Doogs' Droogs

[Rocco Jones]

Ladies and gentlemen I introduce to you the greatest cult hero following group on this board. Our club has desperately searched for a tall forward to lead them to the promised land. A few of us have been fooled into believing false key-foward prophecies such as those of Tom Davidson, Nathan Saunders, Pat Bowden and Aaron James. Children all is forgiven as long as you see the light and take in Andrew McDougall as our key forward saviour.

This thread wil act as a virtual temple for Andrew McDougalls followers to reflect on his greatness with fellow believers (followers are called Doogs' Droogs cause Droogs sounds like Doogs and I'm a big Clockwork Orange fan).

Here is a picture of him to enjoy.

Rocco, didn't you start a thread like this to Tom D last year... :)

[Pembleton]

Aaron James and Nathan Saunders were also similarly celebrated by Rocco.

[Rocco Jones]

Mods please delete the last 2 posts, this is a place to worship Doogs, not for throwing mud (and boy don't we have an expert in that field in Pembleton).

Mods can you also creat another sub-section for this board? We have the normal section, the Dog House and the Can Bar. I think this board needs an Andrew McDougall sub-section. Remember Doogs sells.

[Rocco Jones]

Apologies to my fellow Droogs for that. Getting back on track, I will be posting something Bulldog fans might not have known about Doogs everyday.

Did you know?....

Doogs regularly did his grocery shopping during Eagle's away games to avoid encountering Eagle fans. Eagle fans are obviously not worthy of his greatness.

[soupaman]

I must say, how weedy does he look in that picture.

Have to say I liked the guy when I met him last month.

Tall, so tall.

When I showed his photo with me at work - they laughed and wanted to know if he was standing on a box. I tucked nicely under his arm pit.

He came into the surfshop i work at the other day to hire a board. He was trying to stay very low key with his beanie and glasses number.

I get bad bad vibes about him.

I've either been burnt too many times or i have bat senses... Either way, i don't like it.

We effectively traded pick 61 for Doogs and pick 66, I don't think there is that much to be afraid of.

exactly. if it doesn't work out you haven't exactly lost much.

[The Coon Dog]

You never know with trades, either they work or they don't.

Different environment, different coach, different game plan, different attitude.

I'm with you Rocco, clearly we have nothing to lose.

[Rocco Jones]

exactly. if it doesn't work out you haven't exactly lost much.

Being serious for a moment, I don't think you have either. His attitude there seemed a joke, really needed a change, last chance etc. Upgrade in 2nd round is nice for your lot (we didn't have to pay for it as it was going to Aker anyway), sometimes just turning over the list is healthy.

Now back to the mindless worship of Doogs!

This drivel over (to date) useless kpp's is making we in the Bring Back Bartlett club look astute. Thanks.

Rocco,

I didn't have Doogs in my best 22, but now you mention it we have a hole on the list for a Patrick Bowden type.... granted Doogs is a little behind Pat Bowden in terms of development, possessions, goals, and time on the paddock in 06...

Bad news guys. My thread requesting an Andrew McDougall board has been deleted from the suggestions board, I will take this as a rejection for now.

Doesn't suprise me, the discrimination a Doogs follower encounters on this board is disgraceful.

I'm a Collingwood supporter, but I'm a big mcdougal fan.

Infact, search my user name and threads started on the west coast eagles board and you'll see I've genuinly made threads about him which weren't trolling.

I would love to be a droog (also a fan of clockwork orange).

But I understand if my dreams are rejected as I'm not bulldogs faithful.

Your dream has come true my son. The joy of Doogs should not be limited to Bulldogs fans, I hope fans of all clubs can appreciate his brilliance despite the hurt he may cause via destroying them.

Stop with the hating!!!! He is ours to love or hate now! and this thread is for love so i say long live doogs and even though i don't think he will play a major role at the start of the year i say hes a step in the right direction and a shining beacon for the future!:D

Could I possibly interest you in a Doogs' Droogs membership?

Glad to see the back of him....

[Dogs 13]

I've always been told Don't Do Droogs.

[.M a t t.]

I'm on the bandwagon.
Let's wait to see the West Coast supporters say we ripped them off when he kicks 5 against them and wins us the game.

[~PC~]

I really fail to see how he's just going to come to us and rip it up after years of apparently being a lazy bastard.

I'm all for the winning and stuff and hope he's something close to what we need, but you know... There really seems to be a familar quality about him...

[Pembleton]

Let me spell it out for you... He has no ticker. None whatsoever.

Thanks for spelling it out with such clarity, but I am not too bright so had to use dictionary.com to help me understand.

Ticker:
a telegraphic receiving instrument that automatically prints stock prices, market reports, etc., on a paper tape.

I can't believe we have traded for a guy that doesn't have one of these. :(

That's what talented but lazy players do sometimes. I know a guy who had been cutting corners at work as much as possible, but then he decided he wanted to change his reputation and be good at his job, and that guy is now the hardest working and best shipping whatsit there is. :)

I think you are imagining the familiar quality, probably based on not having seen him play much. The KPP's we have traded for recently have been battler types (Jade, Bassett, Morgan, Bartlett) whereas Doogs' is a wayward talent.

I think some people still underrate just how cheaply we have picked Doogs up. He is a 1st round pick that has shown he can do some stuff at AFL level, and we got him for nothing. Morgan and Bassett, who had done much less in their careers before joining us then Doogs has, and had no reputation for being particularly talented, each cost us a third round pick IIRC.

