ALiir's intercept marks will be missed....McVeigh....I guess that's okay...a cool head...hopefully...i'm a bit concerned about some of decision making under pressure....see how many time he get tackled with the ball.. Even better is Suckling is not fit for the dogs and isn't playing and defender Boyd might be carrying an injury.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AlexRRR Posted September 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2016 Western Bulldogs have beaten Sydney twice this year.... Crows with a pocket full of money and smarting from a one Dangerfield Brownlow have been circling key Midfielders, speculation is Sth Aussie Bryce Gibbs wants to be traded with hush hush talks already under way, they will have to find something to give if true as Gibbs has 3 years to run on his contract....Now haven't times changed once a destination clubs for high profile recruits in the days of cheque book football the Blues cant win a trick in the modern era... meanwhile Tom Rockliff and Hamish Hartlett are being looked over, Crows have denied rumours they offered a deal to the Tigers for Dusty Martin....how fanciful are they? WILL will be happy to know that Drew Petrie has confirmed his interest in joining WCE on a one year contract and on eventual retirement will take up coaching there, a number of delisted veterans are now looking to Simpson for a life line, sun and lots of surf in the west makes a great place to retire to...wops i mean play on... The merry go round of trading and player movement is begging to gather momentment what is appearing is a lot of movement maybe going west, no joking here WILL, Dockers we can understand but the Eagles are figuring highly in rumours...... a continuing pillage of Giants heading to the Pies, Daniel Wells will leave North, 4&20 are keen to get him and so are the Cats. GF trivia.... Billy 'cant win an election" Shorten has tipped the Bulldogs to win. Malcom "i wont the election" has picked Sydney...of course... Tim Lane, once a respected ABC footy commentator who i loved listening too has gone for the Scrays.. Caroline "bulldog' Willson has chosen the Swans... Brownlow voting...... hmmmm my silky smooth boy Jack Watts only got 5 votes, yes Gawn and Viney arrived this season but hey Jack was like a general and getting it done, blond and all should have attracted more votes... Surprise surprise, Brent Harvey only polled 4.... How Burgoyne and Rioli only attracted 8 votes each is astounding something wrong here... Scully 7, hes a god dam work horse... Travis Cloke got a vote so there you are.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As u know Chimpy has jumped on the bandwagon...he will probably go back to the Saints next year if the Doggies lose. Anyway he has been helping Callum Mills the last few weeks with his injury...knowing a few advanced and secret Thai massage methods he learnt from some Chiang Mai Monks... He takes the credit for getting Callum almost match fit and ready... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that if the Bulldogs win, there will be a daily Open Mike (Mon to Friday only). Will start from the back pockets and work through the whole 22 players. Once the players are finished, it will be the injured ones and the ones who missed out. When all of the players have been interviewed, it will go the coaches. Once the players and coaches are done, it will be the administration. After that, past players will be on, followed by staff in general. Once finished, the cheer squad will get their chance, along with the guys running the pie stand. Foxtel have advised that this will see us through to next years pre-season games. Stay tuned for more updates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've ever questioned his integrity as a player or person, watch what Juddy has to say from about the 40 minute 40 second mark... I liked it at the 15 minute mark where Juddy thanked Chimpy for helping him get over his chronic shoulder problems and apologized for not mentioning him in his Brownlow speech. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) Tommy Tommy. We all know you have made a decison already. 2nd round draft pick, what a crock! A case of clubs should be able to trade to whatever club they want to...great deal for Hawthorn Out-of-contract Swan won't look beyond Grand Final SYDNEY Swans midfielder Tom Mitchell isn't looking beyond Saturday's Grand Final and will leave discussions about his future until the end of the season. The out-of-contract Mitchell has been strongly linked with a move to Hawthorn, with reports this week the Hawks could on-trade the second-round pick they are likely to obtain from Fremantle for Bradley Hill. Rampe responds to kick up the backside Mitchell told AFL.com.au at the Grand Final parade on Friday he wasn't worried he could be playing his last game for the Swans. "It's something I haven't thought about all season," Mitchell said. "I'm sure the club and my manager will worry about that when the season's done, but it hasn't affected me. "My focus is solely on the finals so far and the game tomorrow. "I love Sydney and I love playing with a great bunch of blokes. "We've come a long way this year and we just have to do whatever we can to get the job done." http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-09-30/outofcontract-swan-mitchell-wont-look-beyond-grand-final- Edited September 30, 2016 by BookMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexRRR Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Lets see if i can prove that good teams particularly in the finals can win any where.... Week 1 WCE loose at home to the Dogs Cats win at home (MCG) over Hawks Swans loose at home (ANZ) to Giants Crows win at home over North. away team 3-1...Cats play 80k down the freeway so there for even it a home game its actually an away game as Hawks are based at the G Week 2 Hawks loose (MCG) to Dogs Swans win (SCG) over Crows away team 0-1 we dont count the Hawks game...though we should and if we did the it would no longer be rocket science over this issue...Dogs play just 7ks down the road ... Week 3 Cats loose (MCG) to the Swans GWS loose (SPO) to the Dogs away team 2-0 There for my theory is proven correct......5 times the away team has won to 2 times the home team in this years finals.....Todays result means the best team on the day and possibly off the finals campaign will win.... You may argue over the Swans loss to GWS at ANZ as neither team played there until that final never the less it was in Sydney and as far as GWS were concerned they were playing away... Also Hawks have MCG as there home so technically its a home game as the pups play over at Docklands...but to appease expansion members it wasnt counted though it should have been... No more correspondence on this matter will be entered into the algebra proves theory is correct, expansion club members shall deem this as factual and there for refrain from making accusations and snide remarks to and at Victorian members and teams....

