Matthews sounds like he’s losing his faculties mentally. I don’t mean that as a joke. Seems to lose track of what he’s saying and mumble. Think it’s time to retire.

At one stage he couldn't even say we are in top form. He says " Bulldogs have won 7 and lost 2, I suppose they are going ok"Quote:

It's only of slight annoyance, but I do get a continued attempt to delegitimize anything we do in the media sometimes. We've looked very, very good against quality opposition and intolerably poor in equal measure at times this year.
We aren't over the line yet, but I can't remember a season where we've come from outside the finals equation to nick a spot before. Before we kicked away half way through the last quarter yesterday, I had some serious anxiety - Dogs games mean something again
I feel more 2005 vibes. We’re charging home and giving the top 8 a scare. Just need to stick the landing this timeQuote:

Nice that it means something again, but $&@ hell the nerves are back
Oh. God. Jeff White nightmares I was there with a cousin from the UK she didn't understand my pain thought it the best thing she'd ever seen.Quote:

I'm from Footscray mate. Kids from Footscray didn't go to uni in 1911. I did however go to Vic Uni (the West's own uni!) toward the end of the century.Quote:

Friend of mine Plays at Myrtleford and he just informed me Dawson Simpson has signed with them next year, did he retire on Saturday after our game?
Yep announced prior to the game.Quote:

We got into a to and fro with a guy wearing a #27 GWS jumper at Etihad the night Greene kicked Dahl in the face. We gave him a bit, he gave a bit back and then we stood together and barracked for our teams. We even shook his hand after we had lost.
