Opinion Your predicted table finish for the Dogs 2021.

[gbrussell]

9th to 11th for my pick.

 

[bradyk]

8th-12th (I think most people would bracket 9th-12th together) but more so 11th-12th.

 

[gbrussell]

Should we be considering how many games Sutton refs before casting votes?

Not just one Sutton.

I think having a better attacking game will help avoid putting the game in the refs hands some what.

We were always in tight grinding matches in Des' final years and under Pay's whole tenor and when you're in a arm wrestle you invite the ref to determine the result.

If we have the ability the score points a ref howler won't be as back breaking as it has been in previous years.

8-12 seems about right, without the benefit of a crystal ball. We could also exceed expectations, or the wheels could fall off - depending on all the variables.

 

[Dawain87]

8th - 12th is a realistic target.
We have a tough first 7 rounds with Panthers, Storm and Rabbitohs games.
If we can win one of these games we will be in a good spot and not rely on games on the back end of the season.
Knights (Rd 1) , Broncos (Rd 3), Cowboys (Rd 6) & Sharks (Rd 7) are games we can win.

I think it may come down to the two West Tigers games we have at the end that will make or break our way into the 8.

 

[Jippst]

Realistically i reckon between 12-15th,i can def see some injuries in key positions- ie 6 & 9 ..which means lewis may play a part & that spells cukka!!

 

[Brizdog]

And Lewis somehow!

don't remind me lol

Ok so coming to round #1 of 2021, where do you see our guys finishing after the season regular finishes? The poll will finish in 4 days so your decision has to be made before the first game.

8-12 for me.

Sorry grog dog ... I understand this is just a poll, but why put 5-7 in lieu of 5-8 ... it's a top 8 not a top 7 ...

I'm interested to see the percentage % of people who think we can make the finals and I'm sure there are people on here who can see us finishing 7 or 8 on the ladder (I am one of them) ... and this opinion poll doesn't reflect that.

 

[Dogna88]

12 to 14

I went with 8 - 12 as I've got the impression over the last few months that most would be thinking in those terms. As in anywhere from 12th to maybe scrapping into the finals, hence 8th. I don't think many think we are a solid chance of top 8 which is why I left it that way. I know on first thought it would have looked odd but that's why I did that. If I had to choose otherwise I would have gone with 9-12 BUT I think we are an outside chance with things going well of scrapping in.

Well said, refereeing will be the biggest obstacle to determine where we finish on the ladder .... Suttons, Klein, Cummins are corrupt as f**k playing there role for who is really running this game, betting agencies and broadcasters....and these rules are there to further aid results and live betting.

 

[alchemist]

12th at the highest but I don't believe we will be in the race for the wooden spoon

R.e.s.p.e.c.t to you for clarifying @GrogDog I totally understand, many supporters are naturally guarded from a tumultuous period we'd rather forget

I'm sure every Bulldog fan in their hearts wants the Bulldogs to succeed & exceed everyone's expectations, but let down time after time on and off the field, over promising and under delivering, all the coaching staff can do is get them ready for the season, now it's up to the players efforts to follow TBaz's gameplay should they want to one of the eight teams playing finals football.

Time will tell, new coach, new players / combinations, if we can stay healthy, win some games, playing to their potential there's always a chance

 

[TOTTO]

Hate to say it 12-16 for me .

 

[Sandra's Bollocks]

12-16 unfortunately. Spine is still too young and inexperienced atm but doesn't mean I'm not excited for the future.

 

[Sword]

9-12
