If a team can beat West Coast they will win the premiership. Are strong all over the ground. Seem to just pick guns at will decade after decade. How do they do it? Evenness in the comp is a myth.

That first quarter West Coast played some unbelievable footy, it felt like I was at Optus prelim final day again. Richmond might be good enough to get back in this but if the Eagles get two home finals hard to see them not winning it again.

Liam Ryan OMG what we would do for a dynamite small forward like him. Absolute super star.

His marking is also a highlight, very talented.

What a match... both teams intent and intensity ...Tigers are jncredible.  Hope our blokes are watching / learning something

[Demon Dynasty 16,284]

Dusty unbelievable in this

[Demon Dynasty 16,284]

Match of the year but i haven't seen everything.  GF worthy

[Demon Disciple 11,189]

What a game. What a game.

Umpires gave Richmond a very good run after halftime, not that Jack would agree.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Two blatant deliberates against Richmond went ignored in the dying minutes. Not that I mind them winning given the state of the ladder, but still.

Happy to see the tigs win only because it puts the pies back to 5th spot. 

Still hope the dogs get up. Next week they play the crows which could decide 8th spot.

After watching the borefest that was Bris v Geel (Until last few minutes) - I decided to skip the WCE-RICH game. Mistake i guess, but meh, footy has been pretty garbage to watch this year on the whole

#freekickbulldogs in full effect today. Again.

[SaberFang 7,141]

As the live ladder stands, Bulldogs, Adelaide, Hawks & Port are all tied on 10 wins, meaning whoever wins + finishes with a higher percentage next week gets the 8th and final place in the finals.

Bulldogs play the Crows next week, Hawks play the Eagles, and Port finish the round vs Fremantle at AO. Currently, less than 2% separates all 4 teams.

Going to be an epic final round, even if we're not part of it.

I would give my left nut for us to play like the Bulldogs.

Young list who all crack in and are great to watch.

Im on the Doggies train, praying they make the 8.

Count me in Beetle.  Amazing what can happen when all 22 have a decent crack week after week and never throw the towel in.  Big difference though....they have players who can run and spread on the burst.  They have an extremely hard work ethic especially with players constantly looking to hit up on the lead.  They have marking forwards.  Their conversion is first class.  And they have the Bont!

Doggies hitting form at the right time. They've just about stitched up the final spot in the 8 with this win, barring an upset next week vs Adelaide.

Hawks/Port/Crows will all be hoping the Dogs lose that one.

[Return to Glory 7,846]

In terms of coaching nous, Leon Cameron makes Mark Neeld look like Norm Smith.

[pitmaster 3,146]

Free kicks Dogs 17 to Giants 5.

It is freakin unbelievable how the Dogs are cared for by the pond slime. Every bloody week.

Their skills are right up there with the best. Wish we could do what they do.

Watching the Ric WC game, I'm disappointed that it looks like N Riewoldt has chosen a media career. His analysis of the game is insiteful and superior to any former player commentator I've listened to. I'd be ecstatic to have him on our coaching panel. His understanding of the difference in game plans and his ability to communicate it is extremely impressive.

Great to see Roughy go out on a high:  kicked 4 goals already. 

Teammates making sure he has a good game.  Like it.

I suppose Dew is not a Prik like Clarko when he flooded back and prevented Fevola from kicking 1 last goal to hit 100

Ditto Pit.  Let's hope so...preferably in my lifetime!
