Re: Finish this sentence... If we get beaten by GWS...

Sorry, Underdog, but I believe that one of the main reasons we lost was because of your Cubs avatar and the Cubs avatar of that other member on this site. You just aksin' for trouble doin' that, boy!

Re: Finish this sentence... If we get beaten by GWS...

Jim, just so i am prepared, what number should I put on my jumper? - I just want to be prepared and then I can say "I was on you before anyone noticed you"

Also what do you want the banner to say? "The Second coming?"

Could be worse you could follow the cubs too..... oh wait.....

Since #4 isn't being used in the Seniors for now... grrr... that will be my choice. And I do hope that the term you use "I was on you before anyone noticed..." is a footy reference only.

Perhaps the banner should read: "The only drug he takes is Viagra!"

Pretty sure we're fully capable of keeping & maintaining our own appalling karma & history without borrowing from anyone else's

Re: Finish this sentence... If we get beaten by GWS...

But we can't just keep on harping about how we're on death row every time we lose a match.

Agreed, but results like last night are akin to death by a thousand cuts. We have a declining membership base, and our unattractive and unsuccessful game style (to date) under BMac is simply not going to be bringing lapsed members back into the fold in the short term at least. It is hysterical to talk about Armageddon after an individual loss but equally it is irresponsible to sweep effors like lasf night under the carpet.

We have a major issue with our mid range talent - think we all acknowledge that. But we really need to acknowledge that BMac has significant limitations as a match day strategist. It is far too easy for opposition coaches to dictate the flow of contests against us. BMac urgently needs some senior support in the box, otherwise his senior coaching career will be brief.

Tom Boyd will be coming to the Bulldogs.

Unfortunately nothing will stop the AFL from giving him to GWS

We will beat GWS just remember guys We beat Port only 4 weeks who have basically the same
side we beat them in who beat Swans and Pies, and now look like playing finals.

We are on the right track and we need to finish where we are now to get a quality young talent into our system.

We will more games than we did last year and im sure next year we can win 8- 10 games next year!

Well, I certainly didn't think we would e beaten by Melbourne. My optimism has evaporated.

I thought we'd win but in no means was I brimming with confidence. We've won 3 games this season why are people surprised Melbourne beat us?

Oh an to finish this sentence. If GWS beat us I probably won't have to read another stupid finish this sentence thread for the rest of the year. Good times.

Wasn't that we lost. It was how we lost.

Re: Finish this sentence... If we get beaten by GWS...

Wasn't that we lost. It was how we lost.

How was the loss any different though? Poor ball use, non existent forward line, lack of defensive pressure. I'm not having a go at you but the same holes were exposed again last night like they have for most of the year. The only difference is this was a game we were expected to win.

Have you seen Melbourne this season? They aren't just a poor team, they have been diabolical. Prior to last night they had won 8 quarters for the entire season - they have been Fitzroy 1996-esque in their complete and utter non-competitiveness. To be frankly outplayed and outgunned for 3 quarters by such a poor team, with our best players playing at their best, really is concerning. How can a team that routinely loses the uncontested possession count by 100+ smash us on the spread for most of last night? BMac can talk about development, teething problems and the like until he's blue in the face, but I think he needs to have a look in the mirror and acknowledge that he has match-day shortcomings himself that he needs to iron out and make significant improvements to.

... I'll drown myself in lake Burley Griffen.

Going up for the game, opted for this one over a trip to the Gold Coast because I saw this as the safer bet. Worst case scenario I get to eat at my favourite BBQ joint, 'Smoque.' But I'll be suicidal if we lose.

I understand your point, but I really expected us to have learned from last week.
Dismal three quarters of footy. Melbourne have been an absolute rabble. We simply needed to put on a show and we didn't, bar a single quarter.

What 3 teams do we beat from here on in to get to 6 wins? we are more likely to win less than we are to win more, which would be poor. The lack of progression in the game style from last year is a serious problem.

Re: Finish this sentence... If we get beaten by GWS...

Melbourne have been an absolute rabble. Forget all the above. We simply needed to put on a show and we didn't, bar a single quarter.

While we've managed to squeeze a few wins here and there we're really not that much better.
