Mate, we don;t need to loo, there were no highlights for Dogs fans.

Yep... we're going no where this year. Utter shit!

 

[God-King Dean]

Getting the players to run around while the Tigers rested was utter madness.

The under 8's don't even fall for that routine. What was Des thinking?

 

[madunit]

has anyone checked the hinges in the dogs dressing room, just to make sure they have doors attached to them

 

[Packy]

I don't think Des gives a f**k. It was a test to see who wants to play 1st grade and who doesn't.

He's come a long way since then. This was evident in the pres conference following the Souths game.

I'm not sure where we go from here. I guess we're missing Brett Morris and a lot and James Graham leadership, certain things we have little control over now. Graham returning next week should help, and 3 perhaps easier games than we've had leading into a bye.

klemmer is back next game

 

[Dogs Of War]

Not too unhappy where we are placed given suspensions and injuries. Though this next part of the season we need to get a roll on so we are well placed to take advantage of some of the better teams finding themselves in a similar position to ourselves. I think a lot of them will bounce back and we need to be as well. I'd like to try Corey Thompson at the back to see if he could be the X factor until Brett Morris returns

 

[MarkC]

I agree on trying Thompson at fullback.
Des does seem to go for the conservative safe option most of the time, I guess you can't argue with his coaching record, but it would be good to see the occasional experiment.

Franky and in my opinion Tolman were the only shining lights today. Everyone else was shit

Lichaa and Eastwood were good too

IMO Hodkinson has to be dropped. For whatever reason he has lost all form whilst Mbye keeps getting better. Maybe a few matches in NSW Cup will get his confidence back. Hopefully when one of the centres are back we will see Des bite the bullet

I suspect Hokko has a groin/leg injury, he isn't moving around well, and usually that means you have a problem is that area. Couldn't hurt to rest him and let him recover, otherwise he will be a passenger all season long.

Something is definitely wrong. Goal kicking has been horrible too, by my calculation it's at around 65% this year. We have a 2 week break, hopefully he can rest up and let any injuries sort themselves out and he can get back to his best pretty quick

 

[Aus_Dog]

Hokko is way out of form. If it is due to a leg injury then it is understandable, but Mbye can take his place for now to give him time to get over it

We are missing the Morris twins badly too
