AFL Round 10 weekly discussion thread

That article is an article of spite, and spite only.

What an obscure angle this "40-year-drought" rubbish. We had a top 4, 40 years ok. Back then finishing 5th was missing the finals. Its obvious Barrett had to dig deep in the barrel to find something negative about Beveridge.
No wonder coaches hate the media.

I suppose, conversely, the fact that 40 years ago finishing 5th had you missing the finals whereas today you’re a finalist. The dogs should have had a better chance of making finals these days compared with 40 years ago (number of teams compared to number of finals spots) and they’re still too poor to make it.

Spiteful it may be but it has merit.....Beveridge is an average coach whose 'success' only came about because a bunch of romantic cheats who call themselves the AFL, gifted him a flag his team didn't deserve....in fact, they gifted him an entire finals series.

The fact that they haven't even made the finals since, no doubt devalues their 'premiership' and will continue to do so more, every year they don't. Even hardened Bulldogs fans must be feeling a bit like frauds now....as they rightfully should.

You’ll have to get over that one day. No amount of whinging will change history. The Dogs have the cup. The players have their medals. Time to move on.

Actually, Titus gets this right from today's 'Kneejerk Reaction': The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: AFL Round Ten - Titus O'Reily | Don’t have faith in yourself re: our loss to Collingwood.

"The loss pretty much sticks a fork in the Swans for the year but it’s not as bad as ‘John Longmire is off to North’. I mean the team is struggling, but they’re not North."

Spot on.....Horse is not a masochist.

We started the year poorly, but the last 3 weeks have been admirable. When these kids get 40-50 games under their belt, watch out.
