I think I have become the Bulldogs Grinch.

Re: I think I have become the Bulldogs Grinch.

I can understand some people's mind reverting back to the "battling bulldogs" mentality but my advice is get over it. We are winners and deserve to be grinners. Things have changed and my mind started preparing for a successful era during the pre-season of 2015.

I love it. the afterglow of being premiers is phenomenal and i want to see more of

Bob Murphy kissing babies
Matty Boyd becoming mayor of Footscray
Dale Morris having a statue ( a la the Colossus of Rhodes) standing over Barkly St
Easton Wood giving speeches to Parliament
Liam Picken fronting ACDC
Jake Stringer in the next Wrestlemania
Who Wants to be a Millionaire being re-named to "Who Wants to be a Tom Boyd"
Libba hosting his own reality lifestyle show

etc

lets do this again!

Oh, God. I'd watch the hell out of Libba's lifestyle show. My guess is it would be televised late at night with an M15+ rating as a minimum

As much as I'd love to see that I'd prefer to wait until his footy career is over.

Here, Grinchy Grinchy Grinchy.

Yep, you're the Grinch of Premiership Past.
I watch every clip the club release. I watch the final Series regularly. 62 bloody years the club waited. I'm gonna enjoy it until we win another. And then I'll savour both.

Compare them. Talk about which premiership is your favourite. Truly appreciate them.

Re: I think I have become the Bulldogs Grinch.

I still go tingly all over when watching anything premiership related. 360 did a 3 minute clip about our final series a few days ago, I was still close to sobbing

Re: I think I have become the Bulldogs Grinch.

Close to sobbing? I still break down and cry three times a day just thinking about it.

Re: I think I have become the Bulldogs Grinch.

It's funny, I'm in a wierd place football wise. Usually I'm completely pumped for round one and am all over pre-season, but this year I'm honestly a bit ambivalent. Is it because we went to the top of the mountain and now I've been there the passion has dissipated? Is it a growing perspective on the actual importance of football? Is it just that a really busy home life has distracted from footy generally?
It might be a bit of everything. I'm certainly not a grinch about the positive Bulldog press, we've certainly had our fair share of the negative, but to be honest I probably haven't read any over the past 3 months or so. Avoiding the larger football media has become a bit of a strategy.
Certainly the passion and joy of last September will be difficult if not impossible to ever replicate. Maybe I just need a real game to ignite the embers. We'll see tonight.

I'd imagine for those erstwhile adventurers that have climbed Mt Everest more than once, it's always fun but never as memorable as the first time.

We climbed the footballing equivalent of Mt Everest last year & in the most spectacular fashion imaginable. Nothing will ever match it & so that sense of striving, of utter desperation to reach the summit just once that drove us as fans has been replaced by something else.

Now that we are on top of Everest, I for one am going to enjoy the view - and it feels great.
