Bash that up your arse Norf!! Can't stand them and love it when we beat them. I'm so happy I could cry. Lot's of positives from the kids today and a definite hard edge to our team under Macca.

Great effort by Tory Dickson. His goals were earned the hard way. It must be very satisfying to know you can compete at the top level.


If Edwards had been as effective at the other end the result might have been different.

Great win. Beating North gives us some credibility. Good mix of experienced players and younger players contributing. Damn proud of them today. North are a great contested possession side and we killed them. Still have a long way to go but showed we've still got some bite.

Wonderful result. Won and won well against supposedly superior opposition.

Could not be happier right now.

Great win dogs. So pleasing to see a 4 quarter effort.

Mark Austin defensive efforts were superb. Continued to get his fist in when he had no right too. Was criticle of him last week, but full credit to him

Re: Game Day 2012 - R7 Western Bulldogs vs North Melbourne

Today was payback. For too long North have feasted on us coming back from Darwin......welcome to reality North and hello to our new Scott Welsh.

Me too. North is by far my most hated rival. I love beating them.

Agree. He stuck to his task really well.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R7 Western Bulldogs vs North Melbourne

Just a super win. The game plan starting to come together. So tough at the contest and at the man. So many fantastic desperate acts by a number of Bulldog players today.

We look so much more unpredictable going forward rather than just kicking it to Jones. Dickson, Higgins, Gia, Cordy, Roughead at times all looked dangerous.

The players would take so much confidence out of that effort. Besides the St Kilda game (even though we did win the inside 50s) we have been in every game for long periods with small lapses in concentration costing us. In reflection, we should our form against Adelaide in Adelaide was very good. We should have won that night.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R7 Western Bulldogs vs North Melbourne

Very pleasently surprised by the result. Haven't seen the game yet but looking forward to watching the replay tonight. From the little snippets I've heard, we seemed to smash them at the clearances and contested possessions. Norf would be bitterly disappointed at getting beaten up in the engine room. Apparently Gia gave them a bath, hardly surprising as he has owned Norf for a few years now. St Kilda match and GWS 1st qtr look like abberations.

Great win today, we simply wanted it more.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R7 Western Bulldogs vs North Melbourne

Great to see us nail the basic hard aspects of the game, it's baby steps but good result. Better use of the ball going forward, and we would've won by a result that was more reflective of our control of the game, rather than the modest 3 goal margin it was in the end.
The fact that North were still in it with 10 minutes to play, was a concern. And had they nailed one of their opportunities at that time, it would've been scary times.
It would've been an injustice to lose given how much we pantsed them in mostaspcets of the game.

Re: Game Day 2012 - R7 Western Bulldogs vs North Melbourne

Hate Norf too so enjoyed today.

Vez is getting fitter and more confident. Very happy with Addison today. Thought Cross was great when everyone else was buggered.

Most exciting thing of the day.........Cordy taking marks!!!!
