Re: Three things you've learnt. Round twelve v Geelong Marvel stadium 2022
1. I had forgotten how good a serious head butt is.
2. Everything about our forward line is rubbish: structure, leading patterns and delivery into it.
3. West stood up when many didn't and should keep his place. He is easily the pick out of himself, Scott, McNeil and McComb.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

Re: Three things you've learnt. Round twelve v Geelong Marvel stadium 2022
1. Ed Richards got stiffed twice by the umpires. The decision not to pay the free downfield was just ludicrous, and the killer blow from a HTB decision against where he was slung to the ground unnecessarily irked me a great deal. What did I learn from this? Umpires hate rangas.
2. This particular iteration of the Dogs 2019-current aren’t easy to love because they don’t play like the Bulldog teams I have come to love and respect. They are more talented. But not as ferocious. More athletic. But not as daring. Not learned, but confirmed, they are soft.
3. Libba is the only exception to 2. Treloar is whatever the opposite to Libba is. He should be disgusted with his effort tonight. Piss weak.

1. We’re a soft team that’s highly skilled. Soft teams don’t win flags
2. It wasnt our night - every bounce of the ball, umpiring decisions that impacted the score line and blind kick went their way. You make your own luck
3. If we ever had a chance to beat them it’s with the best intercept defender blowing up their defensive structure in the first quarter. Such a painfully missed opportunity

We were losing, but it was close, so we found a pub to watch it.
As we were watching it, and we slowly slipped into the loss, my girlfriend asked me why I would ruin such a perfect day. And she’s RIGHT. *!*!*!*! these guys man they wrecked my whole shit just by being worse than some guys they’re better than. I need the damn week off.
GF: Why would you ruin such a perfect day?
Lifelong Bulldogs fan:
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

3. Geelong really is our nemesis. 2 wins in 17 games.
I hadn’t heard that but it feels real - 2 from 17. Hate those pricks.
We sucked for a qtr and lost the match. We do that every now and then.
