Recommended Posts

Yaawwwn.

As a relative newbie to DL, but a fanatic nonetheless, the childish [censored]-for-tat on some threads are getting reeeally boring. I'm looking at you picket and stuie amongst others.

I come on here to observe and engage in footy discussion on the 'team we love', not schoolyard dummy spits and d**k waving!!

Can't ya'll grow up and play nice? 

We're all here with the same passion.

 GO DEES. Take it right up to the Dogs and do us proud this week.

There is an awesome feature called the "ignore" function. Let's you hide any posts from an individual, I think this will come in handy.

Cheers Cards, I'll definitely check it out!

I've admitted it was a wrong call.

Worst post of the year? There's some serious contenders I need to beat. :blink:

Not even in the top 500 of worst posts. And i'm being serious,

A couple interesting (?) of posts from the Dogs fan forum (woof.net.au):

Good to see Salem back for the Dees. Always good to have someone to truly hate. {reason]  Watch him closely sometime. He's very mouthy.

I still reckon Melbourne will regret giving pick 2 ( Josh Kelly) for him and Tyson

I'm sick of seeing Adcock in the team. He's a liability and I fear it's a Bevo love in that has him selected each week. I want Webb or Honey in the team.

lol Salem of all people. They must be unfamiliar with the stylings of Dunn, Bugg, Kent and Jones.

Viney is as lippy as they come on the field haha! 

I still think Tyson is as good as Josh Kelly on his own, especially given he's in pretty good form at the moment, and Salem is a very solid best 22 walk up start with the talent to be a genuine A grader, i've always been very comfy with that trade!

Jacko, Demonland is a microcosm of society, there are all types here. Some suggest the ignore feature but I prefer to skim some posters. Often the worst culprits have something interesting to say. As in society we learn to deal with the idiots, the wankers and the pedants (like me). One thing is certain, we all love our team, we simply do it differently.

I'm with you, read some of the posts, have a good laugh, and move on, unfortunately/fortunately there are all types on here, some posters just need to finally realise this and not read what they don't agree with, unless of course they can come up with a reasonable counter argument rather than just name calling....i wish.....my problem, I defend myself when attacked, misquoted, denigrated or lied about, also have the chutzpah to fess up when wrong, unlike some

The Dogs are missing Murphy, Johanissen, Suckling, Koby Stevens, Tom Boyd and Adams. A big loss will be unacceptable.

Mate.

This is the Dees you're talking about.

No amount of opposition players missing will influence a result for us.

In fact, if anything we're worse off, such is our history against undermanned sides.

I was thinking the same thing SteveHermanDan.

A couple of the Dogs ins are average players who normally play like stars against us. Not interested in their ins and outs.

Imagine our back line without TMac, Garland, Jetta, Wagner and Omac and that's the Bulldogs backline right now

The Bulldogs are just getting away with an undermanned back half because the ball isn't going down there too often. Last week Adelaide only had 37 inside 50s (kicking 17 goals). The Bulldogs had 68. We had a whopping 75 against the Suns. In other words the Crows didn't get many opportunities to score but when they did, they did.

Watts was saying in an interview (over on the JV FS thread) that the Bulldogs are No. 1 in the league for contested possessions being +28. If we can even break even on the CP count this will put increased pressure on their backs.

Hopefully the most run coming out of the Bullies backline will be from the umpires bringing it back to the centre

Part of me is willing to accept that last game against the dogs was an aberration, something was clearly off with the boys and that was the first time I really noticed Nate Jones was hampered. He was bumped off the ball by Lin Jong, I kinda hope someone brings that up to him through the week!

This is the game where it all needs to click, it clicked for the second half last week and we showed (again) we can score quickly when we get a run on but the Dogs are a totally different kettle of fish the GC. 

Really looking forward to this game, both teams have points to prove and both don't shy away from the contest. It'll be interesting to see who we play on Stringer. 

That's a complex zoological species.

All the experts in all the papers (except Emma Quayle) have backed the Doggies! I love it when we start as "underdog" (because we never seem to win when we are favourites (e.g. Essendon and St Kilda))! I get a good feel about Sunday. ANB in for Kent otherwise no change warranted. Go Dees!

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J
