     , Rosman roved well off the pack and snaps our first, followed quickly by a smart Farmer goal. 

    More of this please DZ  :)

    Gus a lot more involved this quarter, accumulating some possessions and delivering forward. Hasn’t moved from the centre corridor. 

    Petty going well, has taken a few intercept marks and read the play well. He’s on Schache and has only got away from Petty once this quarter.

    Is Laurie playing? saw mentioned he was warming up but haven't heard any mention of him in the game so far.

    Laurie started half forward and to be honest he hasn’t been involved a lot. Declase I haven’t noticed much either, I think he’s playing on the wing.

    Yes he's out there,  to be honest i hadn't noticed him but he's pretty short so blends in a bit. 

    Anyone know what number,  if they're playing,  Deakyn Smith and Declase are for those others that are here? Wouldn't know them if the bumped into me. 

     

    Pickett got involved a bit that quarter,  took on Johannisen twice with mixed results but looked busy.

    As mentioned by Dee Zephyr Petty took some very nice intercept marks down back against a decent opponent. 

    Ugle-haden went for a huge speccy on the members wing and in the excitement the umpires missed the push in the back he did to make it happen

    Declase is #45. Big unit with orange/yellow boots.

    Smith not sure, but they've been calling #40 "Deaks" so that could be him.

    Brayshaw said on his podcast thing with Max during the week that he'll only be playing a half, so don't think we'll be seeing any more of him today

    Haven’t seen Daw this half so far and he’s not on the bench,  possibly rested along with Gus as I didn’t notice he was sore or anything like that. 

    Score 85-21 and rain settling in.

    98-28 at the final break. Not much else to report, Petty solid all day, Kozzie still buzzing around. If this was the game to choose between Declase or Daw I’d be going Daw for a list spot. 

    Thanks for tuning in, I’m following Goody and Yze out the door.

    Final change scores 14.14.98 to 4.4.28

    Being completely outclassed here,  unsurprisingly.  

    Daw and Gus just played a half.  Pickett on the bench to start the last may also be done for the day. 

    Good to see the Wizard here to support his boy.

    Jesus, they did look to have a good side on paper, but I was not expecting a 100 point demolition.

    Well that’s it the bulldogs slaughted us 133 to 34 number 65 kicked the last goal disappointing day Pickett was rested in the last quarter Rosman played forward pocket would have preferred to see him on a wing like DeClasae was

    I ment Bradtke not Brantley

    As expected.  Injuries and AFL listed players rested.  Dogs have a full list right now. Somehow teams seem to go through the preseason with minimal injuries but others like the Demons have key players out even before round 1 starts.

    Other teams don't have the burden of the Norm Smith curse ...... no offense.

    Can someone give a player to player run down on how the fared yesterday?

    Cheers.

    The Dogs were on top all day but we did not stop trying it was a game played in our defensive half

     

    Declase  - played well given the Dogs were dominant, took at least 5 marks, has a long kick on him, only his first game so needs time to build confidence

    Kozzie - gun, excellent fitness and tremendous work ethic, tough, fast and athletically gifted, he can definitely play midfield, side steps, twists, just a ripper 

    Petty - great defensive game considering under the pump all day, plenty of intercept marks, will slot straight in if May and Lever need help, would prefer him play instead of Tomlinson

    Laurie - worked hard, got caught holding the ball trying to do a side step but didn't let it demoralised him, would like to see him play wing in the same game as Baker to get a read on who has more impact 

    Rosman - didn't have much impact but that could be because the ball was hardly ever kicked to him

    Angus - he was captain for the day, you can tell he is a tough, classy AFL level on baller

    Daw - did ok, big frame, reasonable fitness, didn't pluck any massive grabs, ok in the ruck

    Petty should play round 1, either back ahead of Tomlinson of forward instead of T mac.

    Kozzie is a lock.

    If Petty and Kozzy get through full games next weekend then they're absolute locks for round 1 imo.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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?
