One of the key reasons structured defensive footy like the Eagles' doesn't win in 2016, is because teams are moving the ball so quickly. The Eagles can't set up their defensive structures.

The Dogs fast approaching Selwood levels of ducking and dropping at the knees for free kicks in this game. Disgusting. Think they've won the last 4 free kicks from "high" tackles, convenient.

I thought they made a big show a couple of seasons ago of saying they were going to fine players or award free kicks for staging. Whatever happened to that?

Wait for it when we do our first obvious stage. I think we are the most paid against for deliberate out of bounds. Some of them have been absolute shockers.

The guy has a shocking attitude. Came in full view in last years final versus North Melbourne. The bloke wasn't even trying.

Jetta looks a shadow of his best days at the Swans.

Watch Everitt at about the 25 minute mark of the last quarter. Drops his third simple mark for the quarter, doesn't chase or put pressure on and then puts up his hand as if to say sorry.

If Bolton is fair dinkum he is out next week.

Dear oh dear, we have sold them a lemon! :roos:

Their supporters are waking up to it too.They're not too happy with their boom recruits Howe and Treloar.

Given the players they're now missing, not sure he can do much more than he's doing. The group does look disillusioned though.

Have the Bulldogs been outside this year?

Nope. Next week the Doggies will look at the sun, get scared that something so big and bright could exist, and lose.

Defender had his head ripped off, nothing.

Thompson grabbed the ball, tackled by two straight away - holding the ball.

Stringer runs with the ball, tackled, ball dropped - play on.

20-5 dogs way, the crows captain should approach the umpires at the break and have a quiet word to them and ask what odds they got on tonight's game.

Blatantly against the crows tonight.

Adelaide have had a shocking run this year, but how many years have they got a dream run with the umps over in SA? The answer is many.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
