dogs win 17 points

simply handled the conditions far better

Dog fans will be barking loud tonight, well played Central

Dogs seemed to want it more for just a bit longer than the Eags, although both teams went in hard in atrocious conditions. Early on looked the Dogs had wasted long periods in attack with little scoreboard return, and the Eags looked dangerous in transition.
3 or so goals in the 3rd qtr pretty well busted the game open for the home side. Grant again the Dogs best, with solid performances from McCormack, Whitelum, Iles, Hoskin and great blanketing job on Knight by a kid ( Cowham)
This young Dogs side gaining some confidence and tracking in the direction we have all been waiting for

Vital win in context of making finals.
Solid team performance. For the first time in a long time, I have no one (IMO) who I would be looking at dropping from the 21. Every player had an impact.
Once again, loving our defensive unit. Eagles were one point away from their lowest score ever.

I thought Dudley to defence was a good move, had an influence. Might prove a career "reignition".

Very good win in extremely tough conditions .
As mentioned previously it was a real team effort our defence again was outstanding .
5 and 5 after 10 now with more season wins than we have had in the past 3
Not sure which umpire it was but he was determined to get the Eagles over the line in the last quarter and clearly wanted them to win .

Agree.
Played the last 2 or 3 ressie games in defence, and won plenty of the ball, something that he wasn't doing up forward.

Just wondering if there is a rule about changing the footy in such bleak conditions
even though we turned the lights on wouldve been good to be able to change to a yellow footy
which both sides and particularly spectators could see a lot better .

Exactly Steve, deserved his promotion after some solid efforts in the ressies defence over the last 2-3 weeks. If he isn’t the cleanest handler of the footy at the club then he’s in the GF, along with (I would imagine) one of the highest disposal efficiencies in the team… very high footy IQ to boot..

Dogs back in Finals.

Whilst on the Dudz appreciation theme, there was a moment a couple of weeks ago where he changed his mind as to his target during the ball drop; freakish innate abilities.

Just as well we dont play next week that wouldve taken a lot of the boys.
We have a week to freshen up before the toughest test in the competition against the star studded
flag favourites Glenelg at Glenelg .

Similarly, the Eagles fronted up after facing the two AFL sides successively with only a 5 day break in-between.

“clear working days”, gold. You played PA at 2:10 & Adelaide at 12:35, pull the other one - it plays jingle bells…
