How good is finals footy?

Doggies need to convert, Weagles/Kennedy will make them pay.

ps what ever happened to chopping the arms rule? Stringer totally should have been paid a free for it.

    Agree cards, should have been a free for chopping, however if Boyd's kick wasn't so poor, then it wouldn't have been an issue.

    Danger for the Dogs that they may waste their early disposal dominance.

    I know he's young, but Boyd is very ordinary. Already cost the Bulldogs two goals.

    Why would Boyd have passed that????

    Cracking game so far, Dogs doing almost everything right. West Coast's only looked like scoring when the Dogs have turned it over, otherwise little fluency with their ball movement.

    Those early misses from the Dogs could come back to haunt them though, should be 5 goals up already.

    Well Kennedy did make them pay but fark me how much fun are the Dogs to watch?! Every single game they put in at a level 90% of teams can't match.

    Will the injuries and lack of match fitness tell at the end of each qtr?

    Weagles now missing.

    Come on Dogs! Only team in the 8 I could stand seeing win it.

    Boyd is useless...

    No good at ground level but he's getting to an enormous number of contests and he's bringing the ball to ground - West Coast dominate on the back of intercept marks from players like McGovern and Barrass so he's actually making a significant contribution so far in the air.

    Easton Wood off the ground getting assessed...huge. Lycett too but that's less of a loss for West Coast than Wood would be for the Dogs.

    Fair Comment. I am being Harsh but they took a huge risk with him

    Umpires are having trouble getting involved but they will come home with  a wet sail.

    Gosh dang, I forgot this was on.  Stupid shift work makes me lose all track of what day it is.  Missed the whole first quarter!

    I'd just go with stupid Thursday Night footy. Not a fan of it! Can't they just stick with Friday-Sunday football?

    Luke Darcy commentating tonight is going to make it a very long night!

    Boyd is useless. 

    Early Mark Jamar-esque.

    If he can get his confidence up Boyd will be a good player. For a supposed chit truck he should have 3 goals so far.

    Come on doggies, best these flogs.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
