Western Bulldogs v Fremantle, Round 7

[Bradesmaen]

Haha pretty sure he kept finding the ball. The failure to pay an obvious htb free to Doggies 10 metres out with a few minutes to go, was pretty fortunate for you if you want to talk about luck. Freo probably deserved the win but need to be a bit more convincing I would have thought.

The failure to pay a free kick to Taberner that resulted in a Dickson goal?

As for the ball finding him, the kick by Stringer sailed over Dalhaus (the intended target) and Dickson came in at the last moment, right man in the right spot. Next week he won't even kick one.

Terrific game. Dickson 7, Pavlich 5, Fyfe on report, Fyfe another 3 votes, Fremantle another fade-out, Fremantle another win, Dogs bounce back after last week. A lot of talking points to come out of this game!

Wouldn't call that a fade out? I'd say just a good challenge from a good team!

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Good. Now you know what every other team has to deal with in Perth.

Thing is that it should have been more, so many times they get held with the ball after looking to dish off and it spills and no dropping the ball free kick...The Gazza treatment

 

[Bradesmaen]

You guys won - your game changer was the free not paid, the bullies poor kicking at the end, and that great mark and goal to seal it.

It changed the game, it brought it closer to the point where the Bulldogs drew level. That is game changing. Had it have been paid, he may have kicked the goal or set something up, which would have stopped the momentum.

Perhaps a poor choice of words, but it's another week where you've come out of the blocks and not put in a 4 quarter performance.

I personally don't see the problem with it, but it will definitely continue to be a talking point within the media.

 

[Freoforever86]

They owed us more. Got a few 'top 4' no-calls your way.

Yeah you guys just got everything else.
Apart from that, was a great game. Dogs impressive this year

Haha -A charitable attitude like yours will take you far.

Foxtel is out cos of bad weather and 7 cut the song off. Thanks gaiz

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Hah, nice troll. Seriously it has to be or you aren't watching the same game as nearly everyone in this thread.

Seen a lot here saying the Dockers are getting away with holding the ball free kicks too.

Everyone was. Both teams had many dropping the ball moments.

There were about 6 head high free kicks to the dogs that involved contact that was more romantic than aggressive. It was appalling.

Thanks Ch 7 for going to an ad break in the middle of the song.

Our foxtel was jolting around a bit today during the game-did you get that?

What about the game changing man handling of Taberner then landing in his back, goes up the other end and Dickson kicks a goal...

Taberner should have held the mark, it bounced off his chest.

Ross Lyon's game plan can be pretty taxing, St Kilda often slowed up in the last quarters when he coached us.

Just look at the 2009 GF when we were all over Geelong in the first half but then couldn't score in the last quarter after running out of legs.

The saints tears in this thread are delicious

No tears from me, I tipped Freo but it would have been nice to see the Bulldogs pull off an upset.

Get the ball first and you too can get the gazza treatment

Good fight back by the dogs. Didn't watch the comeback by the Aints last week, but any particular reason for the fade out?

The Sydney game in the wet...

 

[Jeeves]

46 inside 50's, smashed in contested possessions and hit outs as well as overall disposals. They had a fair bit of luck. 14.4 too, not often a team kicks that straight. Tory Dickson will never have a luckier match, ball just kept finding him.

Gracious in victory!

Easton Wood is a gun.

Was wanting to know what the person was smoking that mentioned him...lol

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

The Bulldogs are brittle.

Wow a win against them and the gloats and barbs come out...lol

Very impressed with your mob today. Very bright future at the Doggies.
