About time we have a poll about the game just played.

Should this be a weekly thing?

I've chucked in a few Saintsational specials as options of course!

No worries.

I aim to please.

And when I go to the loo I aim for the bowl.

I went with Paddy over the tackles because we have seen the tackles before but not Paddy play like that.
Also would of liked a suck sh*t Paul Roos option. Note to Roos. Try to score

I was in a box today.

There was a guy from Belgium who had been here since March but didn't have a team yet. I gave him one of my 20 scarves. He has a team now.

He lives in Footscray and is disappointed that there is no local team for him to follow.

But all of that wasn't an option so I voted for Paddy.

Great effort. Nothing like a win to assist in a conversion.

I added another option and it deleted all the votes.

So sorry guys, due to an unforeseen glitch, could you all please vote again.

Thanks for the extra option on my behalf.
I still went for Paddy though.
If you worded it the way I did it may of been different
Seriously though I think the positive of Patty today out ways my hatred of Roos and his game style.

Went for being above the cheats. But that will become regular for the next 10 years anyway lol.

Nothing is better than seeing that s*** club and team in the mire.

It was almost comical that he was pinged for holding the ball every time he got near the ball in the first half.

Mmm no team in Footscray?, the Western Bulldogs may be a but miffed , ( or not the sharpest pencil in the tin?) of course then there's Seddon Yarraville Williamstown footscray district league teams etc, etc 

Paddy and Goddard shouldve been the option

It was a dream watching those two. Both doing exactly what we want to see.

They are guns.

Western Bulldogs will become Footscray again after the doze central Footscray over the next decade and the whole suburb becomes yuppified.

No worries. I'll try and remember. It's a bit of fun but also summarises the game in a stats format.

This is why , i don't get the people who want to see us lose matches and finish bottom .
There is no guarantee that paddy isn't going to be a squib like watts or any of those number 1 carlton duds !
He looks to have the talent but only time will tell .
I'm happy to get a top 5 selection , and keep my fingers crossed that he like paddy becomes a great 5 time premiership player at St kilda .

I chose winning at the G, which will be invaluable as this team grows. Realistically though I could have easily picked Tackling, Paddy, Moving up Ladder, seeing tankers get upset, and Roos fail.

I take no pleasure in watching Watts flounder, (I hope he eventually comes good and shoves it right up the people who hang it on him), nor care little for free kick disparity. If anything I'm annoyed about the free-kicks because the umpires choose to even up the score for us on the weekend when we didn't need their help. Where was that fairness when we played West Coast?
