    Re: Round 16 Footscray Bulldogs v Northern Blues

    What a weekend of Bulldogs footy...

    Webb & HC continue to press from the sounds of it and Hrovat got through unscathed.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

        I know you were a bit interested in the Hot Hands I mentioned a few times but I have another nifty gadget I often take to the footy

        It's called a Hydaway water bottle. It collapses into a disc when you are finished with it. Easy to take home

            Anyone on managed minutes that indicates they may play next Friday?

              My observations on this bloody cold day.
              Hrovat was excellent . Used it well , and took the first option and not the third or fourth.
              Honey was good again at the level ,as was Webb. Dad was solid, but needs to get cleaner below his knees .
              Zaine Cordy and Hamling didn't play . Roarke Smith took a great grab , but no influence.
              Minson battled the heart out , and rucked solo. Adcock for a senior player didn't do enough .
              THought Lynch got a bit of it , but has to improve defensively.
              Hamilton didn't do enough, and flashes in and out to much . Bailey Dale was better last , I reckon

                I can see opportunities opening up for Zaine and Hamling and Hrovat. Injuries are a curse, but also an opportunity

                    Feeling flat, I opted to give the game a miss and went out to check on my parents' house instead. Found it had been broken into and robbed. So that was icing on a pretty crap weekend all round.

                          Yeah, thanks, it's always a nasty feeling. Luckily we didn't lose too much of value and at least they didn't wreck the place, just made a mess looking for cash and easy pickings. But fair to say it's been a rough few days!

                            In the middle of the Saints match I got a text from overseas saying a close relative had died. He was 86 but it is still sad to hear someone go. He was my father's 1st cousin and he and my dad came to Australia in 1950 and lived in Footscray and eventually started following the dogs and going to matches. He eventually retired back to Cyprus. He was like an uncle to me and his son is also a mad Doggies supporter.

                            Watching the rest of the match I wasn't that enthusiastic , even when we hit the front, I didn't really cheer. When the two boys went down, I felt even worse.

                            Anyhow, my gut feeling is we will do well this Friday.

                              Really sorry to hear that, BAD. Thoughts are with you and your family.
