The constant booing by Port supporters is so annoying. Same as West Coast supporters.

The remind me of the Blue Oyster Cult song "The Subhuman".

    Well there you have it. 3/4 time and Port’s pressure rating has been elite.

    Officially no excuses for the turd sandwich served up last week.

    This!

    I’m really glad for the Port’s pressure. It leaves us with less than zero excuses.

    Usually yes, but I’m personally loving hearing any noise at the footy this year

    The Bulldogs in front of a hostile home crowd put in a very brave performance.

    Last week against the same side we did exactly the opposite.

    When do we get to look forward to regular top performances?

    Since 1964 the suffering continues.

    Why us?

    We beat Carlton by a few points.   The Dogs lost to them by 9 goals.

    Almost as if footy is an unpredictable sport   (except for Melbourne sucking since 1964, agreed there).

    Still can’t believe we picked Toumpas over Wines.  It haunts us.
     

    And again last night to see Jackson Macrae (who is an absolute star) deliver a 28 possessions game at 85% efficiency.  He was at pick 6. His under 18 year was exceptional where he showed his skill, evasiveness, goalkicking and ability to win the footy.

    Wines is exactly the type of player we don’t need. We have half a dozen of his type. And a month ago he was in a rut, just like Clarry is now. Clarry’s disposal has been terrible but it’s not a career problem, I suspect it’s mental. A bit of confidence and we’ll see him back to his best. 

    And as a side note, what we recruited Toumpas to be is exactly the type of player we still need. Someone to play on the opposite wing to Langdon and perform consistently. We botched the pick on the wrong player but hindsight is 20:20.

    Kicking skills of both teams pretty woeful

    Hipwood one of the softest players in the comp.

    Tigers kicking skills are ELITE 

    Tigers pressure and tackling is ELITE

    Tigers concentration and intensity is ELITE 

    Not sure how someone like Goodwin could see that and not question his ability to coach and the Dees players pathetic skills.

    Two thoughts come to mind following that game.

    The first is maybe that 4 day breaks are a factor: Brisbane was off a 4 day break, Richmond had 6. Although to counter that, Brisbane generated plenty of scoring shots, so it wasn't all one-way traffic.

    The second is that the comp remains very even. Brisbane were pretty poor in most facets after quarter time. Pretty much every side has had a stinker of a loss so far this year. Indeed, every club except GWS has lost at least one game by 30+ points this year (side note: a week ago, there were three other clubs who with GWS had not lost a game by 30+ points. They were Brisbane, Carlton and...wait for it...us).

    What are peoples thoughts on Witherden?

     

    A very dangerous player to have on your team, thinks he is an elite kick and often fails to pull it off. Don't rate him.

    Noticed he had 19 touches, all kicks, with DE of 73.7%. Didn't catch the game, so curious as to his foot skills.

    I know it's easy to be swept up in week to week knee jerking, but the quality of that Richmond win signalled a clear division between them and the rest, perhaps only West Coast on there day. 

    I think we still are in that 2018-2019 period and the newcomers (Bris, Port, StK) are a clear rung (or 2) behind, which to me feels like almost the signing death warrant for holding my interest over the next few months. Stuff watching a smarmy Cotchin winning again, change the channel!

    They're missing players as well, that's a club that knows how to perform almost every week. No excuses.

    Richmond have very clear expectations on players that come in and their ability to convey the message across the whole playing group is exceptional.

    Every single player on their list can come in and play their role. You can't help but tip your hat to them, they have raised the bar

    It will be interesting to see how the Power perform after a 4 day break. Was the Dees performance off a 4 day break just an aberration?

    The Dees are an aberration

    No excuses for what they dished up

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
