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.

    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

  • Quote

    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. 

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
