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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
