    Re: We still love you Clay.

    I noticed this too. He must have amazing core strength. As well as that massive heart.

    I held my breath every time he went near it. And then I remembered all the reasons why we need this guy in our best 22. Clay, you're magnificent. Welcome back champ.

        If you haven't seen it, nice little post-game interview with Clay on the Bulldogs app.

          One of the fiercest tackles I've seen for a while.

              On reflection, the lack of respect offered to him in the media as someone coming back from 3 knee recos and a long time out of the game was disappointing. C.f with Menzel's treatment. Even a proper nod in the commentary would've been nice.

                Couldn't agree more . The coverage was pathetic, and they just race to the bottom of the barrel

                  Yes, compare media frothing at the mouth over another Silvagni playing at Carlton while, at the same time, practically ignoring Andrew Walker's 200th game and Clay Smith's comeback. Ordinariness par excellence.

                    Robbo had him as his "hero of the week" on 360 last night, so he wasn't passed over completely.

                      Is Robbo starting to earn more respect here with the Essendon saga dying down and the hatred well and truly focused on Barrett?

                        AFL 360 is regularly a bulldogs love fest.

                        Those with the view that the dogs get no love from the media mustn't watch AFL360...or also anything that Gerard Healy has been involved in for the last 10 years (not sure why he loves us so much - but always has!).

                          Throw David King (for the most part) into that conversation also.

                            He has certainly gone off us due to our lack of scoring.. For him to rate us we have to get back into the 'premiership quadarant'.

                              If we happen to pump a few teams like Tigers, Essendon etc and get our average scoring up to over 100 points, we'll be right back in contention.
                              Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
