Yaawwwn.

As a relative newbie to DL, but a fanatic nonetheless, the childish [censored]-for-tat on some threads are getting reeeally boring. I'm looking at you picket and stuie amongst others.

I come on here to observe and engage in footy discussion on the 'team we love', not schoolyard dummy spits and d**k waving!!

Can't ya'll grow up and play nice? 

We're all here with the same passion.

 GO DEES. Take it right up to the Dogs and do us proud this week. 

Melbourne by 5-7 goals.

There is an awesome feature called the "ignore" function. Let's you hide any posts from an individual, I think this will come in handy.

Worst post of the year? There's some serious contenders I need to beat. 

Not even in the top 500 of worst posts. And i'm being serious,

Imagine our back line without TMac, Garland, Jetta, Wagner and Omac and that's the Bulldogs backline right now

A couple interesting (?) of posts from the Dogs fan forum (woof.net.au):

Good to see Salem back for the Dees. Always good to have someone to truly hate. {reason]  Watch him closely sometime. He's very mouthy.

I still reckon Melbourne will regret giving pick 2 ( Josh Kelly) for him and Tyson

I'm sick of seeing Adcock in the team. He's a liability and I fear it's a Bevo love in that has him selected each week. I want Webb or Honey in the team.

lol Salem of all people. They must be unfamiliar with the stylings of Dunn, Bugg, Kent and Jones. 

Bit nervous about this one considering we haven't won back to back games since rounds 4 and 5. Time to break the hoodoo!

Viney is as lippy as they come on the field haha! 

I still think Tyson is as good as Josh Kelly on his own, especially given he's in pretty good form at the moment, and Salem is a very solid best 22 walk up start with the talent to be a genuine A grader, i've always been very comfy with that trade!

Jacko, Demonland is a microcosm of society, there are all types here. Some suggest the ignore feature but I prefer to skim some posters. Often the worst culprits have something interesting to say. As in society we learn to deal with the idiots, the wankers and the pedants (like me). One thing is certain, we all love our team, we simply do it differently.

I'm with you, read some of the posts, have a good laugh, and move on, unfortunately/fortunately there are all types on here, some posters just need to finally realise this and not read what they don't agree with, unless of course they can come up with a reasonable counter argument rather than just name calling....i wish.....my problem, I defend myself when attacked, misquoted, denigrated or lied about, also have the chutzpah to fess up when wrong, unlike some

The Dogs are missing Murphy, Johanissen, Suckling, Koby Stevens, Tom Boyd and Adams. A big loss will be unacceptable.

Mate.

This is the Dees you're talking about.

No amount of opposition players missing will influence a result for us.

In fact, if anything we're worse off, such is our history against undermanned sides.

I was thinking the same thing SteveHermanDan.

A couple of the Dogs ins are average players who normally play like stars against us. Not interested in their ins and outs.

I like it.

The Bulldogs are just getting away with an undermanned back half because the ball isn't going down there too often. Last week Adelaide only had 37 inside 50s (kicking 17 goals). The Bulldogs had 68. We had a whopping 75 against the Suns. In other words the Crows didn't get many opportunities to score but when they did, they did.

Watts was saying in an interview (over on the JV FS thread) that the Bulldogs are No. 1 in the league for contested possessions being +28. If we can even break even on the CP count this will put increased pressure on their backs.

Hopefully the most run coming out of the Bullies backline will be from the umpires bringing it back to the centre

Part of me is willing to accept that last game against the dogs was an aberration, something was clearly off with the boys and that was the first time I really noticed Nate Jones was hampered. He was bumped off the ball by Lin Jong, I kinda hope someone brings that up to him through the week!

This is the game where it all needs to click, it clicked for the second half last week and we showed (again) we can score quickly when we get a run on but the Dogs are a totally different kettle of fish the GC. 

Really looking forward to this game, both teams have points to prove and both don't shy away from the contest. It'll be interesting to see who we play on Stringer. 

That's a complex zoological species.

All the experts in all the papers (except Emma Quayle) have backed the Doggies! I love it when we start as "underdog" (because we never seem to win when we are favourites (e.g. Essendon and St Kilda))! I get a good feel about Sunday. ANB in for Kent otherwise no change warranted. Go Dees!

I suspect the longer term plan was for Salem to play HBF in 2016 and then move to a permanent midfield role in 2017. However, with the recent success of Wagner and Hunt on the HBF, Salem's move into the midfield may happen as soon as this week.
