Great start to round 3 watching the bulldogs lose.

 

[Danny-Boy]

Refs man refs, we were having a good run and all enjoying the football. How did this disgraceful performance slip through the cracks Daniel?

 

[umina panther]

I had Melbourne's -5.5 f**k

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Dud game between two teams who Ricky Stuart will pwn

 

[Vic Mackey]

Poor last kick by reynolds, but he was the one who got the dOgs back into it.

 

[skeepe]

Funnily enough, despite the terrible standard of refereeing in that, I think Ben Cummins had a very good game. All the rubbish calls came from Chris James or Bernie Sutton.

Blame the queer wearing the fangs for being a good kicker lol

 

[M2D2]

Haha Slater got MOM.

 

[hineyrulz]

Ennis is a useless steaming pile of shit.

:lol: When does he start doing that?

 

[no name]

Haha Slater got MOM.

For his wonderful kicking game.

 

[gsweeper]

Melbourne got absolutely shafted by the refs, absolutely shafted.

In saying that, too many people here are discrediting the dogs performance tonight. Melbourne deserved winners, but Dogs were good.

 

[hineyrulz]

thought Cronk deserved motm.

 

[New Guy]

new chick on the footy show is hot, but she should not speak ever again

 

[SaraSassypants]

The obstruction call was harsh but the refs are being consistent. They said any contact initiated by the attacking team will be penalised and that's what happened tonight. if that's the way they want to do it they'd better keep it that way across the season otherwise fans will start blowing up.

 

[Springbokfly]

Dogs are the goods

 

[Peter_phelps]

I was disappointed with our performance, given Canterbury had 4 of their best out, we should have won this by 20+. Credit to them, I think they will beat Souths next week given they are likely to have Pritchard and Barba return. Lucky Josh Reynolds had that brain explosion at the end, because Sam Perrett was unmarked on the wing.

Credit to David Klemmer, for coming out and defending Slater by saying it was accidental.

Bit harsh i think given the amount of travel we've had to do and on top of that having only a 5 day back up. Fatigue was always going to set in which it obviously did in the last 10 minutes when the game was won.

Add to that if Cronk wasn't disallowed his try with the most farcical decision for a long time the game would've been done and dusted well before. Were we on top of our game? No we weren't though we haven't been for the opening 3 weeks but have still won them all, 2 of them against teams you'd think will be right in the thick of things come season end. It's much better to win ugly than lose pretty

Can't wait till the team actually hits their straps and shows what they're really capable of.......

 

[Red Bear]

I think 5 day turnaround + townsville trip caught up with Melbourne the last ten minutes or so, otherwise pretty comfortable victory.

 

[Timmah]

It took them the best part of 60 minutes to kick clear, then they flailed after they got in front.

I think they're tired, yes, but I think their outside backs aren't as defensively sound as they once were. Sa'u in particular - Dane Nielsen huge loss IMO
