What They're Saying - The Bulldogs Media Thread - Part 2

[Dogs_R_Us]

So journalism today is paraphrasing the salty rants of interstate posters on the Game Day thread on Big Footy?

What a surprise

If your Sunday morning is going too well you may want to waste three minutes of your life taking in this hot take.

"Not only did September suck, there is also a distinct feeling among fans not wearing yellow and black (or red, white and blue last season) the AFL has produced two pretty ordinary premiers in the past two seasons."

The 'journalist' is on Twitter so feel free to offer a critique of his work.

The premiers are better than the 17 other clubs, so if they are ordinary premiers I'm not sure what it says about the other teams.

Wish there was a comments section under his article. Guy has no soul and no understanding of what a footy club means to people. If all we were interested in was the best team for the whole year we'd go to watch Adelaide for the home and away season in 2017 and not bother about our own. And why have a finals series at all. Just be like premier league and award it to whoever finishes top of the ladder (even that's not fair as no one plays every team twice. Suspect he might be a GWS supporter.

That author also said the Boyd deal was the worst in history. Bit of a moron.

Ordinary premier is better than ordinary runner-up, far better than ordinary non-finalist and far, far better than ordinary wooden spoon.

or·di·nar·y - what is commonplace or standard.

I would be happy for it to be commonplace that we won the GF.

It’s such BS and shows he had no real feel for the game.
How could it possibly be bad for the game that in two years two long premiership droughts are broken. Only someone seriously stupid could suggest that.

Also Greg Baum’s article in today’s Age saying along the lines how Richmond’s premiership was a better story than ours.

I’m just don’t see the need to compare. All premierships are unique

 

[SCRAY72]

Lost, thankfully ,in all the bull shit articles was a small piece by ****wit Denham in the Oz on Friday. Very small opinion piece saying the umpires owed us a better performance after the 2016 GF. He never gives up..

Regardless of how anyone else sees it, I'll take a premiership from seventh which includes two interstate finals and two epics than a premiership from the top 4 with 3 decisive wins. Richmond were a good side all year with a good injury run. We limped into the finals playing with broken backs and broken ankles. I honestly doubt any premiership in AFL/VFL history beats 2016.

His idea of a "better premiership" is maintaining the old VFL status quo, and the traditional top four play off. So boring.

This. Also, unless I'm greatly mistaken, Richmond copied their superior gameplay (and story) directly from us. That's like saying a photocopy of the Mona Lisa is better than the original.

They admitted copying the lot! From game style to post-game speeches and "emotions". Good on them for the decisive win but hey, nothing will surpass the freshness and spontaneity of our GF. We didn't copy anyone.

Hopefully they continue to copy us and have a 2017 season next year.

I'm not going to compare premierships, but if I did I could say the Bulldogs beat four teams that had won at least 16 games during the home and away season compared to Richmond who beat none.

And all away from home or neutral venues

 

[maddog37]

I feel it is churlish to take anything at all away from what the Tigers achieved.

All credit to them.

6.5million viewers say otherwise.

Compared to 3.5million viewers for the 2017 Grand Final.

 

[mcgleereturns]

Sydney in Grand final may have had something to do with that as well. 4 times the population of Adelaide.

The same Greg Baum who wrote an artictle suggesting we get favoured by the umps and did in the Grand Final. He is not a fan of us.

He also said during mid-2016 that Bulldogs, Saints, Demons supporters will never see their team win a grand final. He was wrong just a few months later.

Edit: it was actually Greg Denham that said that on SEN. Both knobs though

And most of Sydney's population don't give a crap about sport.

And those that do care about Sport league, union and soccer are ahead of AFL.

Well....Adelaide who finished top this year would have finished 7th last year....but I still say that's nothing to do with what Richmond did. They beat who was put in front of them and that's all that matters

 

[immortalmike]

By my recollection we won more games last year than anyone did this year.
Man this year was a missed opportunity.
