Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R8 2020
Just finished watching the replay. Libba's stoppage work in the last qtr was off the charts. He won almost every single stoppage and gained so much valuable meterage for us. Stewie Dew mentioned how important his stoppage work was in his presser.
Love him."Look at me mate. Look at me. I'm flyin'"Comment

Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R8 2020
He's the latest in a lineage of Bulldogs who, when they stuff up they do it spectacularly. He is simply carrying on that tradition from the likes of Peter Quill and Todd Curley.
On a serious note, I reckon he suffers from the red mist - he can't slow down his thought process when he has the ball, and his decison-making therefore becomes reckless. He's an instinctive player with generally poor instincts.
He was actually ok tonight before that shank. Was a bad night for forwards and he was far from the worst. But that kick and decision - wowsers. Glad it didn't cost us. We were well structured defensively, which is credit to the players, so in the event of the Gowers turnover we had the numerical advantage further up the ground."Look at me mate. Look at me.

A massive admission of his value from an opposition coach. Essentially said you're watching the wrong mids....the guy you should be watching was Tom Liberatore.
As an aside, Dew is a very very reasonable guy. Sydney trained at my old home ground, long after I retired, but I was still boxing there at the Fairbairn Gym a team mate set up a few years ago, and our club let Sydney take over the ground to train one night. As I'd finished my boxing session Dew who was behind the goals near my car collecting balls the Sydney guys were kicking over the fence and I said straight up to him, given you've stopped training for this club, I reckon a nice way of saying thank you would be to give the club your training footballs.
He agreed that would be a nice thing to do, and a few days later I rocked up to that spot again and the lads had six yellow footies that were in excellent condition. Respect.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment

Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R8 2020
Wow, so I had a brilliant night last night, yet a heart stopping night none the less!!
Last night I streamed a Nick Cave gig called Idiot Prayer, just him on a piano and signing a wide range of well known and some well not known songs and the gig finished at three quarter time. And Damn it was brilliant.
I don't have Kayo or Fox so I streamed the game on my iphone via the AFL app and boy I was happy right up until the shank with 45 seconds to go.
A few thoughts from the quarter four,
*Vandemeer's effort on the wing was magical. Posters have been critical of his ability to keep his feet and his strength over the ball. He keeps adding to his game week in week out.
*Alex Keith is one of the most self assured footballers going around - his ball handling in the wet is ridiculous.
*Woods marking efforts in the last were awesome - I think one he double grabbed in front of Rakein(?) and obviously when Bont hit him in the last quarter. In fact the whole defensive team seemed to go above and beyond
*Good to see Lachie Young kicking clutch goal (his first) in the wet, when clearly goals were a premium.
*Liberatore's touch in close and his clever, clever kicks down the line to gain meters and kill the contest at the same time
*Bontempelli's mark in the dying seconds and then to hit up Easton Wood on the boundary
*The run and desire of the whole team when we had our backs up against the wall in the last was extremely extremely pleasingMore of an In Bruges guy?Comment

I thought he was saying *%#k me dead.
Further down in that tweet how many of you Melbournians are going to cut up your Bont socks.

Re: WB Game Day V Gold Coast Suns R8 2020
I'm pretty good at lip reading, I'm 90% sure those are the words his uttering.
Luke Darcy on Triple M in Melbourne this morning also had nothing nice to say about Billy Gowers and how pissed off he was with that kick.
Safe to say, I don't think anyone in Bulldogs management will want him playing next week.[I][B]"Its always good to win the Ashes test match'' - Libba, AFL Grand Final, 2016[/B][/I]Comment

When they review the tape do you think they just show the Gowers clip first, have a laugh and then get it out of the way?Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.Comment
