[PaulP]

you just listening to the game, or watching and listening?

Only listening on the radio.

Only listening on the radio.

OK.

They've shown the incident several times....can't really see anything major.

But he is definitely down in the rooms.

Seems to be the ‘Whipping Boys’ night out so far!! McKay, McGovern and Newnes!!

[LoveNavy]

Great start from McG, H, and Newnes. In fact great start Carlton. Hope they can keep this up for full 4q ?
Ed has been super and is my barometer for this game.
Go Blues

[kruddler]

Very solid 1st quarter.

Solid tackling which was rewarded.

Couple of average free kicks for holding the man (both ways) but i think dogs got a goal out of one.

Only Bailey Smith showing any balls for the doggies, but blues are gang tackling.

Eds goal from a free kick was a joint effort between him and Levi.
Dogs are looking over their shoulder and so they should be. We are right on them.

Potentially losing Cripps could hurt us, but we've been pretty good across the ball thus far.

Interesting stat.
We've kicked 32 points in 1 quarter.
Tigers won today kicking a total of 34 points just down the road at the gabba earlier today.

We've done well to convert that much so far.

Cripps apparently back in the huddle with heavy shoulder strapping.

[kruddler]

Unless doggies get something going their way, this could be a thumping.

Dogs are overusing the ball, and letting it slip through their hands.

We are going long and direct and handling the conditions so much better.

Cripps back in the middle getting another clearance....poor kick though.

[PaulP]

Given the R5 result last season, one has to wonder if the Doggies have become our bunny team ?

When was the last time we had one of those ?

Nice goal Martin.

[kruddler]

Martin took a 3-grab screamer on the line....not paid.

Dogs clear.....MArtin run down tackle, spins JJ around 360 AND takes him to ground......play on! WTF?!

Dogs clear again and get a gimme goal all the way down the other end.

BS!

[kruddler]

Willo just got crunched....done his shoulder i think.

Dogs get another goal.
