Finally a coach made Alirr accountable and he couldn't go 3rd up.
They need to make the call on Dixon and move him on. Also finally play rozee as a permanent mid

I didn't find out till recently that Rohan and Hinkley are cousins. What a fun fact!

100%

I couldn’t work out whether they were scared or avoiding injury for ‘next week’

Either way I wouldn’t call it a choke they were completely spooked

In sport, choking under pressure is a negative athletic experience that may have psychologically damaging effects. The media recognizes that choking is a dramatic drop in performance, whereas researchers have labeled choking as any decrease in performance under pressure.

Inexcusable. Bulldogs are smashing us in every aspect of the game.

I hope Melbourne break their drought for Neale Daniher.

In my opinion they need a "reset" not a rebuild

have to phase out Motlop Gray Jonas Boak Dixon ( I have good mail Dixon is gone to GC)

That will leave Rozee Butters Duursma Wines Georgiades etc in their prime in 3/4 years time ready for a serious assault on a prelim loss to Carlton as they go back to back to back and Sam Walsh gets a statue outside the G

Yep reckon this is spot on

Disagree structure and list what you say makes sense but you cant underestimate the effect on the individual and club psyche these types of losses bring; Exhibit A the two losses in for the Dogs in 97 & 98.

Holding all the Aces going into the game Port should be planning a GF fortnight. but they lost it by avoiding the contest and that is nothing to do with the list. That's culture and individual pride in your performance.

Results like last night can take years to recover from. Laird posed this question on Glenelg after the 2009 season.
