Last quarter we looked comfortable and put the cue in the rack, far too early it seems. We aren't good enough to do that, though being a man down meant they would always have a chance to come at us late.
Curnow is a gun, but you wish Naughty was adjudicated to the same standard as he and Ben Brown. Gifted half his bag. Our bloke gets scragged, nothing, makes terrific defensive efforts, no reward.
Carlton are a disgrace. Glad to see their pissant hearts break.
Agree on this 100%.

We had so much of the ball that we had no chance to rest. Over 400 disposals, 70 plus more than Carlton - no wonder we were tired.

Very happy for Tim English. A very good game. We need to keep persisting with him. He will be a decent player.

Slowing the game down and controlling the pace is something we have not done well in the past.

Pretty sure that was said in jest! I've been enjoying G-mo77's posts for a few years now.

Bont was one who was just on the ground. Just relieved it was over after that scare.

I can't sit back and applaud how far and how quickly we've fallen since 1/10/16 and won't be told by a couple of people in a football forum to accept the tripe we serve up week in week out. 1 emotional charged post after we made an unlosebale lead turn into nothing and the behaviour police want me out. Give It a spell.
Everyone values you as a Bulldog supporter, you are gold.
I just saw someone abusing our club when you were just having a dummy spit. As you say posting sometimes tone can be misinterpretted.

Re: WB Game Day V Carlton R13 2019
My friend took a photo of libber rubbing his eyes , taunting a carlton supporter who had been at them all day, sent it to a few journos, it’s all over the place now.
Libber is one hilarious guy, before we get all PC about it, even the people standing around this bloke wanted to belt him and they weren’t bulldog supporters .
Bring back the biff

I don't think this is a 'PC vs Anti-PC' thing. (has anyone here even criticized him for it?). He's just called them sooks essentially. The only marginal people who can be offended by that are Carlton supporters and frankly the day we start caring about what Carlton supporters think is the day we need seriously pull our heads in.

That was a lot of emotion, at that point when I typed that we blew another 5 - 6 goal lead. Deep down of course I don't mean it however right now it's pretty close to the truth. I just can't get over how bad we've become in such a short time, I've gone through different kinds of emotions: 2017 was OK, I was still on a high and thought we'd bounce back, 2018 was miserable, just sadness thinking how far we'd fallen and the opportunity wasted. 2019 is and has pretty much been anger.
I've always enjoyed watching my team regardless of the position on the ladder. Driving down to the footy was a nice escape, a time were I could forget about any issues in my life, forget about work, and just sit back and enjoy watching my team play. It's not like that now, I don't want to make the trips down anymore, it's pretty much half a day for me and I can't justify wasting my time going down there to see most of the players going through the motions out on the field. I force myself to watch when they're on TV, mostly have it on in the background and do something else. I also made the comment that I doubt I'll travel down again this season to watch and I probably won't. Sadly they're losing me as a diehard Bulldog supporter. People will throw flames at me for it and that's fine, I've done it in the past to when I've heard the "I'll cancel my membership" line but that's exactly how I feel right now.

Re: WB Game Day V Carlton R13 2019
You have to get up and get back on the bike. You have invested too much of your emotional self to walk away now. Imagine how you will feel when we turn the corner and you're not on the bus? A week is a long time in football. We all get down at times. You'll get back up. You'll see. Stay staunch. Do you want to be like Melbourne supporters and go skiing in July/August?

I feel your pain and understand your frustrations. After our 2016 flag the past 3 years has seen a dramatic fall away in on field performances. Very few players have taken their game to the next level and many have either left or retired, injured or simply out of form. I do think there needs to be stronger measures taken in our Football department with an urgent review of off field personnel. Dunkley and Daniel have been exceptions and have been two from our Premiership team to take his form to a higher level. English Naughton Crozier Smith Richards and Lipinski have been good recruits but our on field leadership has been a concern. I hope you will hang in there and that improvement will come sooner than later.
