It's not far from my present home but I have to move. Hopefully not far.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Those two highlight packages are the best individual displays I have seen from a Bulldogs player since Adam Cooney collected a ball at knee level, before evading Lumumba, Ben Johnson and Wellingham by doing an accelerated Michael Jackson moonwalk as though he was on ice, including a 360 degree pirouette, which ended up resulting in a shot on goal against Collingwood in 2009 in the final round.

Re: Tell you what.
We had enough moments throughout the year that gave me belief that when the chance comes up to make a flag that wags happen, we have players who want the ball and will make it hake it so. I know bad kicking cost us in the final, but there weren't any disastrous "what if" moments that are going to hang around in my mind like other years. I still expect these guys to be winners.

They were quite a few by my account.
What if Bont had handballed to a free player rather than rushing a kick when we were a couple of points ahead.
What if Hunter had hit Crameri with a quite simple handball when he was running inside 50 with at least one free player ahead if him.

Was it Jarryd Grant?

Yeah running into an open goal. It's ok though because he would have missed anyway...
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

There was an instance when Stringer tried to do too much about 15 metres out directly in front with Mitch Wallis completely in the clear about 8 metres away.

Re: Tell you what.
Good thread! So many amazing moments last season!
Stringer kicking that snap 45 out from nowhere putting us up 8 points in the final quarter against the Crows.. Was the loudest roar from the Bulldog army for the year. Goosebumps!

Were you there for the VFL grand final that Footscray won? I never knew that a bulldog crowd could make that much noise. It was insanely brilliant, my best (and noisiest) footy experience ever.
In fact apart from my kids being born it was my best day ever, full stop, put down the glasses, no late entries will be consdered.

To be fair on the run or snap he was very accurate. Just 95% of set shots missed. That was a big what if moment for the year.

Loyal to the bitter end BT. I love it.
