It is what it is people. All we can do is beat the Bombers by even a point and wait for Sunday to see if Freo can give us a miracle. Yes I would be happy to play the Eagles in Perth. At least we are in a final and anything can happen on the day. Before that we need to win and Freo to win. Go Dees and Dockers.

If by some miracle we make the finals. Playing eagles in Perth will be the perfect opportunity for redemption. They are also very vulnerable at the moment.

Pity that the standard by,  and including the AFL's pin up, nine GF's  experience umpires didn't rise to expectation in last night's performance, Saints against GWS.

Am not aware of the stats here but it was disgraceful.

The preconception that the Saints was the desired winner was palpable, even if GWS played deplorably.

Coming into the Finals for a competition, having it exclaimed by their own Media that there are virtually NO RULES was staggering.....

Adelaide against Richmond........top game, play on game. Who would have thought you could have a game between the top side and the bottom side where free kicks could be paid without slowing the game down, but this is one.

The thing is, it took until the last round of the year to realise it.

Loved the fact that they paid marks, are starting to pay  kicking less than 15, but still need to be aware of kicking in danger....

Hope next season we have no kicking backwards in the last five minutes of every game played.

Ironic.

In 2005, Doggies beat Pies in round 23 and took our place in the top 8.

We needed to beat Essendon to make it. During the match the camera kept cutting to Bulldogs players watching the game and subsequently being devastated as we got over the line and pinched their spot in the finals by one game.

Fast forward 15 years. We beat Essendon for a spot in the top 8, replacing the Bulldogs. 

Except this time the Dogs have the chance to leapfrog us and make finals with a win over Freo. Do so and they pinch our spot in the top 8 by one game.

Would love to know why the Dogs (hubbbing in Gold Coast) were to allowed to travel to Cairns the day before while Melbourne had to basically swim the English channel to get to the game on game day for an earlier starting match.

I expect Brisbane to win comfortably against carlton.

On a side note you know the best thing about covid this footy season. It stuffed up essendons plans to celebrate there 20 year reunion and it stuffed up collingwoods plans to celebrate there 10 year reunion. 

Yeah but it stuffed up our 56 year reunion

Brisbane Lions player Oscar McInerney gut punches Walsh (Carlton) after a contest. 

Luke Darcy : “Not much in that”

James Brayshaw: “It’s a big mans prerogative” (WTF does that even mean)

Channel 7 should be embarrassed that this is their commentators response to that punch.

    RESILIENCE by Whispering Jack

    If the Demons are to win their Round 3 encounter with the Sydney Swans this week, then the frustration of last Friday night’s uncharacteristic performance against the Brisbane Lions cannot be allowed to live in the collective heads of the players.   What made the mediocrity of the first three and a half quarters of the encounter with the Lions so uncharacteristic was that it defied every aspect of the impressive months of preparation for the season the players underwent along with the

    FLAG DEFENCE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons unfurled their 2022 premiership flag early on Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields and commenced their campaign to earn the honour of back to back champions in 2023. They did so emphatically beating Footscray by 37 points in a contest they dominated throughout and, but for some wayward kicking for goal early in the piece, they could have determined the issue a lot earlier in the day than during the final term when the Dogs finally hit the wall. The Demons were forced to make

    DARK NIGHT by George On The Outer

    A pleasant, balmy Brisbane evening with perfect conditions for football turned into a bleak, dark night in more ways than one for the Demons on Friday night at the Gabba. Coming up against a Lions outfit which had been truly cut to shreds by Port Adelaide the previous week, with the Demons having accounted for the Dogs emphatically, it was reasonable for the droves of Melbourne supporters to expect to witness more pain being inflicted as payback for their loss to the same team in the previo

    POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs Brisbane

    The Demons had no answers for the rampaging Lions and were trailing by 40 points when a power failure turned the lights out at the Gabba. When play resumed the Dees clawed their way back but it was too little too late and they eventually lost by 11 points.
