    Supporting the Dogs is a shocking hobby, isn't it? Enjoyable about 20% of the time.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Please don't ignore that we were two down for a half and one down for most of the game. We were running in sand and our entire team was up against it.

    It's masochistic to say the least. I even think it's probably sadistic (i.e. those at the club who seem to have a clear agenda against us supporters).

    Yeah, it's getting to that point.

    Disagree we’re a long off
    How are we a long way off ? We’ve lead all night to the form team of the comp and lost by effectively a kick
    We’ve got the shifting off the d 50 right , but need other plans when teams stifle us
    Need to sort the ruck issue out just think the smart coaches can have any plan going when they know their ruck’s got an armchair ride

    I think I am more in your camp RM. A lot to work on but also not a long way off either.

    Tim English had shoe horn hands tonight, just like Kramer wanted and the ball just kept bouncing off them.

    Well Kramer, try marking an Australian Rules footy with those super handy shoe horn hands of yours mate.

    2016 was great. Bont was great. He's still a great player.

    He just can't do what Dangerfield did tonight. If he could, we'd be talking about him, not Dangerfield.
    Pull the other one Mate,
    What useless irrelvancies. really?
    This is why people just can't be bothered posting any more,.
    The last two weeks there's been scarcely an article about Danger and plenty about Bonts.

    He was like a giant broken wooden trebuchet we were wheeling around the ground just there to...block stuff.

    Maybe that explains tonight's lopsided performances.

    I curse you Geelong. May all your nipples dry up so you have no sucklings.

    Looking on the brighter side, i'm so glad it wasn't a final. I've had a gut full of losing to them in finals.
    I wonder what it was like when we lost to them at Geelong for 27 years straight from 1945-1972? Imagine driving back to Footscray each year and saying to your kid "Don't worry son. We'll beat them down there next year".

    Yeah I don't buy Bevo's excuse. We're playing a shorter quarters They had Toohey and Taylor with injuries,

    What happened was we were second to the ball from the first bounce of the second quarter because we crapped oursleves and the wanted it more. That had nothing to do Vanders and Wood injuries.

    If all that we take out of this game is that we lost because of that then Bevo learned nothing.

    Geelong had the 10 most experienced players on the ground tonight... it’s only happens 50 times in VFL/AFL history.. it showed in the end.

    We have some gaps to fill and issues to sort through , but we aren’t winning it this year... but it might be a different story in a couple of years time.
