I just love my footy club.  Finally, I can say it with pride and real belief.  Dad, I hope we can do it for you.  If we do, I'll make sure the fridge is stocked with Abbotsford lager.  By the way, can you please have a word with the big fella up there, to make sure he smiles upon us for the rest of the year and tell him to have a word to Norm and let him know it is ok to let go of the curse..... finally

From the Bulldog Bigfooty. Sounds like a reasonable doggie:
 

 

Melbourne were absolutely first rate. That was a benchmark win and kudos to them.

We aren’t that far away though and I’d really love to see us go round 2 against them with Dunkley and Treloar back in the team. They might still roll us though. Reminded me of Geelong at their best. Hard and skilled and Gawn is a deadset superhero.

In the end we probably could have won by more. Some ump decisions kept Dogs closer than they should have been.

And the Bont’s a great player but was shown up tonight. You wouldn’t know it though by the 7 commentary with Richo surprisingly the worst offender.

But I no complain. Go Dees!!

In my best BT impression, 

"Gee they could have used the Bont the tonight."

Take a bow James Harmes, finally back to being the tagger he is meant to be!

Back to his 2019 form ....Statistically 2nd best for the year that season.

I would love to see us play them at the G with Viney. See ya in September.

Said the same to my wife after the game.  Dad and I had reserved seats, gf tix etc for 22 years together and whilst a premiership will be the best I’ll always regret we never got to share one together.

Lol loved how we dropped one game by one point last week and the people suggesting that our season was over.

A great win. All game we never look threatened and led all night. Clarry, Harmes, Sparrow, what can I say? Brilliant. Gawn improving too.

A lazy last quarter where we only scored one point, but a great game to watch. We proved we can beat the top teams. Bring on Brisbane.

Surely Footscray are no longer premiership favourites. Top of the ladder back where we belong ??

Some of us know Pennant. My only post on the game day thread was stop Libba and we are a chance and Harmes was the obvious one. Thought Harmes was great.

Yes Redleg Harmes was excellent thought the Demonland whipping boy Melksham did some good work on Macrae the first half

Only one goal between Pickett, ANB and Spargo but all were superb tonight.

Immense pressure from start to finish.

All contributed - interestingly I thought that it was far from Jackson's best game ... didn't do much in the ruck ... but he will be back.

I don’t think Langdon being subbed out was for [censored] and giggles, the doctor has to believe the player has an injury that will rule him out for the next 12 days, if the player recovers before that he can play, but only “IF” the AFL sign off on the player playing. The doctor also has to write a medical certificate for the player by the next working day and submit it to the AFL. A stupid risk to take for [censored] and giggles. ??‍♂️

 

Surely it would be just plain stupid to roll the dice using. a medical sub in the last 5 minutes when the game was over ... could have rested him just with a rotation (assuming any remaining).

This is such a great feeling! And it goes well with a few single malts! Just need to find the right woman and that’s the set completed.

It was the role players who did it for me tonight.

Spargo, ANB, Petty, Harmes, Brayshaw all take a bloody bow.

Yeah but it’s the CLUB doctor. Not an independent one. 

Yes, but still a Doctor, I assume that they could get in trouble from the medical board if it was found out they signed off for sh1ts and giggles? We know clubs bend the rule, I just wouldn’t want to give the AFL a chance to rule that we breached it and not allow Langdon to play next week if he’s not injured, especially considering it was only for the last minute, Sparrow didn’t even touch the ball. I really don’t trust the AFL when it comes to us. ?

Ahhh Goodwin and his belief of winning from the contest out is the game style that only stacks up in finals...

Plan A.

Yet another brilliantly planned coaching performance. Time to extend his contract

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
