Gee it's not far away now.

It's a tough job selecting from a fit list. I understand Adam t is doing well. I wonder if round one is too soon for him.It's hard removing a gf player for him and anyone else for that matter.

I would think Hunt is an auto in but again tough to break up a gf winning side.

Hunt aint no auto in, in fact he aint even the next one in, in my team but I'm not on the selection panel so maybe he's got a chance.

A lot of water to flow under the bridge before round 1 - IMVHO Hunt is probably in the best 26 (or so) but no lock in for 22.

So much discussion about Hunt, Smith, Weid, Tomlinson, Dunstan et al and whom they would/could replace.

It's unrealistic to think that the Club could have another dream run with injuries and, of course, covid in 2022, so these players will get their chances this season.

My Old Man's into the mid 50's. He must be sick of the theme song by now. 

Didn’t think this was possible. 😁 That’s another great thing about the GF replay on December 5th: because it was only Dees fans in attendance we got to indulge in the song so many times while the boys were doing their lap after the medal presentation. Countless times, in fact. And all consecutively. It was pure joy. 

Tomorrow is my birthday.

I am going to give myself a real treat.

I am going to watch the whole of the 2021 Grand Final

I was happy, then sad and all of the sudden .... Deliriously happy.

Happy Birthday

i hope we win!

I love watching it when Bont kicks that goal. His celebration isn’t a “I just kicked a good goal.” It’s so overdone it’s a “I just won the premiership for us.” Never get too excited until the siren goes. The funniest thing was Trelor kicked the next goal and his lack of celebration afterwards. Bont must have felt so stupid after the game, what his that premature celebration captured all over the screen.

One thing about watching the replay of game you are not as tense as watching it live and hoping when we were 19 points down that we could make a game of it and win the game.

I also watched us lose the 1954 GF game.

To all those people who were virgin premiers this year enjoy it because when I watched my first in 1955 when I was 9, I hoped we could repeat the dose in the near future.

In 1964 when we won the GF my father said that the team had probably reached its zenith and we need some fresh blood to win another I did not realise it would be 57 years till the next one and my father passed away in 2007 still hoping to see a premiership.

So enjoy this premiership but they are bloody hard to repeat unless your injury luck is good and the players that you do lose are not long term and are replaceable with your depth players.

Maybe I’ve done this correctly (?)

I’m not sure if this works. I hope so, it’s a great read!

I remember at half time i was sitting there pretty down trying to prepare myself to watch the most important half of football in my life.The dogs were the only team i thought would give us a game and to that point they had. 

Bont goal sailed over my head and i thought that was the game. Thank god i was wrong!

Here here I was on the wing / half forward  line in a Melb section on the public side of the ground and thought exactly the same from half time to Bonts goal.

When you look at the game again  our defenders saved the game by only allowing 2 goals in half a quarter of footy .Digs had attacked and then if by manic we clicked into gear with 2 goals to establish our claim on the Flag.

It was never in doubt from 3/4 time on as we finished far too strong for the Doggies  in one of greatest Finals wins ever. 
So well deserved by everyone in the Red and Blue team and supporters!

I’ve got a standing annual bet with a Bulldogs mate on which team finishes higher on the ladder. Been going on for about 7 years and has cost me dearly… but not this time!

It rotates between a keg party or long lunch, and today’s the day! If you live around Nortcote, there is a strong weather warning of smugness 😁

What is a leg party?

Haha you beat me to the edit! It’s the pronunciation of a keg party at the end of one… usually slurring the ‘eeee’s put a bit more!

I’m in the area Wiz, I’ll keep a close weather  eye out for any smugness. Let it rip, God know we’ve earned it!
