It is hard to take and yes we were beaten by a better team, the score probably flattered us, but gee we have some guts. Oh yeah and Garry Lyon is a knob.

[comrade]

Time for Jacques, Buss, Hynes, Dolan, Sellwood. Thanks for your efforts JJ, Jones etc but it’s time to move on.

[whythelongface]

Play the kids from here.

No Jones, no JJ.

Why would you not play jones. Not much wrong with his game tonight. Gee we have been wanting to play him and suddenly we want him out. Ridiculous

[westbulldog]

The team should be proud of their never say die effort.

[DOG GOD]

At least we fought it out

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Why would you not play jones. Not much wrong with his game tonight. Gee we have been wanting to play him and suddenly we want him out. Ridiculous

Because he's finished. He's not playing next year. We need to develop players who will make us a better side. Jones is not one of those.

sorry this doesn’t make sense. Supporters were saying Hynes and Dolan aren’t ready and now we want them back in the team. Do we really know what we want. Agree on Sellwood but gee we are all over the shop with the rest

[Bornadog]

It is hard to take and yes we were beaten by a better team, the score probably flattered us, but gee we have some guts. Oh yeah and Garry Lyon is a knob.

The one thing this team in 2025 is they don't give in.

[whythelongface]

Because he's finished. He's not playing next year. We need to develop players who will make us a better side. Jones is not one of those.

So that is the answer then? Just drop Jones. Are you sure he isn’t playing next year? I don’t think you are. We are better with him in the team. We can still make finals. Just ridiculous some of these calls

[Bornadog]

sorry this doesn’t make sense. Supporters were saying Hynes and Dolan aren’t ready and now we want them back in the team. Do we really know what we want. Agree on Sellwood but gee we are all over the shop with the rest

We already had 8 players with less than 50 games plus another 4 with less than 100 . We are playing kids

Exactly. That is a good sign. We will turn a corner. Maybe not this year but these are positive signs

[whythelongface]

We already had 8 players with less than 50 games plus another 4 with less than 100 . We are playing kids

Exactly. We have experience but loads of inexperienced players as well. No point bringing in further inexperience

[angelopetraglia]

We give everything. We have from round #1 this season. This team has played with pride and spirit every single week. We have not had off weeks like last season.

But we are just not good enough against the best teams. With a bit of luck we could have snatched a few of those games, but on measure we are in the right place on the ladder.

Can we win the last five games of the season?

[The Bulldogs Bite]

So that is the answer then? Just drop Jones. Are you sure he isn’t playing next year? I don’t think you are. We are better with him in the team. We can still make finals. Just ridiculous some of these calls

Developing players who will be the reason why we'll jump up the ladder? Well, yeah, that IS the answer. It's the only answer.

Jones proved our shape looks better with him in it but we absolutely should be playing Busslinger moving forward.

I couldn't care less about finals from here. How much more evidence do you need vs the top 8?

sorry this doesn’t make sense. Supporters were saying Hynes and Dolan aren’t ready and now we want them back in the team. Do we really know what we want. Agree on Sellwood but gee we are all over the shop with the rest

Bros are just rage quitting it's ag.

We're still a good chance to make finals and Jones was ok. Needs to keep playing.
