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

We started their downfall.  :ph34r:

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

Praying the Crows get into the granny, the Cats and Swans have had enough success the past 10 years.  At least we are guaranteed one fresh team making it in (Gws or Dogs). Crows vs Bulldogs grand

Dogs are blowing all kinds of theory's (excuses) out of the water. - injuries  - playing underdone players - lack of finals experience  - the travel factor from the week before

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

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

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

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

 

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.

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

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].

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.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
