They set the early pace in this game, but were showing signs of tiring.<\/p>\n
They led by 26 points at quarter-time, but that was dragged back to 14 by the long break, including a frustrating buzzer beater just as the half-time siren blew \u2013 a long-range goal from Murphy Reid that left Dogs coach Luke Beveridge fuming.<\/p>\n
One wonders if the Dogs are leaving too much to two few. They have the four highest possession winners on the ground – Marcus Bontempelli (22), Ryley Sanders (15), Matthew Kennedy (15), Bailey Dale (15).<\/p>\n
In comparison, Freo has been stunted and docile. They can expect a baking from coach Justin Longmuir. The Dockers look to have the most upside, but we thought that before the game.<\/p>\n
Both sides have 20 inside 50s. The Bulldogs have been slightly more efficient. They have definitely been more determined. An upset win is not beyond them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They set the early pace in this game, but were showing signs of tiring.
