Bulldogs are resting Wallis, Tom Boyd & Liam Picken today. Because now it's obvious that we're not taking this match seriously.

We're playing three ruckmen, why would we even consider this? Guys, you'd tell me if we were actually still in 2014 right? Testekill fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Mar 14, 2015 |

Just tuned in, this is Craig Hutchinson commentating no? He's awful. The gruff older bloke who hates him is the perfect pairing.

Hey there's a Bogonia festival on guys Oh yeah that sounds great *Bulldogs wrestle free a clearance, big long bomb into the forward line* Yeah they got 60,000 people in for it *Lumumba takes a mark* Wow! 60,000! That's impressive

2 goals is a pretty piss poor return for how much we controlled that. Keeping bulldogs to a point with the wind would be impressive if they weren't resting 80% of their starters. Hopefully they look at the last goal and work out that even if we don't mark it, kicking into the fifty fast gives the smalls we actually have now a chance at crumbing

I wish that someone would pass a message to the commenators that we are missing Wallis, Hunter, Macrae, Stevens, Roughead, Murphy, Boyd, Crameri, Hrovat, Dahlaus and have an average age of 21. Like I'm not trying to be a Richmond supporter here but they're pretty ignorant about how weak of a side we're playing.

Not having commentary and having a basic understanding of the game and sides selected is magical a++ would recommend. Also getting to know some of the new boys by their faces. It's nice they have Gawn #11 to expunge the stink from it.

The Deadly Hume posted:Having piked out of going to the game, I'm sort of glad it's not much of a contest. Kind of thought it'd be the other way around, though, even with it being preseason and all. It's a near full strength Tigers versus Port under 18s. Kern has been alternating lying back on the boundary line working on his tan and wandering up to the coaches box to have a gab to the commentators. Apparently he gave his assitant the reigns and will probably crack a tinny in the next 5 minutes.

Scraped out a win with a gale force wind behind us in the last quarter against the footscray under 10s. Impressive Melbourne

Someone posted the stats from todays match in Ballarat and it's pretty nuts to look at. Despite having nearly 165 more possessions, Melbourne lost the clearances & inside 50 count and just barely won the contested possessions. Only place where Melbourne comprehensively beat us was in the ruck

My take on today's game now that I'm back from Ballarat I may finally be on the verge of admitting that Chris Dawes is a poo poo footballer I loving hate Mitch Clark, I hate his loving guts, I will hate him now and forever Hogan looks good for someone who still hasn't played a league game. Grimes and Mcdonald were both above 90% disposal efficiency, if they continue that they've taken care of their main weakness. Lumumba + Salem is a pretty good combo coming off half back Toumpas may come good yet Sam Frost is a great pickup for us. Jeff Garlett coming and Kennedy Harris potentially coming good at the same time is pretty exciting. A forward line centred around Hogan, with Pederson at CHF, Kennedy-Harris, Garlett, Kent and Howe could actually be half decent. Matt Jones, Jordie Mckenzie: please. stop. We actually look dangerous when we put it inside 50 quickly. gently caress Mitch Clark. I think we should improve on last year mainly because the guys we are adding all look like they're going to do well: Lumumba, Garlett, Frost, Hogan, Vandenburg, Newton have all shown a fair bit in at least one of the 2 pre-season games, and Brayshaw apparently went pretty well for Casey. That should mean dudes like Matt Jones and Mckenzie are being edged out of the team which will help immensely. If only we had a dominant second forward to edge Dawes out of the team. If only. gently caress you Mitch Bontampelli is still loving ridiculous. Still don't know how we managed to almost turn a 60-8 lead into a loss with a strong wind in the last quarter against what could favourably be described as the Bulldogs 2nds. edit: wait yes I do, it's because we're Melbourne

also the possession count just shows you how meaningless stats are without watching the game because it was manufactured mostly from paralysis going forward.

This thread will be fun when Mitch Clark kicks 10 goals against the Dees in round 12.

As long as you tell them it's preseason-doesn't-count-melbourneareshit football and not The Real Thing you should be right. Honestly, I'm not looking at anything as too concerning until Richmond choke in the 4th quarter against Carlton in a few weeks time.
