Why is it every Bulldogs game I can be bothered watching,their players are lifting the opposition ,and even when the player is down ,they drag them back several metres? When other sides do the same,the ref immediately blow the pea out of their whistle?Are the refs scared Dessi will scowl at them?Having said that some or the penalties awarded by the ref yesterday,both to us and the opposition,they were laughable.It is almost as if they were told an "x" amount of penalties had to awarded in a given time frame,regardless whether there was an infringement or not.
No doubt Archer will come out at the end of the round and commend the performance of the refs and claim they got 98% of the decisions correct.

tripping used to be an instant send off. It's one of the grubbiest acts you can do on a footy field. I'd rather see two blokes go punch for punch in the middle of the field than seeing a player trip another.
For mine there's only 2 things worse than tripping and that's biting and tanking a match, whether it be for money or not for money. Those are the 3 things you just don't do.
