You'll have to subscribe to my newsletter for that. Not wasting my best gear on a main board thread.

How much does your best gear cost??

Asking for a friend.

Much less than before that campaigner Andrew Wilkie addressed parliament last month. Demand has dropped off since then for some reason.

Yeah much prefer the Swans win it over almost any other team. Particularly the Vic teams but also Port/Suns. The one thing against them is that they are peaking at the wrong time.

Well, the more finals the Swans win this year the more we get to see Blakey play so that's a positive at least. Love watching him. He's pretty unique

He is at that. He can sometimes run himself into trouble but I love seeing him streaming out of defence. A very good kick too.

 

[BFVirgin]

One of those things is not like the others.

You were probably home anyway. But he’s not kicking that goal ffs.

He kicks the goal or it falls short and someone else snaps a goal or nothing else predictable happens. Dogs still needed to kick 2 or 3 goals. Unlikely.

We have Bramble, the king of running himself into trouble.

I think I claimed that mantle from him when I traded him into my SuperCoach team earlier this year.

Admittedly I did not know much about him but I remembered thinking in the 3rd quarter "Bramble seems to get tackled a lot"

I don't think the Swans enjoy playing grand finals.

That would be the concern - make it to the grand final and then bottle it. Losing 3 in 8 years is not good.

Funny, I remember thinking in the 3rd quarter "this swans team can't win a flag"

We have Zac Bailey.. back this week by popular demand

Fine line between "cash cow" and "cow"

Thanks for sharing mate.

Don’t think Sydney were quite that dominant in 2016, they only spent 3 weeks on top of the ladder. Think people forget how close that season was, they only won 1 more game than we did in 7th place

Actually the we were two wins higher than you.

Western bulldog supporters still creating their own fan fiction about 2016 I see. Nothing ever changes.

You really did make a mess of things didn’t you. Epic choke.

Sydney were pumped in week 1 of the finals, by a team that we beat in the prelim two weeks later.

The dogs had 4 impressive wins through September. The Swans had 1, against Geelong. Thanks for that by the way. We weren’t beating Geelong.

The Swans couldn’t beat the dogs in 2015 at the SCG, 2016 at the SCG, nor in the GF at the MCG. None of these are our home ground.

In the grand final, Sydney had a long list of players who significantly underperformed on the day including Parker, Papley, Tippett, Rohan, Mills, McVeigh, McGlynn, Hewett and Smith.

Xavier Richards played in the GF and never played another game. Hardly a player that was deserving of a premiership, especially when you consider he was Sydney’s tallest defender on the day and Tom Boyd ran around largely as he pleased.

Conversely, Josh Kennedy was enormous and should have been deemed best on ground. But he had very few mates that day.

None of this is fiction. It all happened.

Sneaky.

In fact, when the final siren blew on GF day in 2016, both Sydney and the Bulldogs had an identical 19-7 record.

No Dog fan fiction there.

Bulldogs supporters use the word 'season' to make it sound like they had an equally good regular season as the swans did in 2016. Which they didn't. They won two games less than we did.

Thankfully, the season runs March-September and not just to August.

You finished two wins below us in the regular season. You had two convincing wins in September and got gifted two.

I can't believe this thread is still going a week after the game finished
