Hard to know what to take away from this. We are not being challenged at all. I can't imagine this is doing the Bulldogs preparation any good either.

At least we're thrashing them when we should be.

Frosty is a monty for round one.

I'm also loving how Garlett and Lumumba are fitting into the side.....real contributors all three of them.

Reminds me of training thursday , overall a good performance with some errors . i reckon our defensive players in the drills put more pressure on the the dogs today . good signs !

Half time

8 4 52

1 1 7

Chicken BLT got a bit of it early, but Southwest Chicken finished all over the top of it. My money is on a couple of Big Macs and a 20 pack of nuggets getting a lift back down the highway on the Hutchy express.

Apart from that, Salem, Garlett, JKH, Hogan, N Jones are killing it.

I know 2 of these Bulldogs players so I think I'm more qualified to commentate.

Love seeing The Toump and Salem rack up some possies, very neat and composed kicking from both of them. Grimes also looking good today - this might be a good confidence boosting game for quite a few of our players.

What's a bunch of sad sacks

We are winning and winning well

Regardless of the opposition, good teams always take an opportunity for a kill, and this is wonderful for our confidence.

Stop worrying about the opposition and enjoy it. It might be the best win we have all year.

Given the weight of possession, and the almost witches-hats-esque team the dogs have on the park, seven goals in a half isn't that great, really. But the longer this goes, the more practice we're getting moving the ball inside fifty with purpose and with good foot skills. Still some pretty wonky entries, but there were a few that quarter that were lovely to watch.

JKH still looks a bit rusty, but is working his way into it. Great effort on the deck to get the ball to Frost for that goal.

Salem and Toumpas (and the defence as a whole) will be getting a lot of confidence from this.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
