    Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 1 of the finals vs Eagles or Saints


    But since the contested-marking beast returned from that setback he has transformed the Bulldogs’ forward line into the AFL’s No.1 attack.

    From Rounds 12-18 they have averaged 75.2 points, bettering premiership favourites Geelong (72.7) and Richmond (67.3).


    Is anyone else surprised at this? Not really the dysfunctional forward line I thought we had!

    Naughton is a transformational player, no doubt.

    But we've also had Dunkley and especially Hunter come back into the side during this time to give us more drive through the middle and ramp up our inside 50 numbers.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Thx Dogtown and Axeman.

    Great news. Hope whomever we play do not play dirty and “accidentally on purpose” make impact with Naughty’s face.

    Also good to hear Bevo’s press comment that Wally just had a stinger looks correct.

    The Saints it is. We have some unfinished business with this mob!

    Sounds like we are playing in Adelaide, definitely better suited than the greasy Gabba.

    So Adelaide would pretty much rule Bruce out too?

    If the wives can come with, both will play, doubt either of them would want to miss this run at finals.

    I’m not sure what their quarantine rules are. The problem with WA was the quarantine time

    Interesting. Originally I heard it being reported a few weeks ago that the first 4 games of finals would be Wednesday. Thursday, Friday and Saturday night games.
    I will never see #16 the same!!
