Review DOGS INTO THE GRAND FINAL FEEEEKYEAAAAH!

[SupercededMan]

All I wanted at half time was to half the third and we did. I’m embarrassed about my screaming during the first 10 minutes though

It was a nervous time, for sure, but give yourself a yellow card anyway ;-)

Schache was sensational with his blocking of Aliir to assist Naughton in taking a mark early in the first QTR.

 

[Dogsman16]

Absolute masterstroke by beveridge,

Play schache behind allir, Instruct our mids to not pinpoint it in for leads but rather kick it directly on allirs head so he can't run and jump or kick it over his head to Schache.

Schache did enough to keep the ball on the ground and then take some marks out the back.

Mad scientist bevo was genius last night.

I woke up this morning......from the strangest dream. I was in the biggest army! The world has ever seen.

 

[SupercededMan]

I can relate to your grandfathers comments Bulldogsjake. I woke up thinking exactly that ….. have been barracking for the Doggies for 52 years and waited so so long to see them gain that dream appearance in GF in 2016. And now it is happening again just five years later. Wow.

Can relate. There are a few of us old crusties who remember the really dark times.

Cue Monty Python's - "My family lived in a shoebox in the middle of the road". ;-)

Schache was sensational with his blocking of Aliir to assist Naughton in taking a mark early in the first QTR.

Schache was immense. His ability to halve or even win 50/50s was outstanding all night. The "physicality" problems have always been overplayed; the biggest issue holding him back has always been what happens when the ball isn't delivered lace-out and he ends up in unfavourable positions, but ever since he had that brief time spent down back he's looked hungry and done an outstanding job in those contests. I'm so stoked for him, and stoked for us as well.

 

[Here we go dogs]

Is Danny Southern still in Perth?

Or Chris Grant.

Matty Boyd would be over there.

Other option would be Brad Hardy.

 

[LordLucifer]

Well done Doggies, I have been on your wagon for the past few months and i'm really stoked that you are in the GF.

Most people have already got the Demons name engraved on the cup, I don't.

Out of all the prelim contenders, I genuinely believe the Dogs have the Demons measure and are more than capable than toppling them.

This two week break will mean that some of the players with injury niggles will be fully fit to go which is also a blessing.

There is a huge expectation on he Demons shoulders and I reckon they will not handle that additional pressure well either.

Nothing would please me more than to see the Dees fall at the last hurdle ...... bring it on !!

Dogs to win the flag
Treloar for the norm Smith
Perfecto.

What a night! 14 days ago we were staring down an elimination final defeat against Essendon and now we are a serious chance of taking the lot.

Garnder and Schache standing up when it matters most while B. Smith has surely silenced any critics (including myself) from the middle of the year.

6 contested marks from a 21-year-old in a prelim is just nuts and Treloar was just about back to his best and Jacko is having one of the best finals series on record. A serious chance for the Gary Ayres Medal and even the Norm Smith.

Now as always…

[SupercededMan]

I think they somehow put Liam Picken in Mitch’s body.

Wash your mouth out! There's only one Liam Picken ;-)

But yeah, been awesome.

 

[Sharpiesadog]

I need to watch the last quarter again because by then I was too busy drinking, celebrating and carrying on texting all and sundry I barely watched the game. Will watch it all again I guess….

Somehow, to add to the joy of the weekend, despite being bladdered last night, having bugger all sleep, I’m not hungover.

 

[Wetdog]

And Embley

How many games did Embley play for us? I must have been in a coma for the whole period he was on our list.

Should be a Doggies or Dees ex player handing over the cup. Anything else is a joke.

 

[gordo2016]

Brereton gave Schache a huge wrap last night, saying he played "the game of his life." Written off countless times, continually described as soft and now gets the chance to have a premiership medallion hanging around his neck. Obviously much more resilient than people give him credit for. His dad will be looking down at him from the big sky and Josh is doing him proud. Great story.

 

[jdz101]

Lol he tried calling Beveridge out on the segment on the afl website for not having the balls to name him

Bevo didn't need to name him...the target was obvious. And it was glorious.

 

[Northernsoul74]

 

[ExRoyboy]

I agreed with most of what he said about treloar.

Effort and body language were way off.

I didn’t agree that he was sooking about not getting midfield minutes tho.

He clearly was off but I think to say he was sooking about midfield minutes is what Bevo was talking about. Something was wrong mentally but Treloar is a high character guy so the crap about sooking was utter bullshit. Glad he hit back Adz

 

[Blinky_bill]

Sensational win boys and girls
So happy for you all and enjoy the next 2 weeks.

Sorry gotta dash and check Kane is ok.

 

[Bazzas Lovechild]

No Doubt….Bevo coaching masterclass last night. Absolutely smashed Hinkley last night. Hopefully he can repeat the dose for the Dees.,

 

[Mr. Walker]

Huge Congratulations to all the team and the club. Injury riddled year, Covid travel and accommodation travails and still they overcome. I am so very proud of this group. Must especially mention JJ, Hannan R Smith and Schache as guys I have questioned on ability or application but they delivered in spades. Well done and you have my sincere apologies.

 

[Hobdog]

Well done Doggies, I have been on your wagon for the past few months and i'm really stoked that you are in the GF.

Most people have already got the Demons name engraved on the cup, I don't.

Out of all the prelim contenders, I genuinely believe the Dogs have the Demons measure and are more than capable than toppling them.

Fox footy are replaying 1997 footage.

I can now finally say it. I’m over it! Yes!!!!!

I still can’t watch that.

 

[Libbaaaa]

Living in Geelong, the next few weeks are going to be sweet. Will make sure to wear something Bulldog related everyone I go for a run.

Also Macca should wrap up the Gary Ayres medal by today.

 

[Dogs Rule]

Hi All!
congrats on the win! You guys smashed em! Sorry for intrusion. My bro is a die hard bullies supporter (WA based) and am trying to get him tickets for the big dance! Me and other Bro keen to go along with him if possible. I know it’s random but is anyone able to provide us with their membership details so we can get priority tickets? Please PM me if so….would be so grateful….cheers

Mods, are we all clear about the legality of this? Get the feeling we'll be inundated with these 'fans'.
