Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Demons

Friday nights game is a chance to get some respect back from the football public. Our last few games on prime time TV have been a disgrace. Bring IT ON

Agreed, i will most likely be going to the game with some mates that go for the saints.. and i need the doggies to win because i have copped some crap from them in recent times.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Demons

I went today and braved the terrible conditions..

Going in with the rain and the fact we were playing a team we struggle against i wasnt very optimistic...that first quarter i expected the game to go like that for the rest of the day in a low scoring affair...

But we turned it on in the 2nd n 3rd quarter..

You couldnt pick a bad player in our performance (except Lake who didnt have the better of his opponent) - Gilbee impressed me greatly today, he is def the best if not top 3 kicks in the competition, hitting so many targets. And Welshy...couple goals a week from him and he was worth the pickup for sure.

Loved the work by Crossy, Murphy, Aker and little Joshy Hill - this kid deserves that rising star nom hands down, and ill be irrate if he doesnt get it.

It is such a good feeling to beat a team we have struggled with in recent times (not always struggled) but we have never had a big win over them like this...we have some good confidence going into friday night vs Saints which will be a HUGE one and show us where we're at.

One last note is Adam Cooney - this kid is only gunna get better from here on..Im a big fan of Cooney but dissapointed that he hasnt played at his potential untill now..hes had 2 fantastic games and this year i believe he'll become a major problem for the other clubs Thats my rant....GO DOGGIES

Yeah CD, they were pathetic, but our intensity was very impressive.

Agree with your points especially Cooney's game. Not flashy by any sense, but he worked hard and that's all you can ask for.

Was at the game today, haven't watched the replay yet. Welsh's handball under pressure to Wight who then goaled stuck in my mind. Good thinking and enjoyable to watch.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Demons

Just an all out excellent performance today!

The thing that stands out to me is how more than one or two players are willing to put their head ove rthe ball and go and get it. Adam Cooney is one who I have been critical of over his first few seasons for standing back but today he seemed to throw his body in every time he went for the ball. Our players look a lot stronger and our tackling was superb.

I'm going to throw out a few names here who I felt came under a fair bit of critcism last week in some cases I thought was pretty unfair.

If Cross does not get 3 votes for the brownlow I'll eat my hat and scarf. The guy was everywhere today and worked his ass off right until the final siren. Just kept getting the pill and marked everything that came near him. The 3 goals at the end were icing on the cake and a nice reward for doing so well. Well done Crossy!

Mitch Hahn! I couldn't believe the amount of people throwing him under a bus after last week, he has missed a lot of football over the past couple of seasons but today is exactly why he is so valuable to this side.

Dylan Addison. I love this kid. Not the best skills on the team but I just love the way he is prepared to put his body on the line. He was very good today.

The only negatives I have is the parking at the MCG is appaling! I hate travelling there give me the comforts of the Dome any day! Also the traffic on the way home. It took me well over around an hour and a half to get past Calder Park were nearly every Nuff Nuff in the city seemed to be.

I'm not overly excited though, it's a huge test next week if we can roll St. Kilda I'll start to feel a little more confident. It's going to be tough!
