Re: New Bulldog Channel

Epic new interview with Luke Darcy! Not to be missed...

Episode includes cracking stories such as Darcy king hitting Bob Murphy, having a grenade thrown at him and removing a leech from Brain Lake's mouth. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did interviewing him.

Absolutely brilliant interview Mat. Shows what a great and humble character Luke is and what an incredible Bulldog family. I remember watching Dave Darcy at full back in games at Whitten Oval. He was almost never beaten in a contest, especially a marking contest, and then regularly streamed out of the backline and connected with precision kicking. Didn't know the story of his move to Adelaide until watching this.

I also want to compliment you on the way you interview generally. A journo. who doesn't go for the gotcha moment and allows the subject the space to expand their perspective is a rarity. At the same time you manage to raise touchy subjects in a very positive way.

Congratulations on the Channel. It is a great resource for all the WOOFers who love our club. I am a sub. and glad to see the numbers rising.

Keep em coming Mat.

He was an absolute gun. Sadly under rated. When he got on that wide arc he never missed.
All class .

Nice, still remember that time he was horribly concussed up in Sydney and the ambulance came on the field.

Re: New Bulldog Channel

Can we change the title of this thread to "Inside The Kennel"?

Too good. Thanks G!

Thanks for that Mat , you whipped that up quick , sometimes Doug gives us something out of the box we can think about.
I noticed you thanked Raelene in the credits she has always been a rock to Doug.

This is the best list I’ve ever seen at the dogs with depth and talls . Doug is right it’s time, if this list can get it together we could have a few flags coming.

Cheers Ledge. How was the vision of Marra coming off the bench and straight into the marking contest?! https://youtu.be/ih49Yb1C-ek

Yep, really interesting insights from Dougie about his depression and comparison to Baz.

One thing that Power has done is find talls who are exceptional when the ball hits the ground , years ago if you were tall you were no good with a ground ball , all our talls have ground skills.
Jamara , English , Darcy , Naughton all have great ground ball skills and let’s not forget Bont.
Doug mentioned Templeton and Beasley as champions and they were amazing but I’m not sure I can remember either kicking goals after picking it off the turf and a baulk or side step in a pack.
They just weren’t any good at it.

Re: Inside The Kennel

Different times though wasn't it and I think you can't compare past players with current ones.
They got a lot of leading up to the ball and one on ones today game tends to be more congested and you need mobility to work around it.
