Whatever get on Him for the Norm Smith. He will own this grand final.

Re: Game Day AFL Week 3 Preliminary Final - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs
I saw it with my own eyes, but was shitting bricks watching replay. I nearly teared up on the siren, but did watching it. Seeing Bob's face, Gordo's face. Also great to hear Andrew Dunkley going for the dogs this week, despite 200+ games for Sydney.
Can't wait.

Re: Game Day AFL Week 3 Preliminary Final - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs
I'm watching the replay and there's something about a bunch of first rounders in a group that makes them so punchable.
Lachie Whitfield is apparently tough and hard. Some sort of thug. His behaviour is representative of the GWS "club" attitude, and I'm wondering if it's a marketing thing to make them seem appealing to the western suburbs of Sydney.
It was great seeing the likes of Patton rip into Tom Boyd, whilst the latter was playing in the ruck for 90% of the game the other was getting it cheap out the back.
Tom Boyd won. Patton and Cameron lost. It's so bloody good.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Lobbe is likely to be the best player in the league in two or three years time, I think.

So many great players like Johnson and Grant and Hawkins (the Hawk would have incredible in GFs I think but we will never know) never got the chance to show if they truly had what it took. I'm keen to see whether or not one of our own has what it takes.
But it will be *!*!*!*!ing awesome to all 22 bulldogs on the big stage.
Stringer. I have a feeling about Jake.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Like Kelly Slater's first retirement. Winning everything gets boring after a while.

Lobb. Taking the E off at the end makes a huge difference. Lobbe might become the best player in the SANFL if he's lucky.
We dodged a bullet there.

I actually re-read Wiki after I did it, but there's four minutes left in my replay and I need to conserve attention.

I'll admit to crying again after that.
