Not Worth A Thread - Random Bulldog Discussion

[timtamWB]

Waylen is one that just strikes as having the talent though. Same with the couple of blokes who haven't played much footy, because the three of them have the most untapped potential, with the other blokes, what you see is what you're gonna get.

There's that ugly phrase, "untapped potential". How about Zeph Skinner? Liam Jurrah? Countless other players that just "have the talent" but for one reason or another, don't make it in the AFL. And it may sound stereotypical, but it is a trend that it is generally indigenous players that have natural talent, but due to homesickness and the intense rigors of professional football, they just don't make it.

I don't have foxtel, but surely there are the token stereotypes

Yeah, I get your point, he's clearly a long way off proving himself, and there is a lot of zeph skinner about him, but he's one recruiters would keep an eye on.
There's a reason he's been kept on the show despite his actual perfomances lacking compared to more seasoned mature footballers.

Just picked up an indigenous guernsey signed by Koby, Liam Jones and Goodesy at a charity auction for $150. Pretty happy with that. Just gotta get it framed.

I was really keen on getting a #25 indigenous guernsey and taking it down for the indigenous boys to sign.

Couldn't justify spending the money though, had just bought a Honeychurch name jumper

Post a photo when you get it framed, great piece of memorabilia!

Loved who let the dogs out at 3/4 time..should be a regular

Keen to find other twitterers

I'll add you, if you don't mind the odd political rave

4 Jackson Macrae (WB)
3 Patrick Ryder (Ess)
2 Ryan Griffen (WB)
2 Dyson Heppell (Ess)

This is definitely a worse mistake than "Jesse" Stringer. Poor Jake. I imagine he'll need therapy if he sees this.

The one at the top is a pretty bad mistake too. Should also be WB.

 

[the bee sharps]

Anyone know if you can still get the named jumpers anywhere?

That's what he was referring to

I think you can get them heat pressed on at the AFL Store/at the Whitten Oval, but I wouldn't quote me on it.

Ship's sailed on the sublimated ones though, until the next promotion if there is one.

Vossy's got them jumping outta choppers over the water and paddling 2KM back to shore

Then carrying the boats with someone in them 1KM down the beach

Waylan struggling again

Johncock and Smith are both complete campaigners and I'll be happy to see them gone.

Waylon's just not going to make it, too much of a cultural barrier.

I am good mates with someone who's brother is on the show. So obviously I am supporting them all the way.

Too much of a can't be ****ed barrier too.

Well I was going to say it... but pretty much this

Hey I don't blame the kid. He just wants to play footy not all the other bullshit that goes with modern professional football. Too bad though.

Is that a Terry Wheeler inspired challenge?

 

[Butane]

Watch the fight between Essendon and the Dogs at half time in 2000.




And then watch the final 2 minutes of the game - including Johnno running the length of the field after the game to give Barnes a serve.



Brilliant.

Was in Williamstown yesterday, I saw a very nice Mercedes with "Dogs54" number plate. Anyone know who it belongs too?

 

[maddog37]

Snoop?
