What They're Saying - The Bulldogs Media Thread - Part 4

[TMoney22]

Don't ever tell me that the coach has lost the group.

This is why I don't give AF when he screws up in the media.

Anyway, here’s the full video

Between the podcast and then him recreating the passage and laughing about the free kick that wasn't paid against him that should have cost them the game, I doubt he's getting too many AFLPA MVP votes from any non-Bombers.

Oh yeah, and I heard if Draper stays, there will be off field staff lining up to get out of Tullamarine...

 

[X_box_X]

Remind me, did Draper make those comments after the Bombers beat us?

 

[Libbaaaa]

Remind me, did Draper make those comments after the Bombers beat us?

He made them when he was 10 deep on crappy Tradie beers.

 

[X_box_X]

Yeah but was it after they had beaten us? If so, look out next time we play them.

 

[Doggy]

Yeah but was it after they had beaten us? If so, look out next time we play them.

They should probably look out anyway. It will be back to the norm next time

It's getting mighty close to that 20 year anniversary of their last finals victory. Only a few days left.

Someone who was born when they last won a final will be able to legally drink in the USA by the time those has-beens win their next final.

I’d hope they’d passed into the next life by the time they win their next final. Long may they suffer

 

[X_box_X]

I'm surprised that we only hold a 15-10 W/L record against Essendon since they last won a final. I thought it would be much more lopsided than that considering we have won nine of our last 11 against them. They really had the wood over us between 2011 and 2014 winning all six matches during that period.

You forgot that us, the team their supporters continually hang shit on, have worn a flag, played in another GF and are in it up to our necks again all with Ike their dopey ruckman is saying the coach has lost the players….id say the only player he’s lost is Smith and I reckon that’s where Drapers comments originated from.

I hope they never win another final in my lifetime and I’m only 50 next year and plan to go on a lot longer yet

I've noticed a few opposition team forums have threads dedicated to Essendon's failures / 20-year anniversary. Fun times. Well worth a read if you're bored.

 

[grassman75]

You can tell how much I loathe them….along with Hawks, Blues, Dees and Saints

I actually like and respect Collingwood

No Geeeelooong?

 

[grassman75]

I probably hate them more now, but not above the other list. I actually enjoyed watching them through their battles with the Hawks and Saints….i am over them always being there though now

Someone had to stop the hawks and also keep the saints from winning a flag

Just imagine if we had their draw every year, 7 games at a ground that only they play, other home games at the MCG, mysteriously always a double up with a bottom team, Essendon twice in 2016, West Coast and North Melbourne this year, we would make finals every year too, but do a bit better than one premiership in 11 years.

And finish every year at KP against an it interstate team with nothing to play for.

So, the Herald Sun has article today giving Steve Johnson’s thoughts on how each team will go in the finals. I haven’t bothered to read it yet
BUT, the pictures they’ve used are a little strange:-

And
Lachie Bramble
Now he’s had a very good year and has changed many people’s opinion of him, mine included, and I really enjoy watching him, but it’s a pretty weird choice. They have so many big names they could have used, especially the biggest in the game right now.

 

[geoffjennings79]

But isn't that Lachie Bramble?!
