Game Day AFL Week 3 Preliminary Final - GWS Giants V Western Bulldogs

[The Doctor]

I want to thank Bevo

let's finish the job

What do we think of Cordy's game. I think he was influential, kicked a couple of important goals and helped relieve TBoyd in the ruck.
Also though accidently took Ward out of the game when he was becoming prominent.
.

I know it was 100% accident, but when it happened I must admit I was hugely relieved. Backed it up by kicking a goal or two, too. I thought he was much better this week, but still made a couple of costly errors. Overall, I thought he played alright though.

Tonight was the first game I have ever watched with tears flowing before the final siren sounded. That last 10 minutes, the way we refused to stop attacking and maintained ultimate faith.

In other Prelims, I have hoped but with this team I believed, only horrid luck could stop them. Oh my god these boys are so spcial.

What about the Bont at the end, celebrating to the Dogs crowd and mouthing one more to go.
That's the attitude - one to go.
7 days to ultimate glory.

Watching the relay and man, the way Clay Smith uses his body.... just threw himself and everything he had at it tonight. Love that boy.

Watching the replay and man I still butterflies.

I am not ashamed to admit that reading these posts has brought tears to my eyes because they reveal the intensity of emotion that only Bulldog supporters can experience. The players were simply magnificent and the coaching and support staff likewise. Take a bow.
And whoever said "No one in the crowd has ever kicked a goal was WRONG! I'm sure the tidal wave of support from our people who made the trip to Plasticland buoyed our blokes up and helped them get the job done. Recovery time now - there's work to be done.
I'm starting out at 7.00am tomorrow morning for the ride back to Lombok. See you at the "G" Woofers! Go Dogs!

These close contests are all about moments. Here are some of the highlights for me

The Mark - Easton Wood takes a screamer.
The Decision - The score review that overruled the umpires initial call
The Falcon - Roughead who had starred all finals takes no further part in the game
The Run and the Gun - the breathtaking run of Johannisen who delivers it to the Gun Bontempelli...goal
The Defining moment - A don't argue from Bonts results in a decisive Cordy goal
The Realisation - Dickson marks with just 30 seconds to go. Game over
The Elation - Seeing an emotional Peter Gordon
The Oh Shit Experience - We are in a grand final

Going into the last quarter I was ready to write us off. This only solidified when they kicked those next two goals.

I love that this team seems to know what it takes to win and surprises in a good way that other dogs teams have not.

Yeah, with you there.

What a story for our Clay, I was so sad when he went down against saints. I didn't think he could come back. He nailed a prelim for the dogs.

can I add Caleb's goal just before 3/4 time

if ever I've seen a never give in goal this was it. The goal that gave us the realisation we could win it.

I loved Libba snr going off as well

What a mark by Wood, stood up as captain early with six marks. With a minute and a half remaining neutralised a likely scoring attempt. Heart.
JJs run that you mentioned, he had some big involvements through the game but that was special.
Clay Smith.
Each of Dicksons goals were so clever.
Lukey D is as good as anyone in the AFL time and time again.

Gary. We are in the GF, we have stuck fast through immense hardship. You have carried the torch for many of us through this forum. Thank you. Wowee, what a three weeks. We are a big show next week but no one can take away our achievement to get here. Proud doggy here, we have the best supporters in the country.

This bulldog team has no respect for odds, history, grand finalists, three time premiers, close games, 23 first rounders or curses.

Cede Nullis. With all due respect add as many swear words as you please. Immense pride for this team. Most players under 100 games, plenty under 50 and some under 20, injury ravaged, second year coach and yet this team has done what no bulldog team has done in 55 years. Flagrant disregard for the established norms. We are in this up to our eyeballs next week and I am there.
