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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
