The Dogs motto for the finals was "Why not us?"

Brilliant.

Boyd still looks like a log, but it's in games like this that can turn careers. Just look at Tom Hawkins.

Is this one of the greatest posts on Demonland? I think so. A minute later Boyd kicked his first.

I also called the Boyd will kick the winning goal with my mates. Winner. The MFC in 2018! ;) 

 

So it's official.

Dees the longest between flags !! :(

Great game Pups. You wanted it. A fantastic game.Woof

Played just as I predicted. Congratulations Bulldogs.


Tom Boyd was immense in the second 0nd half. Earnt nis salary big time. Boyd, Johannisen and Picken were really good as were Rampe, Kennedy and Grundy for the Swans.

The head tells me I am crazy, but genuinely think the Dogs will win this by about 20 points. If they are within 3 goals at quarter time they will win it. Am also tipping some Buddy inaccuracy will burn the swans and Johanison (sp?) to get Coleman

Wish I was a gambling man!!!

Not quite sure about that, but I think you may have just posted the record for most self-quoted posts.

You're definitely a legend AF, but for now, lunchtime is over.

Same motto used by the Red Sox in 2004 when they won their first world series in 86 years


Boyd was great, Johannisen absolutely butchered the ball today but got plenty of it, Picken was very good, but Kennedy was just sensational.

 

A half back winning the Norm Smith. Step up, Jayden Hunt. ;)

Liam Picken.....suck shlt Collingwood lol

I want to be happy for the Dogs.

But I'm just depressed as [censored].

It's good but we should follow

"We're not here to take part-we're here to take over."

To think we hired Mark Neeld while there were guys like Luke Beveridge kicking around.

Don’t worry. Paul Roos will get us the flag next year.

But Kennedy wasn't wearing red, white and blue. 

I thought Kennedy was BOG by a mile. 


 

Bevo has turned the theory that coaches shouldn't get too close to their players on its ear. Those blokes love each other.

I'm happy that our blokes love Goodwin.

I'm happy for the Bulldogs, destroys the myth that you need to be a rich club to win premierships.

On top of that, that you can't win a flag from outside the top 8.

Digging through threads on bigfooty, I got hounded when I said you can't understate the pressure and skill of finals football, that ANYONE can win it if they believe they can.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
