Toast Bulldogs def Swans 67-39

[Dale4captain]

Bruce looks like he really loves being at the club

If only he could get a kick! Looks a little heavy to me. Can’t get off of the ground and launch like in previous years.

 

[Leon]

Great win

Easily the better side right from the start and we showed excellent maturity when we were challenged.

Bailey Smith and the Bont are making me reconsider my atheism.

Very happy

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Interstate Game

Youngest side to ever play an AFL match

Down two on the bench by half time

Milestone game for opponent

How did we win?

Free kicks obviously.

To be fair, Sydney were rubbish tonight

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Very impressive performance.

Bont lead the way from the first bounce, the best we’ve seen from Tim and a really balanced effort from the rest of our young side. Loved the work of Rhylee West in particular.

Back to an even ledger. Very promising, hopefully more of the same against North.

 

[AFDogs]

Bang. Cracking performance. Feels good to demolish both Sydney sides.

English 2nd leading possession getter on the ground holy s**t

 

[dergert]

Really didnt think West could be so effective up forward!

We are so darn young. We will be even younger next week. Surely Weightman or Cavarra get a run

 

[Chicago1]

Bailey Smith has it all. How poised is he as a player being interviewed? He's worth MY weight in gold.

 

[Leon]

To be fair, Sydney were rubbish tonight

They were, but we were very very good as well.

 

[Bazza Bulldog]

Loved the hardness of Wallis, West, Libba and McClean. Not Picken, Morris and Boyd ... though the contested game is back.

Lippa has hopefully learned his lesson. He can play. Best game from Dale this year also.

 

[_Mike_]

There were a few mistakes around the ground but overall criticism isnt warranted for their effort tonight. Glad they got the job done.

 

[Libba39]

Really even effort tonight. Even whipping boys like Dale and Bruce had moments and never stopped trying.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Back on track!

Hope injuries aren’t too bad.

 

[AFDogs]

McLean has gone from a posession getting mid, to a crafty forward, to an absolute tackling-hard at it machine. The dude changes his game every year.

 

[wian]

Gutsy effort tonight with 2 down....

Bailey Smith on next level now. West just belongs... Lipinski and English best career games..

Great to see Bailey Dale bounce back and have a decent game..

Thought Vandemeer did some nice things too..

 

[ossie_21]

Free kicks obviously.

Without those extra 3 free kicks, it means we don’t win the contested ball +24, clearances +4, +9 contested marks, 4 less turnovers and our defence holding up better than the opposition with the same inside 50s.

 

[fronkalicious]

Who saw Bailey Williams' playing this well last year? Dude was great in the first half.

Wallis is such a good Dickson replacement!

Ummmm, me.....

 

[weltschmerz]

I'm sure West will be in Lloyd's position in the starting 18 next week.

 

[Dazb86]

Good win in the end. 2 players down early rarely ends well.

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

Love the development of Bailey Williams this year.

Has always shown the class/ability but is doing the super basics/one percenters now and playing his game with a lot more control.

Would be extremely high in our B&F currently.

 

[mjones3333]

Great first half, good grind out the second half given 2 on the bench and a couple of short turnaround games. Lots to like with the young guys, English a breakout game, West was impressive. Bruce showed good forward pressure, looking forward to seeing what he can do if our delivery to him improves.
All round good performance!!

 

[Doggy Dan]

Concerned that Bruce looks like he’s pretty happy to roll through the next 4 years on his $700k without breaking a sweat. Very, very fat at the moment.

 

[ManOfClay]

Great leaps taken by English the past two weeks.

Bont set the game up. Bailey Smith is an absolute jet and is the best mid from his draft. Only reason he doesn’t go number one in a redraft is the King brothers potentially

 

[Dale4captain]

Those calling for Josh Scache will get their wish now. How far off is Doc?

 

[Chicago1]

We're playing North next on the Fourth of July! Perhaps the club can sneak a certain American into the match to celebrate? I'll bring my own fireworks and mask.
