Great to see you back contributing dog town over the last few weeks.
Hopefully time permits so you can continue to.
More of an In Bruges guy?

Key Takeaways: Round 18
The key talking points to emerge from Sunday's win over Fremantle in Cairns.
1. Finals locked in
Just quietly, we always knew Luke Beveridge and his boys would get the job done on Sunday night.
With a finals berth on the line, they had everything to play for.
Just like the last two weeks. And they delivered the goods – again – under extreme pressure.
Fremantle just wouldn’t go away for the first three quarters, but a three-goal to nil last term ensured Bulldogs supporters wouldn’t endure any nervy final minutes.
For the fourth time in six years under Beveridge, the Bulldogs will play finals footy.
And whether it’s the West Coast Eagles in Perth, or St Kilda in Queensland, you know the Bulldogs will be up for the fight.
2. Sons of guns get it done
Good luck separating Lachie Hunter and Tom Liberatore for best on ground.
The two father-son products couldn’t be more different players, but both were equally important in leading the Bulldogs to victory in Cairns.
Hunter racked up 35 disposals – 10 more than any other player on the ground – and kicked a goal.
He generated more than 600 metres gained, won four clearances and had an impact at both ends of the ground with five inside-50s and three rebound-50s.
Liberatore was just as good, with his 25 disposals punctuated by seven clearances, eight tackles, six inside-50s and two rebound-50s.
With the Bulldogs’ season on the line, both more than rose to the occasion.
3. Long game with Tim
Remember – only a couple of weeks ago – when the Bulldogs had Tim English playing more forward time than ruck?
You could argue that move has paid dividends the past fortnight.
The emerging big man has spent the past three weeks playing predominantly in the ruck, but has been able to push forward to great effect and showcase his forward craft.
English kicked two goals against Hawthorn last week and was influential again when he slid forward against Fremantle.
He kicked two important goals against the Dockers and put the icing on the cake with a chip over the last defender to find Marcus Bontempelli all alone in the goal square for the sealer.

Agree-will look at some of our players more keenly based upon some of your astute observations in future matches - here’s hoping 4 more this year.

I named my youngest boy Ambrose after Ambrose Palmer.

He said "it was the depression and if you didn't play then you didn't get payed, no matter the reason. I had to put food on the table"
