What They're Saying - The Bulldogs Media Thread - Part 3

I reckon Libba will pay his fine and think "well that was worth every cent"...

Absolutely staggered this was his first offence, haha

Amazon documentary will haunt the Giants all season

Fly-on-the-wall series may be riveting viewing, but ramps up the pressure on the GWS captain and coach.

www.theage.com.au

Quite a negative article about Cameron. I remember thinking at the time we may have missed a trick going for Bevo instead of Leon. Oh, how wrong I was.

Seems that no matter how much training, apprenticeships, development, time in successful systems, whatever one does, there really seems to be no way (a bit like the role of CEO, Prime Minister or state Premier) to tell how a coach will go until they actually get in the role. One must play the cards they have been dealt, but can still get it wrong even when they've seen good and bad hands.

Timid footballers NEVER make good coaches

Players will never be willing to go all in for a coach that wouldn’t do it himself.

Cameron was a more than handy footballer but was partial to the easier kicks. Never been a fan of players like that and never will be

Wutt ?? Did they fine the Norf players?

 

[MrChristo]

Sadly they teased us with banjo talk but didn’t ask the question

He’s a good bloke , very humble. He had a straight talking exit interview at the end of last season & hired himself a personal trainer. Then he did all his running with Jack Steele. It shows, I think he ran 12km yesterday

In the post game Fox coverage he said he'd been "sober" for 90-something days and wanted to get to 100.

If we beat Brisbane we might not see him for a month!
Bendigo pub crawl anyone?

Simpkin and Thomas.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

I watched it. Was mostly just discussing his career including his playing days, a bit about coaching St Bede's, a few old clips etc. There wasn't really much talk about the current year, other than him saying it's Richmond first and we're in the pack behind trying to catch them (stating the obvious).

Dont watch the show because of that idiot pang

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

IF any West Australians wish to complain about commentators, I always direct them to their own regional radio. Those guys don’t even know the opposition players and you can regularly get commentary that goes like this:
“Fyfe dispossessed on attacking fifty.... .... strong tackle that.... Hamling dropped a sitter .... Dogs kick a goal”.
That is the full 30 seconds. It’s been like that for years.
Then when I am listening to a game commented on over here (where I am going for Freo/WC), and it’s balanced. Yet, I hear my Freo/WC friends complaining....

That moron Tim gossage needs a belting

 

[Mr. Walker]

Timid footballers NEVER make good coaches

As far as Cameron is concerned I never considered him a timid footballer.

 

[Mr. Walker]

I respectfully disagree with this one too.

 

[ManOfClay]

I respectfully disagree with this one too.

yeah seems harsh on Pang, he’s reasonably funny and comes across as a guy who would be decent to chat to.

I remember a joke he made about his career playing junior rep footy with Jono Brown. Pang recalled his nickname was “the orchid”. Because he needed absolutely perfect conditions to thrive

Hope Bruce wins the Coleman now

I respectfully disagree with this one too.

fair enough, each to tgeir own but inthink his an unfunny idiot.

 

[dergert]

Lol.. Damo having a dig at Bevo on the Sunday footy show about his after match for presser on Friday.

Bevo warned AFL media to back of Norf because they're at ground zero of their rebuild.

Did anyone else see this? Did I mishear it?

Having a dig would be a strong term...

Sounded to me that they thought it was interesting that Bevo was talking about North after being asked a question about the dogs players.

I find this a very negative comment from Jake Niall. He kicked 10 goals I would say most players who kicked 10 or more are in a team that dominated the opposition on the day. Why belittle his performance in an article about North.

 

[ManOfClay]

Bruce is damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.

if he didn’t kick a bag in that result he’s a passenger. He does and he gets that

Thought I heard him call it Pathetic? The sound wasn't up loud.

Ironically there appears a piece trying to get Scott a job right under an article saying how shit is Norf. Scott, the bloke that list managed Norf into their current shit show. Hilarious.
