An 8 point loss - game and percentage we'll have to try and make up for the rest of the year :banghead
Didn't think we'd win, but total capitulation by the team. Can't blame the forwards (limited opportunities)- the backline tried - our midfield is stuffed and the Dogs showed us up. The Saints in true fashion will annihalate us next week.
Glad i stayed at home :thumbsup

How did your boy go Moi?
-
well , all i can say is thank god im in italy. a performance like that is unacceptable!
thanx wp for the sms,s !!!
lets hope it a round one hiccup like last yr, but the signs dont look good, seems like from afar, that the doggies had too much pace 4 us.
-
He got a vote off me, Julz - but i'm a touch biased lol
He got a bit of it and Murphy didn't destroy us as much as the others.
Did a couple of silly things, but he wasn't our worst player. Liked his run out of the back a couple of times, and he hit targets. A couple of turnovers, a head high tackle on Murphy was stupd, but was not disgraced.
Was on the ground all night i think which was good.
-
X, they had too much pace, skill, determination, desparation and anything else Ron Barassi ever mentioned in that famous speech of his. They beat us everywhere.
-
Spoke to Raines as i was leaving the Lounge Room, poor bloke was shattered.
He did ok tonight and was one player who really tried hard. He didnt have many friends.
-
Positives - it was a good return from Browny.
Didn't get a goal, but he was getting a lot of the ball in the first half.
Pat Bowden was probably our best player in the first half and maybe overall. Not great, but he tried where others didn't.
Negatives - too many missing players:
Cogs, Tambo, Gasper, Johnson i hardly saw in the first half, Schulz (although didn't get down there much) etc etc etc etc.
-
Just LMAO
-
X, it was all Krapouer's fault.
-
What made it a really bad night tonight was that creep Lyon almost barracking for the Dogs to massacre us.
God, if i ever meet that hole :wallywink

Just for the record ... >:(
Tigers outplayed by Bulldogs

The Tigers have endured a rude awakening to the 2006 home and away season, suffering a record loss to the rampant Western Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs prevailed by 115 points in the match at Telstra Dome on Friday night, their victory set up by a cyclonic third-quarter goal surge where they scored nine goals to one.
The Tigers were unable to stop the surge in the final term as their opponents added a further seven goals to one.
The Dogs had a litany of goal scorers - 12 in total, with Brad Johnson kicking five.
The Tigers, on the other hand, had just four contributors. Troy Simmonds with three, two to Brett Deledio and one each to Patrick Bowden and Kane Johnson.
Shane Tuck picked up 25 disposals for the Tigers, Joel Bowden 14 and Johnson 23. Matthew Richardson hauled in nine marks, most of them while helping out in defence.
After trailing by 20 points at the first change and 29 at half-time, the Tigers were overwhelmed in the second half.
In a frenzied quarter of football, the home side broke the Tigers booting eight goals in 19 minutes.
The Dogs jumped to a 59-point lead with five goals in nine minutes, from five different goal-kickers.
Tigers skipper Johnson eased the squeeze after 23 minutes, kicking their solitary major for the quarter.
Murphy kicked his second for the term at the 27-minute-mark, stretching the three-quarter-time lead to an ominous 79 points.
The third quarter stats were telling. Western Bulldogs won the total clearances 17-4, centre clearances 9-2.
West, the seven-time best and fairest winner, had six kicks and five handballs and was instrumental in constructing those clearances.
The Dogs were too quick, too polished and just too good in every aspect of the match.
The opener was played at a fierce pace, with both teams embracing the AFL's new rule changes. The ball was in constant motion and moving from end to end.
The first kick of the match was a goal - from Richmond ruckman Troy Simmonds.
A centre-bounce indiscretion, and subsequent 50m penalty, brought the bigman to the 50m line and he threaded the ball when the game was just 30 seconds old.
But then the Dogs took charge and kicked five of the next six goals.
The Tigers could count themselves lucky, when Simmonds chimed in for his - and his team's - second through another generous free kick.
Subsequent goals to Cross and Eagleton were punctuated by a goal to Patrick Bowden, playing his first game against his old club.
It was the Bulldogs' biggest victory against the Tigers, surpassing the 78-point win in 1989.

Exclusive to afl.com.au
The Western Bulldogs kicked off their 2006 season on the same winning note as they left their previous with a dramatic 115-point thrashing of Richmond at Telstra Dome.
The Dogs absolutely demoralised the Tigers with a cyclonic third-quarter goal surge where they scored nine goals to one.
etc etc

Absolutely disgraceful >:(.
I wasn't expecting us to win but what a frigging undisciplined p-weak effort after half-time, 17 goals to 2.
It's ok to be not good enough and beaten by a better side (Doggies were awesome tonight) but except for 4-5 guys we just gave up and it became a training drill for the doggies. Too many passengers ballwatching expecting a teammate to win the ball. There is no excuse for not doing the basics. Where was the support, the running to receive, the manning up and the chasing .. where was obeying the gameplan :banghead.
What did Wallace say last year after the Geelong game - we might as well spent all summer at the beach :banghead. As for our skill level and decision making :help.
-
Positive - Andrew Raines on Murphy.
Biggest positive - no injuries. (I was dreading it in the last quarter - I was numb about our play by then).
-
Thank goodness for that FF. I was hoping at 3/4 time we'd take Lids off. We've had a habit of losing our best players late on in flogging a la Browny last year.
Just had a look at the stats - 54 less kicks and 20 more handballs. After half time - 50 less kicks and 4 more handballs. The doggies also had 23 more marks in the last quarter. The only stat we won was believe it not tackles.
-
X, it was all Krapouer's fault.
Time to stop waiting for him to become like his old man - stuff him off week idiot
-
shattered! I'm trying not to be too down about it but, damn it's hard :banghead. Dont want to go to work Monday as I'll be the laughing stock, AGAIN!!!! And I've promised 2 young Saints supporters I'd go with them next week! :scream :help

Positves:
* the jumper numbers were great meant I was yelling at the right blokes
* Andrew Raines was very good on Murphy - especially considering how easily the ball was coming into their Fwd 50
* Nathan Foley - his kicking needs alot of work (but hey after last nights effort who's doesn't :help) but at least he gave us something when he was in the centre
That's it for now
Negatives:
* Oh so many
* Pace or lack of it
* the lack of help/support our players give their team mates - how many times do we have to see blokes just standing back not doing anything instead of going i and supporting their teammates :banghead :banghead Gotta say that really ticks me off
* Skills - what skills :lol
* Decision making - :banghead :'( :'( :banghead
