Rd 3 vs Western Bulldogs @ Marvel - Match Thread

God bless our defence.

You know it’s a pooey night when Gulden starts missing targets by 20m.

Our boys just look timid and flat footed. Dogs are structured up well and taking our game away from us, but we're contributing to our own demise plenty too. The only "positive" is that the Dogs have kicked 4.10 so the game isn't away from us on the scoreboard.

Weightman just has to look at the ball to get a free. And that's an observation based on many games against other opposition, not just tonight. And application of the HTB rule hasn't noticeably improved. JUH has possession, drops it cold as soon as tackled by Rampe, but because he throws it away from his body the umpire decides Rampe's tackle has lingered, even though it was just one movement.

Yes......he is up there with Toby as the most punchable face in the league. It's sickening what he (and his teammates) receive.

And I had no idea what the Weightman charity goal was for? Landing awkwardly? Nice hair? Managing to look at the umpire in the right way?

Handy start.

[Mark26]

That goal's the tonic. Come on Swans'!

[stevoswan]

We got done for a throw.....sad.

Gutsy mark by Heaney. Classy finish.

[stevoswan]

Back in it....keep it going lads. Heens can't help but hurt himself....hope he's ok.

He's very Dusty like in the forward line.

[Mel]

Heeney is fantastic. He can do it all

[Faunac8]

20-7

[stevoswan]

Seriously, it's sad.....like depressing, how easy the Fairy's get frees. Ruining the game.....over and over and over again.

Now 20 to 7. We are stuck on 7.....for a long time!

However, Bloods spirit has us right back in it.

[i'm-uninformed2]

That kick from Heeney was genius

[dejavoodoo44]

Finally noticed a Bulldogs block. McLean is a very good set shot.

[Mark26]

Good signs of character from our mob to come out after half time and have a crack.
