Big shock at selection tonight with Jake Stringer dropped to the VFL by the Doggies.  Bold move.

What has he done to deserve that?

The real question SWYL is what has he not done!

Dermott Brereton was scathing:  “He is plenty big to rough it up with anyone … (Instead) he runs to the drop of the ball and within two seconds of the ball on its flight path being about to drop, he pulls out of the contest and wants to crumb it...“He’s a powerful beast but to me he’s looking for maximum reward from minimum effort and minimum contact to him...“He’s brave but at the moment he is wanting to play his footy without suffering any body punishment.”

When given the opportunity Beveridge didn't disagree with Dermott's comments.  

From AA to VFL - some fall from grace!  Albeit temporary I'm sure.

Got to give it to the Bulldogs to have the courage to make that call.

Ahh he has been dropped. Fair and square. I thought he must have done something off field. 

I have heard that Brereton quote on SEN but wasn't aware who it referred to. (I am not in the country right now)

bit of a worry for the Dogs...

Hopefully we can meet them in a few weeks!!


But doesn't the package always deliver?

BT & Darcy have been shoving that down our throats all year........:ph34r:

 

 

Well it probably helps they are playing essendon. But highlighted on some footy shows last week they showed him not wanting to go in for the ball and just waiting for the easy handball over the top. He also mis read the ball and fumbled it. I guess they want him right for the finals. 

Geez I hope sydney thrash nth. Just to reduce there percentage and have Brad Scott nervous for a week.

Just saw Brad Hill totally squib a contest.  Gibson looked at him in total disbelief.

Was terrible, he actually ran away from the drop of the ball.

WC looking like they might give em a bath tonight. Must be the same inexperienced team from a few weeks ago.


What a feral crowd, I wonder how many women have been punched in the crowd tonight.

Honestly, I dont care about the result. Hawthorn will get assistance by travelling in week 1 and not having to play one game in a month from the two byes OR Some games including a prelim at the MCG isn't a bad thing.

Isn't that the postman? Postman Pat delivers the package suddenly has a whole new meaning ...

Guess the Hawks haven't shown up again, which we've been reminded all week is the only reason we were able to beat them a few weeks ago.

Seems like it's becoming a recurring problem for the Dawks.

Gee amazing how average the Dorks look since we burst their 9 game bubble! Not that I am happy with this since I put a heap on them to win the flag when they looked like a monty to do it, but that was before we beat them. 

When is the last time You saw Burgoyne make 6 or more clangers. Strange performance by the Dorks. Amazing what pressure does to even great players.

Whorethorn getting beaten keeps GW$ hungry next week...

If anyone is to care about that GWS v NTH came then it would mean we've beaten Geelong, and so they'll be hungry regardless of Hawthorn and will be playing to overtake the Cats.

Edited by johndemons

Must be impossible for the umpires tonight. Eagles over there must get lots of free kicks but that means not giving free kicks to hawthorn! It's a wonder they aren't all in the fetal position repeating that they don't know who to favour...

GW$ getting a top 4 spot has nothing to do with us. 

Whorethorn's % is the weakness

Hawthorn are ahead of GWS by 8 points. Are you predicting Collingwood to beat them and GWS caring about making 3rd instead of just 4?

Edited by johndemons

King and Healy heaping praise on Melbourne tonight, essentially crediting our team for setting the blueprint on how to defeat Hawthorn. Provided identical examples of clearances the Eagles have taken directly from our win.

Once again we were ahead of the game and our footy department has worked out an opposition team that others haven't. A bit like Roos working out how to destroy Hardwick's systems from the very first match.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
