Everything about Seven's AFL coverage is an embaRrassment. Ten can't get the rights back soon enough.

    With BT fawning over 'The Total Package' Lex Luger and Darcy loving every minute of his old side playing tonight it's not surprising the Lions aren't getting a mention.

    Stringer is the best player we have seen according to channel 7 since ummh ohnyes Thursday night and Cyril's few cameos. Supetlative overload at 7. Gee I hope they interview the package post game!

    Literally the only defence is that they had the most boring game of the year on their hands and had to do everything in their power to make it interesting.

    They only succeeded at turning viewers off though.

    I'd hate to be the one who cleans up in their box after the game... the mess left after that wankoff fest would be enormous.

    The Dogs kicked as many goals in a quarter as we've kicked in our past 2 games against Geelong.

    Against Brisbane... let's keep it in perspective.

    We'll struggle tomorrow, no doubt. Hopefully not as badly as we've struggled in recent history.

    Actually don't mind watching the Bulldogs play

    Good young side, exciting gameplan, and they didn't beat us this year

    Who we struggled against last year. It'll be interesting to see how we fair against them at the G, they tend to pick up in form in the latter stages of seasons.

    Our midfield is much improved over the last time we went down to the cattery, the Cats have lost Duncan, Bartel and Kelly to injury, so it'll be interesting to see what we can do. Even if we do continually get it forward tomorrow we'll probably be bombing it to no one. Have to get goals out of Vince, Jones and Watts

    It'll definitely be time for the razors if we lose to Brisbane this year. They are absolutely rancid.

    On current form, we'll struggle to even beat Carlton. They've basically been told "just take the risks and wear the mistakes", and funnily enough it seems to be paying off.

    do you realise we beat the dogs easily a few weeks ago?

    FMD there is some insane whinging going on at the moment

    We flogged them by 39 points, but apparently it doesn't count cos it was us that did it.

    It's funny the fawning going on over Boyd/Stringer. One's shown nothing and the other has proven himself countless times, yet 7 are painting them as some kind of unstoppable forward line duo. Bizarre.

    Meanwhile, Hogan kicked 5 last week and it barely got a mention by any of the media. The Bulldogs fans on BF are fornicating themselves by calling Stringer vastly superior to Hogan. Gee whiz, he's only got 30 more games under his belt.

    Penis envy. They can't be happy with their lot but need to feel better by trying to compare him to Hogan.

    Insane whinging? That's a bit of stretch for a small observation

    It was hard not to notice the quality of Stef Martins ruck work. He also shows some aggression that was never obvious when he was with us.

    Bugger it.

  • Quote

    Fitzpatrick you mean.

    Yes. Mea culpa.

    Jake stringer v Jesse Hogan. Who will have the better career?

    Only time will tell but I would predict Hogan by a long shot.

  • Quote

    The incredible fall from grace by Port this year could perhaps raise questions as to whether there was perhaps "something unusual" they had been taking last year??

    Could also be the Walsh factor

    let's get stef back

    how long is his contract at the lions?

    Was a Neeld issue wasn't it, why he left?

  • Quote

    Lobbe injured, Schulz and Westhoff horrifically out of form, a lot of mids injured and next tier not stepping up.

    Very reliant upon Gray, Wines, Wingard and Boak

    Is Schulz out of contract at the end of the year? Might be a handy get to play beside Hulk.

    I'm dreaming, I know, but it's all I have left when I think about potential free agents.

    Listening to the radio this morning it was interesting to hear the commentators making excuses for GWS because of their injuries. I've heard much the same about Gold Coast. Are we excused if we have a bad day today?

    GWS and Gold Coast get preferential treatment when it comes to media excuses, because they only exist due to broadcast and media demands. They have no interest in making excuses for us because they're probably eyeing us off for expansion/relocation in 7 years time (broadcast rights agreement after the next).

    They were very quick to excuse the likely fall of GWS due to losing Mumford. That became the media line across every platform.

    Plus, he only played bad yesterday because he found out just before the game his wife was in hospital

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
