No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs only - Part 4

[Next Waiting]

I like how we all ****ing hate Melbourne.

We argue a lot, but on this we are one.

That was such an enjoyable game.

I went, surrounded by Pies supporters, and we were up and about and giving it to Langdon when Maynard got hold of him and they piled in.

Good times! Best non-dogs game/win I've been to.

 

[ScragCity]

Do we even have a Maynard or Crisp straight line wrecking ball?

Maybe Dunkley. The Bont?

Not since Clay

 

[Libbaaaa]

Crisp is more elusive (hard at it don’t get me wrong) but Maynard is just tough. Funny that the last few months have exposed Melbourne a bit as the team without many strings to their bow. They can smash you out if the middle and on the counter (which most sides do now) but that’s it. Slow them down and they are very beatable.

That being said +24 inside 50s for a loss is criminal.

I am certain I have seen us lose many games with that sort of inside 50 differential.

Melbourne’s go is to burst out the centre and have that straightforward handball chain to the player at centre half forward, who almost never leaves his position. That got Neal Bullen his goal in the last quarter. They did the same thing to us 6 times in a row two weeks ago and in the grand final.

They can do that since Petracca and Oliver are such good ball users but if you can stop that from happening, switch away from the play if you have the ball and don’t kick it high to May and Lever you have a big chance at beating them.

role for us at Centre Half Back. He could be a superstar from that position on the ground. He would be in the play more and could even kick a few goals too?

 

[Mantis Toboggan]

If this Hawks - Gold Coast game is anything to go by, don’t expect much atmosphere for our last game of the year. Absolutely lifeless.

Might get a few more there but not expecting much

 

[ScragCity]

Tanner Bruhn looks and sounds like the kind of guy that my girlfriend would have cheated on me with back in college.

So he looks like any other bloke on planet Earth then?

 

[hutchy31]

GWS v Essendon game is pathetic. If you think our defence is bad you should watch the last ten mins of that half. No pressure or accountability anywhere from either team.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Leek Aleer is having a brilliant quarter. In game 2, already looks like a player.

 

[dogwatch]

Haw-GCS game feels a bit like last night. One side leading all game but huge weight of possession and chances for the other side in the final quarter.

It feels like it’s only a matter of time … if there’s enough of it.

 

[dogwatch]

Suns kicked themselves out of it. 1.5 to 0.1 in the final quarter.

I thought the Hawks made a mistake going defensive too early but it worked out for them. Won ugly.

 

[Whoyagot]

Aaron Naughton could play the Darcy Moore role for us at Centre Half Back. He could be a superstar from that position on the ground. He would be in the play more and could even kick a few goals too?

Naughton disposal isn’t as strong as Moores. It would really hold him back in that role.

 

[Chicago1]

We'd better win! It looks like I'll be 0-3 in my tipping so far this weekend.

 

[hutchy31]

Geelong have rested Selwood, Dangerfield and Blicavs and are still torching the saints.

Oh to have a competent head coach.

 

[Chicago1]

Come on Port!

 

[The Inbetweener]

Not sure how Richmond were ever outsiders vs Port

 

[Chicago1]

Can we make today a do-over?

 

[DognBones]

I admire the Tigers' determination to win. Throwing everything at Port to get into the 8. Wish we could emulate their endeavour. Sadly, we just haven't displayed that kind of effort in more than a few games this season.

 

[revo333]

Main board thread about our season has turned into Melbourne supporters talking about the 2016 grand final free kick count LOL!.

Carlton getting smashed

They’ve been putrid.

 

[Some Idiot]

Carlton's capitulation just rubs salt in the wounds of the opportunity missed.
