  1. Another goal to the Dogs and I can't see us making the margin back up. Almost the entire team has [censored] the bed.
  2. Coaching masterclass since QT from Beveridge here. Goodwin being completely outplayed. We've absolutely crumbled. This is heartbreaking.
  3. My gut feel is whoever wins Q3 wins the game. We've gone totally off the boil but I'm not sure if it's Beveridge's coaching or our defence falling to pieces.
  4. Our players need to perfect the art of ducking into tackles. Rewards you with free shots on goal that result in goals (per Lachie Hunter).
  5. We missed some great opportunities in the first quarter too, that really burns.
  6. I feel sick right now. I'm scared to see what happens next, especially if the Dogs get the first goal in Q3.
  7. That fumble in the first quarter was a shocker too. He doesn't look right at all.
  8. That second goal was sickening. Naughton clearly ran behind play and cut off Viney. We need to be better than this and account for their tactics. How did they not study this?
  9. Why didn't we even see a review of that? It looked like a goal on the broadcast. Very confusing.
  10. Well it's a simple equation for here. If the club is as good as we want to believe they are, they can wrangle this back. If not... well... we all know the outcome.
  11. This feels like a repeat of round 19, not round 11. Not looking good right now.
  12. Was that our worst quarter for the year, barring that quarter against Geelong in Round 23? Worse, so many missed opportunities in that first quarter too, we could have almost snuffed them out before we even hit QT.
  13. Not looking good at all right now. It's like the Dogs had 2 extra players all quarter. Everything looked so promising after the first quarter 😪
  14. Defence has completely [censored] the bed. What the hell has gone wrong? We looked so composed in the first quarter!!!
  15. We've gone off the boil. What the hell has happened? C'mon boys, get back into the contested game!!!
  16. Feels like we've just wasted an entire quarter of dominance in the space of 5 minutes.
  17. There's only been a few games this year where I wasn't a nervous wreck... both previous finals. Maybe it was a coping mechanism, my MFCSS-scarred brain anticipating disappointment like in 2018. ...but we won. Twice. Could this be the real deal, at last? I feel eerily calm right. I'm not sure if the nerves have finally settled, or if it's the beer talking. I expect I'll be a nervous wreck in the morning. I'm so proud of what the team has achieved this year, it's beyond anything I expected. I just hope they leave nothing in the tank tomorrow. Wear the colours proud, boys!
  18. It only really hit me in the last few hours re-watching the QF and reading some articles. We're actually playing in a Grand Final. The last time this happened I was 13 and didn't understand just how much it meant. 21 years later... I understand. Still not sure if it's really sunk in yet... I might be saying the same thing 24 hours from now.
  19. I understand why it was brought in, but when was the last time the Bulldogs even stepped foot in a COVID hotspot? They've rotated between Tasmania, QLD and now SA over the last fortnight. There's no reason they shouldn't be able to fly to WA tonight/tomorrow and play at Optus next Saturday. They're being gifted a huge advantage to recover and help injured players get back in, just like 2016.
  20. I guess it's fitting that the best two teams of 2021 end up in the Grand Final together, but if the Bulldogs win in a fortnight the AFL must scrap the pre-finals-grand-final-whatever-final bye. We should not be disadvantaged for finishing as minor premiers then winning both finals, while another team (who blew up their top 4 position) is rewarded with a week off to rest up before the big dance. It was already a farce back in 2016, it will be even worse with the last-minute scheduling change in 2021.
