Preview Changes for Elimination Final vs Bombers (UTAS Sun 3.20pm)

[the dog's kennel]

I think he is 100 per cent right about we lack Leadership, it has shown in the last 3 games and at other times when we have been challenged during the home away and season Its not Bonts fault he is young but after Bont I see nobody knocking at the door with leadership skills in 2022

There IS someone else with leadership skills. Mitch #$%#ing Wallis. I've been a broken record about this, I know, but he should have played against Port. And he absolutely should play now. I'm not holding my breath though!

What a difference a month makes....no one was saying any such thing after we beat Melbourne.

Because we where not shit then

I should probably save this for the Changes thread. But there IS someone else with leadership skills. Mitch #$%#ing Wallis. I've been a broken record about this, I know, but he should have played against Port. And he absolutely should play now. I'm not holding my breath though!

I think Hunter did until he went off the rails last year

Have a read of this Disney, Baines, and Crant



Bomber fans travelled to Launceston from across the state in an almost exclusively Tasmania-based crowd given border restrictions.

appreciated the support for the team.


"I love the way our Bombers fans turned up and supported ... and we were pleased they could go home with bragging rights for a week," he said.

Crowd, atmosphere show Launceston's AFL potential

The game was held on Sunday.

Because we where not sh*t then

The vulnerabilities were there all along, it's just that it took Essendon to figure out how to exploit them.

 

[immortalmike]

You were one of the only posters on here who didn't get sucked in to thinking we were legit contenders. I wish I'd listened to you earlier this year before getting my hopes up and then ultimately shattered.

I didn't want to be right.
Couldn't wait for the tags and quote backs.

Very bizarre if we chose Tassie voluntarily just because of fly in/out.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Dogs could have picked GC or Gabba without having as strict like at AO I would have thought.

This is one of the weakest choices the club has made in a long time

 

[Del203211]

People do realise it’s a dogs home game. Dogs members in tassie will get first dibs. It’s not going to be 15,000 Essendon fans.

No why would we do that its a whole 2 hour flight

Probably end up playing Brisbane anyway if the Dogs won.

 

[Del203211]

Why? What if we win and we’re stuck in iso until the Tuesday in Melbourne when we need to be preparing for a semi final? Theres also a lot of waiting around in South Australia.

 

[DueWest]

Geelong are on the other side of the draw. We’d play the loser of Melbourne v Brisbane.

In Brissie regardless of result

Come on Dr Phil there is about just as many Bulldog members in Tassie as there is naked red head men running around Dubai at the moment about 2 in my view Your missing the point even if the small stadium holds 20 K and 13 K are Bomber fans and 2 K fans are Bulldog fans how bad will that look for our club Watch this space before the game Brayshaw shouts in his annoying voice look at this crowd is i this a Bombers home final

 

[The Bomb]

I'm pretty sure Wright will never kick 7 again in his career regardless of the opposition

Goes bang another 7 today?

It will be a capped 10k crowd I would assume too so if in Tas get every tassie dogs support to get on board and leave Essendon **** all, take family and friends

Making a pretty good first of it today. 4 by half time.

 

[Dog 36]

Just heard on 3AW Dogs v Bumbers at York park Launceston.

Did Dogs choose this or were we strongly encouraged to play there?

Rumour is chose to as no quarantine requirement

the crowd the last time the Bombers played in Tassie spot the Hawk fan

do people watch footy for enjoyment or is it just another place to throw tantrums.

It’s been a tough run. Ages into a pandemic with no end in sight. The club has fought so well for us all year and deserve our love and to some extent our faith and belief. This mob is a bunch of fighters that has had some recent adversity. We lost our leading goal kicker and our ruck and midfield has lost their mojo.

but we are lucky enough to have one last chance to ignite a fire and have these great fellas put smiles back on our faces once more. They might not manage it but they sure as hell can and I think we should get excited at the prospect.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Can’t believe some of the sooking because the club has chosen not to do a 3 day quarantine. Have a ****ing heart, these people are humans not livestock.

And take note how the bumers are kicking the ball to him
Out in front in space and up high so wright can easily run and jump at it marking everything all over 3 pies defenders

Please dogs can we do this for Naughton
