Am I the only one who thinks the Dogs will get flogged?

[TedDougChris]

Correct. The so called "experts" are hilarious at times. David King ha been crowned as fox footy's stats and analysis guru. Anyone remember who he tipped for the flag pre-season? Fremantle. I rest my case

He also tipped the Bulldogs to miss the eight.

While I agree, and he did admit to not tipping the Dogs at all in the finals - at least he did own up to his error, unlike some in this thread.....

The umps sure flogged Sydney.

Wow - I thought the Dogs did.

Shows you how wrong you can be.

And I was there & all.

Must say I am staggered at how many people seem to think the Dogs can win it. As a neutral, I just cant see them getting close.

I can't see them kicking anywhere near enough goals with Stringer so badly out of form.

I cannot see them being able to hold Buddy and Tippett.

The Swans midfield runs far deeper than the Dogs too.

What am I missing?

Tippett?
I mean you almost had me there for a minute. i was prepared to listen with an open mind but when you were worried about who was going to 'hold Tippett' I knew you had jumped the shark.
Since when has Tippet ever done anything ever?
No-one needs to 'hold' him. He holds himself with his pure shitness, lack of agility and lack of footy smarts.
2016 edition Danny Southern would towel him up.

I thought they would, and Im happy I was clueless and wrong. I underrated them.

You're a debutant for a reason.

And perhaps if you posted less and analysed more you would have known that in any other year the Dogs had enough wins to be in the top 4 all despite having numerous injuries throughout the year. The actual gap between 1 and 7 was smaller than in other years even less so when you consider the 5 players that returned in the finals.
Your original comment was either ignorant or jealous or both!

As I said....

Perhaps my analysis would lean favourably towards the fact that since the current finals system was implemented in 2000 not one side outside the top 4 has won a premiership.

I am not talking about 'any other year', the reason the WB were 7th was because 6 teams in front of them had more wins or a better %, so comparing it to 'any other year' is irrelevant when you loom at the situation on a 2016 basis.
