hows goddard going?

First disposal was a turnover. About a third of his disposals have been to the bulldogs or his teammates disadvantage.

Bulldogs have a full strength side named and look woeful.

I don't think anyone is not expecting the Dogs to finish in the bottom 4.

I don't think anyone is not expecting the Dogs to finish in the bottom 4.

McCartney came out at the start and said they were going to go hard, hence the squad they named. Granted some of the blokes were playing out of position, they couldn't hit a target, continuously kicked it to bombers players when kicking in or entering 50, and struggled at any kind of clean possession. Says something when Brett Goodes was their best kick for two halves. Against an average manned Essendon side it just shows that Bulldogs might challenge the spoon. Will be interesting how they go against Collingwood now.

Let us know how they fare 

[dwaino]

Doggies hitting more targets with Cross back in. Gian is their leading forward by the looks of it 

Also looks like Swan is playing off the back flank so they're not getting a lot of decent possession forward of centre. Elliot isn't playing too shabby. Witts is huge. And Lynch is looking like an absolute unit.

Swanny must have thought "stuff this, I'm going forward." Roves Lynch's tap from centre wing, runs forward, takes a bounce (actually fumbled it), a few more steps and bangs home a 9 pointer.

Dogs lose both games. We're a little more competitive against Collingwood's E side. Dogs don't have anything that resembles a forward line this year.

Dogs will win the spoon. Posted it in the prediction thread a few weeks ago (coin flip between them and GWS) and tonight I think justifies that choice. They went out near full strength and got beaten easily by 2 sides not trying

Bombers don,t look as sharp as they did the sametime last year .Not sure why.

hows goddard going?

Picked up some cheap pozzies off hbf and was in the guts a few times

[dwaino]

Caddy 1 goal from 1 kick. Rivers probably Geelong's best on ground first half.

[dwaino]

Geelong being completely bent over by West Coast.


Edit: spoke too soon  Geelong kicked several really quick goals, hit the lead and win by two after Selwood kicks a 9 pointer.

[dwaino]

Mayne looks to have copped a serious ankle injury.

Good can't stand that prik and his poofy haircut!

Did West Coke suffocate Freo in another NAB Cup game? Shame they couldn't do it in the 2nd derby last year.
