Official Round 4 - Dogs vs Storm - Consolidated Match Thread

[Kaz]

Can someone please explain to me why did the ref blow the whistle before the siren?

The refs have 'alarms' on their watches & the siren must have been out.

Refs go by their watches.

All I wanted from our team was for them to turn up and really put it to the Storm. It was always going to be a big ask of us considering the hype around Smith and the points scoring record, that is all anyone wants to talk about at the moment.

Kudos to Dean and the boys for their efforts thus far, let's hope we can continue to be in the game right until the end. No one gave us much hope and it makes me want to puke to hear the way in which the commentators are now falling over themselves to give us credit. It is like they are choking on every word. Still want to put over the point that Melbourne is weak on one side and that is why we are doing well. Not because we are putting in and giving it our all.....

Refs go by the TAB.

Fixed

 

[GrogDog]

Yeah...gee, wouldn’t an extra forward be happy today

I would take an extra anyone tbh but maybe Lichaa can rise considering the effort everyone else is giving

 

[The DoggFather]

Because we where about to score

Should of taken a field goal.

 

[Howard Moon]

The upset is on!! Bring on the second half!

 

[ash160]

How good is this side building

 

[EXPLORER]

I'm not worried about the storm, only worried about the betting agency employees AKA the refs

All the money is on the storm
The betting would want us to win

 

[Dognacious]

im thinking okunbor will be staying in the starting side. Holland and him go well together. Hollands defence has been good today.

 

[Dogna88]

I just want to compete second half. And i honestly wont mind if we lose

 

[silva]

Shades of the 98 gf here...backs against the wall. I think wel go on with this..greatest boil over in the history of the game. The dogs are officially back!

 

[bcmf]

Meaney needs to start to support

 

[Chrisaaar]

Commentary wasn't bias enough so they brought in Billy Slater

I know right? *special guest* Eadc

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Is he converting you? lol.

It's 1 half lol. If I see more halves like this then I won't have much to complain about.

I disagree, half the kennel called for RFM for Lichit

 

[Wolfmother]

The entertainers are back?

 

[Chrisaaar]

fucken storm cheating *****.. we couldve had one more play there

No penalty for holding either lol

 

[KiwiDog7]

Holland is playing like the best centre in the world!!

What I take out of that 40 is: -

• The team does not give a shit what odds and commentators think. They have relished the challenge and back themselves to compete and win.
• When we are on, we are on! The confidence, the skill across the park to move the ball and hold onto it, the consistent defence and toughness.
• We have fuck all experience and don't seem to give a shit - we are playing as if it does not matter - love it.
• We have ambushed Melbourne who would have struggled to take us seriously based on where they are at and where we are.
• We are winning this game in this first 40 at least because Melbourne have no answers. Their fluke bullshit try is the only reason they are not ZERO!
• We have intensity, straight lines, eagerness to play the ball fast, hit the line hard. And it is throughout the 40!
  
  How awesome to come out and do it again for 40 and shock everyone! Finger's crossed!
