    Workshop Jumper Ideas for 2026

    Definitely need to raise the hoops back to where they were historically. But the true royal blue we have now with Asics looks better and contrasts much better against all the dark teams in the league.

    Prediction Changes v Cats (Thurs 22 May, 7:30pm @ Alphabet)

    Surely Libba goes to Smith? He’ll know just the right things to say to him to get under his skin (if Smith can understand him, I can’t). Libba to crunch him all night, physically and verbally, mentally and emotionally. Just persistent punishment.

    Not Worth A Thread - Random Bulldog Discussion - Part 2

    She’s a tough campaigner and I too love seeing her around. I love the way she speaks in interviews and speeches. I think her and Gordon had a falling out? Like Bevo and Grant, love them all but running professional football is difficult and sometimes this stuff happens.

    Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 7 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

    I always thought he was Bob Murphy like, cool with the footy and graceful and was a little frustrated he’d only play in Ballarat. Mitch Hannan and others like McComb were getting games ahead of him. We, like the coaches, could see he had potential. And it’s still potential with him to me, a few...

    Coach Future of the club (Bevo, board, assistant coaches, football department)

    I’d give him 3 more years right now. He’s been great since Pratt and Egan have been brought in. And unfortunately for us all Bevo and the great man Chris Grant had fallen out, it happens in life sometimes, and one had to go.

    Coach Future of the club (Bevo, board, assistant coaches, football department)

    Late 2023 I thought he’d lost the players. Even if he hadn’t, he wasn’t going well and his coaching was suffering badly because of where his head was at.

    Bulldogs, Melbourne, St Kilda and North, which side has the greatest potential for future growth? Which the least?

    The Westgate Bridge opened in 1978. This opened up the western suburbs to Melbourne much more than it previously was. Towns like Williamstown, not far as the crow flies from Melbourne, was quite isolated back in the day and had a distinctive independent culture from Melbourne. Footscray also had...

    Review Bulldogs cruise to 91-point victory over Bombers

    Not for Gardiner at all. But if he doesn’t improve he will be making way for Darcy.

    Bulldogs, Melbourne, St Kilda and North, which side has the greatest potential for future growth? Which the least?

    Maybe North could go to Bendigo (North) like the Bulldogs have done with Ballarat (West)? Bendigo and Ballarat have always had remarkably similar populations and growth. It is Aussie rules heartland, big population. Regional Victoria has a massive population and is accessible to the capital city...

    Review Bulldogs cruise to 91-point victory over Bombers

    Keep the Saints on that Sunday night because the Essendon game is bigger whenever it’s played. Make the Easter Sunday game something special. Unfortunately I go away at Easter and it’s an important family ritual (actually with other Bulldogs family too)

    Review Bulldogs cruise to 91-point victory over Bombers

    18 teams is a massive competition. We are playing with such teamwork, and dare and vision that it’s a sight to behold. But we are one of 5 teams with a genuine chance of the premiership (Collingwood, Brisbane, Hawthorn and Geelong the others) I can’t see anyone else with a realistic shot at the...

    Vale Adam Selwood

    We can fund mental health more and more and that’s ok. But that is addressing the symptoms once people are getting into that unhealthy state. There needs to be much more prevention. Thinking patterns need to be addressed from an early age, we’ve become much too emotional as a society these last...

    Willie Rioli "on leave" from Port Adelaide after social media post

    Does Willy want to be treated differently from everyone else or the same? If it’s the same, he has to accept being called fat or a stoner whatever. Young men’s banter is brutal but has always been there and creates a thick skin. If Willy wants to be treated differently, let everyone know and...

    Jumper clash fails

    That’s exactly where the problem was, it was slightly difficult, far from impossible, but not intuitive and instant like it is when the contrast between guernsey’s is very clear.

    Jumper clash fails

    It wasn’t a super bad clash last night but also it wasn’t a great clash either and was commented on in our lounge room. No where near as good as Dogs v Suns the week before, both games both teams in full one colour kits essentially. The red v blue contrast was mint, peak perfect clash.

    What They're Saying - The Bulldogs Media Thread - Part 4

    100% correct. This is why podcast are better. But we can have banter without degrading someone. It’s just that Bob got on his high horse about Aker, (who was correct and caring in his article) and this is a a pretty off thing to say, Marty Shergold lost his job over a joke that went wrong (which...

    What They're Saying - The Bulldogs Media Thread - Part 4

    Bob Murphy in a bit of hot water over his comments about Sharnal Vella his co-host. I listen to Bob for some part most mornings, but missed the ‘gaffe’, and the apology the next day. He suggested Sharnal worked at a strip club when she was younger! Sharnal accepted the apology to a degree but...

    No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs only - Part 5

    To know the bullshit modern corporations, government departments and universities follow these days is just word salad bs I get it. It’s even creeping into the construction industry, we know it when we hear it. The AFL is as bad as it gets, and because of this look at the mess they’ve created in...

    Not fussed on Poulter but you have to reward VFL form. All players are playing their role thus far this season.

    Geelong rorting the system

    ‘Cut throat’ sport doesn’t mean you act like dog shit. Ross Lyon leaving St Kilda the first time is an example of cut throat but shit. I’d rather win being a good sport than underhanded tactics.

    Geelong rorting the system

    No one liked, but we thought both parties would be mature and professional about it, obviously we were wrong, they were neither.

    Geelong rorting the system

    Because Cotton-On is a major Geelong sponsor and he couldn’t be lured until his contract was up. The GFC didn’t have the integrity to even wait until free agency, just a sporting predator.

    Geelong rorting the system

    There is no doubt Cotton-On played a deceitful role in luring Bailey Smith to Geelong. Whether it was totally premeditated from the beginning is where the debate should be. Did they lure Bailey once he was with them or before? Either way it’s pretty unsporting.

    Im trying to show some of the misguided philosophies that the upper echelons of the corporate world now engage in. Many are very esoteric to most regular people, but are having real world consequences for these so-called leaders in the poor decisions or non decisions they are making. Dillon...

    Nothing to do with the US. Equality of opportunity is fundamental to who we are. The equality in DEI means equality of outcomes, and is actually not treating people equally ultimately. Example is Willy, if anyone else had sent what he had sent he would have been punished immediately as he...

    Dillon and especially Kane seem to be very keen on DEI and all the nonsense that surrounds such misguided philosophies. If they somehow think they can make ethical decisions like those needed for Willy Rioli, or anything similar, and put the stupid DEI mathematical equations into their minds and...

    Opinion Bailey Smith

    Was there a picture of Bailey there in Psychology Today? Because this sums him up perfectly.
