthy of top 4. Now, completely convinced. That sort of form will worry every team, and Lobb and Buku in defence are revelations. Darcy is scarily good, JUH as well. Enviable talent all over the ground. Swans, Lions, Blues, Dogs, Freo should fight it out this season.

Time to put your hand up also if you kept wanting to sack Bevo

We're still 9th...

 

[Dazb86]

Lobb and Buku were huge.

Great team effort.

The last 2 weeks Bont has been below his best and we've still looked great. Really good signs.

 

[Testekill]

Grundy next week .. . Hopefully Gawn is still out the week after

Grundy does historically play well against us so he's going to have to go into overdrive around the ground to match his output.

 

[Dazb86]

I actually think the SCG suits us. We have tall targets up forward and a good midfield. Just need to win the centre clearances.

 

[Scotch N Coke Monatore]

I actually think you'll find the Bulldogs own the Government of Australia. So only expect Marvel and Whitten oval drainage

Howard's handball looks more convincing than any of De Koning's

 

[Testekill]

I want to say that I was baffled why we extended Bramble's contract so early when he was giving away multiple easy goals from miskicks but I will put my hand up and say that I was too harsh on him, he has been killing it when he's rebounding aggressively and he & Freijah have left Richards be freed up to play really well in the midfield.
