You're upset about the Bulldogs winning the flag?
Felt like I'd just won about 600 bucks because I bet on them?

You're upset about the Bulldogs winning the flag?
Exploiting the rules - you mean like winning the flag in 1993 when having cheated the salary cap? Or do you mean winning the 2000 flag cheating the salary cap yet again by paying James Hird and Matthew Lloyd several hundred thousand dollars for worthless domain names? Only twice has a team won flags in the same year they cheated the salary cap - no surprise whatsoever it was EFC on both occasions.A second premiership in nearly 100 years by exploiting the rules is nothing to be proud of, it's kind of cute actually.

Wow, 600 whole dollars!?
No wonder it took you 5 months to post this thread, you've been living like a boss on your fat stacks of cash money.
Shame your club doesn't.I care more about the game than money.
A second premiership in nearly 100 years by exploiting the rules is nothing to be...
Didnt your club change its trading name for dollars?Shame your club doesn't.
If you don't handball or kick it, its an illegal disposal. Pretty black and white imo.
To be honest, Bulldog's contested work is what won them the premiership. Wouldn't have had the opportunity if they weren't first to the ball.
You'll be happy to hear that his received no free kicks this year in the JLT. Will be A grade footballerDoes anyone else fkin hate Toby McLean? He's got an eye for goal but I've never seen him go into a contest without bending the knees. Good footballer but in my eyes, hes the least respectable of all the Dogs that won the GF - really wish Murphy was the one with the medal and not the knee-bender.
Fair enough he's a well rounded player and certainly good enough skill-wise to have a premiership medal.You'll be happy to hear that his received no free kicks this year in the JLT. Will be A grade footballer
People would adjust. The fact that "it came out in the tackle" is even a thing is a joke. If it came out in the tackle, reward the tackler.I don't think most people realise what sort of effect a rule like this would have on the game. It would be the biggest rule change in at least a few decades.
Agreed. Can see why the hate for him though, not a good look when dropping the kneesFair enough he's a well rounded player and certainly good enough skill-wise to have a premiership medal.
Should I change it to make it less sensitive to Western Bulldogs fans?Nobody gives a shit about the OP, just the thread title.
Nah, he deserves every high free kick he gets.Does anyone else fkin hate Toby McLean? He's got an eye for goal but I've never seen him go into a contest without bending the knees.

I like how the Bulldogs, who used to HATE that they were LOVED by everyone else have all suddenly turned into special little snowflakes since their success. In fact the OP wasn't even about the Bulldogs, it was about the rule they exploit more than most other clubs. But I guess a team that's used to getting so much praise for competitive preliminary finals, the fans haven't really been prepared this kind of criticism. It's OK doggies, we still like your team!
No you should change the thread title because its just stupid dramatization you'd expect from idiot journalists and the bay.Should I change it to make it less sensitive to Western Bulldogs fans?
This is how unbelievable the Bulldogs have become. They always wanted to be that team everyone hates, and now they are getting criticism for winning, their fans are on the defensive. I'm not afraid to admit the Bombers exploited the salary cap, so did every other club that had money we just had better success.
I am not even saying the Bulldogs should be stripped of their premiership as that would be ridiculous. But the denial coming from the Bulldog fans is hilarious. I'm tipping a lot of hurt feelings when the umpires become bolder on illegal disposals and the game plan needs a complete reboot...
