Game On! Pies v. Dogs. Updates, all comments.

[Haff]

Nobel having a bit of a mare. Love how he goes about it though. Has a crack. Takes it on. Hasn’t quite hit his targets tonight.

Cameron has been huge though and I reckon IQs best game of the season.

[Meredith1965]

If we get beaten by less than ten goals, Nick Daicos has been the sole reason.

Nah Josh has been good! Moore held up. Been a few big efforts.

Oh, yeah, but they have been worth a few goals each. Nick has been worth ten goals.

[shawthing]

Well done Sully. That time he got the ball to Nick. Goal!

I don't think I remember a game though where we have missed so many handball hit ups.

[Meredith1965]

Imoressed by Sullivan’s game. He is not goong to tear a game apart, but the kid looks like he belongs.

It's very frustrating to dominate the start of the match and then come out flat in the second. The original 50 that led to their opening goal was a bit iffy as was the short kick by Treloar that led to another goal. But it is what it is and we had more behinds than goals again.

The Dogs caught up and now its a slog. I'm just hoping to regain momentum and get the game high lead back (22 points) and build on that.

[Haff]

Moore slipped over there. Not much Dean can do. That dog is having a long break after this one.

[Donny]

Can't ask more then the effort being shown

Shultz killed us
Noble killing us
Johnson wrap in cotton wool and add him to the coaching ranks. Confidence is shot.
Sullivan, Bytel, Markov - dig in ffs one of you has a great quarter we win

[What'sinaname]

Well....

AJ - wont be at Collingwood next year
Schultz - massive momentum vacuum.
Bytel - yeah / nah

HH and JFN - having a mare tonight.

5 players that are in the Bulldogs top 10 on the ground. Noble is the 3rd most effective Bulldog behind Dale and Treloar.

[Haff]

At least we’re paying the best two players in the game… Trelor been good.
See I would take that second qtr. we had a crack and we settled after their dominance.
The first I would not take. We should still be 4-5 up.

Howe, Moore, IQ, Daicos x2, Cameron all been top notch. Sullivan strong enough.

I love Nobes, having a mare tonight. Schultz<Ginnivan. Johnson well we kinda had to pick him but he’s clearly not got it.

Happy to lose the second half by 2 points from here.

[The Black and White Lion]

Love the effort by the pies. Burst out of the blocks, high pressure Q1 as always and then we go to sleep in Q2. Good fightback in the second half of that quarter but the dogs aerial advantage is beginning.

Beautiful first goal from Jaicos.

Would like to see AJ get more aggressive and want the ball. show us your hunting skills AJ!

so much chaos ball. we've turned over a lot to give them goals.

Can somebody please give Noble an injection of kicking to a target. He's getting the ball but his disposal tonight has been awful.

We are going to need to grind out the third and come home hard.

[Jezza]

Noble’s been great this year, but tonight he’s cost us with some bad turnovers.

[Presti35]

How many weeks for Sam Darcy? Ralphy thinks 2.
