Here a question for you. This isn't so much Trump Watch as Trump Observation and it comes from a talking head I seen the other day who noted that he's known Trump for over 30 years and in all that time he's never seen him laugh.

And i can't say I ever have either. Searching my memory the best maybe I can come up with is him chuckling along to something he may have said but I don't know if I ever really seen that either.

DEFINITELY never laughing openly to humour (or whatever he thinks would be funny).

He doesn't laugh, he hasn't got one in him.

Yes I do deny that..(but why you have any right to ask me to explain it I seriously wonder..but ok for the sake of appeasing you)...it's real that not everything is positive week to week concerning our team. We come on here to discuss players, coaching, Admin, the media and biased reporting. In short everything about our team.  This is a public forum of different ideas and opinions... you can't seem to grasp that concept.

I'm having my say about my team ...no better or worse or positive or negative than anyone else on here. Opinions are all governed by what's happening at that time.  I assume you'll deny being the resident BDP cop always taking the high ground on any issue (especially concerning Lichaa) and picking a fight with anyone you disagree with. I was hoping the new site would improve your disposition.

 It's an open forum ffs. If posters point out the obvious, say anything, you don't like it, you jump on here berating them and fall back to using any old excuse to suit your agenda against a certain few posters.

But not all mind you...you manage to keep off the keyboard with some of your favourites on here...others not so much.

 For example (and sorry to bring you into it HD :)

HD said when we were discussing the merits as against the failures of Frawley by comparison to Cleeland never getting a go, that he wondered why Des picked Frawley over Cleeland in the first instance... it was a shame Cleeland never got a fair chance to show his talent.

My horrible negative reply, which caused you to carry on like a spoilt child, to HD was that Des chose Lichaa  over Cook ...go figure...the same reasoning?

You say "There is no agenda except to try and show some positive side to things"...well why then did you not get stuck into HD (or even Nancy that well known Frawley Fan :) for having the temerity of expressing his opinion on the Frawley/Cleeland issue. Why weren't you putting up a positive opinion on our current ISP Captain...Steve shame on you. Because you really don't mind what anyone says on here, whether positive or negative, the real reason is it's only when a certain few on here have their say,  that you go off your tree and that's your pitiful agenda exposed.

Let it go mate.

Thanks Tony for your support...I think it's time to call a halt to Steve and his mean spirited agenda.

Let everyone have their say. Counter with your own views and opinions if you feel the need but don't berate and try to belittle or insult with snide remarks and come backs because you don't like what's said.

And the cameras pan the stand in stunt man....

You bring up old news as if it were a scoop. I say Cook was the outstanding hooker this year,,,but again I defend the whipping boy in Michael Lichaa. He is the bloke who causes all our losses and when we win it is in spite of him. He is a good player to whom you have never given any credit. He is a more effective tackler than Damien Cook will ever be but Cook is a freak as far as speed goes. I really think you need to harden up. I have no issues with HD or Nancy and you seem upset that I don't. 

ODF made a brilliant post a while back which I suggest you read and attempt to digest  "Great game and big FU to all the wrist slitters out there that were beying for Dean Pays blood. All it needed was patience and to let the young blokes get familiar with the rigors of first grade before they could re-form those lower grade combinations. The finish to the season sees us in solid form going into next year and gives the fans some hope of an entertaining future. "

The Buster Keaton of American politics

You still don't get it. Let it go.

Great post by ODF and everyone acknowledged it. Towards the end of the season, Pay grew into the job and also the players bought into his methods and started forgetting Desball. Why keep falling back to this same argument..you're like a broken negative and so so negative.


If it was uo to you, you'd still be berating those who wanted Des gone.

Get over it mate.

All the players Des let go are playing finals this/past weekend.
Except Woods. He got lucky leaving the dogs a couple of months ago and now playing finals footy. 

I don't believe it...an emoji free post. You never recanted any of the things you said about Pay and show me where you acknowledged ODF's post...

That's not correct... There were heaps of players let go that nobody cares about.... 

Ok here we go again...one more time for the Steve lol :)

There were quite a few posts around ODF's,  and others, accurate summation of our season.  Most, fairly, told it like it was...some good; some bad but at least on the improve as it looked like Desball was not the goto plays as much towards the end of the season and that was good coaching. And I added my 2 cents worth as well on the improved, positive footy we played for the last 2 months or so since Lewis, Smith were added to the team. 

