Maybe Spargo can take our kick outs. Worked for the Dogs.

Maggots conned by Cox .... clearly touched in the marking contest.

Goal.

Dogs severely lacking  forward marking power.

I hate Cox

Unfortunately big cox stood up when called upon.  Was he given the little blue pills at the ¾ time break?

On a perfect night for football, both of these pretenders fail to trouble the scorers. Get out of our way you wastes of space


Doggies wont get close to the 8.    Lack of talent all over the ground, no AFL standard ruckmen,  no depth, carried by McRae and Bontempelli.

Bulldogs weren't playing their frenetic 'chaos' style that has served them so well.

In the first half, both were trying to play the WCE 'control and possession', kick/mark game which the pies used very well to beat tigers a few weeks ago. 

Neither were very good at the WCE style nor confident playing it and spent the first half kick/mark between the 50m arcs. They seemed unaware of the WCE bit that when you get the ball in your fwd half you switch and go fast to fwds set plays/leads.  Both teams were terribly slow going fwd, went backwards and it was terrible to watch.

Neither has sorted out its game plan or implementing it consistently, so will be vulnerable for teams to exploit.  Teams like us, I hope:)

Happy to see Brisbane go 5-0 by knocking off Dons today and Pies next week. Can they do it?

I really don’t get people worrying about how the results of other games are going to help our cause at this stage of the season. Being 15th or 16th after round 4 means Jack Shyzen.

Our job ATM is to string some wins together and not worry about the others.

Of course the bolded bit is right for the actual team,  But as the weeks go by (4 is maybe the minimum) it is of increasing interest to supporters to worry (or rather speculate/hope) about the others. If the other teams initially favoured to be top 8 were all at 4-0 and we were at 1-3 then probably it's not worth hoping for results in other matches (so let your personal hatreds rip), but it certainly helps us recover our position relative to them if the other supposedly top teams are also losing games.

I found the use of Daniels on the last line interesting but on balance I thought that it almost cost them the game. There were multiple occasions when he was isolated with De Goey who luckily for the Bulldogs missed most of his shots on goal.

More particularly however I thought it robbed the Dogs of a key playmaker in the forward half. The Dogs forward delivery was lamentable.

Hard to see them doing much damage if they continue the stop start play of last evening.

Collingwood were saved by Cox...I don't think they will be coming after the Weid. Comments about Moore being "almost elite" were cringeworthy.

Catching up on the game this morning. The filth look extremely getable right now! 

Bring on QB is all I have to say!

it would have been a very lonely time over the last fifty years if you were only interested in the MFC.

As Sue points out also it is the relative positions that count. I cannot recall MFC ever being in a position where it made finals in a demonstrative manner. We have always been last minute Charlies on the few occasions we have graced the grass in September

Come on brisbane beat those bummers today. That would be great

It is a shame the dogs couldn't get over the line last night. In that final term collingwood just found more space and there forward line was more open than the doggies. 

Hope nth lose again tonight and stay on the bottom.

We've been front runners most of that time.  Good when the going is good...   weak when things aren't going for us.  We would pack up shop, too often, too early.

Dangerfield has dropped a GWS player well off the ball. Think it was the same player Dusty dropped last week.

 

Someone needs to check the Ess drink bottles... actually check Brisbane's too !!!

They are well below their best. But they have winners and xfactor across the ground. They are most vulnerable down back, where they are still quite solid. Not sure how much longer Howe lasts though. He squibs many a kick coming out of defense. Great as an intercept mark. But those around him make him look better than he is. He's lucky his teammates bail him out.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
