Lachie Street out of the game. Ch 7 said 'Tigers are expecting a serious knee injury'   .

Another forward stoppage where no one is protecting the defensive side and the Dogs waltz it out the front up the other end for a goal  .

Bloody schoolboy stuff  .

46 - 61

[one-eyed]

Bumping instead of tackling . Another gift  .

46 - 67
