Post-Game Discussion Bulldogs V Manly [Round 26, 2024]

[TJ55]

Probably the Dogs because we’ve won 10 of our last 11 against them.

That would be epic, a 10 year semi final anniversary.

That would be epic, a 10 year semi final anniversary.

It always feel more special when Sydney teams meet in big games. I don't care much for beating Melbourne and the Cowboys. I'd prefer NSWRL and do away with Broncos, Melbourne, Warriors, Dolphins, Cowboys, Titans...

I’m in the Dogs were flat camp. From the opening whistle, they were struggling to make 30m and we were marching up field. When they’re not flat, they charge onto the ball and have heaps of energy and line speed in defence. Their usual line speed was non existent.

Of course, when a team is flat, the opposition look like they’re way on top and that’s because there is little in the way of resistance. They’ve been up for weeks and lost one game since rd.11. Sooner or later they were going to lack a bit of energy and aggression.

I really want to see Manly wrestle momentum against an opposition that’s going hell for leather. That’s when we’ll know what our pack are made of.

Why am I not surprised, Technical Len?

Last night’s game really rubs salt in the wound for that Tigers debacle last week.

Would love to run it back again in a few weeks with a full squad Manly v Dogs. Really missed Crittas leadership he binds that team incredibly. Who are Manly fans hoping to play first in the finals?

Cowboys at home. It’s not even a debate.

I think the loss for you guys last night is bigger than you may think. Clear blueprint on how to beat you through the middle that others will look at. Also 34pts against at home in front of the biggest dogs crowd in a long time will hurt mentally. Critter big out for sure, missed his leadership.

Kikau wanted nothing to do with Haumole as well. He should have stood up and taken on sone of our middles more. Dogs perhaps a bit tired and fatigued by all the hype. Game next week will say a lot about where Dogs are really at.

I don’t give a rats who we play as long as we win. I think we are a better chance of beating cows at Brookie than the dogs who imo are a better side than the cows, would be out for revenge, and will have a far bigger supporter base at the ground.

Hope his boss plays that back to him and asks him to explain. Embarrassing.

At the end they said it was grab of toby sexton but when I tried to go back, sexton is so far away that the camera actually cuts him off before you're able to see anyone "grab him" and the fact Klein asked anything more than that? When the player who supposedly got grabbed is so far away from the action. Also while I'm already here complaining, the bulldogs should of never had that try after toby sexton clearly touches the ball after our dropout and when ola did a great hit on Kurtis Morrin, and the ref stopped the game I was screaming "you better not penalise us for a good tackle" and then Kurtis Morrin had to go off for HIA and I was like hahaha that's what you get for staying down and acting for a penalty, I love watching players try and milk a penalty and end up getting taken off for a HIA. I also lost count how many times I said weak gutted dog last night, I blame Ricky for that.

I somewhat disagree, after short turn around and travelling NZ,Bundaberg and Brisbane I expected them to be fatigued. They were due a loss. The hype is just that, hype and I don’t buy into it. It’s only because we are been ****house for the last 7 years and Ciros system is finally working and Gus cleaned the club up. At the end of the day Manly were the better team last night but it’s come at a cost to both teams which isn’t ideal. If Burto fails his HIA this week it’s not good, as for you guys losing Saab and Turbo is bad. Interesting weeks ahead

Great jersey presentation

Wok...you champion!

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

I thought it was Xerri (aka "The Unicorn of Drug Cheats") who got put on report for the Saab tackle.

Sorry, yes it was.

Meanwhile, are ‘Pass the’ Xerri and Ash Joddo-Carr in a contest to grab the ‘Ugliest Man in League’ crown?

I think Charles Bronson-Xerri wins, hands down.

 

[Wombat Junior]

Did anyone catch when Burton did a 5th play kick into the in goal and the commentators don't say anything until a minute or two later and brandy goes that Burton kick went unnoticed, that was a bad kick or something along those lines. DO YOU REALISE BRANDY that you are a commentator, it went unnoticed by majority of people because neither of you commentators said ANYTHING about it. The commentators don't even try and hide their favouritism now, its blatantly obvious who they have money on.

It’s footy,not a beauty contest. If it was though the Hall of Famer would be John Hopoate.

Cameron McInnes and Mark Nicholls without a mouth guard are top two for me, also Kyle Flanagan is up there on the list for me.

I’m not trying to rain on the parade. I’m very happy with the win.

I did, and it'll cost your Dad $20 (Canadian) before I'll tell you!!!!!

Oh all right then.

It was simply a 'bad kick'

Brandy was saying that he is usually a great kicker, but that one was rubbish.

Xerri must be a strange cat eh! He’s got all those Tatts and then to chop that big snoz like he did…he must have some pretty big insecurities. It hasn’t helped. If anything, the new nose looks worse.
