    Now that Collingwood have been reduced to their constituent parts so to speak I realise that it's their fan base and Eddie that makes me loath them, not so much the guys running around in black & white stripes. 

    That's okay Rab. Any reason is good enough to hate C'wood. You don't need to justify it. It doesn't even have to make sense. Just make sure you hate them, and all is well.

    Perhaps the AFL should add the wall of sound one hears in big international soccer games. Like the constant drone and blaring trumpets and other noisome instruments? They can add big cheers when a goal is scored.

    You're right. I'm overthinking it.

    Nope - flicked on to the racing channel, had dinner with a few mates, and watched a few minutes from time to time. Maybe it’s the lack of a crowd but never been so underwhelmed by the start of a season. Hope our game vs Eagles is better.

    Hearing that the pies won’t be singing the song is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard. By all means don’t lock arms (even though you’ve been doing it all night anyway with tackling) but for crying out loud every stand around and sing the bloody song. 

    If the Dees win on Sunday and don’t sing the song I’ll be filthy. 

    EDIT they sung it after all ?‍♂️

    Same, Spalding, we’ve all had a few distractions the last few weeks, understandable really.

    What a complete joke. There is still tackling and body contact in this sport ( although no where hard enough for what we have been used to ) but when they kick a goal they elbow tap one another and after the game they lightly tapped one another with fists. Am I seeing things here ? What an absolute f#^%@$g joke. Monty pythom could not have scripted anything like this.

    Some great meltdowns on the Doggies forum.

    For anyone thinking they arent going to get into the AFL this season due to the current corona climate ,  just wait til our boys are out there on Sunday. Thats when the season really begins.

    The Bulldogs were scared of their own shadows tonight. The coaching team will have some horrific footage to sort through post game.

    Pies were ok. Grundy was a mountain, and others did some ok things but I wan't blown away by them either, as their opponent was abysmal.

    They are probably requested to do that, and it’s probably just as much about sending a message of responsible contact to viewers, as it is for their own benefit.

    Yes it appeared the Doggies listened to much to the pre season hype on them and just thought turning up would be enough. Need to turn that lack of aggression around real quick.

    I know this is swearing in church, but I rate Buckley, he has definitely brought on some players. Supporters are also appalling, but that said I hate Weagle, Crow and Essendon (in that order) supporters more... what to do...

    so far, i don't mind the lack of crowd noise; muting the dreadful commentary from the ch 7 crew would help raise enjoyment levels, but i'm enjoying hearing the 'sounds of the game' sans audience participation

    thought the dogs would be far, far better than that - they completely looked incapable of winning contested footy, not what i expected at all

    they're going to have to do well to recover their season - in what's already a truncated year that is likely to be further reduced, that's the sort of hammering you really can't afford to have

    grundy showed once again why he's the second best ruckman in the game; bad kicking is bad football :P

    Blues had 4 first round picks run out tonight.... f k me!

    Im watching the league already. 

    Do you mean four number 1 picks?  I still find it hilarious that the blues have four on their list and another they traded away, but people still think WE got too many top picks.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
