Storm have played one of the all time stinkers of a second half. Could still get up but they’ve struggled to get to their kick.
I dont rememeber melb in the dogs 20m all 2nd half
Who’s in the bunker and what part of Belmore do they live in? Running towards the ball? He stops 3m away right in front of Warbrick. Hate bunker overturns like that. That is a referee’s call.
4-1 penalty count
5-0 ruck infringements
Melbourne shot themselves in the foot but wow…

Hows it good for us?
Do you think its painting the dogs better than they really are?
I see them brimming with confidence and with huge momentum...just in time for us

Storm 2nd half played like the Tigers of the last 3 weeks. Play like that again anyone puts 40-50 on us. Storm missed like 20 tackles in about 10 minutes
Dogs all energy and made to look way better by how poor the Storm were. Their issues are still their issues.
Think we are going to miss Sam Fainu to stick it to these guys next weekend
Similar to our opening 20 minutes against Manly. Five line breaks in 15 minutes or so.
If we're going with the theory of the longer a losing streak goes the more likely it will turn...
But yah, could easily go the other way. Especially considering where we are at the moment.
Certainly not without Munster and Grant, but even with them they still have issues. Let’s face it they have only beaten 2 weak and depleted teams in the past two weeks, us and Parra.
I just think confidence is a big thing in this game...theyll take a.lot from this regardless of how poor storm were...dogs were good.
But as you say when we look where we are....argument both ways i guess

Burton finally stepped up. Xerri looked good too.
If our edges are weak they could run a muck.

I think the opposite, they dont look connected and playing as a team. They probably see this win as a bit of a relief rather than momentum building. Storm have half their spine at origin and probably 5 of their top 7 players unavailable. They had a shocking second half and dogs were running downhill.
They were really hunting in D In the second half. Storm made errors but some probably through the pressure they were under. A bit like us, Dogs attack is clunky and a work in progress.
Defense wins next week.

Storm kept going up the middle, dogs just compressed their defence and easily handled it. Very one dimensional game plan. If grant was out there the storm win that game.
Yeah the Storm completed at around 50% in H2. Have to credit the Dogs energy in defence considering the Storm weren’t taking many risks. We’ll need to match them early in that regard.

6 AGAINS,
BLOODY JOKE.
WATCHING LAST NIGHT DOLPHINS GETTING A LOT OF 6 AGAINS, ? RAIDERS TOTALLED MAYBE 1 OR 2 MAX.
THEN TONIGHT WE SAW DOGGIES GET RUB OF GREEN, OFFICIAL 5 TO 0
6 AGAINS, BUT WHOEVER WATCHED THAT GAME WOULD HAVE SEEN STORM DID GET 1 _ 6 AGAIN, BUT DOGS GOT MORE LIKE 8 OR 9 _ 6 AGAINS,
FUNNY THAT DOGS WERE THE BAD BUGGERS WHEN IT CAME TO PENALTIES,
GIVING 4 AWAY, AND STORM ONLY 1,
BUT REFEREE DEEMED STORM TO BE THE BAD BUGGERS AS FAR AS 6 AGAINS WERE CONCERNED.
SO I AGREE WITH RICKY STEWART,
THE REFEREING IS TOTALLY CONFUSING THESE DAYS.
