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

[Doggy]

I didnt say he was. Someone on SEN quoted Mark Bickley saying something about him being li ed to ans S.A. club. My post wasnt all that serious.

Bickley is as far from a credible source as they get.

He's seen the Dunkley's partner, who he has been seeing for only a few months mind you, is playing netball in South Australia and drew as long a bow as possible.

Doesn't matter that netball seasons are short and she may be in Victoria next season given they move around a bit.

Shit journalism is shit

sh*t journalism is sh*t

It'd be a shame if Dunkley left, he's no Bont but his best is in finals.

Libba is the third or fourth player this week who has mentioned big expectations for Timmy English. I really hope they’re right

‘An extra spur’: Dogs use Dees’ celebration to fuel grand final rematch

The Demons linked arms, danced and sang Freed From Desire, the song the Dogs had adopted for the finals, in the middle of Optus Stadium as they celebrated their premiership triumph last year. Marcus Bontempelli says it will give “a bit of an extra spur to round one”.

Pressure's on!

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

We could watch footy for 100 years and we'd still know less than Buckley's or Bev's bootlaces. A bit of respect for our betters.

Buckley is easy to replicate as it’s a bunch of cliches

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Is mindless adulation discussion ? That's not an accusation I level at you, F 32

Mindless adulation of Judith Durham isn’t

Josh Dunkley pours cold water on a move to Adelaide

Dunkley's future has been the topic of much talk this week, with Crows legend Mark Bickley suggesting the 25-year-old could head across state when his contract expires at the end of the season.

www.dailymail.co.uk

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Yes, I was speaking generally about commenting on selections as well as re JUH.
Bit harsh to say people who suggest playing him are in the grip of mindless adulation. I think on average his performances in the games he played were pretty good and better than a couple of others who were and are getting more games. So I think it's a reasonable suggestion that he be played if recovered enough from his Covid.
And like others, find some selections 'head scratchers'. But getting back on the fence, I know Bev probably has a bit more knowledge of what is going on there than me....

Bevo certainly does a better Chopper than you Fos

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

This is really niave. All the big contract decisions for 2023 are made right now - behind closed doors.

Make no mistake this is a huge 6 months for the club. With essentially half our list out of contract at the end of year - opposition clubs will be circling with huge offers.

With English - looks like his manger is negotiating in public which is never a great sign. His manager was on SEN during the week and said he wasn't happy last year with being pulled out of the ruck for lewis Young in big finals and that a few Melbourne clubs were circling in the trade period last year. This is clearly a play for more $$ that we are not willing to offer given his performances over the last 2 years.

With Dunkley - how could it be a shock given the surprise he sprung on everyone just over 12months ago? Looks like he is getting advice from someone ( maybe his dad) that he should maximise his earning potential at every opportunity whilst he can.

Listen to the comments from Dunkleys mouth would be my suggestion for example the podcast on the AFL website yesterday

Yes English would bea chance but a lot of water to go yet

Power is no fool the current situation hasn’t just crept up on him after reading it on Twitter. I am confident we will keep the players we want to

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

The peanut Damo is back with his highly insightful sliding doors column.
I hate the Brisbane love fest in the media.

Yep I agree what the f..k is it about Brisbane that the media love? They are hometown heroes

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Sort of agreed with his take on us, Bevo sometimes tries to play 4D chess a bit too much. His other takes are hilarious but:

Brissy - Have lost 5 of 6 finals (5 of them being at the GABBA) and shown a propensity to bottle the big moments. They are prime to win the 2023 flag!
Geelong - Terrible finals record, not improved any of their weaknesses and Scott still despised by most of the fan base. Don't rule them out for the 2023 flag!

No his take on Bevo was his normal cowardly sh.t

 

[Bulldogs Legend]

Unless I’ve missed a very curious development in which Che Guevara, Gandhi and Rosa Luxembourg formed some sort of Scooby Doo-esque mystery solving team solely focused on AFL, I very much doubt any of them would give a singular fu** about last year’s grand final.

Can some legend post the age articles in full?

Real good listen, Treloar is a real genuine person. Props to him being able to be away from his partner and daughter though, I certainly couldn't.

And that's a GOOD thing

Go well, young Darcy! How's the recovery going?

 

[BrunswickDog]

The bevo and johnno interview on the club website is quite a good listen. Bevo guarded, but still insightful

apparently had a dig at our running capacity on grand final day.

 

[lateniter]

Have i just been unlucky or is Fox Footy going overboard with last year's grand final?
Every time I take a peek at AFL360 I see celebrations continuing.
Tonight for a nano second I saw something about the other mob's preliminary final win! Jeezus.
Didn't dare watch On the Couch.
I hope they're guzzling that bathwater.

 

[dergert]

The media are really pumping up this rivalry stuff.

We'd be copping a pasting about our arrogance if we did half the shit they're doing.
