What we saw on Thursday was insipid.

What a miserable Thursday night watching the Western Bulldogs take two massive steps back on the hard work of the past month.

Absolutely horrific showing.

That's from Jack.

Credit where it's due, I thought Uzay coached a young, undermanned side on the weekend and coached well.

The team definitely came to play, and if it wasn't for a few errant set shots at goal, they were right in the game.

And Jasper Elgar continued with his form with seven goals in successive games.

And something that really stands out when you watch both Essendon's VFL side and AFL side and something that Solly has outlined repeatedly in his first couple of press conferences is how poor our ball protection has been and how little we seem to value our disposals.

That is from Pass.

And what a weekend on a long-suffering Knicks and Arsenal tragic.

I'm hoping for Carlton to make the top 10.

That will complete my trifecta.

And Cote d'Ivor has just beaten Ecuador in the World Cup 1-0.

It was scored late in the piece and caused quite the celebration.

The wisdom and experience of Robert Craddock we rely on every Monday and how rich.

He told us last week, don't tell an Australian team they have no chance.

Yesterday was absolutely thrilling with the Socceroos.

And I feel to harness the best of it, this is where you need Andy Harper, who's part of our SEN call team with Simon Hill.

My first reaction was to look at Artur Guler, the Turkish champion.

As the ref blew full time, he spat his dummy completely.