Saying if you are good enough you can win anywhere is not a great argument...Why should you have to win the BIGGEST game of the year, away from your home ground?? Possibly giving the opposing team a huge leg up and advantage. Sydney finished 1st, DOggies 7th. Sydney have earned a right to have an advantage, not a disadvantage, which is what they are getting. By your logic, If you are good enough you can win anywhere...which is yet another reason not to give Melbourne based teams a year on year on year confected advantage by having all GFs held at the MCG. I realise that if the GF should leave Melbourne it would upset many Victorians who have never left their home state and who wait for the GF paraded and weeks festivities as the social highlight of their year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 That was a bit disappointing for Sydney fans.. Forward line went missing again..Hopefully Benny Mcglynn's last game for us.. Xavier richards fairly useless....Rohan...expected more...disappears in big games for big chunks...Buddy...got himself an injury and had almost no impact, but he had a two man tag team so the other players should have found space. papley should have done better as a small forward.... Midfields ..no complaints really Backline..held up for the main...Mills had a poor game, result of recent lack of match fitness... Aliir was clearly missed. Umpiring ..awful for Sydney. Crucial fifty/fifty decisions going Bulldogs way and other ones not being paid to Sydney at critical game moments....Sydney will feel aggrieved at quite a few. For Sydney came down to poor forward performance and awful umpiring. 20.8 count against at the final whistle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantSmith Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Well, that's football innit... That had to be one of the worst umpiring performances I've seen all year, even if the scoreline was a blowout as long as the fluorescent maggots didn't play a role, I'd have taken it that the Dogs were the better side. They didn't exactly do what the Giants did to us but it was pretty close and how the <deleted> did Johannisen get the Norm Smith?

Having Brad Johnson on the voting panel was always going to guarantee a Doggies BOG. McVeigh was also shi.t....i forgot about him...I was in favor of leaving the clown out of teh team to be frank. Hanners and Jack had below average games... Xav Richards was almost worst on ground...Mcglynn just pipped him for that honour... We would have been better with Rose or Towers...hindsight being wonderful and all that oh...Tippet was also reasonably Sh..it. Maybe is jaw, but we would have been better off with Nankervis. Naismith was twice the player Tippet was for the day BUT Zak Jones....Awesome game Grundy...exceptional Rampe...above average... Lloyd...Very good Callum Mills...nothing exceptional but i forgive him Nick Smith...did what he always does. McVeigh...Did i mention he was c.rap and I wouldn't have played him?

AlexRRR Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Yeah well...i wasnt taking sides and it was pretty clear early on who were the hunters, i was surprised to see the Dogs got the better of the free's yet i saw a holding in the Dogs froward line think last quarter go un noticed in the end if your making the play your going to get the results go your way. Why wasn't Frankin playing further up the field until late in the game? he started to make a difference, and i doubt he's 100% that belly of his looks like it carrying a few extra kilos........ Tippet? did he only come on late in the game? wasn't sighted before by me at least... Sorry for the Swans supporters you will feel better tomorrow, i enjoyed the game was anyones until the last 10 min, Bulldogs can now claim there second only premiership and this now makes the Dee's as the club with the longest premiership drought, 52 years.....Swans broke theres at 72, Dogs at 61. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy got a foot injury early in the first Q..was down to teh room a few times...His mobility was limited for the first half of the game.. Tippet had a shi.t game...but he does have a hairline jaw fracture so maybe that was on his mind?...anyway, he is paid the big bucks to perform and he didn't. As for the Umps...It was a tight game and it should be clear to anyone watching that they influenced the first 3 quarter to a detrimental degree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
