Everything that could have gone wrong did and the Bulldogs were very good.
When the game was up for grabs Brisbane didn’t take any of their chances and never recover. Very disappointing performance.

What a surprise this game turned out to be. Not many gave the Dogs a chance coming into the game but they were clearly the better side from start to finish.
They had a good mix of youth and experience pulling their weight.
For Brisbane, where to start.
Nothing went right. Hard to think of too many winners around the ground and for a side coming in to a season with such high expectations, this is a shocking start.

Higgins adds his third after some classy play from Griffen and Minson.
After struggling to kick goals all 2012, the Dogs have now kicked 19 today. Outstanding effort and good signs for the future.

Things aren’t about to get any easier for Brisbane who will take on Adelaide (coming off a break) in round two.
The Bulldogs will have another game at Etihad Stadium against Fremantle.

Party time. Higgins adds his name to the list with an outstanding goal.
19 disposals and 2 goals for Higgins. Another one who has looked brilliant today.
Beyond ugly now for Voss who was under pressure going into this season. Those questions will be getting louder now.

The Dogs aren’t about to let their hard work be undone though as Griffen drills a goal. He has two goals and 24 disposals for the match. Been outstanding.

Not exactly a debut game to remember for Brent Moloney but he can hold his head reasonably high. 20 disposals and five tackles, worked hard.
Beams kicks his first for Brisbane from a set shot. Needed his accuracy earlier in the game. Three in a row to Brisbane.

Also playing his first game for the Dogs, Tom Young.
7k 5h 12d one tackle. Solid without being a star. Could prove to be a very handy pick up.

Sub for the Dogs. Koby Stevens out, Clay Smith in.
In his first game for the Dogs, Stevens finishes with 7k, 10h, 17d and one tackle. Solid game.
New quarter but same story for the Lions as the Dogs continue to push.

Positive start to the last from Brisbane, with Brown taking a strong mark and kicking his first goal for 2013. Classes the gap to 55.
One of the few set shot goals for the Lions today.

About to start the final term and it is an important one for both team.
The Lions need to get something, anything out of this game or else months of hard work could be undone.
The Bulldogs need to show a four quarter performance.

That clearance ends up in a point to Brisbane after a long, long review.
Hard to tell whose boot the ball came off but it certainly looked like it was off the Lions player.
Won’t change any results but it will be a talking point during the week.
Six seconds left in the quarter and Cooney gives away a free kick and 50 metre penalty. Brisbane sneak a late goal but it won’t dampening the spirits of the Dogs, who are on fire.

The pain isn’t over yet. Dahlhaus drills another and this is getting ugly.
Vossy is fuming.
On a positive not, the Lions did just win a clearance.

From the restart, the Bulldogs go coast to coast with Johannisen drilling a goal from 50. He has had four score involvements today in a solid outing.
Margin out to 60 points.
The lack of fight from the Lions is worrying. Big time.

Lead is 55. With Cooney bursting through the middle and sending the Dogs forward again.
Can’t make anything off it this time though and the Lions rebuild and will have a shot on goal through Zorko.
Another miss from a set shot. Kicking of the Lions has been shocking today.

That won’t be happening any time soon though. As Murphy kicks another for the Dogs after the assist from Minson.
Set shot, goal and the acting captain has two.

Stefan Martin gets to have a shot from the same place in missed from in Q1. Makes no mistake and kicks his first goal for his new club.
Margin back under 50. Lions need multiple goals in quick time.
Need the lead to be at the most 30 going into the last.

Lions get a couple of points back through two rushes. That’s about the best thing to report.
Matt McGuire has also been subbed out.

From the re-start, Gia is given a free kick and 50 metre penalty after a turnover kick.
Drills the goal from point blank and the margin in 51 points, biggest lead of the game.
Just for a change, Bulldogs win another clearance. Liam Jones ends up on the end of this one after marking on the lead.
Jones drills the goal. Margin out to 57. Voss looks amazed in the box. Can not believe what is happening.

All Bulldogs early days. Surge forward again but Lions hold firm. Ball in dispute in the Dogs forward line.
Robert Murphy gets the ball on the boundary. Ridiculous angle and drills it! Amazing goal. 1 in 100 type stuff and the margin grows.
Bulldogs win another clearance from the re-start. Higgins sprints forward and….misses. Just.
All Bulldogs here.

Dogs smashed the clearances all first half and Griffin wins the first one of the second. Sends his side forward and deep inside 50 but only results in a rushed behind.
Griffin involved in three bits of play and won them all.
Two minutes in and Brisbane haven’t got it into their forward half.

Today may have been a flogging but it is great to have footy back.
