They won the premiership ffs.
You'd think they'd be shouting it from the rooftops if it were true.Link??
That pesky bye!The bye happened
4 days extra rest resulted in a premiership? Really? You are that dumb?The bye happened
Watched the elim final again last night. It is amasing how early Simpson gave up. Face palming in the second quarter by a senior coach is saying "i've got nothing".5 minutes into the West Coast v Dogs game, people around the bar were already growining that it was going to be a blowout victory to the Eagles. No one expected the dogs to win the game.
Round 23 they lost to Fremantle and were $67 odds to win the flag.
5 weeks later they were premiers.
WTF happened?
In that 5 weeks they had some amazing form. But is it possible they just had an amazing 5 weeks of footy? In 5 weeks we went from completel writing them off to hailing a new dynasty.
Now let’s compare West Coast. Yes I am a fan but this is just for experimental purposes.
In August. Eagles beat Hawks. Giants away and Adelaide away. Eagles were a higher favourite to win the flag than the dogs then. If this month of footy was played a month later who knows?
Did the dogs just have a great month? Or are they the genuine real deal?
Is there anyone out there that thinks Bulldogs will slip a little as other teams quickly adapt?
Personally I have a feeling they will.
Far from it. Eagles didn't turn up to play.
Yes west coast players also threw in the towel that night. Reality is they were flogged and couldn't handle the heat - something we've seen from this group the previous year in a big gameWatched the elim final again last night. It is amasing how early Simpson gave up. Face palming in the second quarter by a senior coach is saying "i've got nothing".
So in answer to the real question you are asking, yes the bulldogs were deserving winners of the Elim final and Eagles are so far of what is required in finals football it is laughable.
I backed them to win the WC final by between 40-60 points @40s, $67 for the flag at that stage does sound suss.
WTF happened?
