No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs Only - Part 6

[dogwatch]

Off season. The worst season on Big Footy.

 

[TiAn_]

Dude you sound too emotional to be a parent if you can't understand you can support your son by making him take responsibility for his actions and helping him become a better person instead of helping him avoid accountability

Bit weird you didn't answer this and continue to attack anyone with no sympathy for the perpetrator or his family

You seem genuinely unhinged about this, so you keep going off like a loon and I’ll be parking it here.

In fairness,I could be the bloke on the Death Star in charge of destroying planets & my mum would still think I fart rainbows

 

[Mutt]

We've given talk about the Silvagni's a lot of latitude but it's now time to close that discussion down.

There are plenty of other forums on this site and elsewhere if you feel a strong urge to continue discussing it.

being overlooked by the Swans in the 2015 Draft.





He applies reasoning and logic. You don't always get them right.

His question about whether he would have remained at the Swans is certainly an interesting one. As we know, he left the WB for more opportunity as a full time midfielder. Would he have been given that role in the early years at the Swans? Probably not. He would have been competing against Tom Mitchell in those early years for a midfield position. Would Dunks' attitude / mindset resulted in him still requesting a trade for more opportunities? It's definitely possible.

In hindsight, knowing then what he knew now, absolutely Beatson gets Dunkley to the Swans. But that's hindsight.

A little weird because it was widely reported that they didn’t bid on him to let him stay in Victoria. I’m pretty sure it was noted pre-draft that he wasn’t going to nominate as a father son initially because he wanted to stay in Victoria but had got worried about interest from interstate (West Coast if I remember correctly)

The generous deal that got Dunkley to the Dogs

AFL.com.au reveals the deal that brought Josh Dunkley to the Dogs

www.afl.com.au

Does say that it was a recruiter not at the Dogs or Swans that was a source in the article but everything made complete sense at that time. I think they are still worried they’d get in trouble for draft tampering. They did very well to find Jordan Dawson

Interesting to read that Port drafted one of Butters best mates in Watkins after passing on him multiple times over the last few years.

Has abit of last chance saloon about it.

Beatson is a good operator and done a great job at the Swans.

Riddells Creek boy as well

Certainly appears that Lachie has been frolicking in a different field.

Culture issues up at the Lions?

That's pretty common for football players.

I know personally of a few

It is a pattern of behaviour now for their captains. Wonder what dunks thinks about this lol

Probably enjoying having three premiership medals on his wall and not thinking much about his teammate's marriage

More likely plotting a bid for the captaincy so he can level up from servo pie sponsorships to cash converter ones probably

I would take Dunkley back in a heart beat - throw him the Butters war chest at the campaigner. Our boys don’t cheat on their missus anymore

Surely if Neale steps down Andrews just captains solo

Doe he fit their culture though? Could go for a threepeat of cheating captains

Winning trumps ....... everything

Our club is the outlier. We are so 2016

I spent Christmas Day arguing with the in-laws who all go for Essendope. Had a great 1-2 with an uncle who claimed Essendon would have finished top 4 if it wasn’t for their injuries last year. Repeated the claim they were shafted due to the drugs saga (‘no positive tests’) Claimed that I shouldn’t be so smug because we have the best list in the comp ( his claim , not mine) and can’t make finals.

They are truely brainwashed over there. Their list is abysmal, their coach a petulant child and their board absolutely delusional. No wonder their fans can’t get a grip on reality.

Just repeated that I would probably only take Merrett in our side from theirs. Even then he’d be lucky to get midfield mins and they were mad to not trade him. They are bottom 3 for me, think North finish above them.

Sounds like a Merry Christmas at the Bob household . That's what Christmas is for, isn't it?
