And we when we knock off Geelong tomorrow?
The Cats didn't take the game serously enough, and of course they were all so tired from last week's third quarter effort.

wishful thinking?

did you just make up those views on the dogs?

After the dogs beat richmond who claimed that they were a lock for a top 4 lol?
and watching the telecast of dogs v adelaide, leigh matthews said it best when he said the 'dogs arent quite functioning well as a team atm'

perspective is very interesting, especially when you just make it up.

well then you are completely wrong about the 'verdict' after Carlton beat Richmond,

because all newspaper articles/ views were raving on about how we have many forward options and replacing Fev wont be as big a problem as what was thought during preseason.

Consider this:

Round 1, Carlton defeat Richmond by 56 points, 18.12.120 - 9.10.64

Verdict: Richmond are hopeless, we should have beaten them by 100, it's all Ratten's fault, you can't judge anything by the result.

Round 2, Western Bulldogs 17.18 (120) d. Richmond 7.6 (48)

Verdict: Western Bulldogs are a true top 4 team, and show it by thrashing Richmond

Round 4, Carlton 16.7 (103) d. Adelaide Crows 6.19 (55), at AAMI Stadium, after playing some horrible footy for a bit over a quarter, from half time until part way through the last.

Verdict: Adelaide are shot this year, the result proves nothing, we only won because the Crows couldn't kick

Round 5, Western Bulldogs 18.13 (121) d Adelaide 10.12 (72)

Verdict: This proves that the Bulldogs are a force this year, and last week's defeat was aberration.

Funny thing peoples' perspective, isn't it?

Your comments are nothing but hogwash until the Dogs play the bombers...get back to me after that one..

Most people say my comments are nothing but hogwash, regardless of the Dogs playing the Bombers.

One match doesn't define a season, and those who say it does are talking out of their fundamental orifices.

More importantly, it will be interesting to see our match tomorrow, and then against Collingwood, both matches are winnable, IMO.

'our window will open in 2015' jargon...take each chance as it presents itself and u just never know what may transpire....

We have beaten Richmond & Adelaide this year. Lost to Essendon* & Brisbane.
When we start beating teams of value "consistently", then and only then, can we expect some positive media.

We have a chance with Geelong, Collingwood & StKilda over the next 3 weeks. Not long to wait and see how good we are this year. We'll know in 3 weeks time and so will the rest of the footy world.

Please provide the quote where anyone is talking about 2015.

The loss against Essendon* will not be forgotten any time soon.

Any stupid theories about the media maginfying the loss etc etc.?

Did you think he would KK?
