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

Jake has to be commended for that pass. It was as good as a goal. Exactly the same result essentially but far less risk.

That is hilarious - I thought the players were the only ones with a misguided sense of entitlement and privilege, but it seems the entire club is.

That last piece of play was brilliant - Macrae rove, then Libba's hands were brilliant, Tommy Boyd catch and hands straight Stringer who had the presence of mind to hit Dicko - who had so smartly run to the space. Smart, but a little bit brave the kick from Stringer - Hunter was the closer option, but Jake trusted his skills to go across his body and hit Dickson.
Watching the lead up again, bit of an ordinary effort from Mumford not to effect the marking contest from Dunkley's kick, Mummy was 5 metres away and didn't get to it to spoil.

Speaking to a few people this week that aren't dogs fans - and all of those who were watching at pubs said that it went absolutely bezerk where they were when Bont goaled. Such a build up.

Talk about entitlement mentality through every aspect of their plastic club.

It was fantastic at the ground when GWS came on and there was massive sustained booing at their home ground.
I have never seen so many passionate Bulldog supporters as I have the past two finals.

Yeah mate at a pub during the game said it went absolutely nuts when we won.
And if that whisper is true about the booing, them my god we have a whingy, spoon fed, entitled brat on our hands.
