“You’ve got no idea what you’re going to get out of Daniher. “They throw the ruckman forward as an act of desperation. “The ball came out of their defensive 50 at 100 miles an hour under no pressure, which puts their defence under a heap of pressure and eventually it’s got to crack – and it did. There was no one prepared to take a big risk and when they did, it looked like they weren’t on the same page.” “They’ve got some problems up forward and if they don’t fix those problems, they’re not going to enjoy any success this season. They have guys that just don’t find a way to get involved when it’s not their night.

Marcus Bontempelli was the star early as the Dogs came out full of fire after a lacklustre opening two weeks. He finished with 0.4 for the night.
