OMG the commentary is awful.  BT is just inane. Bruce whilst he knows his stuff, is past it.

    Can't the umps tell when a bloke has been bumped as he kicks it?  Everyone in the stadium saw it except him.

    Dogs currently doing what we can't do on Sunday - bomb it long to about 20 metres out.  They got lucky then with Bont kicking the goal, but the Giants are picking them off too easily.  We need to use it better.

    It is such a bad rule. It doesn't even stand for anything. 

    Defence is a legit part of footy (or was..)

    Bruce was right for once in his commentary - a bloke can spoil a ball deliberately out of bounds and get away with it, yet a bloke can get bumped and get pinged for deliberate.  It makes little sense.

    I know Boyd is against Momford, but geez he's soft.

    Finally a correct deliberate OOB decision.

    Thanks Gil for f'ing up our once great game

    BT orgasmic over Bont's handball - almost as good as a typical Oliver one.

    BT was fair dinkum dropped at birth, I reckon. 

    How did this guy even get a commentator gig in the first place?!

    There are now too many rules. 

    Patrick Smith said it this morning. 

    "Simplify the Rules"

    now when the whistle blows it is a gamble which way anything goes

    That "below knees" to GWS was actually "in the back" to the Dog who bent down to get the ball.

    Another absurd knee-jerk rule - this one I think by not the current knee jerk, Gil, but his predecessor jerk Vlad.

    Stringer is a long way off his best footy and has been for some time but Jesus he can just snatch things out of thin air.

    $cully, when the heat is really on, the hard stuff needed.. How often does he influence the game? And is BT on the $cully payroll?

    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.

    Spot on mate. The dogs just ...Go

    Bulldogs just have the knack of being at the fall of the ball. Irrespective of whether they or the other team fumbles there is someone racing past to pick it up

    By contrast Scully streaming forward props on the wet grass... the ball falls away from him and is picked up by a Dog and they are back down their end

    Talent wise GWS should be a mile in front but that Bulldog style somehow delivers

    Will Stevie J be in the GWS team by finals time? 

    No...he's a liability and has been since he got there despite all the junk we get from Cameron, Ling and co...

    ...and they didn't lose last year PF because he was out. He's been past it for a while now, will do the mercurial still, but how easy are the Dogs moving the ball out of defence! rest my case...

  • Quote

    There's a fair bit of talent on show ... dogs just swarm at the contest and are relentless.  GWS like to get the ball out and move the ball on their terms and against most other teams, it works. 

    Where we sit against these 2 teams is important.  We've got the effort, energy, application, attack on the ball & endeavour.  The difference is the poise & finishing skills.  

    I'd expect these 2 teams to get to the penultimate week of the season (along with the Crows & one other)

    Is a fair dinkum drop greater than a normal drop DAG?

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
