2025 Draw

If you look at our past 5 seasons, there are some interesting points in the draw....
  • There are 2 clubs we have played 10 times = Newie and the Rabbits. Both of them own our arses at 2 wins/8 losses. We have the Knights twice again this year and Kaylan has had a big rest.
  • There are 3 clubs that we have played 9 times = Dragons, Cowboys and Eels. With Dragons we have a decent record 4 wins/5 losses, however the other two own our arses at 3 wins/6 losses and 2 wins/7 losses respectively. Guess which 2 we have to play twice? Our single game v Dragons is also in Brisbane.
  • There are 2 clubs we have played 8 times = Doggies and Manly. We have a 50/50 record with the dishlickers but are owned by the Eagles with 2 wins/6 losses. Out of the two Id prefer to play the Dogs twice...nope. We have Manly twice and neither game is at our proper home grounds.
  • There are 4 teams weve played 7 times = Warriors, Raiders, Sharks and Panthers. We have lost all 7 v Warriors and have scored them twice in 25. Even though we flogged them last year, we remain the Raiders bitches at 1 win/6 losses and have them twice as well. Cronulla and Penrith both own us at 2 wins/5 losses each and we have the Panthers twice in 25, both at CommBank. Sharkies just the once however and at Leichhardt.
  • There are 2 teams weve only had to play 6 times and thank god...Melbourne have a 6 and 0 record and the Titans a 5 and 1. Luckily we only have the Storm once but have Titans twice.
  • Two powerhouses have only played us once each year for the past 5 = Roosters and the Broncs. The Roosters at 5 and 0 use each round to practice their proctology skills whilst we actually have the wood over the Broncos. The Broncs have been our bitches over the past 5 seasons and are the only team in the comp we can say that about. Keeping up tradition, we only drew each of them once. Neither game is at one of our proper home grounds.
  • The Dolphins dont really trouble us and we have them once.
Due to the draw and our recent history, we have to change a lot to make the 8. Some teams I think we can beat we only have once whilst others we always struggle with have us twice.

Pack it up boys. Might as well throw the towel in.
28wins in 116games. The draw isn’t going to make a difference.
I wonder what the statistics were like for the Bulldogs over the past 5 years before this season from 2019 to 2023?

My post wasn’t remotely about throwing the towel in.
 
Bulldogs Stats 30wins over 2019-2023
Broncos Stats 49wins over 2018-2022
Warriors Stats 46wins over 2018-2022
Cowboys Stats 42wins over 2017-2021
Knights Stats 33wins 2015-2019

Obviously ours is a much greater hill to climb.

Sorry no, I didn’t mean to change the narrative. I appreciate the stats but the thing that could my attention the most is we have won less then 30 games over 5 seasons.
It is the worst stat out of any previous failing clubs or previous wooden spoon holders.

I don’t think who we play will make a difference we just need a team that can win regardless.

Of the first 10 games

Only the Broncos and the Storm worry me.

We should win a fair few of the games in particular Newcastle and Parra

Really? We came dead last three years in a row and we're already getting confident? Not trying to be pessimistic, but wins against anyone should be big and celebrated. We did this last year and lost badly to teams who went on to be much better than us. Every team worries me and I hope our team doesn't have that attitude, because they certainly did in the past.

This would be the result of forum optimism W it can get out of control the preseason anticipation.

A large number of the losses last year were winnable.

We just lacked those players with a fraction more class and experience.

We are significantly stronger and smarter squad in 2025.
