    Go on then. Tell us your three things.

    1. Everything needs to be changed. Players, skills coach, development, match day tactics, medical team and so on.
    2. House chores are more interesting than watching an entire game of ours. And I don't say that lightly.
    3. These 39 games since the flag are just so awful and shameful. We had a chance to do something special off the back of flag, these two years confirm we plummeted year upon year. And I'm not sure the club will do what's required to turn it around with hard decisions.

      1. South Africa need 489 runs in the fourth innings to beat Sri Lanka.
      2. Herath has 482 test wickets!
      3 South Africa aren't going to save this test match.

            You don't need a companion do you? Are you going to be somewhere where they don't talk about football very much?

                  It may be Trump country, but it is visually striking. My sister lives in Oklahoma, which also is Trump country....but has ZERO redeeming features.

                    Your sister has no redeeming features? It's a good thing she moved to Oklahoma then.

                      1. You can't win games without having your best on the ground

                      2. The young players are running out of steam, which is normal when you have only had one preseason.

                      3. Mids, Mids, Mids - and outside run needed badly

                        1. I've learnt that I no longer care and am totally dis-interested in the game. I haven't watched any Bulldogs football since walking out when Dahlhaus was free kicked against Hawthorn in the 3rd Quarter. It pains me to say it but I just can't see how I'm going to "fall in love" with the game at AFL level again.

                        2. If I must choose a team to get behind in September, it's going to be the Giants.

                        3. Not directly Bulldogs related but, upon hearing on Sunday Morning of Melbourne's after the siren loss my already good weekend just became a whole lot better.

                          To make things worse, Dangerfield slid in with feet first, knocked over Gawn, and no free, yet yesterday, we got pinged again for a similar one to Dahl (poor old Mclean again). AFL have truly ruined this once great game of ours.

                            The absolute last team I want to see have any success. I would prefer any other team to them.

                              Agree on all three points and could I add the need to recruit players who can dispose of the ball correctly.
