Really??
Why do you have to keep belittling Treloar?
Certainly wasn't his fault that the entire Bulldogs team capitulated.
You should be much more objective in your analysis. I agree with you in defending Grundy, but you lose legitimacy with the endless slingshots against Treloar.

But that is the point. We should not have chucked him out.

Interesting.
In 2019, they finished 17th, and then in 2020, 9th.
So next year, I will be happy if we finish 9th.

So it only took a couple of years for them to be massive improvements.

Just need to get the right recruiting, assistant coaches and game plan.

2017 - How we laughed and gloated when we rolled them in the final round; us with nothing to play for, and costing them a spot in the finals.

2018 - How we laughed and gloated when their PF against WCE in W.A. was over by half time. Seems they haven't lost a final there since...

2019 - How we laughed and gloated when they did their usual disappearing trick the year after making finals, while we f&cked up another tilt at the flag.

2020 - How we laughed and gloated when they just missed the eight again, despite rolling us in H&A season.

2021 - How we laughed and gloated when we rolled them at the SCG, and wrote them off as pretenders. *sigh*

^ The great thing about a Grand Final we're not in is that there's always a loser. It's unfortunate that there has to be a winner, as well, of course.