I see no need to recant my opinions on how Pay was coaching with the use of his bench rotations amd non selections of improving players rather than stick with non performers such as Montoya, Lichaa, selecting Holland as hooker sub etc. They were my personal critisisms of his coaching but I said I thought he improved and grew into the job...good on him. (In fact Steve you had a go at me then after that post)

I don't recall specifically congratulating ODF on his post but if not, I hereby acknowledge that post to make Steve happy.

Poor bloke ..can you imagine standing around that bbq I often speak of and a fool says this to you?.
"I don't believe it...an emoji free post. You never recanted any of the things you said about Pay and show me where you acknowledged ODF's post"...what a baby.

Sometimes it is not all about the players but rather the coaching, Lichaa looked a better player in his last few games.

Cook is going well now playing a different style in a different team.

Des's opinion on hookers was simple, we can have any hooker we want as long as they play like Matt Balin.

Des's style probably works if he gets round pegs for his round holes. 

Good luck to any Dogs players who have kicked on at other clubs, most of them were nice guys, and I'm disappointed that we let some go. 
Let some players go was a mistake, as was signing some others, it is early days be we now appear to be making better decisions.

I'm excited to see what our new look team can do in 2019, that is a good test of Pay and the new regime.

I have already forgotten the name of our ex-coach, and the bloke that claimed he was doing recruiting. Regardless of the accidental mention above :) 

I was impressed with future bulldogs
Cory harawirea nieara & criston criten last week
So im going for the penny panthers 2 beat the sharks

Good pick Tony...forgot about that ...it will be very good experience for those guys joining our team for next year so yeah I'm going for Panthers also :).

Same here Tony, I rate Crichton, Smith, Tom Carr and Bergamin is OK, while BMoz was good, we have good wingers for 2019.

Harawira-Naera is also good and may be able to cover centre, it is handy having a backrower in the 17 who can adapt to playing centre.

I though we were short of quality backrowers, but Harawira-Naera and Smith are good additions, Martin is also good.

We had added some better options in the halves, Lewis & Cogger. 

Bring on 2019, and go Panthers for 2018.

The lol emoji king strikes again BUT at least my memory is good....Dan you are the true fairweather supporter 

Oh great... Were singing lichaas praises for playing a couple of good games at the end of the year again... His body shape is enough to let me know he's not interested in being the premier hooker in the comp...
If he starts next year fit I'll give him half a chance again... 

Have faith my son

Dman I praise Dutchy 99.9% of the time and Lichaa 0.1% of the time. 

You are right, I should be praising Dutchy 100% of the time, 

On a more serious note - I simply said Lichaa had improved, seen a bit of Woolford, not 100% sold, so far, he seems a bit hit and miss.

I would still like to try Woolford in 2019 and JMK.

 

It's good to see that the BDP is finally getting back to its' normal happy self........ Now getting to the subject of the finals........ of the 6 teams remaining I don't want to see Storm win (could you imagine the never ending barrage of "we won two in a row"- fark you'd never hear the end of it. Souths and their bell ringing bullsh!t... spare us from that wank. Cheats with fins or cheats with feathers, both teams are guilty of trying to buy a premiership. So that leaves Penrith and st merge. Penrith probably doesn't have the firepower to go the distance and Dragons........ well they do have the ability but it is their consistancy that lets them down. as I said before, I would like to see JG rewarded.

In my opinion this team will never win a premiership with lichaa at hooker.

Has always been my opinion and I see nothing to change it. The guy is a gnome. Lichaa and footy brains just dont mix. Even when he makes a break, he looks like a deer in lights. 

Apologies if I hurt your feelings steve, but we need someone with a footy brain at hooker. Whether lichaa can play elsewhere, I dont know. We can be a mid table team with him and also scrape into finals. But to win, we are going to have to cover for him because he just doesnt ask questions from dummy half and we have weaknesses elsewhere that need to be covered for. 

He's probably ok for next year as we arent going to win it. But soon we have to decide who our next hooker will be. 

Dragons can win if JG doesnt play. He is bad luck.
Has lost over 6 GF's. 

Dragons went ballistic once he went off on the weekend. 

I rest my case...pfffft

I’m with you Dman..... it’s clearly time for a change in the 9 for us


Lichaa’s has had SOME good games for us in 2018, but with the overhaul of our squad for the better.... No:9 is the last piece of that puzzle

There is no more deserving player in the game...
Bad luck or unlucky?... To make 6 GFs is no mean feat...

The Minister for Revenue and Financial Services, the Hon Kelly O'Dwyer MP, looks a little silly with her earlier hounding of the industry super funds.

If there was ever a bloke you want standing next to you on a footy field its Jimmy...

Who’s this Jake Avrillo kid from SG Ball we’ve re-signed for a further 2yrs... some big wraps on him??
