Bailey Smith is a ripper. Only 19 and already looking a gun midfielder. I was a fan in his draft year. That 2018 draft looks to be the best of the decade. Shame we opted out of the first round! 

Doggies looking good in first quarter. Delightful to see lots of niggle!

    Good game so far, high intensity and decent skills. Dogs need to start converting though.

    The pace of this game is incredible!! Come on Doggies, can’t stand Giants and the fake tough guy act.

    This is the level of intensity I expected of the Dees this year after all the "Hell And Back" stuff and offseason talk.

    Let's hope we bring it this week for the first time this year.

    You can have all the intensity in the world but one of these teams will lose tonight (or only get 2 points). I want us to smash teams every week but it just doesn’t happen (unless you’re MJ or coached by Fergie/Klopp).

    Just reckon intensity is one of the key elements we're lacking so far, which is disappointing given all the talk about the 'hurt' and 'fire in the belly' all offseason. Start bringing that consistently and it goes a long way towards smashing teams IMO.

    you can call it intensity I call it scrappy.... terrible spectacle except for the faux rough stuff in the first 15 minutes which had all the reality of world championship wrestling

    It's called run and pressure. Can understand if a Dees fan isn't familiar with it.

    Yeap but GWS have been “intense” and that is the lowest halftime score since year 1. As long as the intensity = scoreboard.

    Does this account for people taking up streaming services?

    90 per cent of statistics are wrong 40 percent of the time.

    They misdirected their inensity I reckon. Doggies focused more on pressure and running intensity whereas GWS were too sucked into the faux tough stuff.

    GWS now without Taranto, Whitfield, Kelly, Greene. Arguably their 4 best players. 

    add to that the usual dogs free kicks 14-6
     

    Gws are done

    Not sure mate. But i would be concerned at Ch 7. 
    lack of scoring is strangling the game...

    Dogs have really shot themselves in the foot here, game should be over but they've kept GWS in it.

    As an aside the highest rating AFL game in Sydney last year got 87,000 in Sydney to watch it.

    Brisbane 74,000

    It's not exactly killing it north of the border

    the average TV audience in Victoria for VFL is 25% higher than the average TV audience for AFL in NSW.

    It is not far short of the average viewing audience for the Swans.

    Why would media companies pay more for an almost stagnating audience in raw numbers and a declining audience in percentage numbers

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
