The Bulldogs had more disposals, marks, inside 50's, clearances (Demons won the centre clearances 13-11) and won the uncontested possession count by 75 but the Demons win convincingly by 28 points.
The Demons had a disposal efficiency I50 of 50% while the Bulldogs went at just 35% I50.
Jack McCrae with 36 disposals, another 30 plus game but had a disposal efficiency of only 67%. Clayton Oliver had 32 @84%.
Dogs bottom players are horrible, the injuries may catch up with them, Mcneil, Butler, R.Smith, Garcia and Sweet who are not up to it, then they have a group, Bruce, Duryea and Johannisen who will never do anything against the good teams but look good against the bottom 8.
Obviously their top end is outstanding but its your bottom 5 that wins you flags
