Dogs have almost no traditional football structure, just 15 great competitive footballers of varying height, and a couple of battlers who do a job.

5 years ago there side would have looked ridiculous.

We can win on Sunday if we outwork.

Interesting comment, shades of John Northey 1987???

A fair result. The umpires not doing Australian rules any favours. It would have stuck in my claw if the dogs had won it. Ugly mauls and nonsensical umpiring never more evident than in this game. Well done AFL, you are bastardising the game.

Moonman to say Greater Western Coorporate deserve anything is a Farce. The AFL in its greed have decreed that expansion no matter how ragged and how esoteric it is in Distributive suburbia ( I mean Gretaer Western Sydney???) Absurd , plenty of history there eh?? When they win in a year or two, will anyone seriously doubt that the AFL are gulity of comprimising the competition?? I mean seriously whi gives a fat rats Clacker about GWS??

are there that many?

Remember the Orange bananas as the rent a cheer squad at the MCG a few years back. It would be an hilarious memory except that they thrashed us despite MFC being the odds on favourites

As an earlier poster mentioned the Giants still have some serious talent to return...........

Bulldogs inaccurate kicking cost them big time. Lao what the hell was that kick by Dunkley in the final term? It looked like a combination of a shot for goal and a pass. Im sorry I have defended this man and has said how he played his biggest game on the most important day but Tom Boyd has to start coming under some scrutiny for his games. Not like Watts did because that is just to extreme, 

But there was a point in the game tonight where Ward just ran past him and Boyd just stopped running and as for that last shot at goal where he shanked it my god. 

Then you see Murphy is is 34, coming back on a knee re construction and manages to burn off a young GWS kid and pass the ball beautifully. 

But GWS are a very tall team with some big targets and a very fast midfield. Anyway it was a great game to watch.

Seriously, this BT wandering around the room after the match thing irritates me no end. I'm waiting for him to soap up Mummy's back in the shower. Well, not really, but you get my drift...

As good as Murphy was, he should have been pinged that time for running too far without bouncing the ball.

Not the umpires fault they have to adjudicate stupid rules and "interpretations"

Expand  

They can adjudicate however they like, as long as it's consistent over the course of a game. If they're tough on deliberates for one team early in the game, they have to carry that through the game. If they were at least consistent, it would be much less of a problem.

Toby Greene must get 4 weeks for that deliberate round arm face punch tonight v. the Bulldogs.

The only reason he didn't shatter his opponents mandible was because he got him flush in the mouth, across the lips and teeth.

It was in a different league to the face to face jumper punches of Lewis and Hogan, who were dealt with too harshly by the MRP.

The arrogant little Cousins look -a- like has been warned, but took no heed.

The fact that the victim only received a cut lip is irrelevant. It was vicious, and much more likely to cause severe injury than the misdemeanours of Vince, Hogan or Lewis.

Surprised to see Footscray, who have enjoyed armchair rides from the umps for as long as I can remember, get robbed tonight.

The 50 m against Easton Wood to give Patton a shot right in front in Q4 was blatantly unfair.

Wood was watching the ump, waiting for him to shout "play on!". The ump gave Patton an eternity, then yelled " move it on !". Wood thought it was "play on," and a ridiculous, match losing goal was conceded.

There was also a blatant deliberate o.o.b.  by Greene towards the end, which the ump didn't pay, despite being very severe on deliberate calls all night prior to that.

Few thoughts on the game. 

Greene should get a week no more, ball is there to be spoilt, it's not behind play, yes it was late -free kick and 50 m I think that's fair.

Why do the AFL field umpires not collaborate with the boundary line umpires to make deliberate OOB  decisions? There were two clear incidents where deliberate should have been paid and umpire had said "couldn't see" and "it came of someone else" the boundary umpire was right there! 

Umpires are atrocious in general ATM and it's clearly not their fault but they are looking like the idiots because their bosses have no idea .I hope it was the downfield umpire that called the dangerous tackle against mummy because it looked like the umpire in the centre called for a ball up then after he realised libba was groggy then paid the free.  Almost MRP like in that if u injure a player it's a free if not play on.

There was a incident last week where JKH marked in the middle and I think it was grimes hit him late slightly high and JKH sprung up and played on. I'm thinking if he stays down he gets 50m. The dogs players do it, should we ?

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
