@TheSaltyBulldog @MattDonald22 @NickGalea1617 The flaw in our system is that it requires our midfield pressure to stay high. Is there anything we can do to address this mid season? Khamis, Coffield and Busslinger wasn't a defence that inspired much hope, but until our midfield pressure waned they were relatively effective.

@TheSaltyBulldog @MattDonald22 @NickGalea1617 By my calculations, Busslinger, Emmett and Smith the only talls we've drafted over the last 5ish years where our hand wasn't somewhat played for us (i.e. non Father-Sons or NGA). Is it just not a priority?

@TheSaltyBulldog @MattDonald22 @NickGalea1617 As you've talked discussed over the past few weeks: he Hawthorn game was the same as every Hawthorn game over the past few seasons. The Geelong game looked like the Dogs of old, and not in a good way. What was this one? It didn't seem like a capitulation, despite the margin.

@sisson_leigh @MattDonald22 Step back from the actual decision. Matt's original point was about the process, a point I tried to add context to from now another sport does it.

The only controversy in this is the final decision. The process is fine - how many fans would rather the game stand still for several minutes instead? Let the game flow but afford the umpires the safety net of calling back play + time. This kind of flexibility is a good thing.

'ABSOLUTE MADNESS!' 😡 @DavidZita1 breaks down the ARC's controversial decision to award this mark nearly a MINUTE after it was awarded a behind... and it cost West Coast a goal 🫣 #AFLSaintsEagles LIVE >> bit.ly/3OQ7k3A

@sisson_leigh @MattDonald22 What I'm saying is that the union method gives consistency, as everyone knows play will be brought back to correct a call. Hence, "allegiance to the right call above all". The AFL can't decide what to give their allegiance to (aside from ratings) so they're a long way behind.

@Kosdan @MattDonald22 Except there isn’t consistency from the Arc and in this particular instance it was not a clear error by the on ground umpires

Dogs better off resting anyone who needs it and just cop the loss. No point pushing them out there underdone and copping the loss anyway.

Fair to say it’s a star-studded rehab group @westernbulldogs this morning: Bontempelli, Richards, Lobb and English among them. Bontempelli looking sore with right knee heavily strapped, but will be given every chance to prove his fitness. English very unlikely. @9NewsMelb @FootyonNine

@TheSaltyBulldog @MattDonald22 @NickGalea1617 Last year we started the season with a massive injury list and the kids handled themselves well to keep the W/L manageable until the cavalry arrived. This year it's the opposite. Can we look back at R1-5 last season for inspiration? Those kids are now a year older as well...?

@TheSaltyBulldog @MattDonald22 @NickGalea1617 We've heard "Naughton back" until the cows come home, but what about Naughton ruck? Especially when he's getting a bath up top, could we throw him into the ruck? His leap would be great, and he'd get his hands on the ball - and when he does that, he usually makes things happen.

@TheSaltyBulldog @MattDonald22 @NickGalea1617 Not an excuse for the loss, but pertinent: In hindsight, should we have been blooding a young ruck over the last few years? Sweet left (and fair enough) because he was tearing up the VFL and couldn't get a look, even in an "easy game". And now we have no cover for English.

@AntonyGreenElec I'm sure I'm not alone when I say thank you Antony - for years of analysis memories at the ABC and now continuing with things like this off your own bat. To us stats and numbers fanatics out here, you're a national treasure.

The strange case of the upended pendulum. Labor may bask in a big victory at the SA election, but there's a warning for Labor in more detailed analysis. Big swings to Labor in Liberal-held and Labor marginals, but larger swings against in Labor safe seats. Link in next comment.

@DogsBreakfastFC I agree with the Saints as a miss, but out here in the West there's a lot of love for the Ochre guernsey. I'm with you personally but it seems that Dogs fans are not the target market. Big ✅️ with the local fanbase I reckon.

Crows & Dees, ✅ Bombers ✅ did themselves a disservice sticking to their consitution for too long. Port (if they wear black shorts) get a pass mark, but there is a LOT of teal there. Suns, Hawks & Roos ❌ Look like training tops Saints & West Coast ❌ Went for Retro and missed

@TheSaltyBulldog @MattDonald22 @NickGalea1617 Also - we've been lamenting the fact that over the last while, when the Dogs have been given an opportunity to jump into the top 8, the top 4, or in this case top spot, they've usually found a creative way to mess it up. In that light, is there a more Bulldog way to go top?
