This thread is about the WB and why they aren’t up to it. You want to start a thread about Melbourne? Start one. There’s a heap of people that agree with the notion that you were advantaged significantly in the GF. It’s obvious, it’s there, you were gifted. Your free kick for count has been the highest in the league for years, your players literally work on this (to play for free kicks). Weightman the grub stupidly admitted it in an interview. Not to mention your coach is an absolute sook on this front.That a bit like how the “Dees” were gifted an OJ Simpson style not guilty verdict for their tanking??
Melbourne supporters.
You lot send the AFL some flowers for letting you off the hook for the tanking?
Gifting you Paul Roos as coach?
Gifting you Peter Jackson as CEO?
Gifting you 495960 priority picks for being utterly pathetic year in year out?
Melbourne, most pathetic, spoon fed club in the league.
And you’ve got the gall to gob off at other clubs for supposedly getting gifts.
Your club only exists because the AFL spoon fed you a bunch of gifts - and because Hawthorn voted no in 1996 - make sure you send them some flowers for that too.
Is that the best you’ve got? Watch a quarter where you won but lost 3 others and a GF by 74 points? Yeah, I’ll watch the 3rd quarter.Wow - bitter much??
Guess what’s in the records books under 2016 Premiers️
Why don’t you quietly go flog yourself off watching Q3 of last years grand final rather than worrying about something truely magnificent that occurred 6 years ago
Well compared to Footscray it’s a no brainer. Melbourne supporters aren’t saying they are as successful as Carlton, Essendon (who are both pathetic at the moment and have been for 20 years now), Collingwood, Richmond, or Hawthorn.
Looks to me like the very definition of consistency with two very good Septembers thrown in.
2016 GF is the only GF where a team was lucky with umpiring decisions. It was actually bizarre, and I've watched it a few times.
It was up there with our extremely lucky run in the 1994 Prelim.
Critical thinking? Yeah that’s not my definition of it. You don’t get to insult peoples intelligence because you don’t like their opinions when they respond directly to the facts. The facts are there in free kick for statistics and evidenced by the AFL acknowledging the umpires ‘made some errors’ after the GF.
There's no significant correlation between earning more free kicks than and scoring more than your opponent, so why is it relevant to this thread? Not to mention that the Bulldogs have performed both well and poorly in seasons where they have earnt more free kicks than their opponents, so again what's the point here? Complete red herring. And incredibly boring.

is Beveridge the right man for the job ?
Correct. And that’s the issue. Their supporters think they’re good but it’s due to the players exploiting the rules as you say, they’re just not a good side but know how to stay in games by theatrical means that the umpires buy into.
How did this hold up for Worsfold and Mark Williams?
cmon Kane,the games about winning flags and making GF's in the least,by last count he's made 2 and won 1.( 8 seasons )
hes in rare air my frend.
theyre playing off in 2 of 3 GF's '23-'25 , winning at least 1, take it to the bank
Looks to me you don't understand the very definition of consistency at all.
Five of those seasons they have finished within the same three spots on the ladder. Apart from that one year where they finished thirteenth, they have hardly bottomed out.
i wasnt aware that Luke Beveridge was impersonating Williams and Worsfold,fancy that,strap yaself in,every coach has a shelf life of varying periods
Ordinary post. Sook less, stay on topic more.
