Re: Media Musings about the Bulldogs
The fact that the imbeciles in the media are against us makes me feel even better about the trade.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Just wait until the kid proves he can play then we will see those areas increase again.
Maybe these journos don't get it because they are not Bulldog fans. We have been treated with contempt by the AFL, every opposition supporter ever and every journo who is not a doggies man. Make no mistake we are a second class citizen of this comp. No player who has so much great footy ahead of him has ever chosen the Whitten Oval as his destination.
This trade has given every bulldog everywhere hope. Hope that maybe this great club will finally have a team that will allow fans to dream of the holy grail. Hope that our cursed luck is going to change. Hope is a very powerful thing and these journos just don't understand it.
Every bulldog supporter everywhere would have been doing cartwheels after hearing the news. Unless you have red, white and blue running through your veins you have no idea what this means to us.

Love the passion
Whether the big gamble comes off or not at least we had a calculated try and not just sit on the fence and go through the motions
Big ticks to the club giving us the big forward that we have been wanting... patience from our surporters now not to expect the gun to kck 100 goals next season

Re: Media Musings about the Bulldogs
Liked this bit in Robbo's article on the trade period:
The Bulldogs are the most intriguing. Tweeted on Wednesday: “Dogs lost captain, coach, No.6, integrity, respect and generally lost their way. And they bring in Boyd on a mill a year ... #good luck.''
Fair to say Dogs fans were not happy, including Neighbors actor Scott McGregor, who joined the cyber attack squad.
Insulting tweet by Robbo, then he sooks it up when he gets called out on it.
If the AFL is happy with the current trade climate, then there are major issues

Re: Media Musings about the Bulldogs
Well that's really put it into perspective. I was happy about the trade period, but i didn't realise Scott McGregor, Neighbours actor, wasn't fully satisfied with it.

They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I think he went hard at Robinson over his anti Bulldog theme. It got a bit personal.

While you're at it...try and dig out any of his articles imploring us to be bold in seeking a KPF.
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

That's the comparison i'd like to see. The copy & paste insert for every end of trade period - "They failed to get a genuine KP forward target".

Nothing he didnt deserve though. He just throws cheap shots around without thinking and twitter etc is a chance for the people in the street to have their say. I am new to twitter but enjoy reminding journos when they flip flop. Jay Clark was all too keen to have a crack at us over the Boyd deal but I felt it was more to do with him being shown up for stating it was 1000/1 against than the actual merits of the trade.

Re: Media Musings about the Bulldogs
Great stuff. He deserves a few cheap shots back. Wish they'd rid 360 of him so it could become watchable.
The curse is dead.

On the cusp of cancelling my Foxtel because of dicks like him.

I was wondering who this bloke was, at first I thought it was the bloke off 'Better Homes and Gardens' but his picture was not right.
