DEEDAY: Dockers vs Bulldogs

We don’t deserve finals! Need to stew on it over Summer and make some big changes... Starting with the footy department! 

Dogs are more deserving because they beat us. And beat us well...!

    This match will be over at 1/4 time. Dockers have nothing to play for. Bulldogs don’t rollover. They know what’s at stake and they’ll get the job done. 

    we can’t cry over spilt milk. We had our chance and well and truly blew it. 

    A win for the Dockers will cost them draft order.

    If the Dockers were that desperate to win they probably would’ve rolled the dice on an injured Walters.

    Dogs should be winning this one quite easily and if they do lose then they should be considered as mentally soft as us.

    well they say it comes in three's

    The Huntracc affair, Bennell throwing an all nighter and we all know what comes next.

    What a underwhelming season by this club

    If Freo had beaten the Dogs yesterday and we were playing today then our fate would be in our own hands. Teams always rely on the results of other games for ladder position - it's a sporting league. Should the Dogs lose and we haven't cheated then we deserve to play in the finals - stating otherwise is just odd. We are currently a mid-table team - whether we play in the finals or not doesn't alter how we've performed until this point in the season. You can still complain all you want.

    Yeah not really understanding this dribble about how we don't deserve to play finals. 

    We beat st kilda, pies & giants all finals contenders or there abouts. Lost by under a kick to two 4 four teams. And just had a poor showing against Freo and Sydney. (Freo since have shown a lot of teams how much they are clicking) 

    The dogs for [censored] sake lost to the blues by 10 goals looked no where near it against pies and saints however have snuck a decent ground out win against the Eagles and played well against us. 

    Saints are the same had some horrible losses including norf, the Eagles B team at the Gabba , Freo, but again they have also had some great wins port and Richmond spring to mind. 

    Who ever is in the 8 tonight deserves to be there.

    We’re all doomed. So many misery guts on here.  Hunt trac nothing to see there. Bennell yet to know full facts.  Don’t deserve finals. (Nor do dogs if they lose.  Final 7 required).

    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 distinctly remember dogs blowing a chance v wc a few weeks back

    I didn't realise that Walters was out injured. That makes it pretty hard for the Dockers.

    The Dogs have had the dream draw staying, and playing at the GC for most of their games.

    They have met weakened sides like in the Eagles game, without Nic Nat, Yeo, Cripps, Shuey, Hurn, Redden and others. Against the Eagles they were also 3 of their 6 goals from soft frees and beat them by a dodgy goal line call,  in the last score of the game. 

    They had the best of the umpiring, allowing them to throw the ball to each other and getting soft frees in front of goal in many games and yes I watched most of them.

    They hardly travelled. Now for the Cairns game they were allowed to go up early unlike us who were forced to go on the day, being our 3rd interstate game in 9 days.

    Is all of that an excuse for us, no, but it sure was a help to the Dogs.

    Hope they get smashed today, so we can again be the travelling team in the finals, to add to our leader record for this year in games travelled away from home or from our temporary home.

    BTW, if we fluke it and get in, I actually think we can beat the Eagles in Perth, as they are not at their best and have a few injuries as well.

    End of rant.

    It's a very strange attitude to have "don't deserve finals", especially in a season were everyone has played each other once. If you make it you obviously deserve it because you've performed better than the clubs beneath.

    Do I need to post our fixture? If one team doesn't 'deserve' to play finals compared to another team on the same points then there it is in plain text. Who wants to see St Kilda's or the back half of Collingwood's fixture as well?

    Dogs are more deserving because they beat us. And beat us well...! 

    They also lost to Collingwood, st Kilda and carlton by a combined total of 142 points. Not sure if your logic really adds up.

    The game is not far from starting. I 've downed a couple of stubbies and just opened a Shiraz.

    I feel strangely listless, lethargic - almost uncaring.

    I'll watch of course but I'm not confident. A sense of doom and inevitability pervades The Manor.

    As soon as a Doggies win becomes obvious I'll quietly get [censored] and reflect on opportunities lost.

    No and they are not coming off a 4 day break since Alice Springs and 3 games in 9 days. Nor is it pouring and blowing a gale.

    And not a single 4-day turnaround, either.

    I'm saving a proper chart for after the season so there's no sour grapes but I have a hunch that not many teams have won this year off 4-day breaks unless the opponent was also on 4 days.

    Nobody could look at our season and think 'oh, well, they had it soft so they don't really deserve where they finished'.

    Except possibly one of our throwing a sook-session.

    Geelong did it once. They also have twelve blokes who have played more games than anyone on our list bar Jones.

    Dogs aren’t more deserving than us if they don’t make finals. You have to win games of footy and if we win enough games to make the 8 no one else deserves it more.

    I’m talking about the Dees and Dogs! We were both playing for a finals spot when we played each other... They beat us hands down. If we beat them that day it would be us playing finals!

    To be fair I was pretty hot that day they drove from Brisbane to Gold Coast.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
