Pies very good, Dogs no so good.

Tiges arrogant and lairised, Carlton average & let off the hook.

 

The Pies have a strong side.  The only real weakness, apart from them only having the second-best ruck in the league, is their lack of a real tall forward.  Not that we have on either, but if you had to pick a weakness I'd be looking there.  Great medium/small forwards, but Cox isn't the answer for the FF spot.

doesn't need to be; just needs to be 6 foot 11 and kick straight! 

they've still got treloar and stephenson to come back in, and unfortunately for them their langdon looks like injury might curtail his career

pendlebury has been such a brilliant player for so long now

hard not to see them in the top four along with tiggas, meth coke, and gw$ - that sort of win against a potential finals team gives them a juicy percentage boost to start the season too

 

Here is a idea why don't the broadcasters use CGI and make a crowd for the tv audience

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.

Is this really going on? I haven’t seen anything from the two games so far. I’m guessing players have their own personalised water bottles out on the field as not to share. 


It never ceases to amaze me that the Dogs lost their elim final last year to GWS by 58 points - just 8 points less than our loss to WC in the prelim.

Dogs didn’t get a whisper from the media about their pathetic effort. Meanwhile the media labelled out performance a crime against humanity.

Dogs are overrated.

Dogs were just awful.  Bontempelli completely taken out of the game by Adams.  Johannisen  unsighted all night.  Macrea not much better.    If Wood and Keath weren't there to hold the defense together, it would have been even worse as a result. 

Bruce is overweight, and why they recruited him with Naughton, Lloyd and Schache there already is hard to understand.

They could splice in crowd scenes from the chariot race in Ben Hur.

Wagner or Gilbert and Sullivan

5 stack on random, at moment Eric Clapton, Don Mclean, Etta James, Roy Orbison, Frank Sinatra.

Best way to beat the dogs?

Put in a extensive amount of physical pressure on Bont and watch him go to water. His prelim last year was the same.

Bont is a good player, but until he deals with this, in no way should he be in the same discussion as Martin, Fyfe, Dangerfields of the game. 


Jacob Townsend anyone?

Was screaming for his recruitment and Essendon have landed a beauty for absolutely nothing.

Has everything you need in a Forward, can take a mark, kicks truely, applies tackling pressure.

Currently tearing Fremantle a new hole as we speak.

Can't believe people were so quick to dismiss him. #Insane

very similar in size and shape to fritsch, melksham tho?

he's had a very good first tho for sure

Can someone explain to me why Brendan Gale, Peggy O’Neill, and Eddie McGuire were not in attendance at their respective games but Alistair Clarkson was at today’s  game because he’s playing Freo next week.

Thats what you call taking the urine Clarko.

What purpose does a President have being there? Eddie gave his ticket away regardless.

Clarkson has a purpose so I don't see what the issue is here.

Hope our forwards are watching the frees being given in front of goals not to mention that if you are a forward you can throw the backman out of the way and not give a free.

Two or three that went the Bombers way decided this game


Can not get over how bad the AFL website .  Just wow.  The Match Centre is so bad

And to think of all the extra traffic they will be getting to see that mess.

I thought Clarkson being there was crap on the optics and didn’t need to be there given the current climate.

But  we’ll agree to disagree.

 

It seems Adelaide’s magnificent ex leader missed an opportunity to snatch the game in the dying moments. ??

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
