i'm sure this has been posted on here and thoroughly discussed but i just discovered it ... and it's quite breathtaking to see it all together



like most of us, i'd imagine, i've tried to blot this game out of my mind ... at the time, i was living right in the heart of bulldogs territory, had to walk to the train station every day for weeks seeing dogs colours on banners, signs, shops, front yards and windows ... i kidded myself i didn't mind them getting their "fairytale" but there was always that feeling of resentment

so seeing this ... as i said, breathtaking to see how blatantly bad the officiating was

I feel sorry for Benny McGlynn who deserved to finally pick up a premiership medal. The trajectory of the Dogs since 2016 has been one of a club who were never good enough to earn a premiership and now falling back into obscurity, where they belong.

I look forward to a time when they're forcibly relocated to the ACT as the Canberra Dogs, dragging their few remaining sorry supporters up the Hume highway and forced to find a way to win games without the rub of the AFL, while the Melbourne media treat them as pariahs.

NB. There is a mention of Buddy

 

[bloodsbigot]

Gee. No mention of Hayward.

What gives?

Stupid overrated coaches pet.

I am wondering where we can get more coverage of the Intra Club trial game? The most I have seen comes from a fan. Most other clubs have released a full or condensed match to the faithful. Not ours lol.

 

[RubbaDuck]

I thought he had a terrible season. The coaches disagreed with me. The coaches' metrics used for the B&F have long been a bit hard to reconcile with actual output but good for them they thought he played well.

Coaches! What would they know?

I think Rowie is sensational

I can never tell when they're being serious. I'm sure they've made the Eric/Erol joke before, as well as the fact Tim thought his Dad was from England.

Let me first say I think Reid has been a valuable player for us, was a huge absence last year and may even make a bit of a swansong this year, etc etc.

That said, my instant reaction to this headline was "So how come you and brother get so many injuries?"

Reid: I'm lucky my family is so strong

In the next instalment of On the Mark, Reid explains why family is the key to his success.

Where is my boy 45?

Where is my boy 45?

Paul Kelly ?

 

[SydneyBlood]

Where is my boy 45?

Right up the back, in a straight line just about behind Rampe. That's a pretty ordinary photo, can make out barely half the squad.

Indhi and Olly got their jumpers mixed up!

I actually was there last night and missed the team by a whisker. My partner told me a bunch of "school boys in suits" had gone by in dark suits and pink and wondered who they could be because they looked too big to be school boys. [She doesn't follow footy or sport at all.] I didn't twig. But nor did I know the jumper presentation was last night.

I thought it was tonight cause apparently this is when the 150 year Guernsey is announce and hopefully put on sale

It was strangely low-key wasn't it?

Feels like it's an event that usually gets hyped up a good month or two in advance, selling tickets etc.

Can confirm "always wear shoes when riding a bike" is the correct answer. I slipped and scrapped off the tops of all 10 toes on an open gravel road. Still got the scars from that one.
