Sadly enough, you're about to find out how little football means to him.

Let me spell it out for you... He has no ticker. None whatsoever.

I was going to post hate back but remembered it's not the McDougall way.

Could I possibly interest you in a Doogs' Droogs membership?

We effectively traded pick 61 for Doogs and pick 66, I don't think there is that much to be afraid of.

You missed the point.

If you after a player with no heart, one who is aloof and laconic, Doogs is the one.
Glad to see the back of him....
 
I'm on the bandwagon.
Let's wait to see the West Coast supporters say we ripped them off when he kicks 5 against them and wins us the game.
 
I really fail to see how he's just going to come to us and rip it up after years of apparently being a lazy bastard.

I'm all for the winning and stuff and hope he's something close to what we need, but you know... There really seems to be a familar quality about him...

Thanks for spelling it out with such clarity, but I am not too bright so had to use dictionary.com to help me understand.

Ticker:
a telegraphic receiving instrument that automatically prints stock prices, market reports, etc., on a paper tape.

I can't believe we have traded for a guy that doesn't have one of these. :(

That's what talented but lazy players do sometimes. I know a guy who had been cutting corners at work as much as possible, but then he decided he wanted to change his reputation and be good at his job, and that guy is now the hardest working and best shipping whatsit there is. :)

I think you are imagining the familiar quality, probably based on not having seen him play much. The KPP's we have traded for recently have been battler types (Jade, Bassett, Morgan, Bartlett) whereas Doogs' is a wayward talent.

I think some people still underrate just how cheaply we have picked Doogs up. He is a 1st round pick that has shown he can do some stuff at AFL level, and we got him for nothing. Morgan and Bassett, who had done much less in their careers before joining us then Doogs has, and had no reputation for being particularly talented, each cost us a third round pick IIRC.

Mods please delete the last 2 posts, this is a place to worship Doogs, not for throwing mud (and boy don't we have an expert in that field in Pembleton).

Now i am an expert at throwing mud? I thought i was supposed to be mud? I have never seen mud thrown by mud. I think Rocco has problems with his noggin.

Said person has spent all day on internet cos he burnt himself out last night.

Fair point though. I think traded KPP and i think of the host of ******** guys we've had...

Like i said, hopeful i'm wrong, happy to be, but all i can think of is this Barts/Jade/James type Super Dud.

BTW: Seen the Football Board? :D

I have never heard those things said about Doogs, you must be a detective or something equally as clever and insightful, thank you for the information.

BTW If you look close enough (and they shouldn't be hard for someone with your expertise) you might find that you have also missed the point of this thread.
 
you can put me on the droogs standby list rocco.

Having probably never seen him play or paid any attention to him i believe i cannot qualify for the honour of being a droog of the doog.

When i complete my assessment i'll formally upgrade or revoke my status.


your sincerely

cd.


p.s. as a droog member do we get a membership pack including top hat, cane, make up and padded white jock strap?
 
Despite the preachings of Rocco, I still have some doubts...Are concession memberships available?

If Doogs live up to Rocco's hype, i'll upgrade mid-season.

Why does this thread remind me of last year's pre-season thread about joining the K-Mac bandwagon?
 
McDougal undoubtedly has talent..

Kicked 35 goals in 2004? Something like that anyway.

2005 the big Unit stepped in while Doogs was injurred.

2006 the big Unit made FF his own.

Sorry, guys, I'm not a big follower of the Western Bulldogs. Infact, I don't even follow football nearly as passionately as anyone here, who are Daniel Cross and Lindsey Gilbee?

Back when I did follow football a little more passionately, you guys had a different coach, and I'd never heard of these guys? I know they aren't recent draft picks like Ryan Griffen - for example.

...Maybe you traded for them? But I'm sure I'd have remembered them from someone elses list?

Oh! OR maybe you guys got a new coach... and I'd assume had many new assistants and such - but I'm not sure about that. Just MAYBE someone on your coaching panel knows how to get people who may have been in the system for a couple of years but not fulfilling their potential to step it up a notch.

Now I'm probably just crazy, but isn't a 22/23? year old Forward/Ruckmen playing for his career a better option then a 28/29 year old Forward/Defender with busted knees who is playing for his giant contract?

Don't compare doogs to rawlings or anyone.

He is his own player.

There is EVERY chance he will fail, but you know you've given nothing for him. Maybe he'll succeed and kick 40 goals for ya.

Its certainly not unrealistic.

Watch the first half of West Coast vs Brisbane where Doogs kicked 4 goals on Mal Michael. He can play.

Can you guys help him to play good consistant footy?

I reckon you'll get 30+ goals from him if he plays 20+ games. Not a big return, but could be much more then that.
