W.Bulldogs    9.3    12.5-77

At least we were competitive that quarter. 

[PoppyTige]

Let me get this straight... the Dogs are allowed to throw the ball rather than handballing it, yeah? 😔

[The Machine]

Bloody hell we are uncompetitive and garbage, but… what I can’t stand are the cheap cheap and virtually non-existent free kicks that get paid against us (always seem to be paid 20m in front of goal) and the blindingly obvious frees that don’t get paid to us.

Pickett definitely gets umpired differently to the rest. Jack never gets those frees that headband wanker got.

[Buddysucks]

If we got paid the exact same frees we give away we’d lead the free kick ladder by a mile.

Daniels tries to fend off the tackle = no free  .

Nank whacked across the neck in the ruck by English and no free  .

We are playing mostly kids tonight.

The difference in clean skills tonight especially by hand has been stark  .

[lamington]

If we do somehow win the last 3 are we still mathematically out of the 8?

The lack of leadership is numbing
