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

[Mutt]

That’s not true at all. This season so far, we’ve had 11 out of our 15 games shown live on Channel 7. If we include Good Friday, we’ve had 6 Friday night games. That would be more than just about every other mob.

Personally, I’d prefer they gave us less free-to-air slots and more Saturday afternoon games to go to, but that’s another matter.

That's this season....we play a lot of games historically on Fox that are not broadcast free to air.

Bailey Williams said on Sen Dunkley was flying and should return in 2-3 weeks, treloar a bit longer but should be before the eoy.

Interesting. My Hun is reporting she will be doing overtime at work today.

Calling your partner HUN wait to the cancel culture society get hold of you and bring you down for the above comment

I think Hun is a preferential term of endearment to the possible alternatives, e.g. Attila.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I have an acquaintance on Facebook who responds to every reply with "Thanks, hun". Makes my toes curl.

As a Woke Leftie Millennial (TM), "hun" in my social circles is mostly used to describe the kind of person who tries to get you to join her pyramid scheme.

Dunkley is due next week against GC

Wasn't that the Bailey DALE goal they described at the beginning???? Have they got our Baileys mixed up?

Im 100 years old so when I get a telegram about Huns. Its time to load all my belongings into a cart as the Germans crossing the border and murdering babies.

He’s clearly been experiencing some residual pain that stuck around post surgery and prevented him from ramping up his recovery. Obviously that’s improved in the last few days so they can begin increasing his training loads.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see him back in 3-4 weeks unless the pain flares up.

In the woke world are we allowed to mention the war? ( Hasn’t the BBC banned that episode? Astounding )

Nah definitely Williams, late in the 2nd qtr.

Sure. I just did.

The 'offending' episode is still available to view on the BBC streaming service as well as elsewhere.

 

[Scott Tracy]

Not sure this has been discussed but Bont didn't win goal of the round last week. I can't believe that.

If it's from supporter votes we're never going to win those things.

Goal/mark of the week is just a popularity contest. Don't pay it any attention.

Article in the hun about the top 100 paid players in the league.

#50-100 listed today.

Of note (approx /estimates).

For us:

JJ $600k
Hunter $600k
English $675k

For others (unders / overs?)

Talia $625k
Nic Nat $625k
Hanneberry $650k
Hurley $675k
Ziebell $700k
Billings $700k
Polec $725k
Mitch MCGovern $725k


I presume top 50 comes out tomorrow.

This is where i find it hard to take some people on our board with negative comments on our fringe players on small coin, approx 100k.
Is English 6x the player Lewy is. Nope
Is JJ 6x the player Lin Jong, McNeill or Scott is. Nope
This ain't the English premiers league where you can go out and drop 150 million pounds on upgrading your team.
We have a salary cap that demands some players are paid like superstars like the Bont, ( he earns every bit of his salary) and some players earning minimum coin.

Instead of going off on our players that are busting their guts on minimum AFL wage, let's statistically evalute the players who are paid very handsomely that go missing against a team like north like JJ, or timmy who got a bathing against a 33 year old goldy.

 

[footscray1973]

So the "Treloar might not play again this year" narrative was just Bevo trolling the media for fun then?



Well played coach.

 

[SupercededMan]

I think we are the big dogs at the moment, top of the ladder, Brownlow favourite etc. The media needs us more than we need them at the moment, Bevo can treat them with the disdain they deserve.

Tell that to 360 and "On the Couch". Both tv shows continue to ignore us. Sure, the North win was not a big story, but a change to the top of the ladder IS.
