Have you seen a more gutless effort? Scared to attack when you’re 15 points down against a mediocre Collingwood. 

Weak as. 

During a week where they've been talking about the best 1-2 punch in the AFL, the question has to be asked:

Is there a worse 1-2 punch at the minute than Tom Boyd and Josh Schache?  Tom Hawkins and Stewart Crameri might give them a run for their money, but these two are just giant spuds.

    Good game from Lynden Dunn tonight, attacking the ball and doing things he wasn’t doing in his final season with us.

    I thought Schache showed just as much as Boyd ever has. Which is not much. (Excluding the worlds greatest ever finals campaign that he’ll dine out on forever. )

    Almost doubled their score from last week. I’d love to know what’s going on behind the scenes in Footscray.

    I was at this game tonight (builders’ night out!) and thought both teams looked ordinary. There was very little pressure, except in the 3Q when the Pies won the game. Collingwood do have some genuine talent, but I think the relentless pressure we bring, when we’re on, will account for them. Not sure what has happened with the Doggies - they were atrocious.

    Watched Sidebum tonight closely, has slowed down, but a very crafty footballer. D"wenty was cool, but has this strange habit of wanting to turn when he gets the ball.Lumberjack might go for a couple at least one anyway, but too nice to be playing for wobbles.

    Toby McLean shouldn't be playing AFL.  He's an out and out cheat.  If there's one positive from this game it's that the media are catching on and highlighting his BS.

    If we can't beat the Doggies next week, something is wrong. They were absolutely awful. Someone mentioned it above, but they did not take the game on at all, even when down with a 10 minutes remaining. If they play that rubbish, we will eat the alive.

    Collingwood didn't impress me too much either tbh, but clearly a better side than the Doggies atm.

    The Doggies have regressed badly in the space of the last 20 months. It’s one of the worst falls from grace we’ve seen in years.

    The Bulldogs won a flag on the back of four amazing games.

    They were never the best team.

    Bulldogs player development is appalling.

    Meanwhile ours is now looking world class.

    Brendan McCartney anyone?

    They've also made some strangle trade decisions in the past couple of years with Cloke, Crozier and Trengove to name a few. The jury is still very much out with Schache.

    Tom Boyd has won them a flag so all in all he was worth it but he's lost all interest now.

    Collingwood win the game by following one of its fundamentals after half time. They played in front and won the ball more often than not. It looked to me as if the Bulldogs were not scared to take the game on but didn't really have the will. The focus will definitely be on them next week as it was on Essendon after it lost to Carlton. Just another challenge that we will have to meet next week but there's another game to be won first.

    Hopefully the media might settle down a bit on the De Goey hype after 15 meaningless possessions.

    Ling was still even banging on about how the game changed when he went into the midfield..

    Talk of up to a Million  dollars for a repeat offender off the field and an overweight injury prone inconsistent player on the field.

    If he didn’t play for Collingwood it would be 500k - 600k max.

    The kid can play but he ain’t no Dusty or Danger yet

    Exemplifies why the Lions were only too happy for Schache to head home to his mum.  I bet she tucked him in last night with a “there, there sweetie. Don’t cry. Those big boys are just too mean!”

    To me, he has “I will stuff up again” written all over him. And he is a massive bath water consumer.

    In fairness they also had to play well enough to squeeze into the 8 first (which we haven’t done forever and a day)  

    But yes, a manic  finals campaign and Murphy aside a good injury run.

    It’d be nice to see the Saints shock those Toiges today.

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
