Amazing what you can do with a team full of first round draft picks. Just tank for 2 decades and reap the rewards.Especially with all those duds in the draft..Watts,Toumpas,and that other guy (Scully). Still came through. Shows that rebuilds can can work even with draft busts. GFC take note..
Shannon Byrnes involved in yet another Premiership...get him back to the Cattery!!!

Okay so does is everyone who called Beveridge a genius going to call him a fraud now?
Hes neither he is just a good coach.
"Everyone gets tired but big men don't get any shorter". I think that applies here.
I thought Simon Black may have reached that back in 2003, but it seems he had 39 touches.

Bulldogs obviously got way too many 30+-year-olds in their side to be overrun like this
They were rebuilding for a long time and went through multiple successive rebuilds before getting it right. It's paid off in the end, but you wouldn't want to be in the wilderness for as long as they were. What everyone should take note of is the success post-Roos appointment. That's where they started building from. Shows that when you put the right people in the right places you can turn things around.Especially with all those duds in the draft..Watts,Toumpas,and that other guy (Scully). Still came through. Shows that rebuilds can can work even with draft busts. GFC take note..
Post Watts, Trengove, Toumpas, Scully, etc. they started doing better out of the draft - Salem, Petracca, Brayshaw, Neale-Bullen, Oliver, Fritsch, Spargo... As much as they blew 2008-2012 at the draft, they really cleaned up 2013-2017, and that's where they built much of their core group.

Not often you can see where a game turned but look at the score at the time
Melbourne arent unbeatable, the Bulldogs proved that only 2 quarters ago. You just have to go with them for 4 quarters, which is not easy.
Despite what you've been saying in this thread tonight, Melbourne arent that far removed from Richmond. Fundamentally the game plan is the same. If you can curb the influence of their class players and keep the pressure on them then you beat them.
Doggies definitely be back.
Get back Bruce and and another preseason into Naughton and Ugle-Hagan.
They need to finish top four for once.

Attacking teams with attacking game plans win flags. Take note CScott.

Carlton. Bookmark it.
Melbourne's midfield beasts are in their prime, this might be the start of something special for them in the next few years.
Welp so glad we wasted a million chances to pinch a flag because Dees, Dogs, Lions will win the next few.
Not so sure. There's a good chance Joe missed the game on his end of season trip to Noosa.
