Luke has been coaching 6 years, delivered The Bulldogs with their 2nd flag in its history.  The team plays for him, and competes against the top teams at a level any supporter would be satisfied with.

When can we get this trade done?

    It's funny how the non MFC games thread still ends up as a festival of potting MFC. No mention of the goal review last night either.

    If you all love the Dogs so much, [censored] off and support them.

    Only just saw the vision. The AFL and 7/fox are inept. No goal line vision in Alice and now frames per second that make a difference......followed by a reverse angle where the ball didnt cross the other goal post. 

    Your theory on a final 8 decided in the last h&a round is looking good.

    Dogs have been super flaky. Not sure Beveridge is the coach to bring any consistency

    The title of this thread is misleading.  I was expecting some substance to it at least....this type of venting could/should be posted anywhere on Demonland....Does it really require it's own thread lol?!

    Has there been a response from anyone in the media or AFL? I couldn't believe how quickly the commentators dismissed the vision when it came back after the decision. 

    Even my 2 young kids were adamant it hadn't crossed the line.

    Nothing yet, but you can guarantee they will back the ARC and umpires in.

    Almost certain, as they are talking about what Round 18 matches to put in premium timeslots. We win tonight and there is 5 teams playing for 3 spots - interest is maintained through to the end. Gil wants every game in Round 18 to have finals implications.

    Re 'that' goal, this from the Fox afl site:

    This is where the system is limited; from one angle, the ball was just past the goalpost. From the other side, it was not. The nature of the cameras in this situation, and the way lenses can warp the position of the ball, mean it’s impossible to tell which angle was right.

    If that is the case, they should junk the system until they get it right. As I've argued elsewhere, leave it to the umpire. Umps make mistakes all the time which affect the result of a close game, why are goal umpires' decisions treated differently?  And as we know all too well, the delay of a decision on a mark on the line vs a point can rob a team of it's momentum to get the ball to the scoring end and win a close match.

    Yeah no 'feel good' factor for the dogs winning last night. That was a terrible result.

    11, 8, 12, 7 wins in 4 seasons after winning the flag.

    where do I sign?  if they didnt throw their way to that flag he'd be sacked by now

    Adelaide have made a good start vs Giants.

    Will they keep it going and help salvage our season!

    i'm going to presume not

    it just goes to show how ordinary all the teams below about 5th on the ladder actually are at the moment

    FMD, if GWS go down to Adelaide a day after we terminated our season with extreme prejudice... talk about salt in wounds. Hope... dashed ... hope ... dashed ... <repeat ad infinitum>

    Don't worry, the eventual premier will be a team we beat in home and away, leaving us to ponder what might have been ....

    A team on the cusp of making the finals  should be flogging a lowly side, I mean it couldn’t be too hard?

    perhaps the coach has lost the players?

    perhaps the game plan is awful?

    perhaps he speaks too corporate?

    theyve resigned him when they shouldn’t have.

    the only question I have to ask is...

    Is Cameron the right guy?

    Well obviously? They've just signed him to a new 2 year deal...?

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
