7 Two Digital - Bulldogs Games

[Spiritof82]

For those interested, just noticed in the bottom of the TV guide the new 7 digital channel is showing some AFL games at the small hours of the morning. Thursday morning 0130 Dogs vs Eagles rd 21 1999 and at 0330 there's Dogs vs Pies Rd 15 2009. On Friday morning at 0130 they have Dogs vs Tiggers Rd 17 2001 and on Sat morning at 0130 again there's Dogs vs Aints first prelim 2009.
There's two games shown each morning and some days there's other teams shown but at least the doggies do get a bit of air time and the good thing its the old games where we can watch Grant play again.

Funny how that Dogs/Tigers game from 2001 involved a crucial Nathan Brown incident in front of goal with seconds remaining. Cost us finals that year.

Don't think you will find many bulldogs supporters watching that game buddy.

I know, just added it because it's a Doggies game.

The round 22 game from 1998 is actually one I'd love to watch again. Probably the best game of the year from a neutral supporter's point of view.

That was a belter. Bubba and Granty in full flight!

Looks like the footy flashback programs have been replaced by home shopping bullsh1t, just four days after the new channel launched.
Absolutely Pathetic.

Great game, s**t result.

Ah yes, now I remember

Think Dunstall had a night out, kicked 12 or so.

Good times

It shouldn't be that game. The "theme" seems to be close games.

And thread merge

 

[Cudi]

Any chance of them showing a match we win

 

[Dancing Dougy]

God, you'd give you're left leg to have Grant in todays team wouldn't you

Add a few more, Darcy dominating ruck, Libba tagging their best, West racking them up as usual and I hate to say it, but Brown always snapping them when needed. Always liked Robbins as well, gave his all and was capable of absolute brilliance.

It's a shame that Ellis never really turned into the player he could have. Had a really good 6-12 months where he could have been anything, but...

I thought it was an odd choice of game. I actually had to look twice to make sure i'd looked up the right game.

I take full responsibility.

In the late 90's the Dogs came over th Perth for a preseason game and afterwards there was a meet the team in the Subiaco Club rooms.

I'd had a few beers by then and I fronted Ellis and told him it was time for him to step up and play to his best consistently, the team needed him, he was the key... blah blah.
Anyway I don't think he ever played well after that.

My mate always reckons that with that outburst I ended Ellis's career.

Sorry. My bad!

i'm keen to see Dogs vs Dons at Colonial, RD 21 2000. EPIC

i was 8 years old at the time yet will never ever forget it.

So it's 100% that game?

If they are OK to slow hammerings hopefully they show the DOgs vs RIchmond game where we beat them by 110-odd.

They seem to be showing a few different types of games. The green guide has them down as frantic finishes, grand finals and AFL superstars so i presume thats why Dunstall kicking 12 is there.

Didn't notice the superstars bit. Makes sense now.

Round 21, 1999 v West Coast - and why not the Round 23, 1992 game?

7TWO will be having at least its second showing of the Western Bulldogs v West Coast match from Round 21 of 1999 this Saturday morning. It was a thrilling game in which the Bulldogs got up by two points after leading all day. It was a preview of the First Qualifying Final two weeks later in which the Eagles reversed the result (I have the very last part as a preview to a copy I was given of the 1983 Qualifying Final).

When I think of this game, I wonder the more why 7TWO cannot or do not want to show the Round 23, 1992 game between the same pair of clubs and played minus a day exactly seven years apart - which was like the 1999 game a critical battle for finals positions. What happened in the 1992 game still amazes me. In torrential rain and high winds the Eagles kicked only two behinds to three-quarter time! However, the fact that a team which did this won the premiership is, one reflection, not nearly so flukish as might be thought. Wet weather (or at least muddy grounds) historically seems to have always disfavoured teams like the Eagles and Carlton of that era who relied on skilled backmen to defeat powerful attacks by consistently winning one-on-one contests.

Would you love 7TWO to show the 1992 game? Do you think it can teach people not old enough to have seen or read about it from the time anything?
