Too kind for my liking. The final Bulldogs score is far more accurate.

I was my understanding the raised foot in a marking situation was permitted so the person going for the mark with their arms raised could protect their body. Raised foot or leg but not a kick. It could be argued that Greene's was a handball receive not a marking attempt and he wasn't under any excessive physical danger that would justify raising his foot to head height. To me it looked like he wanted to disable the opponent's ability to tackle and the foot impact was intentional, almost a kicking action.

I swear it was a "rule of the week" a while back (I mean 10 years or more ago) when an Essendon player was called out for continually doing it - may have been Dustin Fletcher though can't be sure. After a while it was just forgotten though and now players get away with it all the time. Players shouldn't be able to stick their foot out like that but the AFL let's them get away with it so to suspend Greene would be ridiculous.

Tonight's result now makes it highly unlikely we'll be playing in Melbourne week 1 finals if we make it.

That should be just fine for any Demon supporter.

Who cares where we play as long as we get in.

Exactly, could not give a fig if we played on the bloody moon! We haven't played finals in over a decade and it's crucial to our young list's development that we experience a finals match this year, regardless of where it happens.

In fact, isn't our away record just as good as our home record this year? We hold no fears playing interstate yet regularly forget to turn up at home.

Only have ourselves to blame for that. If we lose tomorrow we won't have the concern of playing an away final anyway.

Tim Watson still campaigning for Greene to be suspended. 

While Tim's at it, maybe he can campaign Hird and the EFC to release all the documents

I hate Greene. Obviously deranged person.

Is Stringer the most overrated player in the AFL? The Package !!!  FFS !!! 

The commentary was appalling. Especially  McAveney ... his demented growls "the Bont" are just pathetic. Hopefully it's his last season.

Geelong one win out of three is possible. They play tiges and gws and if Sydney win all three we could play the cats. 

Crazy season plenty to play out

He has really fallen away from his form of a few seasons ago.

He was average last year too, even got dropped at one stage if i recall correctly.

Ahh, Tim, the moral crusader... As long as it doesn't have anything to do with his own club.

What a sad, little man.

Worse, using his media platform to defend those who used his son like a guinea pig in a pharmacological experiment. Father of the year type stuff, that.

What has happened to Libba? 10 touches and zero clearances. I used to rate him up there with Viney

Dogs big loss puts the whole situation in perspective. Five teams now- Essendon, Dogs, St Kilda, West Coast, and the might unstoppable heroic ad worthy Demons.

In effect they are all on the same starting line and whichever two have the best results of their remaining games, they will be in finals.

As for the structure of the 8, it wouldn't be so bad to play a wobbly Port, then come home for a semi-final against Richmond at the 'G.

Of course, that's assuming Richmond don't implode when it counts, as they so love to do. In which case we'd be a shot to play a magical elimination final in an effort to make it 4 from 4 lost elimination finals under Hardwick.

Geelong 0 wins from 3 is also possible! Imagine if they lose Danger, they would not win another game. Tiges should have them covered this week!

Quote of the night from Taylor (mind you) re Shaw, making a great coach, as "being one of the game's great thinkers and tacticians".

Right up there with D Trump's "greatest stupidity" statements.

How the hell does Footscray do it?

 20 frees to 11, despite 10% less disposals.

The umpires were clearly influenced by a crowd containing only one side's supporters( as in Perth).

It was disgraceful the way every 50:50 went to the Dogs, and they could tackle wherever they liked, and hold the ball all day.

It won them the 2016 GF, and it's been going on for years.

Unfortunately the Demons rarely have a stadium with no opposition supporters,even with Sydney and Brisbane on the MCG.

Want to get in   But,   do not want to get in because others played poorly,   I want the Dees in the 8  because we played well,

If / when we get in   I Want a side that has a red hot go,   don't care if we might lose a final,  but to be out there as training cones would be a real insult,  come on Dees  prove the earlier result against the sainters  was not an aberration, but the insight to the next few years

 

Go Dees

Nothing wrong with Greene's 'indiscretion'. 

It's not his fault the player is one of the shortest in the league who was in a squat position.  Anyone else and it would have been to the chest. 

He is being maligned for his past.  The umpires missed a heap of free kicks to him then report him based on crowd hysteria.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    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.
