Would expect the Dogs to withdraw a couple at least from today's game as insurance. Six day break and an injured Roughead.

Would think Minson or Campbell will come out. Maybe Jong or another mid as well.

 

At least one of the rucks i would have thought, it really depends how much they think playing today would set them back next weekend, obviously they'd love to win today and next week as well

Bloody hope so. I reckon the win last night would have given the young pups today an extra ticker.

Will be a very close game today.

Man I can't tell you how excited I am for this game. My brother in 10 years of football has never played in a Grand Final, and nothing on this level. He is absolutely beaming with anticipation (which is rare for him, he's usually very humble and docile off the field) Whatever the result it's gonna be a huge day!

Who is your brother?

All those weeks of traipsing down to Casey. 

All that time spent walking round the outer.

All those match day reports from KC and the D'landers. 

All those egg and bacon rolls.

It all comes down to this......

BREAKING NEWS: Salem will NOT be playing in today's game.

Hope he's ok. He will be missed, but I'm also kind of glad that he's not being put at further risk of aggravating last week's injury.

The Dogs went in against Collingwood massive underdogs with the bookies, much like their senior side over the last 3 weeks.

Unfortunately I expect the Dogs will run over the top of Scorps, the Dogs were just clinical last week against Collingwood.

Ugh! Got friends coming over to show off their new baby at 2.00 ?

Delayed recording it is. To check scores or not? Hmm

Can't they text you a photo like normal people. And then you have to say 'what a beautiful baby' even if it looks like it stepped out of Deliverance.

Well I got that wrong. We lose Salem and they go in as selected. They are stronger than the team that beat the Pies last week by 20 goals. This will be tough.

ABC commentators have already nailed their masts to the wall - backing Bulldogs big time, complete with Gia in the box.

More hipster sheep like behaviour then? Bulldogs should have 60000 members if this many people like them.

    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.
