I have to say, the amazing generosity of Sydney fans is be commended. During a cost of living crisis and all, to continue to allow us to live rent free in your heads since 2016 is magnanimous to say the least. Many thanks.

Adz another BOG

 

[Unorth]

Solid effort but unfortunately just got out worked, have another crack and maybe next week we win the free kick count.

Because that’s all that matters right?

 

[jdz101]

Damnit I unfortunately missed this one due to some family stuff.

Can anyone summarise the game for me? Preferably in haiku format.

Can one of youse stats guru types tell me when was the last time we knocked over 3 top 4 sides in succession.

Or given that it probably a bit of an anomaly to play them in consecutive weeks. When was the last time we did it in a season.

It's something that has always felt like we've struggled with. I dont think its going to be a problem with this side in the next little while.

Edit: Oh, and I dont think we'll be deprived of our much needed media affirmation this week. I would expect it to be wall to wall terror dogs across the media landscape.

As impressive as the Hawks have been. They had their pat on the head last week.

My flagpole is so high right now it's not even on the graph.

Side note - I'm banned from the Swans board, but I'm assuming they're analysing the umpiring in todays game, right?

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Also the shift in role for Treloar was a master stroke played more of an outside role yet still had 40 touches, 19 of them contested. Allowed for a different look on the inside and will only help get more youth experience on the inside.

He seems to be positioned as the get out option defensive sweeper at contestants regardless of where on that ground it happens to be.

 

[iambrilliant]

I feel like in previous years gone by when teams started to get momentum and come back from behind we would crumble but now we have a genuine match winner in Jamarra and Darcy and feel like we are gonna turn the corner to become an elite top 4 team over the next few years

 

[Next Waiting]

At the completion of Round 20 .... for posterity

 

[Mofra]

All 3 games were away games

 

[charcoalchicken]

Carlton, Geelong away and Sydney away, that is flag form, reckon we are a genuine chance.

 

[Next Waiting]

I was super impressed with Bramble today. The whole backline in fact. Duryea has been great this season, a rock, and the 3 talls down there looked like a really promising combination.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Bloody immense effort really should of buried us by 70+ that first quarter was exceptional you can definitely do a repeat of 2016 if you keep that level up.

 

[X_box_X]

Can one of youse stats guru types tell me when was the last time we knocked over 3 top 4 sides in succession.

2000 was a famous year for us. We defeated the top four that year which included ending Essendon's 20 game win streak and Carlton's 13 game win streak. Our other two victories against NM and Melbourne were famous for big come from behind victories.

 

[CDBulldog]

I really liked the balance of smalls and talls in the forward line. Essentially no mediums so if the ball wasn’t marked the smalls got to work. Worked really well to lock it in time and time again. The score line was flattering for the swans. We smashed them!!

 

[bobs head soup]

The most exciting thing about the last 3 weeks is that Bont and Libba have been good, solid contributors rather than carrying the whole team on their shoulders

The future (including the rest of this year) is very bright

 

[Del165892]

Best 3 consecutive games (outside of finals) I've seen as a Bulldogs supporter. Seriously immense effort and I can honestly say I didn't think we had it in us. Timing our run quite well this year, especially if we sneak into the four...

 

[Bald]

This is the best our backline has been since we had blokes with the surnames Lake/Harris, Hargrave and Morris back there.

 

[Dogs Rule]

I missed it due to family stuff as well, but when I saw the final result I shouted out 'you magnificent bastards' (sorry kids)....
