I actually thought the Doggies supporters were pretty loud during their run of goals, if I had to guess probably a 60/40 split our way? Maybe I'm being too generous too them but I was sitting in the Southern, sorry - Shane Warne, Stand so wasn't surrounded by as many Melbourne supporters as in the Northern Stand.

Yep he was a very good footballer but unfortunately he's remembered by supporters of other clubs as being a thug. It's a disservice to his reputation because he was a highly skilled and tough footballer. The only bloke who has been able to shut Terry Wallace up too 🤣 The clip they showed on the front bar where he was looking after Yeats and then gave a quick jab to the guts to Andy Goodwin(?) had me in stitches. How can you not love the guy.

That seems strange, did you buy them direct through the MFC website (setting up new user accounts) or was it through your existing online membership account? I bought one for my mother in law a couple of weeks back and set up a new online account for her which is where I put her name etc and also received a confirmation email (but it may not have been straight away).

Only solution is to buy more guernsey's 🤣

I think Chopper preferred the bolt cutters didn't he?

Brainwashed from birth 🤣

My son got the new long sleeve clash jumper at half time and the number 11 went straight on. Number 5 on his other jumper though 😉

Sorry I meant there were trains from North Melbourne to the City but no trains between North Melbourne and Craigieburn, only buses. I was looking at it heading in so thinking only buses to NM FROM Craigieburn.

Back in time for Anzac eve? 🤔

There were also no trains running on the Craigieburn line only buses to North Melbourne. Wouldn't have impacted too many Melbourne supporters but a lot of Doggies live out this way.

Haha yep just saw that now Great minds hey 😉

No relation to Weird Al Jakovich 🤣

He seemed off even from the start complaining about the footy blocking the Bulldogs sponsors. Umm dude there's a massive backdrop with all your sponsors on there the footy isn't blocking them at all. Bet their glad he made sure they'll be seen during the re-runs of that clip all week 🤣

If Bulldogs supporters could spell they might have some journos amongst their ranks too 😂

Didn't he deck Barrett in the toilets at the Brownlow a few years back? Classic case of short man syndrome. He did learn under Clarkson. So did Hardwick for that matter - hmm I'm sensing a pattern here.

What an [censored] how is it the journos fault? Perhaps figure out who is leaking inside your club mate

Tinkering with personnel due to injury is different to tinkering with our structure I think. Moving Brayshaw to half back impacts our wings as well rather than just bringing in another defender.

Similar to the reviews undertaken at Geelong in 2006 and Richmond in 2016. Hopefully ours bears at least as much fruit as those two did.

Hmm so Brayshaw to defence and Jordon to the wing. Seems like they have Jordon earmarked for a wing position so will be interesting how it plays out, not sure I like tinkering so much when we already have 3 premiership defenders missing and Brayshaw was crucial on the wing in two games against the Dogs last year.

Not just the GF blowout. They were lucky to get over Brisbane in the Semi and dropped games to Hawks and Bombers in the run home to cost themselves top 4. They also got blown out of the water by the Tigers in the second half earlier last year and we touched them up in that Docklands game too. When the pressure goes up they tend to go missing. Bruce is also a huge out for them structurally and they don't have JUH/Darcy ready yet to step in. When they were in top in the GF it was largely due to winning the ground ball inside 50 (goals to Treloar X3, Naughton, Bont). If our mids bring the pressure and don't let Bont, Macrae, Treloar off the hook I'm fairly confident we have their measure. Hope I'm not eating these words in 24 hours haha

@binmanwwell you were right about Smith, can't say I understand it but can't argue with facts. I should've known better than to question your judgement 😂

That's what I reckon too. Their mids are the obvious strength but their rucks are suss, their defense isn't great (although they have some decent rebound) and their key forwards are slim pickings. To win they'll be relying on goals out of their mids and small forwards like Weightman and JJ. If we turn up I think we win handily even given our backline.

[censored] I love Viney 🥰🥰🥰

I hope these get digitised by the SLV one day like the Footy records have been. Anyone know if they take requests on this sort of thing?
