Chook

Sweet goal from the rich man's Toumpas to keep us in this. Hopefully that will steady us.

Compared to the doggies players, our boys just have no idea where to position themselves. This will be a drubbing.

Bulldogs' defensive structures are so good. They always know where each other player is.

After doing so well for 5 minutes, two terrible disposals from defenders completely deflates us and we're 7 points down just like that. Terrible.

We must be the most scored-against team on the rebound in the AFL.

Viney is awesome.

Actually we've had the hardest draw. We're one of only twelve teams that haven't played Melbourne.

nothing go back to bed

So...do I have to barrack against Adelaide for the rest of the year? Because my family members in South Australia aren't going to like that.

I started following the Dees as a young'un without ever having heard of RDB. He's just a bonus.

I wish I were tall. Then I'd be able to get on an AFL list and stay there forever without having to play a single game.

I'd like a constant aerial picture-in-picture shot showing where all the players are.

We'll get smashed. If I'm right, I'm right. If I'm wrong, we win. So it's win win.

I could have been anything but I was cruelled by overeating and lack of talent.

I did a ladder predictor last night, and sadly I found that after just about every round...we were ninth. #Ninthbourne.

Nope. Next week the Doggies will look at the sun, get scared that something so big and bright could exist, and lose.

Rich man's Toumpas. VERY rich man's Toumpas.

A team's rebuild is only as good as that team played the weekend before an article is written — or so the Media would have you believe.

New Balance is a very good company. Not only do they make the best sports gear (including shoes), they also support the MFC. What more could you want? This post has been brought to you by New Balance.

Adem Yze must be a billionaire.

"We've been brainstorming excuses all week and we've come up with some doozies! So fair to say we're prepared!"

A full rebuild lasts as long as it takes for the best first year player at a club to play his last game at that club. Where that gets you depends on everything that has happened between that player's first game and his last. So for us (Nathan Jones), our full rebuild started in Round 17 of 2006 and will probably last until the Preliminary Final of 2020.

Nick Riewoldt has been very good this year, and I suspect his rankings have been badly hampered by a concussion in one round and a knee injury in another. I'd take a fully fit Riewoldt over any of those other players even now, at his age.

Most notably it was Lord Travis on the Post Match Discussion thread, quoting "a friend who works at the club and can pass on that the coaching staff singled out a few players in the review."

I don't want to get into a nitpick debate either, but I'd rank them: 1 Riewoldt 2 Vince 3 Jones 4 Montagna
