  1. It truly amazes me how the Media World have talked up The Bulldogs list as being elite for years. I am not taking anything away from today’s performance, but the Dogs are very ordinary. 
    Particularly Radio 📻 scribes, their whole analysis is just totally wrong 

    Nice 👍 to kick relatively accurately today for a change. 
    Makes a huge difference 

    Go Demons

    Nothing little about him. He is a big fat sweaty pink mess of a man. His opinion is worth as much as the next uneducated drunk at the local pub.

    Glad Gus has a role at the club in the short term. His leadership and footy brain will be a big help to the players.

    His Brain 🧠 is very small

  3. It really is incredible. After 54 years of watching Footy, I honestly didn’t think I could hate Collingwood any more than I did before. I have always hated Collingwood 

    But seriously the hate has gone up 10x

    Re. Brayshaw’s payout;

    ”Fellow AFL 360 co-host Mark Robinson called for the funds to be taken from inside Melbourne’s salary cap.”

    And then he goes on to qualify that with;

    “My gut feel is if you sign someone to a long-term deal – I don’t want to be flippant about this but unless someone passes or literally can’t play football beyond circumstances it should go in the cap.”

    ummm is being forced to medically retire pretty much exactly “can’t play football beyond circumstances”?

     

    the Slobinator really Knows how to push my buttons.

     

     

    F&@$ I would love to get Robinson in a Room alone for 10 minutes. He is a pathetic little joke. 
    These sort of comments really make me Red Hot Angry. 
    Angus was forced to retire through an act of thuggery. He was wide open as he had just completed a kick…

    Bwa ha, excellent. First saw them in the club context during the 'lockdown life' videos during Covid. Clearly a key ingredient for our success.

    Perfectly respectable snack, too.

    Ready to have your mind blown? In my home we eat them with chopsticks - no greasy fingers. #multicultural

    Regular crisps are both too clumpy and too loose for that to be practical, but harvest snaps it works a charm and is particularly suited to the deep bag design.

    Okay, my ad is over, can I have some influencer perks now?

    WTF???

    Totes agree. The club and supporters are followers in too many areas and wait for something to happen. We are too PC and wanting to be liked rather than respected. 
     

    Being asked to be louder in 2022 is seen as offensive. Maybe we were not creating an energy fitting of lifting our players to be better in a finals series. Maybe we were mirroring what the players were projecting in field. It was not good enough either way. the MCG was flat lining that night, no doubt. 
     

    The club stood back with Gus and his health. We allowed a narrative for the Filth to be seen as victims as Maynard may miss finals. Eddie showed his passion. I hated it, but it has to be respected.
     

    The club stood back in his retirement when Gus mentioned the Maynard incident being a big factor to him retiring early. Have not heard the club going hard for a club history making Premiership player losing his passion and job. Is the club too worried about aligning itself with the AFL and the concussion legal issues? If so, in the process, Gus gets light weight backing from the club. Not a way to treat of club champions. 
     

    I don’t wanna be so disrespectful as Eddie and the filth, but I want more from the club in making a point of view other than backing our coach being subject to gambling and drug taking rumours. 
     

    Absolutely Spot On

    You have to think BIG to aim there. Same with Perty. 75,000 members nearly there Flags from all teams in 4 years. 

    Some fans don’t know how hard it is in the AFL, it is extraordinarily competitive, I hate it when some cans say we don’t get crowds. We are usually in the first half dozen each season now. MCG is a bonus for us we deserve as our home ground for money making. 50,000 plus average was a dream a decade ago. 

    Yes we are on a good track. I worry a little about The Gamestyle, we simply have to kick better scores 

    9 Goals a game simply won’t cut it long term. We have to trade hard next summer for KPF’s. We may have to trade some midfielders to do it. 
    But we simply have to score more efficiently

  8. It’s quite simple, we need 80-90,000 loud and passionate supporters (at least) to compete with the other large clubs 

    We are Melbourne, but we can be as big and loud as The Filth, without becoming anything like them. 
     

    We have to intensely despise (hate) all of the opposition clubs, fight for just The Demons. 
    During The Norm Smith years we were the Biggest, most feared & The most hated club in the land. 
     

    We can return to that place again…

  9. Good

    As long as the Club continues to think of itself as Big and Growing. Last year we got shafted badly, we have to stand up and play hard ball on and off the ground. 
    Years ago we merely made up the numbers. 
    Not anymore…

    Yep. She had an opportunity to show the AFL has a backbone and would take  players health more seriously etc. She failed. Maynard now has a premiership medal and a long career ahead of him while Angus is retired. The way she handled that incident was a poor start to her tenure. Anyone can say they're not happy, but actions speak louder than words. She took no action and didn't challenge the tribunal result either. Rules been changed since, but justice was not served. 

    Not to say she won't redeem herself and do valuable things in her GM role, but I don't see anything overly impressive yet.

    100% agreed. I was appalled that the tribunal decision was not strongly appealed 

    Absolutely nothing happened. 
    Maynard got NOTHING, was free to continue playing. 
    The AFL are interested in only making $$$

    Corruption at a very high level

    I heard that he did his 'nana when he discovered that Schwab hadn't told him about the additional over the counter payments.  I think he self-reported to the AFL.

    I think he self reported on live TV (The Footy Show) and from there it was followed up…

    Never a dull moment with Diamond Joe

    Not sure that we are quite the destination club some consider ourselves to be.

    As you mention, money talks, but when was the last time we poached an A grader or a serious young star? May and Lever feel like an eternity ago. Maybe Grundy (say no more)?

    We were prepared to pay $600k for Grundy, when we already had the best ruck in the game, yet can't knock on the door of a power forward???

    That’s exactly what i am saying 

    Now is the time to get that A Grader, regardless of their contract status. 
    we will have Gus’s wage to use. 
    We have to make offers that cannot be refused 

    it’s time to break the mould

    We need to kick goals…
