A reminder that when we played the Hawks, they were two games clear on top of the ladder.

We started their downfall.  

In all seriousness, if we hadn't beat them, this final series would have ended up completely differently in terms of matchups.

Haha. Fantastic. I will definitely not repeat that on any other forums out of respect for the Dogs

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

And with his final words of the night, Bruce managed to make it about Hawthorn. Well done Bruce.

And we should be very proud of that. Showed their vulnerability.

We showed a blueprint on how to beat them when many other teams couldn't.

McLure destroying Dermie: "We had to clean up those tears"

[Robot Devil 1,895]

So I assume Jeff Kennett will be releasing a statement shortly?

Also, can't decide if Clarkson press conference will end in violence or stony silence.

What do the Bulldogs do that makes them so good

They RUN and they handball FAST

When they have the ball they create space for the next in line receiver, ie they dont all run TO the ball. Most run away from the best receiver .... 

When they dont have the ball they move in and crowd the ball and the likely next receiver of the opposition. 

They are fantastically well coached. ,... An absolutely modern coach indeed

Good luck to them

Watching the Dogs, they have so many classy outside players and run and carry but hit targets. I'd hope we're looking for similar players this trade period; we've got our fair supply of inside mids but we need more legspeed.

I took the stupid smiley out of my original post, as I was dead serious.

Against all odds knocked them off when they otherwise would have gone 3 games clear and finished on top.  We slayed the giant, finally after 10 years.  We got in their heads and filled their entire club with self doubt.

Clarkson tried to shrug it off after the game, but no doubt we rattled them.  And now they are done, hopefully for a long time,  and we will have a new premier.

I loved hearing the Bont then. He basically disagreed with many points the Fox team brought up. A Champion A grader like him is an intelligent footballer, understands exactly how the team won, corrects outsiders when they bring up cliche's

Bulldogs win because they

1. win the contested footy

2. use quick hands (handballs) to a player in a BETTER POSITION

3. believe in themselves (Beveridge says we work on our strengths and stay positive)

4. pressure and tackling is not negotiable (discipline)

5. Bontempelli and Macrae ... midfield stars

[Robbie57 2,020]

Well done dogs.  Bye bye Hawks.

I had a good chuckle to myself a few minutes ago thinking about Lewis' pathetic comments about how they didn't show up against us.

Would love to walk up to him and ask why his team didn't show up against the Dogs tonight. Deadset arrogant [censored].

[Sideshow Bob 2,386]

Wonder if Clarko will blame inexperience again like he did after losing to us....

ADELAIDE PLS

[SaberFang 7,151]

I reckon both Sydney and Adelaide will destroy a slow, boring defensive outfit like Geelong. And I bloody hope they do!

Would love nothing more than to see this endless cherry-picking recruitment strategy from teams like Geelong and Hawthorn crash & burn.

Love watching the Hawkers getting smashed two weeks in a row! Champagne viewing!

The irony of the dogs next week playing the ex captain who left them high and dry...

And don't forget Ward, who walked out on them for money.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Why aren't GWS forced to play at ANZ like the Swans were? Soulless Stadium holds 24k, more than 24k will want to go. 

[SaberFang 7,151]

Clarkson whinging about the umpiring. [censored] spare me!

[deelete my account 1,194]

 

103 tackles and only 3 HTB, HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? 

SALT.
