Re: Thoughts about tonights game.

Hang on mate we have been pushing and trying to win apremiership in over fifty years the worst record going. nor the president nor TRUE supporters can keep accepting under achieving results. there is no excuse now days with draft in place for teams to go such long periods without challenging. I love my bulldogs as said i contribute to my club and always have i even have them tattooed. ARE YOU EVEN A MEMBER IF NOT PISS OFF YOUR OPINIONS WORTH NOTHING UNDERDOG!!!!

Re: Thoughts about tonights game.

Really? I thought we played very ordinary for almost 3/4 of the game.

Unless our coaching instructions were "play badly for 3 quarters" in which case Malthouse had it all over Eade.

We didn't play smart football at all in the first 3/4. Collingwood were disciplined and we played right into their hands by moving the ball glacially. As soon as we started trying to move the ball on quickly we were all over them, despite some poor decision making at times.
I'm not as fatalistic as some about tonight's game. I thought we saw most of what Collingwood have and we had plenty of improvement left. It was certainly nothing to write home about but if the game goes for another 2 minutes we would have won. Let people write us off and Collingwood get all excited about how great they are. It's not about who gets the write up in the Herald Sun, it's about the end result.
Sure we're not perfect, but no-one was freaking out last week so don't freak out now.

Yes, I agree... another post was of the view we didn't play too badly, and I disagreed. I think we played ordinary for most of the game.

Yes, I'm a social club member as it happens. I also love my club. I contributed tonight in the only way I could, by turning up, supporting, making hilarious witticisms about Leigh Brown and not getting all Chicken Little over a one point loss. I'll accept whatever results we have because I have no influence over them. Doesn't mean I like them, just that I can't change them. If you think otherwise then you're a fool.
Do you also honestly think we're not challenging. We made a prelim final last year. We're 3rd on the ladder now. Sure we're not Geelong but even they've only won one grand final so far (and yes I'm envious). We have faults but most teams do, even St.Kilda.
Did you complain about the underachieving team after last week's win?
I haven't got them tattoed yet (I've got a dragon, a very naff japanese symbol, a Descendents logo and a kind of Cowboy pointing a gun thing and I was thinking of Mallard ducks next, but maybe a Bulldog).
I agree my opinion is worth nothing, most people's aren't, but my grammar's fair to middling and I enjoy talking about my football team with rational sensible people.
I guess I'm just not a TRUE supporter. Or maybe I am. I'll have to check the criteria.

Re: Thoughts about tonights game.

I'm sorry guys but again against a top 6 side all i seen was crumbling under pressure for 3 quarters and no forward line. I hate to say it but no challenge for premiereship again this year!

Sorry, last bit wasn't necessarily directed at you, just thought 2 posts was excessive.
I agree with you. The first 3/4 was full of suckage and despite the stats and the fact that we did do some things well, we did overall play badly.

Would that cowboy happen to be off broke back mountain! listen good to see your a optamistic member, but i am upset about the performance tonight as i think most supporters will be . We have a hard run in and lets hope we can get hard, tough and premiership worthy with a libba attitude rather than your take it or leave it sit on the fence hope everyone had fun attitude!

Haha, very enjoyable 'fair to middling' post to read, Underdog. Especially love your description of your confused cowboy tattoo.

Ps. all Japanese symbol tattoes, unless you are Japanese, or married to one, or an ambassador to Japan, are naff.

Er, Dale, welcome to WOOF.

Look, no one is happy about the loss, but ranting and raving like a Collingwood or Richmond supporter after a loss at 2:20 am in cyberspace is hardly going to change anything is it (it certainly hasn't made a dint of difference to either of the above teams, has it...). I've done it (ranted and raved after a loss) plenty though, so I'm not judging you, believe me!

Funniest post I've read in a while... and I wasn't thinking funny thoughts that much tonight! Nice work...

Yes all Japanese symbol tattoos are naff but i'll excuse mine by making a word game to explain it. (And yes I do make sure I hide it in areas likely to be frequented by Japanese tourists)

Rearrange these words to explain my naff Japanese tattoo:

York, Drunk, to, 22, impress, New, trying, girl, years old, immature

Agreed, Underdog's post was very funny...

And so too your comment re: Japanese tattoos..

Ah. The real explanation for everything naff in this world.

No I think he's originally from Arizona but moved to Seattle. He may be gay though, not sure, he's only a silhouette.
Don't get me wrong I'm not happy about tonight, but there was enough for me to see the forest for the trees. I still think our best is better than theirs. I also know nobody wins every game and our recent form has been pretty good. Happy for us to show more Libba attitude and not so much of his kicking skills. I'm not sitting on the fence either, I'm just not hanging from a tree. I though our win against North was equally as bad as this loss for the most part, we just happened to win that one.

Thanks. I'm kind of like Nathan Eagleton. I don't contribute that much but when I do...

Ah. The real explanation for everything naff in this world.

What happens on the mountain stays on the mountain (no-one told Ang Lee that apparently)
