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.

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

    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.

    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

    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].

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

    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.

    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.

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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
