Whoever said we should get rid of him are complete idiots

I have sat back the last few months and laughed out loud at the comments from the wannabe footy experts on this forum

Absolutely rapt that Byron was able to play such a great game. Yes he does still have a lot to offer - the ball is in his court though isn't it? If he can continue form like he displayed tonight, I would love to see him back again next year - I have said it before, he was my MOST hated player in the AFL before he came to the Dees - he is just such an intimidating presence on the field - you literally see players baulking away when they see him coming.

I am also positive that he would have been playing for the memory of Ernie Dingo's brother who was killed in a car accident this week. We all read about Ernie Dingo supporting Byron in recent times so it is great to see that Byron was able to give him something back.

Well done Byron!!!

One game - one - for the year that matches his potential and the masses are begging Byron to stay. I'm happy with the suitcase being packed and personal items posted to wherever the hell he wants. Fat after preseason, half-arsed through the year and he turns up now...WOW what a professional. What a great example. Let's keep him. How pathetic are we that a one-off effort impresses so much.

Thanks for the memory.

I agree that one game is not enough - Byron still has a lot to proove and he owes his team and his supporters plenty. I do think, however, that it is a credit to him that he is still prepared to give it a go - and so he bloody should given the $$$ he gets. There is no doubt that the Byron that can come out to play would still have a lot to offer our team next year. We just have to hope he can serve it up again next week and beyong. Maybe he can hang one on Joffa over the fence (accidentally on purpose) when he is celebrating a goal.

He was down on form and injured.. maybe he needs a better motivator than the last coach.. true his year has been bad, but don't you remember last year?? against so many teams, he WAS the difference - he is such an imposing presence on the field that he deserves leeway for being undiciplined or whatever... up and down is better than not having him at all!

Sorry to say I am with Tim on this one......

Played a great game tonight? Well thats fantastic but it is about bloody time.

Yes he has been down on form throughout this season that is obvious, but part of that is due to his total lack of commitment in regards to his fitness. But there also seem to be no drive (or at least there wasn't) to play and if that isn't there then he is just wasting space on the list. If he truly wants to play then he will show us but I am not going to be sold on a single performance at the end of a wasted season, where is has definitely let a hell of a lot of people down.

Good pick up. What a surprise.

Performances like last night do not exonerate players nor undermine the criticism of many "star' players this year. They merely put in bold the serious questions about many players contribution throughout the year.

I'm with you timD all the way. I'd carry his bags out.

I cant believe the chortling white knights of mediocrity champion one game out of a whole season then bleat like cut sheep why we are so inconsistent and go missing so often.

Bulldogs had about as much heart for hard work as Paris Hilton for jail. They were inept. We beat little last night.

What a joke.

We are too easily pleased.

I saw him standing on the wing, unable to chase, short of breath. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

If he can't run up and down the ground, he shouldn't be playing AFL footy. His fitness is a joke, even if his skills and aggression are up to scratch.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
