If the Dogs win so be it. We had our chances and dropped   our guard  and in all honesty we don't deserve to be there.

That doesn't mean that l like to see the Dogs in instead of the Dees. The hell with that!     Come on Freo i will be barracking like there is no tomorrow.  

The pressure will be on the Dogs and Freo's team looks good on paper even though Walters is not there. 

However Hogan could be the difference. So go my new team for the day.

 

Hopefully in the interests of fairness the doggies are just getting on the plane now to fly up to Cairns

Freo to give the doggies a game but ultimately one team playing for finals and the other thinking of the beach. Doggies by 25 points.

 

Walters a huge out, but hopefully the forecast dry conditions suit the Freo marking talls, come on Hoges. As for Dogs tall forwards, Josh Bruce is very hit or miss, which can put too much pressure on Naughton. The Bulldogs midfield is their strength, but Freo’s is running pretty hot lately and can match them. As we are painfully aware, Freo has had recent success on this ground. I’m a bit surprised by Freo odds, 3.25, I’d have thought 2.4 or even less. But then, I’m not a professional. My natural pessimism over-rides all of the above arguments, Dogs to win.

Nope. They got there late yesterday and even had a light training session at Cazaly. ?


I am all for one game, one week at a time but the prospect that  a drubbing in the West next week could set this Club back again has me quiet uncaring today. Never thought I would feel like that after 60 years of support.

Could not agree more.
We play 1 decent quarter a game.
Sometimes 2.
That won't cut it in a final.

I drew the Veil of Negativity after the Swans debacle.

Dogs by 30.

Cant see how Freo will kick a big enough score to win, especially with Walters out.

So frustrating we put ourselves in this position. We still remain a mentally soft club.

 

Heart:  Dockers somehow

Head:  Dogs have too much steel, and a lot to play for

Verdict:  Head comfortably

Consolation:  Trade / Free Agency / Draft 

All too familiar!

Sorry to those posting we don't deserve to be in the finals -  but if Dogs lose today, presumably they don't deserve to be in the finals either.   I wonder how the AFL will manage a final 7.

Exacctly.

How can we not deserve to be in the 8 if we are in the 8?  If you are in there you are in there.

Heave ho Freo!

Fyfe, Hogan, Brsayshaw, Cerra, Lobb , Tabrener, Mundy, Ryan , Henry, Serong....  too much talent for the fragile Bulldogs.

Dockers by 24

Dees to play FINALS

yes, and a coach that can match Beveridge.

Melbourne are the only side that fall to pieces when they have a spot in the finals on the line. Saints, who many saw as a bottom 6 side at the start of the year, dug in & demolished the previous gf runner up to sow up their spot. We absolutely [censored] the bed in our 2 games, similar to what happened a few years ago against the pies in the last round. The Dogs will put it all on the line & they will get it done. This week has been a media wanc fest over us keeping the fire burning, having it all to play for blah blah blah. The plot should’ve been focused on how we blew it & the last win against essendon is just rubbing salt in our wounds. stuff you melbourne

Freo have zero to play for. mad Monday plans will getting made


Dogs have everything to play For. Will be over within 10 minutes

I’m tipping that the Bulldogs will have things sewn up by half-time.

As much as I want us to play finals, I can live without seeing Gawn getting destroyed by Naitanui and West Cost just walking the ball out of centre clearances.

I’m not very confident today but I’m more confident than if it was us playing the Bulldogs or even the Dockers for a finals spot. 

Better that we leave it in the hands of a competent coach and playing group that will give it 4 quarters. 

In any event Bulldogs will not drop a game like this. 

We’ll know within 10 minutes whether we’re a chance. Bulldogs don’t fail to take their chances like we do. They’ll end up winning by 50 plus like a Granny that’s over after halftime.

I know Freo  are big in Westralia but I always considered them a nonentity  club !

Now we find ourselves hanging on their coat tails.

Anyway they are in @Ethan Tremblayterritory so I'll wait on his deeply considered insights and prognostications.

I’m a member of a Dockers WhatsApp group that has heaps of ex-Dockers people in it and they reckon they’re going to win easily. No one talks rubbish in those things so I reckon Fremantle will get the job done. Bulldogs by 37 points.

Thanks for clearing that up Ethan.

Honestly I think it’s a snowball’s chance in hell. Dogs will throw everything at them.

But it ain’t over til it’s over. If there’s one thing Freo know how to do it is defend well and stay in games.

Pretty sure they were there yesterday. That's how it works for everyone else.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
