Round 22 v The Storm

[since77]

Our first win in Melbourne since 1999…Vossy commented at the end of the telecast that a young Dragons fan back then in Kindergarten watching that game would now be married with two children…that’s my eldest son!

My second son was a newborn during that last win back in '99.
2 weeks later poor guy was then bouncing away in his bassinet at my feet oblivious to my bleak change in mood during the 2nd half of the GF. Poor guy shared my lowest football memory and then went on to support the same team.
Have I ever mentioned how much I despise those inbred purple soulless cheats?

I was pretty angry with Hame Sele's offload attempt in the final 2 minutes though. Jesus christ

Brought back memories of Leeson Ah Mau dropping the ball in the final minutes of the 2018 final against Souffs. Only we can do such dumb stuff.
Still amazed we hung on. Another minute or two and we would have cracked.

My son texted me on Saturday night reminding me it was the first time in his life of being a Dragons fan that we have beaten them in Melbourne, he has his own son now who didn't have to wait quite so long.

I see that old ‘ have - a - whine ‘ Bellamy was most gracious in defeat , blaming the loss entirely upon the errors and mistakes that his charges made and not the grand efforts of the Dragons .

Give credit where credit is due Craig , quite simply your mob of cheats and thugs were beaten by a better side on the night - and in your own backyard !

Totally agree Gareth- obviously a great coach but a pretty abominable human being when it comes to graciousness and even the simple things such as behaviour in the coach's box when he knows the world is watching. you don't have to be able to lip read with the bloke and every time something doesn't go his way he's out of his seat, gesticulating and spitting venom and then out of the box. Some people call this "passion"- and therefore forgiveable. I don't. A great example to young people-not.

If I was an NRL player (I wish), that would be enough to dissuade me from wanting to play under him. Someone like the calm Bennett or Ciraldo is who I'd be drawn to.

Hand up Red V. were you feeling like I was after the 1st set from the kick off when Hunt fell off Munster and they made that break. Then 10 mins later Grant scored that try. Lawrie starting
I was thinking Sheesshh

I was like you, specially with our strongest defender Jack be Belin not starting. That baffled me.

No that decision I have been a big supporter of
JDB kills it when comes on after the initial 20 all this year
Then another small break in the 2nd half then be there when the whips are cracking when we need to cover for tired middles
He is our best for that

Ben has admitted that his games have not been great particularly his kicking game. I am sure that he has discussed this with Flanno and he has probably trained harder last week to not only improve his kicking but improving other things as well. Flanno's and Young's game plan for Saturday's game would have been with Hunt's "changes" being at the forefront.

Hopefully Hunt now realises what he is able to do and what he should have been doing and the team will continue to be inspired by this.

This could result in his contract being extended!!??

Hunt played better because Flanno and Jack D. played a lot of first receiver so when Hunt got the ball he was already in motion and played what was in front of him ........
