Elimination Final 2010 - Bulldogs v Swans Game day thread
We got further than anyone could reasonably expect considering our run with injuries, but gods I wanted to see Kirky & Roos out with a better game than that.
Once the sting fades, I think we'll appreciate 2010 for a pretty damn good season, all things considered. How good COULD we be with a fully fit team, and with that experience? The kids got some good games, and there's some promising ones there.. Reid, Rohan, Jets, TDL etc... We just weren't good enough in the end. Had our chances and didn't take them. Hold your heads up, Swans. Have a good summer.
177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out.... Des' Weblog
Great year boys. Roosy and Kirk gutted. I don't think they deserved to go out like that. They had that game and threw it away. The Mummy being injured hurt us plus wasteful behinds. Unfortunately for us we gifted goals on the turnover like they were going out of fashion. Hard to fault the year though. Keep your heads up boys. On to next year.

I agree but I am disappointed that we gave up a 30 point lead.
Great unexpected improvement this year...BUT.....we should not have changed the squad from last week. Bradshaw was a liability. Bevan had been bloody good in recent weeks. A sight tougher than some today....
We've had a good year but tonight was a @@@@ing disgrace IMO. The Bulldogs are a depleted team and we had them on toast, and we blew it.
A prelim final spot was there for the taking and we didn't grab it. Mentally not strong enough.
Once we were 30 points up we just stopped and let them back into the game, that just shows a complete lack of mental toughness if you ask me. We had them bent over and we were ready to make love to them but we blew it.
Disappointed, but we got a lot further than I thought we would. I think a few things caught up with us in the end.
Some observations...
1. Not sure who was more biased; Stephen Quartermain or the umpires. It seemed that a lot of the 50:50 decisions went Bulldogs way and a lot of decisions were let go for us.
2. Ultimately, you could say that the various misses from Bradshaw cost us the game. Could of should of... But aside from that he played well.
3. Josh Kennedy is awesome
4. TDL had a shocker. So did Reg and a few others.
Dunno what else. Feel flat, but they achieved so much this year....
Almost forgot...
So long Roosy and Kirky

He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.
