    Still think Kennedy pick up was amazing value for US. He's what we've been missing. Real grunt player who gets his hands dirty and throws his body at it.

      Luke Cleary is an AFL footballer. Just quietly does what needs doing.

        Yeah the level of consistent output we're getting from our bottom 8, like Luke is a big part of our performances this year.

            That performance was "Men of Mayhem " like. We exerted extreme pressure on the ball carrier, caused lots of turnovers and pounced.
            I thought we crushed them in contested ball all over the park after quarter time.

            That was a superb performance.

            Best game ever from Tim English.

            Great to have Treloar back.

            JJ - congratulations on 200 games

                Seriously impressive performance by the boys.

                First ten or so minutes we were fumbly AF. Could not hit a handball target, stick a tackle to save ourselves.

                Lobb was huge in the first quarter and really lead our defence and helped settle us.

                From there we just worked ourselves into the game through sheer hard work.

                English has had a huge three weeks and totally owned Sweet today - his best game for a long long time.

                Khamis, JOD, Lobb stood tall in the first quarter when kicking into the breeze.

                For mine that was our best win for the year.

                    We were quite incredible today. I said last week this was the best Bulldogs midfield I’ve seen, they were superb today. English had a point to prove against Sweet and absolutely thrashed him.

                    i loved how after The Fridge’s goal Bont said “Yeah not bad young fella, but may I remind you there is only one Bont” and kicked one just as good within a minute.

                    There were important cameos from guys like McNeil and Buku, the defence supported each other well, Rhylee West has won me over, and Naughton moved better than I’ve seen him this year.

                    A performance that deserved more of us to see it. Well done Bulldogs, I’m looking forward to watching this again after Kayo kept crashing on me.

                      Tim English absolutely did a demolition job on Jordan Sweet. Absolute class from the big man today.

                        Great performance today.

                        Totally dominated them. Just so much tougher at the contest and our ability to score from F50 stoppage was amazing. We improve our score from turnover game to even better than what it is along with that will be scary for the opposition.

                        English played one of his best games of his career for the club. Kennedy, Richards, Freijah really good as was Treloar for his first game back for the year. JJ in his 200th played a good game. Dale played a strong game.

                        Lobb was really good. Impressed with how Buku is going. Sanders is taking strides this season. Cleary is another who has impressed.

                        Naughton just competes and presents so well in the forward line and has got his confidence back. West is having a great season.

                        5-3 after 8 rounds which is a great effort considering our injury concerns and the travel we have gone through.

                        Gold Coast presents another challenge next week in Darwin in the humid conditions but I feel this year with how we playing we are more than capable of beating them.

                          Sweet has shown he is more of a state league ruckman than legit AFL ruckman
