Autopsy Bulldogs kick 7.1 in the last quarter to win a thriller 111-106

[MaxiBont]

One of the best last quarters I’ve seen us play in a while

Richards absolutely huge in that last quarter.

Lobb was huge the whole night.

[TheScriptorWL]

How that siren felt. After such a history of slow starts.

 

[Some Idiot]

Not really sure what just happened

Tim English has ice in he’s veins

 

[MaxiBont]

Sellwood laid some of the hardest tackles I’ve seen for us in some time.

is elite

 

[_Mike_]

That was pretty damn good considering Cameron was killing them, the home crowd, numerous 50m penalties etc.

Gutsy comeback!

 

[Bald Headed Flog]

Can’t believe we might actually be a real football team finally. Budarick was a godsend holy shit

 

[Deadly Darcy]

We arguably won that by 4 goals if you take the crap umpiring out.

That’s the best I’ve seen us play in years. Against a truly outstanding side in Brisbane.

The lid is off and I’m cancelling all plans for September.

Go YOU GOOD THINGS!!!

 

[weltschmerz]

 

[Anja_Nees]

One of the best round one performances I can remember all up.

The misses were frustrating but hit Brisbane in the end too. Greasy conditions and heat probably a big factor.

 

[WAbulldog]

Season defining win, though we were cooked in the third but they kept on fighting and managed to hold on. So bloody proud of this team.

 

[Howyagarnn]

Last year we would've dropped our heads and got pumped, huge grit!

 

[Deadly Darcy]

That was pretty damn good considering Cameron was killing them, the home crowd, numerous 50m penalties etc.

Gutsy comeback!

Cameron was outstanding and we still got them.

And to come back in that last 3 minutes!

WOW

 

[WAbulldog]

Also easily best win since the 2021 preliminary final.

 

[Selim]

26 points down umps against us all night and we flipping stuck it right up em

one of the great wins that

 

[Testekill]

It will be very hard to beat this for Game of the Year.

Nobody is beating Williams for Goal of the Year though

Is this a record? It's not even Round 1 yet!

Yes, but let's not get on our high horses, we have high expectations and we want those expectations finally met. We all want the best for the club, we all want success.

Some in here get very emotional (me included), but I doubt there's anyone who doesn't want the club to be successful and to have wins like tonight.

I was one of them, because it looked like we were doing the same ****ing thing we always do - stay in it, butcher our chances, get a close loss and say “oh well maybe next time”.

Brisbane helped us out with some butchery but the boys were enormous in that last quarter. Let’s hope that exorcised some demons, they can execute under pressure like good teams do and this is the start of a great season.

 

[TheScriptorWL]

Dare I say it. Usually the Gold standard for matches to show AFL beginners is the 2016 Prelim against GWS.

If History is kind to it. This could overtake it, probably a better representation of modern Football.
