What a team!

True dogs of war

That 1995 team doesn’t really get the credit it deserves. The Broncos, Raiders and Sea Eagles were in their absolute prime and to knock them over in successive weeks is probably the toughest run a team will ever have to win the comp.

Got a picture of me as a 5 year old running around with a Bulldogs shirt while my parents were out house hunting the day of.

Never thought in my lifetime I'd only get to experience 2 grand final wins from us.

Says it all really - our GOAT

What a fantastic team we had,great memories
they were tough with a win at all cost mentality

What a day! My first GF win as a Doggies fan. Still have the jersey.

How proud did you feel supporting this club back then?

Today?....hmmmm

We were a feared and sometimes despised club. Today people feel sorry for us. Speaks volumes.

I watch that highlights video every few months, the best part is seeing Hasler at the end.

 

[Heckler]

Loved the commentary to the lead up of the Pricey try. Dymock....Dymock....

We did deserve one win & Super League stuffed us up for 96 & 97.

And a special mention to the first game against the dragons which was probably the toughest in wet conditions and to recover from that and beat the three best teams to collect the last ever Winfield cup was just magic. That 95 premiership was the best out of all our premierships.

I watched the game from a motel room in Yalata, near Uluru. Drove all around the Northern Territory with blue and white streamers, and a Bulldogs flag on the FWD. They though I was a local, because the colours were the same as the North Alice football team.

To top it off, Carlton won the GF that week too.

The headlines the next day were all about how Manly was robbed. Fulton was fuming over a seven tackle set that led to one of our tries.
He, and the media, conveniently forgot that we also had a genuine try disallowed; the score should have been 6 points more to the Dogs.
Manly were never in the game, but the media loves a controversy - and Manly were the Roosters of that era.

Yeah that game against the Dragons was a war. I didn’t mention them with the other three because they have been our bitches for close to 40 years now haha.

It was a great win, but I still hold 2004 dear to my heart because it gave fans something to celebrate after the 2002 salary cap issue and the Coffs controversy. The win made all that fade away.

What impresses me so much from those days is...yeah everyone knew how tough and uncompromising our forward pack was
..but the passing skills and positional awareness of most of those guys was awesome.

The game has evolved but if we could take parts of that skill and gameplan into 2021, no question we would be vying, at least, for Top 8.

This was my favourite finals series .
