1. The Bulldogs are back. Memories of 2015 came flooding back last night of when we we thumping everyone at Etihad. The handball club is reborn!

2. Bailey Smith is a special player. There is a reason that he gets targeted by the opposition so often. He's good, really good. I don't think I've seen a first year player get into so many scuffles as him. When he starts to break the lines and use his wonderful foot skills more....wow!

3. We showed up Essendon for what they really are. Yes they have injuries but they lack hardness and the are full of downhill skiers. They don't have any inside mids at all. I love that Dylan Shiel chose them. What an unintelligent decision!!!
