    Dogs list is unbelievable.

    They're the most well balanced list within the AFL surely with their players and game style perfectly suited to modern day footy.

    With the amount of MFC listed players we have, it's clear we're still a way off. 

    Absolutely must inject some more speed and kicking skills to our list over the next few drafts. 

    And they can do no wrong in the umpires eyes. Same things Casey are penalised for, dogs can get away with, countless times

    Unlike some of you guys, I reckon the list managers would use more than 30 minutes of bad football to make their decisions going forward. These same guys are the ones who got Casey to a GF in the first place. Admittedly this kind of fade out is all too familiar.

    Sylvia this match is THE match.

    If you are outscored in the premiership quarter by your opponent 8 to zip and you don't think you have problems then as a club....you have problems.

    You could play this match with the same lists 10 times and The Doggies would win it 10 times. List still needs a major clean up if the seniors are ever to impact and make finals

    We had very few injuries this year. Our depth wasn't tested much so we felt reasonably comfortable with what we did see at AFL level at times.

    You'd be mad not to use it though. It's pretty bloody damning.

    There's 30 minutes of bad football and there's a lack of effort in a Grand Final. Astonishing really.

    Any chance of Spence taking a mark? Very limited player

    I know you're being rhetorical here CF

    ANB has regressed significantly.

    I heard he turned up for preseason in ordinary shape. Will need to extract the digit

    Oliver, Weideman (although he needs to get a lot stronger and fitter) and Joel Smith. That's the only promise out there from today's game as far as I can see. Anyone else?

    I question allowing our tv coverage of the 1/4 & 3/4 time huddles. Footscray declined. I know it's revisionist but small things matter.

    I'll stay to the end, but this is incredibly disappointing. 

    I agree with the comments about outside speed, and we've been killed in the ruck.

     

    Hard not to be a bit worried

    It's very very sad, but Trengove's actually too slow for VFL footy, let alone AFL. His footy brain lets him get away with it up to a point, but it's very stark.

    Kennedy won't be gone, but Grimes, Garland and Dunn should be. Trengove's finished as well. 

    I think this says a little bit about the Bulldogs game plan and ours. We're going to need quite a few more gears. It's like watching Melbourne being opened up.

    It's not the players!!! It's our game plan. 

    We have a superior list than Footscray at both VFL and AFL levels however we play an outdated game plan that gets exposed with the modern game.

    both the saints and dogs play a high pressure, quick game that makes us look slow. 

    Goodwin needs to look away from Roos structure and implement the clarkson plan

    Give the guy a full preseason before riding him off. He wasn't even running this time last year.

    its unfair to criticize him before a good pre season

    It's an interesting point.

    But we beat the Hawks... Not sure what that means for the game plan

    How did we beat this mob 2 weeks ago?

    The flat track at etihad plays right into Footscray's fast running game plan. 

    It also exposes our lack of outside speed and pace

    We don't have a superior list to The Dogs at AFL & VFL level. 

    Get your head out of the clouds...

    The MFC has got to stop over rating itself. Lots of players had their last game today.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
