Review Bulldogs get by the Swans. 105-96

[MaxiBont]

I don’t care how we did it. We did it.

We needed the 4 points and we did it.

Every top team has their bad wins and this was one of ours.

 

[Anja_Nees]

File under “Take the Win” and move on.

 

[MaxiBont]

Joel Freijah was pick 45…

 

[iambrilliant]

Sanders and Freijah made me proud

 

[Mhiggo]

What a ****ing game! I never want to hear Bramble or Naughton slander on this board again

 

[Bulldogs85]

Just Remember we got Young Joel Freijah at pick 45 and he had 23 disposals, kicked 4 goals , one goal assist and 9 score involvements

 

[Doggies_13]

Gee that was tough to watch but a lot of our stars were down and we found a way to win.

 

[KolasinskiKacamak]

Some concerning patches, but equally great responses.

Mostly from brain fades, coffield decision wise was rubbish, Bramble far exceeded and Freijah was a superstar.

Positives are stringing goals and momentum but turnovers and some dodgey free kicks.

Quiet game from Richards, Bont and Lobb. Lots of upside tough four points

was close to best on ground.

So happy that he had a great game.

 

[Struggle]

Good game from the whipping boys

Naughton and Bramble in our best 3

 

[dergert]

Coming of age game for freijah. Absolutely huge.

 

[Rocketsurgery]

For all the people slamming Bramble that was some game by him under enormous pressure too for most of that game. Well done by him

 

[adogsfan5]

Thank fu** for that. Was a tough watch.

Well done Bramble and Naughts after a shocking start.

Bont Jnr a star.

Libba needs a rest badly.

Onto the next one.

Hope tigers beat the crows.

 

[iambrilliant]

Sanders 25 disposals at 92% efficiency in a tight game is clutch

 

[Mutt]

Team win. The boys refused to lose that. We've made progress.

 

[dergert]

Bramble won the 3rd quarter for us. Proud of him. Had some solid efforts in the final quarter.

 

[Struggle]

Just Remember we got Young Joel Freijah at pick 45 and he had 23 disposals, kicked 4 goals , one goal assist and 9 score involvements

And was 1 game away from being rising star eligible this season

 

[adogsfan5]

Sanders back with the flight in the last couple mins. He’s a beauty. Just want him to back his kicking more.

 

[Hobdog]

Don’t underestimate how crap the ground is to play on just from a dimensions perspective

 

[Anja_Nees]

Gee that was tough to watch but a lot of our stars were down and we found a way to win.

I don’t really blame the players from either side - they were playing beach football effectively.

Horrible conditions.

Anyway good to see Naughton back in form and Freijah tear it up.

Bont, Libba, Richards and others all well down in their best and Swans basically cheated all night.

Glad to bank the points.

 

[Randomthoughts]

Well that’s the game we been waiting for! Only stronger from here.
Congrats Bont

 

[TheBont]

its so strange hearing toby green saying positive things about us

 

[dergert]

Sydney doctoring their ground like the Indian cricket board.

 

[doggiesin08]

Coming of age game for freijah. Absolutely huge.

Coming of 5-10 years beyond his age game!

 

[Chicago1]

I'll bloody take it!

What a contest. They toughed it out with some surprisingly good players tonight.
