Official Round 3 : Bulldogs vs Tigers discussion

[turveys asthma puffer]

In all honesty there were only about 2-3 games that we should have won. The two Canberra games and the Titans game. Dean Pay years bro. We’ve played Melbourne there 3 times, a Sharks team on the rise who became premiers the following year, a cowboys team who were the defending premiers and we didn’t even play there in 2020 or 2021. Last year we had just sacked the coach, our record was 2 wins and 9 losses going into the dragons game where the game was in the balance until the last 5 mins and led the game at one stage.

Ok but you have to include the Dragons game in the games we should have won at Belmore. We beat ourselves that game. Can’t blame repeated kicking out on the full and not attempting to catch bombs on the coach getting sacked.

As long as Ciro doesn’t make them do a fitness test the day before the game like he did for the sharks trial then we should win comfortably

Sprinkle some holy water on the field and break the curse!!

Ok, so what I am hearing you say is:
"Ok but you have to include the Dragons game in the games we should have won at Belmore."
Also, "We beat ourselves that game."
And "Can’t blame repeated kicking out on the full and not attempting to catch bombs on the coach getting sacked."

You are very passionate about this opinion, to the point of repeating it over and over and over and over and over and over and over again...
(7 times in fact).

We break the curse with a 40 point win would be perfect

So we can carry Burto on big bucks and a long term deal and still be competitive because the rest of the spine....Reed, the Gun and Hayze all do their job? Right. Quite clear The Gun is our pre eminent half at the moment. He deserves a contract continuation and upgrade then.

 

[bricktamland]

Due for a win at belmore. But I have a feeling Sutton is going to try something to get tigers over the line.

lol it ain’t a feeling . That’s your insitict telling you that fuckwit who has hated us for years comes in hides in his bunker to fuck us over. They don’t even try to hide it . Hence last night both teams get away with murder and no send offs .. even for head contact

Go away Glenn, your posts make me sick to my stomach

 

[coach]

Surely we can get a win at belmore against the tigers
If we don’t, put a pen thru the season Sunday night

 

[Dogtime]

Me too, so much.

I have so many memories of Dogs games at Belmore. Sitting on the hill, can of Coke and hot dog in hand, screaming myself hoarse, watching champion players run around for the team I love.

It's still a special place to me, from walking through the turnstiles, to running behind the posts hoping to catch a conversion or goal attempt as a kid.

The excitement, remembering how it felt walking to the ground knowing we were always hard to beat at home

Belmore was the fortress of Canterbury. Sunday afternoon. 3 grades, a good crowd in attendance to see the lot. Young kids coming through. If a bloke had a good game he'd be on the bench for the next game, and would quite often get a run.
Hot dogs, meat pies, steak sandwiches in the grandstand.
Doubles on the main game, get your doubles. Peanuts here, get your peanuts. Candy coated or in the shell.
Countdown to the main game.
George Peponis, the Australian Captain, leading them down the tunnel. Mortimer, Hughes, Mortimer, Hughes, Mortimer, Hughes.
Imagine going to the footy and seeing 2 sets of 3 brothers in the main game. Throw in Brentnall, Billy Noonen, Phil Charlton, Robbo. No wonder we had combinations. All that backyard footy together for the Mortimer and Hughes clans.
The confidence would ooze out of them as the team trotted onto Belmore. Our home, our fortress.
A dummy from Gary Hughes, and he's away, picking up Peter Mortimer who passes to Steve, their not gonna catch him over 40 metres, or a cutout ball from Phil Charlton picking up a flying Steve Gearin, another Bulldogs try. Peponis from dummy half....their not gonna stop him, another try. Oh....that was high...out comes the magic sponge....oh he'll be alright. Little did we realise back then, that often he wasn't alright, but we only had like a 2 replacement rule, so he'd just have to play on.
A train stops to watch another Steve Gearin conversion from the touchline. The scores in the other games announced over the loudspeakers....oohs and ahhhs, Manly losing yeh, Penrith beating Parra...it's a good day.
What better way to spend your Sunday afternoon, than at Belmore watching another highly polished performance by the Bulldogs.
Confidence is in the air out Belmore way. That win in Melbourne, the way we did it, was huge.
Golden Slipper today, the Dogs at Belmore tomorrow. What a weekend.
Lets trot boys.

Nice write up. Brought up a lot of great and nostalgic memories. Victory was the walk of fame from BSG to the station. Losses were the walk of shame lol. The peanut guy in the white coat lol...and the hot dogs. Great times.

The point I’m trying to make is I don’t believe a footy ground can be cursed. If that was true then we wouldn’t have beat Melbourne and Newcastle at Belmore.

Secondly, half our games at BSG were against top 4 quality sides(Melbourne 3 times, Sharks, Cowboys), teams on the up vs Us who were clearly regressing for about 7 odd years in a row to the point where our winning percentage was below 20%. We have to be realistic instead of blaming a curse. We were just shit. Simple as that.

Thirdly, beating the dragons last year would have been considered an upset considering the dragons finished 10 competition points clear of us by the end of the year. The 24 points we scored against them in that game was the highest points we had scored in 2022 at that point of the season.

Kicking out on the full is not a Belmore curse. Go watch round 1 this year.

Yes, we should be extra motivated playing at Belmore but don’t discredit other sides being extra motivated as well by the Belmore “hype”.
