A bit of late year fun - the great stuff ups by our team or coach or any other team or coach.
I have a hazy memory of a bad match up by Wallace in a 98 Crows final that cost us dearly.
Thoughts?

It seemed like a good idea at the time....

Re: It seemed like a good idea at the time....
Aker getting another 12 months didn't exactly work for us especially given the off field distractions that followed and the fact that we gave him the license to do extra things in the media.
Great intention but Aker underlined that he was never going to go quietlyWestern Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"

Smith on Robran?

I guess they weren't even a good idea at the time.

Rohan Smith on Matthew Robran should never have seemed a good idea at the time. Originally Posted by Dry Rot

Re: It seemed like a good idea at the time....
2008 Qualifying Final.... Yep i went there.
Hawthorn giving us an absolute bath, in the second quarter especially.
Just remember looking in Hawthorns forward 50 and all was there was Morris and Franklin.
Don't think it was the time and place to leave Buddy one out for the entire first half...

Re: It seemed like a good idea at the time....
I remember sitting with my best mate who's a Hawks supporter saying the same thing, though this was after the 20 minute mark of the first quarter telling him we'd be lucky to get out of the game with an 8-10 goal loss. Originally Posted by Jaytee

Re: It seemed like a good idea at the time....
Aker, Eagleton, Hahn all for an extra year in 2010. None had played well in any of the 4 qualifying or prelim finals but we thought for some reason they were going to reverse some 800 of games of form and be the difference. Their salaries probably cost us Harbrow.
Peter Street saved from delisting by a first round draft choice from us.
Trapping an inconsistent tall swingman into being drafted by us rather than going to where he could play with his brother.
Scott Clayton's obsession with skinny athletic utilities in the draft, and no one else thinking to overall him.
Allen Jakovic....
Getting rid of Bruce Reid on 88 games.
Having my Mum put number 9 on my Bulldogs jumper after John Georgiades' first game.

Getting rid of the reserve competition and the under 19's so fans couldn't see players evolve in the curtain raisers.

Re: It seemed like a good idea at the time....
What about Jose Romero getting that game in one of the Prelims (from memory 97 or 98) against Adelaide ?
His shoulder was stuffed, everyone knew it was stuffed, every supporter knew it'd pop out, he plays, it pops out early in the game.
