This is ALL good news for us. I had the privilege to sneak down to Melb this weekend and watch the 'dogs hand out a beautiful thrashing to the Lions. More of that later...... But it is GREAT that all the media and other clubs concentrate on how undermanned a side might be, because while they do this they they are not focusing fully on how tough and improved the Bulldogs are. Keep the smoke screen going I say!
Anyway, with a rush trip to Melb. on the weekend to see my kids and my grandaughter-to-be, I managed to sneak down to the "G" to watch my first game of the year live. What I saw impressed me greatly - confidence, desperation, versatility, and a lot of skill. I don't think I have seen a better-equipped Bulldogs side since the great one in '54. We have a side that is capable of beating any side in the comp. and capable of playing off in the big one. Note the word capable - another 10 rounds of footy to be played to get us in position to make that capability a reality.
So let's look forward to the next 10 games with great confidence, and let us hope that we have many opposition players missing to keep the media minds (an oxymoron?? ) diverted from hyping up our boys.
Finally.... May Callan Ward not play too much better before the finals. This kid is going to be a real beauty, but hopefully he can keep out of the spotlight for a few more weeks yet.
Go Doggies!
