Great summary, and what a super Saturday it was. I must have watched the Dogs v Raiders replay highlights 6 times last night,still cant believe that comeback. Whilst some say the Dogs have no spine or weak they are hard workers who are winning and Ciros system is obviously working, great to see players show some pride in their club. Let's hope for a super sunday all the best against the Sharks!
They got a standing ovation from the Canberra crowd at halftime, fulltime, nowhere to be seen.
Not a huge fan of some of the niggle in his game, but no doubt he is an amazing player. Really lifts everyone around him, and I guess the on-field demeanour is part of that.
Rubbish. The general concesus on here is that we have less than a handful of star players and a weak spine of no names. Im assuming by your profile photo you indeed know Gus Gould is a former Bulldogs premiership winner and also coached them a premiership. Show me 1 player on the bulldogs lineup that is getting paid 7 figures there is none.
If manly don’t win it, I’m on the dogs bandwagon
Had to laugh at one of the commentators saying in one breath that it was I think only their second regular season sellout ever, and then saying the sellout crowd supported their case for a new stadium. Wtf. How can you justify spending tax dollars on a brand new stadium for a team that only sells out once every decade or so? And what exactly is wrong with the current stadium, apart from the fact it’s in Canberra?
Hahaha always welcome mate, as long as I can borrow a Manly jersey when they play the Bears at Brooky the first time
Yeah, because there’s substantial narrative insight to be found in a repeat of Ricky’s initial comment 🙄
You do realise that they simply bought their coach and three best players from Penrith, don't you?
Doggies just did their best to just stay in the grind first half, whether the storm, on that, the game against the storm last week was always going to catch up with them in second half, knowing the green men would fade, their big men v the fitness of the blue dogs second half onslaught, the dogs have big engines v the green machines big boppers in the middle, plus the Doggies D in the second half, their D has been winning them games for a good while now, which we had D like that.
Yes, I know who Gus Gould is, and I respect his experience and intelligence. He's doing an excellent job.
Sorry, from now on I’ll check in with you first before favouring another side. My bad.
In late 2024 the Dogs were $1.6 mill under the salary cap according to Gus. In fact $1 million was wasted last year on players under contract that didnt even get a run on the field Ryan Sutton, Jackson Topine, and Karl Oloapu.
Brian To'o is off contract this year, maybe you should put in a bid for him ! Haha
Oh, yeah - they've definitely struggled on the field (Dessie bites everyone on his way out), but they've never struggled for money. They're just using it way more effectively now🙂
