It's more that he had trade value. What will they get for him this year now?

A lot less. Adelaide had talent to deal. 

Aah well its Carlscum. I have less than zero sympathy.

    Disagree, mate, but each to their own.

    As for Carlton, they're playing a side as young as our blokes, but are nowhere. It shows the gulf between our list and Carlton's and we're not even challenging for the top 4. I'll say it again. Carlton are in big trouble.

    They are nowhere near as bad as we were a few coaches back at least they have a couple players who can play the game. I don't think there future will be awful but they will need so complete some cracking trades/drafting recruiting 

    Cripps, Murph, Gibbs and Docherty all need to be there a long time. They need Simpson to play forever and as an outsider hbf.

    I love Weitering, think Marchbank, Plowman, Silvagni, Petrovski-Seaton and Curnow will be players.

    What they are desperate more than anything for is:

    FF:      Garlett.    Kennedy.     Betts

    And that Casboult would be their only goal scorer. Ah well. Let's hope they still lose by 100 points.

    Commentators were talking Rowe up 

    Must be over that terrible concussion

    One question I would love answered for tonight's game is;

    who has the bigger head - Ollie Wines or Charlie Dixon?

    He was wasteful tonight, but is Paddy Cripps gettable? Imagine Oliver and Cripps playing in the same side. Nah, I'll take Weitering for one of our KPB posts. ;)

    You'd prefer Marchbank to Weitering?

    Marchbank is a defender..... I assumed when you mentioned 'our KPB possies' I'd take him over Oscar.

    Weitering is a different cat. Anywhere on the ground for that kid I reckon. I hope Carlton develop him well enough that when he joins the team he grew up supporting there's a flag for him.

    Yeah, I'd play Weitering back though. Beautiful reader of the play. Good decision maker, neat skills and strong one on one. Come home, Jakey boy.

    Not being able to put Carlton to the sword might effect us later this year in the run to finals. We need a percentage boost and should've beat up on them. They're a poor team going nowhere fast. Port are decent but will finish middle of the ladder again as I don't think they will sustain their intensity all season.

    Our percentage will be solid most of the year, I reckon. It's all about wins for us. Get 12+ wins and we should make the finals. That's it.

    I wish we played the team the Blues put out tonight because it was far weaker than the team we played.

    I think Carlton are gearing themselves for another healthy trade/draft period.

    Love the return of the collar on the Dogs' jumpers. 

    And how much of a dead ringer of Raphael Nadal is the young tall forward for Brisbane?! Spooky

  • Quote

    Dogs playing like us at the minute - dominating the game but can't hit the scoreboard.  Lions have barely gone forward but have kicked 2 goals.

    I hope Rockliff leaves Brisbane. They are going to be a seriously good side in 3 years time. Their KP stocks are already scary and McLuggage joins Beams, Zorko and Rockliff as one of the best starting midfields in the league, supported by an in form Stefan Martin.

    Lucky they got that priority pick last year.

    The AFL can't afford them to be down for much longer.

    Brayshaw was pretty much a PP. I don't have a problem with Brisbane getting assistance. I just hope they don't interrupt our window. Rockliff leaving and maybe even Schache would be handy.

    Wow The Bears are 9.0

    wish we had kicked like that 2 weeks ago!!

    Lions doing a cats (appropriate) and Dogs doing a demon with those kicks on goal

  • Quote

    The Bulldogs look ordinary today and they're not bringing that same pressure as last year, but Brisbane are going to be something. The defensive structures are superb, both through the middle of the ground, and their defensive zone.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
