Leigh Matthews - Bulldgos 100-1 to win Flag

[angelopetraglia]

Lethal Leigh talking on 3AW tonight with Dwayne and Gerard.

What chance the Bulldogs to win the Flag Leigh?

100 to 1. He basically gives us no chance at all. Obviously doesn't rate at us.

He believes no one outside of the Saints, Cats and Pies can win it.

Well we can't expect too much from the media after losing to West Coast 2 weeks back. If we beat Geelong I reckon Lethal will change his tune.

Good opportunity in the next few weeks to prove a lot of people wrong.

Who cares really, i am sick of wanting approval from media.

Let's just win a flag, and not worry about what everyone else thinks.

Based overall on our performances this year, I can't see how he would view it any differently. We've lost to Carlton, and West Coast twice.

He may shorten those odds if we were to win both this week and next week.

It's going to be a Saints vs Cats grand final this year. We're just not up to their level. However, if we somehow make the Grand Final, anything can happen on the day. Saints might choke, Geelong might suffer more injuries, we might hit a purple patch. Should be exciting anyway.

Er, well to be honset I would have given us a 1 in 8 chances to win it.. but whatever. Thats his opinion. I'd like to think we could win it (even though deep down, I know we probably wont).

The only good thing about losing to West Coast is everybody thinks we are no chance. No expectation, no pressure, no worries. We have nothing to lose now and we play better when thats the case.

Except the chance to win a flag, something we haven't done for 55 years... Yep nothing to lose.

Re: Leigh Matthews - Bulldgos 100-1 to win Flag

I tend to agree with Lethal, unfortunately. Haven't seen much in recent times to change my pessimism.

Well if we lose it won't be a suprise to anyone. The only people who give us a chance are fellow bulldog supporters. I don't think we handle expectation too well.

At the start of the year Kevin Sheedy said Richmond were favourites for the Premiership...
boy was'nt he wrong...

I for one don't give a stuff what the media think, they change their mind after every round.

Saints are favourites, but we saw last week, if they drop their intensity, just like any other team, they are gone.

If Collingwood are a chance, so are the Bulldogs. I don't get this perception that C/wood
has a better team than we have.

And Collingwood have lost to St Kilda, Geelong, Hawthorn, Carlton, Adelaide and Essendon. They have also only played St Kilda and Geelon once each. Oh yeah, and they have Leigh Brown at CHB.

It ain't over till it's over.
