THE GAME - PS4

A goal to Ward

Dogs by 37.

Stop the game now pls.

What a shocking last quarter from Melbourne :mellow:

 

will be talking to someone from the mfc on SEN after the match. Couldn't catch who, may have been Ryan someone? Hopefully someone can catch it as I'm at work and wont be able to hear it

 

Still no score - ouch!

How many times have we gone inside forward 50?


Hmm, having played so well for 3 weeks, this last quarter could undo a lot of our good work.

Yeah, it's a shame that this quarter will be the last thing our players experience before the start of the season.

After such a morale-boosting win against the Lions away from home, this seems like a really bad way to finish off a pre-season campaign.

Hopefully this doesn't take away from any confidence we've built in the last 3 weeks.

Dogs have 14 clearances this q to our 4

Hey twist, where are you getting the stats for this game from??

I don't think it will. I think we have shown enough over the last month to suggest we will be a much more competitive side in 09. This is the second game in a row in very poor conditions and this time around it's against a full strength Doggies outfit who are pencilled in for a Top 4 finish. I'm disappointed we fell away in the last as badly as we did, but I don't think one quarter will take away all the good work we have done. We will get back some handy players by Round 1 and enter that game refreshed after a weeks break. Many more positives than negatives this time around!

18 more scoring shots! Shikes! Dogs should be 70 points up.


Bulldogs 14.17.101 to Demons 10.3.63

No excuses but the wind and rain helped the Dogs. The wind swung around and it suddenly became impossible to score at our end.

Aaron Davey also came off with a foot injury.

Disappointing end to a close game.

We had a midfield that worked hard and a defence that combined well but the forward line was virtually non existent.

To top things off Redleg's horse was just beaten in the Guineas at Randwick.

10.3. 63

Is that a final score?

Certainly this is a much better pre season than 2008. But to have three weeks where we were competitive and the margin was close all game, then to finish it off with this effort, I get the feeling that the players will have this match as a lasting image over the previous three. It would have been better to have had this result first, then the three better games as the lead up to Round 1.

jaded, we played in cairns last week on a heavy track,i watched play the roos last year at casey,and i tell you they are a lot better side now,after those first 3 qrts today i wouldnt be banking on another NO1 draft pick this season.

I agree in some respects, but I like to think that the players will look back on 08 and realise that we HAVE improved considerably through this pre-season. As WJ mentioned above the conditions in the last didn't help us and we caved. That's still going to happen with a young side. Like us I have no doubt they will be very disappointed with their finish to this game, but I still believe they can take plenty of confidence into Round 1.

To anyone who was there, who was out better ruckman - Spencer of Meesen?


If the wind and rain was anything like what we just copped here, i'm surprised that they didn't get more towards the end, the only things missing in the skies were the four horsemen.. i could almost hear Johnny Cash.

Every week we say this. How can we fix this problem?

I don't think there is a quick fix. Watts and Jurrah are a long way off. You would like to think Miller and Bate would be our two key forwards with PJ resting up there, with Aussie at their feet. Sylvia will play as a small forward and possibly the likes of Green and Bruce will rotate through there as well. It's not pretty though and I think we can all agree there will plenty of games this year where we struggle to kick a score.

Thank you for the updates.

Hopefully Petterd and Davey are not seriously injured and will be right to go in 2 weeks time.

I'm sure all of us are looking forward to read your match report.

By the way, can we get confirmation that one Jared Rivers played our the game and did NOT get injured? :o

Every week we say this. How can we fix this problem?

Bring back Neita!!!

Although bringing 'Jesus' Watts into the side might help (even though a fair way off).

Hopefully our midfield was decent today.

Thanks WJ and twist for the updates.

I am not concerned at all. As the guys at the game said, the conditions were in the Dogs favour in the last 1/4. Remember, they were full strength and we had a half dozen out, Grimes a late exclusion on top of that. You would expect the dogs to be at least a 4 or 5 goal better team than us and they probably are! Interested to hear a report on who was in form and who wasnt!

Bring on the real stuff!

Agree with that.

I would love to know where Maric is at. He trained apparently a week ago so hopefully he can push for a spot not too late into the season proper. We need a sharp shooter and he looks like a player with nouse to me who can get away from an opponent.

I was there till 3 quater time and clearly Spencer was our best ruckman, conditions didnt suit the talls yet felt Meesen looked alot better that what i have seen and read in previous posts

 

Well,getting within 3 goals was probably too optimistic at this stage but look where both teams are at!!!

Bulldogs are top 4 and we are basically starting from scratch,how many players with less than 30 games do we have? Plenty.

We played well for 3 quarters and our 4 quarter game will come with experience.

The worst is behind us and there is huge upside in the coming years.

Having said all that,i reckon we'll beat the Kangas in Rd. 1.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