Said person has spent all day on internet cos he burnt himself out last night.

Fair point though. I think traded KPP and i think of the host of ******** guys we've had...

Like i said, hopeful i'm wrong, happy to be, but all i can think of is this Barts/Jade/James type Super Dud.

BTW: Seen the Football Board? :D

I have never heard those things said about Doogs, you must be a detective or something equally as clever and insightful, thank you for the information.

BTW If you look close enough (and they shouldn't be hard for someone with your expertise) you might find that you have also missed the point of this thread.

[Cyberdoggie]

you can put me on the droogs standby list rocco.

Having probably never seen him play or paid any attention to him i believe i cannot qualify for the honour of being a droog of the doog.

When i complete my assessment i'll formally upgrade or revoke my status.

p.s. as a droog member do we get a membership pack including top hat, cane, make up and padded white jock strap?

[Pembleton]

No, checking now.

[onslaught]

Despite the preachings of Rocco, I still have some doubts...Are concession memberships available?

If Doogs live up to Rocco's hype, i'll upgrade mid-season.

[Mofra]

Why does this thread remind me of last year's pre-season thread about joining the K-Mac bandwagon?

[Go_Dogs]

Haha, good to be back to a thread like this.

[Rookie]

I've been hoping McDougal would head our way for three years.

Count me in.

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

I've always been a closet McDougall fan (no homo), so I hope he does well.

[superfraser]

McDougal undoubtedly has talent..

Kicked 35 goals in 2004? Something like that anyway.

2005 the big Unit stepped in while Doogs was injurred.

2006 the big Unit made FF his own.

Sorry, guys, I'm not a big follower of the Western Bulldogs. Infact, I don't even follow football nearly as passionately as anyone here, who are Daniel Cross and Lindsey Gilbee?

Back when I did follow football a little more passionately, you guys had a different coach, and I'd never heard of these guys? I know they aren't recent draft picks like Ryan Griffen - for example.

...Maybe you traded for them? But I'm sure I'd have remembered them from someone elses list?

Oh! OR maybe you guys got a new coach... and I'd assume had many new assistants and such - but I'm not sure about that. Just MAYBE someone on your coaching panel knows how to get people who may have been in the system for a couple of years but not fulfilling their potential to step it up a notch.

Now I'm probably just crazy, but isn't a 22/23? year old Forward/Ruckmen playing for his career a better option then a 28/29 year old Forward/Defender with busted knees who is playing for his giant contract?

Don't compare doogs to rawlings or anyone.

He is his own player.

There is EVERY chance he will fail, but you know you've given nothing for him. Maybe he'll succeed and kick 40 goals for ya.

Its certainly not unrealistic.

Watch the first half of West Coast vs Brisbane where Doogs kicked 4 goals on Mal Michael. He can play.

Can you guys help him to play good consistant footy?

I reckon you'll get 30+ goals from him if he plays 20+ games. Not a big return, but could be much more then that.

[Dry Rot]

who are Daniel Cross and Lindsey Gilbee?



Hopeless players and poor draft picks.

Cross is lazy on the track, lacks ticker and fitness while Gilbee can't kick.

Both will be delisted this year.

After being at the back of the Kool-Aid queue in Jonestown and missing out when they ran out of cups, it took me years to find a new messiah. Then when I did, I popped down to the Waco shops for some bread and when I got back, the place was a mess and everyone had gone.
So I'm prepared to take Doogs as my new messiah.
Tall, good looking, aloof, laconic...I'll put my house on him for the Coleman now and tattoo 32 on my heart. Forget your false prophets Bartlett, Rawlings, Davidson and Bowden, Doogs will take us to the promised land

I believe the holy trinity may apply:

CHF, CHB and the holy ghostlike ability to take a pack mark

Doogs will be all of these things and more (unless Tom Williams is miraculously healed and can hold down CHB, as prophecised in the Rodney Eade Testament eds. 2005, 2006 and 2007)

Sorry J, based on reports from yesterday there are clearly some people who want to either withdraw from your little group or perhaps reaffirm their commitment. With just one week to go before the NAB Cup starts, I think the bandwagon needs to be declared full at about 3:29pm next Saturday...

For what it is worth, I am not a Droog. Pretty much on board with whatever you are calling your Cam Wight appreciation group...(Wight's Knights too obvious?)

There was one moment that really stood out for me;


Third quarter the ball gets kicked to Doogs at the Geelong Rd end. He doesnt go at the contest hard enough and the ball spills, Doogs picks it up and ignores the easy hand off to Higgins, choosing instead to try and square the ball up to Johnno only to have it smothered of his boot and lose possesion.


Three basic ******** ups in one passage of play. Dont think I'll ever forget it.

All the players tried to square the ball to a man in the centre of the ground-it seemed like a team rule and, being the charitable kind of guy I am, I can kind of see what Doogs was trying to do with the kick. It's just that Missy was screaming for the ball, was in much better position and was on his own.


Doogs just needed to think about it less and go with the first option after messing up the marking contest.




BTW Adrian Anderson is coming up on 3AW soon. Dare you ring in and mention him dropping that easy mark when you spooked him!

I think all Doogs needs is a bit of confidence. Games with the doggies should bring him that and i think that will be enough for him to cement a spot in the team hopefully.

And as funny as it would be with Adro, i wouldnt know what to say. Ill just keep that in the back of my mind and if we play them again i might have a few words:p
