Elimination Final: W.Bulldogs v Adelaide, MCG, Sat, Sept 12th, 7.20m (AEST), 6.50pm (SA)

On the way back from the game. Game of the year for mine. Both sides did all they could to win, unfortunate one had to lose.

Dogs will hurt from this but I think it'll make them better in the long run.

That match was ******* amazing. Well done to both clubs and crows from a punting perspective.

Geez whilst I am happy the crows won some of you are being a bit harsh on the doggies and bont.

Good game and good luck in the future dogs, it's looking bright that's for sure.

And you keep telling yourself I'm bitter because I'm a hawks fan and it was a top 2 game of the year because the mighty tigers won

Don't worry, tomorrow's game will be a top 2 game because it'll set a blueprint as to how to lose 3 consecutive elimination finals.

Sorry, but Lingy is awful.

 

[Hardhat11]

I agree but it's pretty hard to consider that to be a "home" final when we have only played there two times this year!! Adelaide have played there more then we have

Yes agree but can't be used an excuse

West cost had to play a home final in Melbourne ....we had to play a grand final at Waverley

Yeah it's not ideal but can't be used an excuse

Game of year ...yeah nah .....

Sorry, but Lingy is awful.

A tape recorder with the phrases "Absolutely, Spot on and contested footy" could pretty much replace him.

 

[Hardhat11]

Minus the 10 demerit points

Yeah him and Johno brown talking would be funny

Dumb and dumber .....lol

 

[darcytiger]

Good game, zero defence from either side. Back and forth, back and forth.

We've had to play a home final against Melbourne at the MCG and won it. Anytime anywhere needs to be the mantra.

Back to Adelaide ..its two,hours away

Sorry, but Lingy is awful.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Amazing what a bit of dutch courage can do after a game like like that

 

[romeohwho]

Really good game -well done to both teams.
Crows took their chances, Doggies didn't.

 

[Confuscius]

Game of year ...yeah nah .....

What was better? I had a quick think but couldn't think of any that was better considering the stakes at play tonight.

That game tonight just showed how much skills the Dogs lack when playing outdoors. To be a good team you must be able to adapt to all conditions not just rely on playing games in the sterile sole less atmosphere of Docklands. Just can't wait to get away from that ground and play games in Ballarat.

 

[Hardhat11]

Well considering we beat them by 60 points at Etihad earlier this year then you could case a fair argument in our favour I would of thought?

Means nothing ....just enjoy your good year and be positive about the changes you've made

To be Really honest you didn't play that well tonight .....you were beaten by a better a side in the night

Are you serious, we were better we just didnt take our chances

Yup Ross Lyons Marta which I really like

 

[Doggstats]

Probably a bit of good karma got the Crows over the line considering what they've been through this year. Great effort.

Big Tex has nerves of ******* steel. Wow, the bloke just didn't miss. On the other end our youngsters were a bit overwhelmed by the pressure and missed too many easy shots.

This loss will fuel the boys though, and with Libba and Tom Boyd in the team next year, watch out.
