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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
