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

Dogs would have won it at Etihad, I reckon.

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

I never felt the dogs had control of the game .....

 

[King Bont]

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

Not using it as an excuse mate. Just feel like we need all the luck we can get considering how young our team is. And being the only team in the Comp who hasn't been granted a "home" final is unfair

Mate, we've been doing that for 15 years. Means stuff all if you can't convert. It's what makes the Hawks so good.

Right in front of me

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

Clearly Carlton v Melbourne. When the nation doubted them, they rose above it and clenched an inspirational win to lift themselves from the bottom of the ladder...only to win the spoon 2 weeks later

 

[Punchy Bassett]

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.

Actually best I've seen Tex kick for goal all year. Hasnt been great this year with that.

 

[Naked_North]

The Bulldogs fans are so melty

 

[King Bont]

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

thats bullshit and you know it. You're being a troll who's only recently joined bigfooty just as the Eagles bandwagon has started churning. Try harder next time

Yep and Hawthorn would've thumped them by 50 points next week at the G.

 

[Beauski]

You lost bulldog fans, get over it and move on with your life.

 

[SSwans2011]

Poor Bevo. Looks bitterly disappointed.

 

[dergert]

Onwards and upwards for our kids! Good luck to Adelaide for the rest of the series!

 

[Substance]

I'm actually shocked by the number of opposition fans who just can't wait to see us fail...I love it.

The moment you don't feel that after a game like that and a season like that, is the moment you don't belong doing footy.

But instead Hawks will be out in straight sets.

 

[Beauski]

There you go bulldog fans, your coach is glad they played at the MCG.

summed the night in one post! both statements spot on. positivity for the young players, and gracious in defeat.

emotions take over sometimes. i dont think you do love it.

i firmly believe most neutrals wanted the dogs to win.

 

[big bootaaaaah]

2013 grand final says hi

I just take it as a sign we are going places and some fans are pretty jealous of that. I'm sick of being everyones 2nd favourite team because that means we ain't winning premierships.

Well done Bullies, great game and a great season. Beveridge is a breath of fresh air to the senior coaching role just as Walsh was.
Some guns stood up for Adelaide in the last, Tex solid all game, Danger stood up late but for me it was Sloane and betts early that set us up and a special mention to Riley Knight, what a great first final.
It's been a long day helping my parents move house so I'm just going to crack another beer and take it in.

 

[TedDougChris]

Well done to the Crows. Hopefully this hurts and drives the Dogs players to greater heights.

What's he saying

What did he say?

what did he say

Seeing as I won't give Murdoch any of my hard earned, what was the gist of what he said?

He was doing a post-match interview in the rooms with Fox, and a few minutes in someone just walked directly through the camera and Danger just goes "oh righto" and then something very close to "I bet it was someone from bloody Channel 7, if it was a Fox person they wouldn't have done that"

Does he have a deal with Fox? Or maybe he just appreciates the better coverage, I'm not sure
