The Bulldogs are a rabble.

Good. They deserve to pay for 2016.

I hope they're a rabble for 62 61 60 59 58 more years now

 

[TheFVK]

They made up some

3 more goals and they would have had it..(101÷174=58%); always next week

 

[philthy05]

They've got zero middle aged talent. Those guys aren't gonna win a premiership but when their next crop is ready they could be valuable experience veterans.

there’s not enough “next crop” to do anything substantial. Needed to hit the draft and pick up cheap seniors through free agency / dfa / cheap trades, not premier high priced guys.

 

[TheFVK]

Crows are crap, torn to bits off-field and look shot short, mid and long term onfield.

We are flying, have the best young talent we've ever had and are all set for the a flag crack over the next few years.

If this didn't feel so much like 2013 my chest wouldn't fit through the doorframe by now

I sometimes still think in terms of the old SNAFL formula, eg 101/275 = 36%

Assume they use similar creativity in calculating the returns for our home games at Adelaide Oval

 

[manureid]

Be interesting to see if the Crows are crap and the culture stays the same if that Mcasey they drafted who looked devastated to be picked by them ups and leaves.

Max King and Rowan Marshall are a start. Maybe even Doogs too. Getting some bookends.

Hannebry was Richos doing, had the Saints sitting just out the 8 for a couple of years so maybe thought that would be enough to get them in to it. Not comparable to the others.

That guy who kicked 3 goals for Essendon (McKernan) would probably be handy back at the Camrys!

 

[TeeKray]

I wish Jasper the best but they all wanna have his babies on the North board what am I missing? we know his best is decent but I feel like he's setting them up for a brain fade clanger fest of epic proportions.. it will happen it's just him.

They're North fans, probably only Dees fans have lower standards than that mob.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Don't Bulldogs have access to the best kid in the upcoming draft and are doing basically what Geelong did in 2006.

AFL’s ugly double standard exposed; Power play that unlocked three stars: Rd 2 Talking Points

AFL’s ugly double standard exposed; Power play unlocks three stars: Rd 2 Talking Points

A shock decision not to suspend an AFL veteran has exposed the game’s bizarre double standard.


It only took two games of the AFL’s restarted season for everyone to get back to being baffled about the Match Review.

There was a universal chorus of confusion after Hawthorn’s Shaun Burgoyne was handed a $1000 fine - halved due to the financial impact of coronavirus - for his sling tackle on Geelong’s Patrick Dangerfield.


we have specific examples of sling tackles leading to suspensions. Last year Carlton’s Will Setterfield copped two weeks for a sling on Gold Coast’s Wil Powell, receiving a rough conduct charge in the process.

But as this fan-made clip of the two slings back-to-back shows, it’s not as if Setterfield and Burgoyne’s incidents were so vastly different.

Burgoyne with a classic good bloke defence.

 

[TheFVK]

Isn't there recourse for the tribunal to dispute the MRP? Because that decision is ****ed.

 

[snozulu]

I really dont like how the AFL and team websites have changed. They are a real pain in the ass to navigate and they are structured poorly

 

[EskimoPAFC]

I don’t care about any asterix, every premiership has had different rules.

Yeah whatever happens this year its surely more legitimate than 2016 (or 2007, 2009, 2011 or 2000 while we're at it)

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Someone needs to appeal that silk decision. Absolutely disgraceful. Two weeks should be the absolute minimum.

 

[Jojay]

Burgoyne with a classic good bloke defence.

Yep, he's a good 'ol boy from Hawthorn. Like good bloke luke hodge, who nearly decapitated Wingard using a goal post back in the day. Nothing to see here.

just don't give them the traffic

The club webpages are set up in the same format.

So would Greenwood...and Cameron

 

[pastmyprimus]

I'm fine with the Crows finishing bottom. Their list problems run so deep that picking up an elite junior at the number one pick will hardly make much difference. That would be true even if the number one pick was superboy.

Lol if St Kilda win a premiership in front of an empty MCG.

If they win a flag in front of no spectators, did it really happen?

‘Stunned’ backlash to AFL’s black eye

Melbourne legend Garry Lyon has smacked down the decision to fine Shaun Burgoyne for a dangerous tackle on the weekend rather than suspend him.

www.news.com.au

Concussion expert Alan Pearce, who has conducted research at the request of the AFL, was also concerned Burgoyne got off lightly.

“Those are the kinds of impact tackles that lead towards long-term brain damage,” Pearce told the Herald Sun. “Dangerfield wasn’t concussed but they are the sort of heavy impacts we are so concerned about.

“This is an obvious example of rough play that can lead to long-term brain damage.”

Western Bulldogs champion Brad Johnson said only fining Burgoyne sends a “terrible message to the footy community”.


Former Richmond and Western Bulldogs star Nathan Brown believes Burgoyne benefited from the “good bloke” factor, suggesting another player without his esteemed reputation in the game would have been suspended.

“If (GWS star) Toby Greene had done the same thing the other night it would have been one or two weeks automatically,” Brown said on the Sunday Footy Show.

“Maybe there was a bit of a ‘good bloke’ factor about it.”
