Autopsy Dogs into prelim - beat Brissy

[Sid Nullis]

How many of us were yelling at Williams to get rid of it in the 2nd quarter when he danced around 10 lions players lol. If he had a storm strip on he could of flicked it over to the fox to get him over the line

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

How’s that top 4 looking now Lions?

Chokers of the highest order

 

[ExRoyboy]

Happy Fathers Day to all of you out there like me that are celebrating today, not just a Bulldogs win but the joy of being a Dad.

to record me a video message wishing me a Happy Father’s Day while he was in hotel quarantine yesterday waiting for the game. He thanked me for my support of the Dogs and told me on behalf of my daughters not to be too grumpy if we lost but that he and the boys were absolutely focused and would do their best to get the win for all of us and make it an amazing Fathers Day for all Bulldogs “Dads”……

I was so shocked to get such a personalised message from one of my favourite players. Great guy, and he did a selfless task last night shutting down Lachie Neale

The look you have when the Karma bus arrives

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

I’m really confused why so many people think the block from Big O on English was a bad or, at least, debatable call. It was as blatant as they come!

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

People can bag Bailey Smith all they want, but he gets to the right spots every time. He seems to be involved in key moments because he works himself into the right spots. If he cleaned up his disposal he would be a top 5 player

It’s like the criticism of Trealoar at the Pies

its not easy to be a great disposal all the time when you are running flat out

I’m sure Bailey sat out the back waiting for handballs his disposal would improve

 

[Golden_6]

How good was Caleb’s footskills last night? I’m not sure if there’s been any confirmed reports regarding his injury status but you’d never know from last night. Moved very well and set some beautiful plays up with dangerous kicks through the corridor.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Im not a fan of Hannan but I have to say his attack and clean possession of the ball in the crucial contest to handball to smith was first class

I am a fan and what he can do at pace stands him apart from Wallis etc. He is crucial for our defensive set ups and always plays the team game

 

[O Grobbecker]

... even Caleb’s out of bounds call was probably correct according to the rules regarding insufficient intent to keep the ball in play...

The ball clearly went off the side of the boot but you are right in context, out deliberately decisions are judged very harshly, understandably. The Umpires' unwritten rule of put the whistle away late in the last quarter of a final has been abandoned in this series.

 

[BEaston]

Macrae too. Has a BOG performance, carried the team to victory, but then someone puts a camera in front of him.

View attachment 1226574

That just looks like Macrae being the slightly awkward unit he is. Very different IMO.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

The footy world can say what they like about us but we are a tight f@#*In unit.

Everyone is pulling in the same direction and enjoying each other's success.

There is a video of Crozier and the other players going off after the siren down in Tassie

 

[weltschmerz]

this throw led to a goal

 

[fronkalicious]

JJ’s last few minutes were awesome. Totally deserves a spot

Sorry for the extreme lateness on the stats folks.

What a game! and for once we didn't lose the hitout to advantage count.

How about Jacko though! Just about his career-best game (39 disposals, 19 contested possessions, 11 clearances, 11 inside 50s, 800+ metres gained, 1 goal) those are Ablett numbers.

He's already broken the record for most effective disposals in a season and needs just 31 more disposals to break the overall record for most disposals in a season.

Now as always...

are we the best smothering side ever?

 

[Doggies_13]

Would think dogs should not have to quarantine by mid week, they were in Tas for 8 days or so, by Wednesday or Thursday they would have done 14 days and really should be allowed some more freedom

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

What’s with people taking the piss out of Fagan?


He’s ok isn’t he?

His carry on after the WC game was OTT

 

[Here we go dogs]

JJ’s last few minutes were awesome. Totally deserves a spot


Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

His entire second half was great, wonder if he felt less pressure coming on as a sub.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

How good was Caleb’s footskills last night? I’m not sure if there’s been any confirmed reports regarding his injury status but you’d never know from last night. Moved very well and set some beautiful plays up with dangerous kicks through the corridor.

I am always with my heart in my throat watching Daniel and Dale bring it out of defence - for a moment I am 'wtf are you doing kicking into danger - but then they thread the needle more often than not to set us up beautifully.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

If you genuinely think Vanders was a passenger then I can only assume you didn't watch the game

Some supporters are funny they just have to pick out the negatives.

 

[SonOfScray]

His carry on after the WC game was OTT

Nah, that was fair enough, just riding the wave.

still anyone that’s not us can sudo eggs.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

5 minutes isnt enough when it's needed through the entire game. If somehow we make it through next week and Melbourne beat Geelong Gawn will wipe the floor with him. He's just not competitive enough

Could not care less about Gawn, we beat them and he dominated

 

[Doggies_13]

Fagan was asked about umpires and said you don’t comment on those things, seemed to be sooking a bit especially when you compare it to Rutten who said dogs were harder for longer and were first for the ball.

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

I’m as down on the ruck situation as anyone - I’m a broken record about it - but maybe we litigate that later in the week. If it costs us a flag (which it might) then it’ll expose it even further as a weakness, but even my negative slant on our performances has been pummelled into submission by that epic effort.

Tomorrow I’ll vent about the ruck, poor forward entries, decision making, selection integrity and a few other things. But for now I’m going to follow my six beers with a bottle of Pinot and then see how I go as I watch the replay.

Go dogs!!!!!!!!!!

It’s not costing us a flag, the evidence is clear we can win regardless of rucks

 

[Al dente]

English's second half was good
