The Bulldogs Smile Through Pain - Neds Blog Every offseason two of my mates and I do a ladder bet. The stakes of the bet aren’t huge, third buys first…

The Bulldogs aren’t just surviving a year from hell — they’re building something dangerous. With an evolving Bevo-ball and a flexible list, they’re a threat that’s hard to ignore. #AFL #aflgiantsdogs

It was great to have #AFLGiantsDogs at Manuka.

How good would it be to have this 11 times a year?!

Walking the beachfront at Alghero, Sardinia, today with one eye on the ‘Dogs ripping the Acronyms a new one. Great win with terrific performances from some of the “lesser lights” — Buku, Harmes and Freijah.

Well done Doggies ❤️🤍💙 #AFL #AFLGiantsDogs #GoDogs

I fucking hate it when you’re smashing a team and then they kick junk goals at the end when it doesn’t matter. Kind of takes a bit of the gloss off, especially when it’s a team you have a past with. #GoDogs #AFL #AFLGiantsDogs

Jake Stringer did fuck all during the 2016 finals series including the grand final and nine years later he’s still doing fuck all. #AFL #AFLGiantsDogs

Good third quarter by the Dogs? Yeah, I’ll take that. Not bad at all. #AFL #AFLGiantsDogs

I tell ya what the AFL needs…a consistent hashtag structure. Is it team name or nicknamev The full name or abbreviated? Who can know?

Why not just use the shortened names? i.e. #AFLGWSvWB

Four anti-Labor attack ads in a row at the half time break for the footy, just ridiculous. And it’s not even the sort of stuff that they *should* be attacked on, because that’s the stuff that pretty much has bipartisan support.

#auspol #afl #AFLGiantsDogs

First half done and I honestly thought the Giants were looking alright in the first quarter and might bust it open. The Dogs steadied though and are going ok now. Will be an interesting second half. #GoDogs #AFL #AFLGiantsDogs

Somebody please take Jedd Busslinger aside and get him to take a deep breath, he's so spooked #AFLgiantsDogs

I don't think I've had a chance to say it on this platform, so let me repeat that every free kick against Toby Greene is correct in a universal justice sense. #AFLgiantsDogs

We've been so lucky to get Kennedy, he's fit in beautifully and really contributed to the goals at a time we're without Cody, JUH, and now Darcy. #AFLgiantsDogs
