Dogs are terrible. They have no attack, and then get punished in defence

It's hard to see how this team wins games of footy, they've got no points in them. You just got the feeling watching this that if they couldn't score, Cowboys eventually would. Cowboy don't even need to dominate possession against a team like Canterbury
 
Leo's metres are pretty good, and a few good offloads, but he's had some shocking errors
 
It’s weird.

Bulldogs have a small pack but they play like they have a pack that has Price and Petero in the front row. They keep trying to grind teams down and it’s not working.

I dont think you can blame the small pack though when they have so much good ball and do nothing with it.

No that’s on Ciraldo. He keeps trying to play a grinding game with a small pack rather than trying to utilise their strengths, which is their mobility.
 
It's been raining steadily the past 30 minutes here in Brisbane, a wet weather game might suit Melbourne, keep teams away from their edges.

I reckon Melbourne flog Redcliffe tonight anyway

Yup, getting to the money end doesn't seem to be a problem, it's the complete lack of shots fired once they get there that's the blinding issue. Lucky tries off kicks or one-on-one defensive misses is literally all they have. Burton isn't a 5/8 and Galvin is too inexperienced to run the attack, though he's trying. Burton to centre, Galvin to a running 5/8 and bring in a #7 is what they need to do.

They lack speed, who in that team is busting someone open with their speed and footwork?

Lol Cobbo not the smartest play there...
 
Lmaoooo Herbie passing that is almost as stupid as Cobbo running out essentially
