Re: Congratulations Bulldogs

Face facts in 09 we won 19 straight. DOMINANT team of season but CHOKED when it mattered - we kick straight and out 5-6 on the Cats and I doubt (against the best defensive side for decades) they get us We missed ,.... some from inside the goal square....think Schneider.... we blew it.

Re: Congratulations Bulldogs

It's actually a victory for risk taking believers over the incremental improvalists' school. They punted, so many didn't, they won, others were risk averse, good freakin' luck to 'em. Say that again. :?: :?: :shock: I shouldn't have to, S, it's blindingly obvious - look at 'em - their defence is a ...

Re: Congratulations Bulldogs

They deserved it and made their own luck by getting there But Things went their way, that cannot be denied. Buddy getting injured, Hannebury the same and not even getting a free kick. Some of the umpiring was hideous and if we copped the wrong end of that we'd be tearing the place down. But they to...

Re: Congratulations Bulldogs

Great effort Doggies. A super finals series . Fairy tale stuff. Well done Tom Boyd. How good their coach must be. Quality person.. Great to see him get Bob Murphy up on stage. The only downside on the game... How ironic it was that the last act of the game was a staging high tackle to Toby McLean.h...

Re: What Shyts me is....

Everything fell into place for the Dogs. It seriously makes me want to vomit in my mouth. Extra week - Should have been out week 1. Don't underestimate the impact. (No side has ever won from 7th. EVER) Should be going to the draft with pick 12. Played - The biggest downhill skiers ever seen in the ...

Re: VFL news - Frankston gone?

Sad news especially when so much money is in the game but not enough to support local football. Hope they can re-emerge in some other form if necessary and play in the Southern League or some other appropriate local based league. They have a lot going for them with local council support and good fac...

Re: Selwood legacy there for all to see

Look @6621104 I dont like him ducking either but he might do that occasionally just like many other players. Most of the time that I see him get a free from a head high tackle it is because he has gone in hard at the ball and some opponent has not been quite strong enough to tackle him in the correc...

Re: Selwood legacy there for all to see

Facts are that Selwood now has the most free kicks of any player. just passed Scott west, in 100 fewer games. Scott West was a warrior, tough, in and under and in no way less a ball player or less hard at it than Selwood. The difference is in the Selwood shrug, it is such a statistical improbabilit...

Re: Surely we can get a forward off GWS

Because ( as it turns out ) Guerra is a better defender than forward, and can miss point blank goals at vital times. And Schneider can't? Have you forgotten the 2009 Grand Final? Whatever. I just think Guerra is only a good forward If you compare to someone like Andrew McQualter. If you want to go ...

Re: Surely we can get a forward off GWS

If GWS, as expected, get Tom Boyd, and then also Buddy Franklin, with Cameron and Patton, they will end up with a list of key forwards probably unprecedented at any club ever. It is actually astounding. It was reported in the Age that Cameron would be happy to move to CHB to accommodate everyone, b...
