Game Day 2024 Round 18 Sydney v. Western Bulldogs 28th July @ SCG 3:20 PM

[ShireSwan]

The funny thing is, we are still 6 points in front of everyone after this mess.

What a bizzare season this is.

 

[KingV23]

We do have the most passive supporter base. Can't expect much else when we pander to the rainbows and fairies brigade

Agreed. But let's be honest, going to the footy is a nice day out in Sydney. Come down to Melbourne and it is war.

I prefer a cauldron atmosphere too, but maybe people should be allowed to enjoy the footy which they've paid for their ticket for, in any way they see fit as long as it's not harming others?

The crowd certainly didn't let us down for Buddy's 1000th or the 2022 Preliminary Final.

Yup, and that's my point - the mindset when going to the footy is different between the two cities. Much more vocal and serious about it down here.

Must be the rainbow and fairies brigade's fault

Nothing to get vocal about from a 35-1 start haha

Don't be silly, nothing is ever their fault

Haha true, but Bombers supporters will disagree haha.

 

[SSwans2011]

Yeah, as a collective nothing is ever their fault. That's correct. Because it would be literally impossible for that to be the case. Astute observation.

Anyway, lets talk footy.

 

[SSwans2011]

How toxic do you have to be to use a poor loss to slag off our efforts as a club to be inclusive of the queer community?

Literally no reason for frustration to be taken out on them, but here we are. Shameful.

 

[SSwans2011]

That would be great. It's pathetic it was brought up in the first place.

 

[ShireSwan]

Campbell is just a nothing player

Can be useful when we have a couple of extractors winning it inside. Like Rowbottom and Sheldrick for example.

sick of hearing about Sheldrick like he isn't a guy who played a handful of games , he isn't the messiah

Almost Will Gould type of hype . Although Sheldrick at least looks like he will be good.

 

[ShireSwan]

He's lead clearances in his last two games.

He IS the messiah. And YOU're the very naughty boy.

Well having said that I'd pick him this week

But let's be realistic for the kid

 

[PJ68]

Logan must be glad he signed when he did.

 

[GreyGooseGuy88]

Is Melican injury a hammie?

 

[lazy77]

Is Melican injury a hammie?

Yes.

 

[Voula]

Welcome to BigFooty by the way

Thanks. I've been reading this board for 10 years. I feel like I know everyone. Bad game to finally join though!

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

There are so many teams in the pack of potential contenders that are stinking it up. On form, its only Brisbane and the fairypuppies that look to be building up any sense of momentum towards finals.

But with this crazy season, in 4 weeks time it could look completely different. I certainly hope so, because the way we are playing we will be lucky to win another game at this rate. Absolute Z grade bullshit today.

Maybe we were never that good. Maybe for the first 15 or so games of the season, all 17 other teams were unbelievably schittehaus.

You may well be right. Still think no one has reached the same level of quality as we did early in the season at points, and that our best football is likely better than any other team in the competition. But we as a club know well that means zilch if you can't do that consistently enough when it matters.
