Matty Johns talking up Xerri for Origin. FMD he’s the 3rd best centre from NSW at his club. Mediocrity defined.

Doggies got the reach around treatment like they will in just about every game this year but that first half was a mess from the Raiders. That and the dud last tackle in the corner with 2 minutes left on the clock - that's something you do when you're up by 4 not down by 4.
Raiders could not buy a call from that pooch schlong sucker with the whistle
we copped plenty in the first half , because they had the ball

we had long periods with the ball in the 2nd half , they behaved just like we did in the ruck..
no 6 agains ?

Damn so many salty fans of the other 16 clubs in this thread! Who cares how we win, we won! Yes attack is pedestrian but defence is top notch!

Bring on whoever we have next.

Bulldogs did well to get this victory through adversity.

Canberra should have had 2 players binned for the same tackle.

Gee got most calls right and the better team won

Outstanding work of fiction there mate.
Cry some more buddy. Always the victim

You conveniently leave out the fact your team was head hunting all game and should have been binned several times. That red headed twat in your team was going for shoulders in the second half, which was missed by the ref.

Convenient you bring up that Galvin was in front of the mark when the alternative is your player was holding him down with to stop him getting a quick play the ball and should have/could have been binned.

Raiders had the rub of the green but were just too ill disciplined. Own it. It is fact.

Dogs fans crowing over a game where they attacked worse, defended worse, had the rub of the green to the extent they could but won in the end cos the Raiders were on absolute tilt with their discipline is certainly a take.

Both sides were very shit and will be hoping it was down to the weather/no one remembering to bring the Raiders communal brain

It's true. Unfortunately our chief minister is an AFL fan who literally devotes more of the ACT's budget in subsidies to GWS AFL team than he does the Raiders, hates league. Total merkin. So he won't lobby for federal partnership for a new stadium even though it'd benefit the Brumbies, the Raiders, an A League Soccer franchise and allow us to get potential world cup games of all those codes if Oz ever hosts...

Bruce stadium is falling apart and in a crappy location. You either do a major revamp of the precinct (the population in Bruce could support more drinking/dining transport etc) or move the stadium...

AFL is lame AF but Manuka Oval tbh is just as shit.

Our sports grounds all need a massive revamp and no matter which pack of fart sniffing former APS merkins are in government I can't see where the money or support comes from, when the Green vote is so powerful.

The Dogs defence has really been no better than the Dragons or Raiders defence though has it? They won both games two tries all.

They won though...

2 games... 1 was in a miniature field and the other one in torrential rain... Travelled to Vegas for one and the other to Canberra with an almost 3-week break in between! This hasn’t been ideal at all but they still won.

Whose crowing? They won both games played! Who cares how you win!

Both teams were shit? Seriously? Did you watch the game? It was the best game so far by a country mile this season with 2 high quality teams, the weather was atrocious! Don't be a 50-40 person for a good game, those people are moronic!
