Comment other
Would want to see another game of Walters he had no center bounces last week
Tu Gawn to nic Nat?
Rd Or bring in Draper and hold Gawn ?
I think as an essendon supporter, have to back in draper. Bellchambers back this week, but hopefully they just leave him up forward to ‘maybe’ clunk a mark and let Draper take on Soldo.
With the mozzie in the team surely belly smacks fwd packs?
VC option?
TU – Macrae
TD – Oliver
Bont or MaCrae for the VC?
Macca
FYI I went MaCrae. See how we go.
Nathan Jones a late late out with Mitch Hannan.
Very late change Jones out hannan in
LATE CHANGE – Nathan Jones OUT, strained quad, replaced by Mitch Hannan
Game of the round. Here we gooooo!!!
Dunkley into the ruck……..
Will he get DPP next year for ruck at this rate????
Bevo is insane.
That is why I always have doubt on picking Dogs midfielders. Never know what Bevo will do with them

Macrae and Bont will go big again. I should have followed my gut and gone VC Macrae instead of Cripps
I avoided this game for my v/c option because i thought it would be a bunch of low hundreds from the big guns. Macrae is something else.
Satan Oliver as VC over Macrae is not looking great at this stage…
A goal just before half-time is a nice boost to Oliver’s score.
Bailey Smith getting poor TOG and also being scored harshly this week compared to other weeks … only running at 53% DE
Am I seeing things? My POD of Langdon on 63 at half time! Can he actually keep this up and go back to back tonnes!
He has only had 2 games above 90 for the season too. Am I finally being rewarded????
Late to perfection there lol.
I took a big gamble on him Rd 2, because it was going to be a crazy season. Never traded him as there were many others to go before him.
All I hope now is that he can keep it up and not go missing for a full quarter like many other games
Love Libba. He reminds me of playing footy in the bush when I was young.
One of those perpetually hard players who always look knackered but will go and go until the last second, even if you’re copping a flogging.
Also reminds me of the ressies backmen who sit a pie behind the goal post and take a bite when the footy is at the other end, but maybe that’s the mo..
Ahhhh, memories………thanks MTCHL

Take rankins 58
Or
Take a punt on Georgiades
Cheers
Ugh, Petracca, lift man!
Ahhh that’s more of the Langdon I know only scoring 11 points.
I can at least say it was more due to Dogs dominating that quarter and Dees a no show
So much for back to back tonnes……
Finishing the final quarter with 0 disposals and only 5 for the 2nd half. Scored 19 points in the 2nd half after a great start. POD choice didn’t pay off this season 🙁
3/4 time – Bulldogs by 27 points – 10.5.65 to 5.3.38 for the Dees

What are we thinking is a banking score for VC this round, I’ve got McRae as VC I’m going to accept 125+ but hoping for more.
Just not sold on most C options this week.
Macrae looking good for the loop. Would have to finish around 140+ u would think / hope.
There is a well known children’s book called Where’a Wally.
Perhaps Melbourne could bring out their own version called Where’s Angus
I considered Brayshaw but decided against after reading so many coaches warning to avoid, plus I had a backline disaster to patch up.
FULL TIME – Dogs win by 28 points
