What They're Saying - The Bulldogs Media Thread - Part 3

[Chicago1]

And Toby kicks another goal! "We love you 'cause you're a Victorian!" Errr... no!

 

[Fossie 32]

Didn't know where to put this so thought I'd post here

I've been going through some footy podcasts from other clubs to get a feel for how they've been tracking over preseason and what the expectations are for 2020. Most fan podcasts are more knowledgeable and have more civilized discussion than mainstream media will get you

I haven't been able to find a Bulldogs podcast though. The only one I can find is the official club one but I'm looking for a fan podcast. Every other club has at least one, even the Suns and GWS. It seems there was one Bulldogs one from 2 or 3 years ago but it didn't last. Does one exist? If not it seems like it's a gap in the market waiting to be filled by some keen Doggies supporters

Were both of the GWS fans on there?

Hrovat and Honeychurch were NEVER going to make it

I never saw a single instance either of them made me think they could be decent players at AFL level

I thought I saw a whisper of talent in Honey. Never saw anything in Hrovat, never liked that pick.

Really? If anything I would've said the opposite. Though both were deficient in size and kicking ability, I thought Hrovat played a handful of good games for us and had some talent.

After Hrovat’s first few games, a few people said he looked like an easy 200+ game player

Much dishonour for Bont after being pawned by Cripps

Meh I remember Griffen owning Gary Abblett Junior once.

Turned out a bit different for the two of those.

 

[Mattdougie]

Both were spuds from day one and due to their size needed to be even better than most.

Honey wasn’t good enough at any one position to even try and force a spot and Hrovat was the worst “elite” kick(as some suggested) I’ve ever seen.

both had tiny moments but I’d suggest any decent park footy player would have a couple of moments if they hit a chance

 

[Beasley]

Thank heavens that game is out of the way and none of our three players sustained an injury!
would have been pissed if we lost a player to a long tern injury in a rep match.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Young Dog dominates intraclub, can 'without a doubt' join elite pair

Tim English can without a doubt join the likes of Brodie Grundy and Max Gawn in the elite ruckman category, according to teammate Sam Lloyd

Think Honey as a small forward showed something. Not a lot but something. Never saw anything in Hrovat. As MD said, when you’re that size you need something to set you apart. Neither had it.

And Toby kicks another goal! "We love you 'cause you're a Victorian!" Errr... no!

My 11 y/o old said I hope we play (and beat) GWS in the grand final, and during the game Toby Green tries to punch one of our players but misses and punches himself in the face then accidentally runs into the goal posts and knocks himself out.

Can't disagree. I seem to have parented well.

Have you been nominated for Father of the Year yet?

 

[ivan rassmussen]

Have you been nominated for Father of the Year yet?

Given the flavour of those currently ‘in charge’, I’d expect Green’s ‘father’ to be nominated.

 

[stefoid]

Can someone say what part of the ground english was covering? Im hoping he runs up and down the center, he will be an absolute PITA to the opposition running both ways

Honeychurch: 35 games, hrovat 69 games. fair footy careers. 99.5% of us did not even get one game.

John Shultz is the guest on the podcast This Is Your Sporting Life this week.

Fantastic! Thanks for the heads up.
Great podcast series and Gentleman John’s story should be a ripper.
For the younger ones on here that don’t know of John Shultz he’s a Bulldogs ruck legend, Brownlow Medallist that also just happens to be a dead ringer for Tim English (at the same age of course). He also presented the 2016 premiership cup to Bevo.

Agreed. You don't play 50+ AFL games with no talent.

 

[Sharkey66]

Agreed. You don't play 50+ AFL games with no talent.

Think if honey could kick straight at goal he might still be on the list

 

[weltschmerz]

Fun little video. Trenners puts essential oils in the beard. McLean cuts his own hair.

Take a listen to Easton Wood making Sam McLure sound like an idiot during an interview today. Completely calls out Sam’s lack of understanding in our list. For some reason I always feel that Sam dislikes the dogs. I think he buys into the Bont Cripps rivalry and is jealous of the comparative success of the two young teams.

Naughton was actually first over the regular season with 53, Lynch only first due to more finals. Maclure sounded like a knob when he said we don’t have any true big marking targets.

We legitimately have 2 of the top 5 from last season.

They talk about big targets, and first that came to Sam's mind was Schache. Pretty much sums up his footy knowledge

He is a Carlton man. It’s not like he has a choice.... Once born Carlton, you can’t escape the destiny of ignorant self importance that permeates every part of that club.
