Give us your best three.

1. We can win the 2016 AFL Premiership.
2. Thankful Bruest missed in the second to go to a 27 point lead.
3. Time to look at tickets next week!

Re: Three things I've learned-week two Semi Final v Hawthorn

1. This club has character by the bucketful. To shake off that start and give up the lead we did, and roll the reigning three-time premier was just astonishing.
2. Bontempelli is fast running out of boxes to tick. Led us to a finals victory.
3. We will ride a wave of support like no other in AFL History next week.

Re: Three things I've learned-week two Semi Final v Hawthorn

1. Watching a win like that in front of 87,000 people with a huge roar for the Dogs is just amazing
2. I'm not tall enough to wave my scarf around over my head (apologies to those sitting nearby who got belted)
3. Bonti is sublime. I should have named my pup Marcus.

Bonus
4. My sister's boyfriend learned never to sit between DOTW and her sister at a game, especially a tense one

Re: Three things I've learned-week two Semi Final v Hawthorn

1. There is nothing like watching footy in a packed MCG and winning - 3rd highest crowd we have ever played in front of.

2. Bevo the guttiest coach going around - trusting teenagers and young players to win big finals. Hawks on average were 3 years older with 71 games more experience and we smashed them.


3. We have seen the end of an ERA and the begining of a new

Re: Three things I've learned-week two Semi Final v Hawthorn

1. We can score. That was our equal 4th highest score for the year. Apart from vs Crows, the others came against lesser teams.
2. We can dominate anyone. We didn't just win last night, we smashed them. They weren't in it in general play for so much of the game.
3. Clay Smith, who I've lost a bit of love for lately, is clutch. His shots on goal at important times were so critical.

Re: Three things I've learned-week two Semi Final v Hawthorn

1. We can draw a massive crowd. +87,000. Our club deserves more prime time and blockbuster games.
2. We have some serious momentum. We are playing our best footy when it really counts.
3. Liam Picken was born to play September football.

Re: Three things I've learned-week two Semi Final v Hawthorn

1. Josh Dunkley is 19, plays with the maturity of a 25yo and could be anything.
2. This team wants to win the Grand Final this year.
3. Liam Picken just gets better every week.

Re: Three things I've learned-week two Semi Final v Hawthorn

1. I must never, ever, take up gambling. I could lose my house.
2. These boys are made of the tough stuff. Although I kinda new that, they showed 87000+....
3. Bulldogs are a family. Never had so many complete strangers high five, shake my hand, sing the song..

Re: Three things I've learned-week two Semi Final v Hawthorn

1. We learned a lot from the Adelaide final last year. Bevo changed our game style during the season (boring at times) to stand up in September.

2. The Bont didn't enjoy having a quiet one last week (for his standards). I don't remember a bulldog player taking a final by the scruff of the neck like he did last night.

3. We smashed the reigning premier's for the last 3 years and had them perfectly at arms reach that we started icing the clock halfway through the last quarter and just came home on cruise control.

Re: Three things I've learned-week two Semi Final v Hawthorn

1Tom Boyd is getting better and showed at half time he won't take any shit
2 macavaney is a front runner and jumped off Rioli onto the Bont in about 1 minute.
3 Caleb Daniel isn't a rising star , he already is a star that's why he didn't win it.

Re: Three things I've learned-week two Semi Final v Hawthorn

1. The Bont has taken the mantle from Luke Hodge
2. Our 24 million supporters love us. Everyone else is at last getting to see what we already knew ... and they are in awe!
3. Jack Macrae can stand up when it counts.
