What They're Saying - The Bulldogs Media Thread - Part 4

Romance is the theme....

Bev say anything of note?

 

[JTCWBFC]

His answer to 'can you win it all' was very long

 

[W W Biscuit]

Kind of reminds me of a quote years ago, perhaps apocryphal, by former Blue Percy Jones, who apparently observed that "fifty percent of football is half mental." Then again, he was also said to have been amazed, when reading the newspaper obituaries, that it was uncanny how everybody had died in alphabetical order.

I thought the most poignant thing he said was.... paraphrasing,....if you all don't believe you can win...you won't. Therein lies his challenge.

There were a lot of words and various tangents but it pretty much came down to that in my view.

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

A couple of comments he made:

We were expected to make finals, and we did make finals, the change that we are a club that regularly makes finals.
We are not everyone’s second favourite team anymore.
Had a quick dig about how difficult it is to make finals with the inequity of the draw.
Does’nt have a dog
yeah something, if you don’t believe you can win it, you won’t.
Also thought he seemed confident about this week but that is about all.

That was pretty damning. I don't like him as much anymore. Now seems cold and detached to me. Doesn't love Dog's creatures...the very image of itself. #sackbevo

I also thought he looks really tired, he kept muddling Robbo with Gerard a sign of exhaustion.

To be fair, I once muddled Robbo with a bollard outside Marvel Stadium.

Agree. After that I'm not as optimistic that "anything can happen". Looks tired, the draw thing sounded a bit like an excuse and there seemed to be some doubt about being able to convince the the players they could win. An air of resignation perhaps (as to their fate...not his position).

I'd very much like to be reading far too much into it and completely wr....wr...not correct. Miracles have and do happen. On this occasion, if it happens, it will be players providing the inspiration.

 

[Optimistic Dog]

Can't believe Whateley and Robbo did not pick up on the above theme it was a very clear hanging to the right on Bevo.

Surely Bevo goes with the line "One small step for the team one giant leap for the bulldog community".

I’ll never forget him turning around and kicking the ball into the goal post from about six inches out . Great character.

Yeap, been some absolute great funny quotes. The one I always remember is Peter McKenna commentating the Army reserve cup. I think the player was Russell Tweedale who was playing for the saints (went to the bulldogs later). He said I love commentating Russell because he is a redhead and he is easy to identify . The killer line was "I wish all players were redheads so it is easy to tell one player form another" LOL

Essendon does it differently. Sheedy: "You 3 pair up over there" That's up there with "from 12.15 to 1.00 "don't miss the Sheedy hour".

Can't remember his name, but an American football coach once said:

Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein.

Alan Lincoln, springs to mind. Perhaps I'm getting it confused with Giuseppe Biden's "If the USN sails 2 rowboats up the Taiwan Straits...."

Tom's legs are too long. Umpires noticed Tony because of his (lack of) height and his running gait.
I'm not saying that's the only reason he won ... but it wouldn't have hurt.

I guess Tom's tats might compensate a bit though.

It's not for me to be causing friction in the Liberatore household(s) but Tony's well ahead in the decent bloke stakes, for mine. I've only ever met Tony the once, in the social club, one evening, probably early - mid 90s. No AFL sell yourself bullsh.t, just a quiet chat about a topic of mutual interest, our childrens' welfare, that left me impressed. For all I know, Tom may be even more decent but Tony's my favourite Libber, a bloke with values who, then, really got fatherhood.

I don’t know that there’s much point in comparing them this way. Tom seems to be a pretty decent fellow with a couple of kids that he dotes on. Very smart too, and universally looked up to by his teammates.

The people that run to the fire are going to get burned and die though. So there’s that.

I’d settle for a defensive approach that didn’t make me want to tear my hair out, win or lose.

I'd want the people who run to the water buckets and fire hoses.

I'd want the people who are going to light the fire and let the enemy choose whether they run toward it or away from it.
