Half time: Western Bulldogs 4.0.24 lead Pies 2.3.15

Pies had their chances but some poor decision making. Morris should have scored in the 2nd from 25 metres out but did a slight step, called play on and gone. Instead the ball ends up at the other end of the ground. Bulldogs get a 50 and goal.

Bulldogs have scored twice from an overlap and running on to the ball.

Cronin has been good in the backline but the ball is coming in too quick.

[Dark Beanie]

Being outworked in the 3rd quarter, again.
Bulldogs setting up well behind the ball so Pies have got nothing when it gets into half forward.

And another dubious free kick rubs salt into the wound

[shawthing]

Unwatchable garbage. We keep kicking the ball straight to Dogs players.

Nice to hear the North coach savaging the ridiculous fixture.

[Dark Beanie]

Well someone has to but the AFLW won't listen.

We have players who unfortunately are not up to AFLW level. The game has improved they haven't.

[shawthing]

Yep, this comp needs everything to go right to attract crowds. We are winless at the bottom of the ladder. More Dogs fans than Pies at Vic Park. Sad day. This result is truly embarrassing against a weak Dog's side.

[Haff]

I’ve watched a few games this season and I was surprised how much the standard has improved. They can generally kick the ball 40 and hit targets etc.
Thought I’d watch some of our girls knowing were bottom 2. They are not very good. Skills poor. Doesn’t seem to be any better than the last time I watched aflw 5 years ago.

[Dark Beanie]

Another loss .

At least there are a few bars for a drink near Vic Park. Lulie Street Tavern and then Rita's for pizza
