Surely you are taking the piss....that game was a war Dean Pay and Simon Gilles take Tallis to town and Terry Lamb guides them home only to get in the sin bin and the team shows great heart to hang on with out him. You have no idea mate.Dogs v Dragons
1995 quarter final
On fox right now
Dogs been getting owned all match and they have been playing the exact same footy they play today.
Who was it that said the dogs aren't the dogs anymore...
So that means they haven't evolved.Dogs been getting owned all match and they have been playing the exact same footy they play today.

Im talking more tactics... Obviously aggression and pride in the jersey has gone missing.Surely you are taking the piss....that game was a war Dean Pay and Simon Gilles take Tallis to town and Terry Lamb guides them home only to get in the sin bin and the team shows great heart to hang on with out him.

This is the stupidest thing I have ever read on here.
Yeah Defo but the footy works.So that means they haven't evolved.
The Dogs players of the 'olden' days would fight till the death. (even if they were getting smashed)
I was at that game it didn't stop raining all day so there was never going to be open attacking play. Terry and Pollys kicking game was perfect for the conditions.Im talking more tactics... Obviously aggression and pride in the jersey has gone missing.
Simon Gillies standing over everyone after every tackle.
Yeah I get sad when I watch 90's games... That was footy!Mind you that was an all star saints team yet they could only score 8 points. So we played out of our skins to be honest and our defence was amazing (nothing like the soft defence we display today).
And another thing I notice is how much better the game was reffed back in the day. Free flowing, much more niggle, more aggression and impact. I don't even know what the penalty count is but it's probably 1/4 of what gets blown these days.
It might not be as skilful as it is today, but give me that any day of the week. Hard contest with big hits and great defence. Oh and no referee interruptions.
Cracker game... So tough! Truly the dogs of war!I was at that game it didn't stop raining all day so there was never going to be open attacking play. Terry and Pollys kicking game was perfect for the conditions.
How good was Polly he is the exact type of player we need in our current team. All heart and a great organiser.Cracker game... So tough! Truly the dogs of war!
Only thing that slightly resembles it is state of origin. And even that isn't the same anymore.Yeah I get sad when I watch 90's games... That was footy!

The Whole team man.. Every player putting their body on the line.How good was Polly he is the exact type of player we need in our current team. All heart and a great organiser.
He doesn't care about or understand that, he's from Manly.Maybe Hasler should do video sessions of our old games too. Get some passion back in the jersey.

How good is Dean Pays tackle on Glen Lazuaras in the Broncos game. He literally shatters his ribs in the first minute.Gilliies was incredible in the 95 finals run.
The Dragons match got our confidence growing and we "clicked" from there.
I'd encourage anyone with any interest in the Bulldogs to go find the next match vs The Broncos (featuring a baby Darren Lockyer), then the prelim against a star studded Canberra side ( sweet revenge for 94), and the Absolute mugging we gave the hottest favourite in GF history (surely) Manly who'd only lost 2 matches all year.
Best consecutive pressure run we've ever had. This is what the current team have before them....pfft
Fuck off Des
