Finals, Week 1 - Geelong vs. Western Bulldogs

[sherb]

Dogs have had their chances, if they lose (which looks likely) they will have absolutely no-one to blame but themselves.

 

[Copernicus]

I hate this ring a rosie shit. Just move the ball on and score!

 

[TheBloods]

13 points down with maybe 6 minutes left.

 

[Plugger35]

Higgins finally gets one, Dogs still barking.

 

[cruiser]

Johnson = choker

 

[Notorious_29]

3 goals, 4 minutes.

 

[mcuzzy]

Well done Harbrow to stop the goal

 

[swanny11]

oh cross. poor, poor effort. tired kick... he just didnt even look up.

 

[Braun_2_B_Wild]

Ummm... that's what I just said. And what good big forwards did West Coast have in their flags?

Peter Sumich who kicked 6 in a GF and 100 in a season? Quentin Lynch who kicked 60+ in a season and a few in a GF?

We would have won 2005 as well if we played Lynch instead of Michael fumbles Gardiner at Full Forward.

 

[DockerShocker]

quite intresting

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Great game of footy, bulldogs are a good comeback team but a few really costly misses.

 

[Donsftw14]

How much time? 3 maybe?

 

[mcuzzy]

Yeah I agree, doggies could and should have come back, poor kicking

 

[ep2018]

No time for Dogs now...

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

We would have won 2005 as well if we played Lynch instead of Michael fumbles Gardiner at Full Forward.

We would have won in 2006 if Jolly didn't have a buggered finger etc etc.

You won one, that's all you deserved.

Geelong will looooooove the week off. Bit more time for Ottens, Stevie J (!!!) gets back, chappy may not have been completely fit today...

 

[mcuzzy]

Well done cats, good game

 

[Notorious_29]

NOW its over, lol.

Dissapointing really cats escaped pretty luckily.

 

[DockerShocker]

dogs had their chances but have blown it

 

[TheBloods]

Peter Sumich who kicked 6 in a GF and 100 in a season? Quentin Lynch who kicked 60+ in a season and a few in a GF?

We would have won 2005 as well if we played Lynch instead of Michael fumbles Gardiner at Full Forward.

Lynch kicked just 3 in 2006 and just 11 possessions.

In 1994 Sumich kicked just 2 goals and only 6 possessions.

Neither hardly dominated finals in those years.

How many they kicked during the year is irrelevant.

Add Hall to the Bulldogs and they'll be real challengers.

 

[Donsftw14]

Dammit, Dogs will look back on those chances

 

[ep2018]

So much promise by the Bullies yet no reward. I'd absolutely hate to be a supporter

 

[rhaz]

Dissapointing really cats escaped pretty luckily.

there is no luck in being 30 points up at 3qtr time.

 

[bresker]

Despite the comeback, it never felt like we might win.

 

[mcuzzy]

Ablett more kicks than handjobs :O
