[Schulzenfest]

Bulldogs have only 4 players over the age of 26 out there today. We have 12. Literally triple that.

How is Ted still on an AFL list?

His goal per game average still makes our KPF blush.

 

[ozph1870]

Youse all thought he was superman half an hour ago when we were mathematically still a chance...

 

[GremioPower]

How unrealistic is the natural gas ad with the cooking dad with the way out of his league wife.

I know some cases. It can happen.

P.S.: Brazil has a lot of beautiful women. It may have something to do with it...

 

[philthy05]

Why does this game sound like a tennis match in between points ?

 

[edgie]

David Parkin just put the mozz on Tex +Richard Douglass .In fairness Douglas is retiring.

David Parkin hasn't retired?

Bulldogs youngest team this round - can we have a summary lease Mr Whateley.

 

[tribey]

Bontempelli, Dunkley, Schache, Naughton, English, Lipinski, Dale, Smith, McLean = all 23-and-under

Macrae and Hunter = 24/25

And we’re sat here blaming ‘youth’ for inconsistency while we have all our cap going to guys pushing/over 30.

 

[Magus]

Matt Crouch - get ball, immediately spin around and handball backwards. Rinse and repeat on your way to 35-40 touches.

 

[Marmozet]

In Round 13, Adelaide were 4th and Bulldogs were 14th.

 

[HinkleysHeroes]

Hey power fans you loved us when we won 2 in a row fickle much

wellllll...Ive struggled with this love for the last 5 putrid years.

Bontempelli only 23. Wow. First player I would pick.

I’m happy with it, he’s in my AFL Fantasy team.

Don’t be mean. If he didn’t handball behind himself it would be harder to swing back and get the one-two to pad his stats, hes clearly a smart fantasy football coach.

 

[tribey]

Bontempelli only 23. Wow. First player I would pick.

Crozier’s only 25 as well. Would’ve sworn he was 27-29.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Not watching but the stats tell me there's some #freekickbulldogs going on.

Nah it's #firsttotheball

This is a good thing IMO, as much as it pains me not to play finals.

It makes a mockery of Koch's insipid rambling after the board meeting on Friday, when confronted by the press: "we focused on making the finals; making the finals; making the finals".

The coach, the players, the team and the club once again tripped itself up - in this case at the second to last hurdle, having already knocked half of them over along the way. I don't want us to continue to be a club that accepts mediocrity. I don't want us to think that it's a pass mark that we made finals because other results went our way. I want us to return to being the most ruthless side in the competition.

The current administration and coaching hierarchy think that to be ruthless, you just need to talk about git. Well, it's a start, but you also have to take matters into your own hands and welcome the opportunity to control your own destiny in a positive (not negative) way through action. Our actions have let us down for an awfully long time.

Like the kid with the magnifying glass, time to shift his focus

 

[finbarr]

lol Walker. Initiating contact and staging for frees. This is what you are.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Remember that wins in a row video the club posted on our way to missing finals from an unmissable position?

You don't get to be a fantasy pig with long direct play.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

The worst 40 goal season in the history of the game

 

[Power Raid]

Adelaide stealing our draft pick

 

[Greasyrhys]

Don’t let the crows back in it Dogs

 

[Doctor Feel]

Quite true. None of Judd, Goodes or Cooney for example were big fantasy guys, even Bont isn't the big a scorer.

Priddis sticks out like absolute dog balls. What the hell was that.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

The Bulldogs have lost interest too. Going to sleepwalk to the line
