Well, we aren't fitter, so if that was our ace-in-the-hole, it's a bust. As for the basics, we can't tackle, can't kick and can't mark.

Anyone notice how many big, fit, strong, young blokes the Dogs have?

    5 touches to Vandenberg. Another one whose cooked. Even Bowey picking up more disposals

    12 days for concussion so he should be ok

    12 days would take us to about 5.30pm Saturday 20th. Our game starts at 1.45pm on that day.

    Reckon he'd miss if it was concussion.

     

    not just missing tackles not even attempting to lay them. 

     

    Same Lazy BS as last year and before anyone says it, doesn't matter whos playing or what we are playing for the basics of the game are still the basics

    Haven't been able to watch any of this one.  Are there any positives at all coming out if this?  What's the score btw?

    If the situation was reversed and we had our full strength midfield and you took out daniel, mcrae, bont and dunkley, you'd expect the result to be 6-7 goals.  Its about right given the talent out there.

    Unfortunately, its about where our depth sits.  Our 16th-22nd player is essentially making up numbers again it seems.

    Demonlanders won’t have any issues finding new whipping boys off the back of this performance to replace Omac. Goodwin will be high on that list 

     

    We can not and will not defend against teams who short kick to maintain possesion.

    Making Tim English look like a leviathan of the game, FMD.

    Our disposal has not improved one iota.

    Our Forward line and entry into the F50 is just pathetic.

    Playing for draft picks again.

    Surely May will be ok for round 1. He walked off. Didn’t seem like he was out cold. Should be fine.

    No...Well one positive is Melbourne will win me more money this year as I bet against them every game.

    TBF if they even do judge it like that it's only out by a matter of hours. Incredibly unlucky if it happens.


    The Dogs have dominated the whole game.  Sure hands and nice finishing everywhere.  We have scrounged a few goals but the Bulldogs have just played at a higher level from the start.  We are not going to finish in the top 4.  
     

    I suppose this means Oliver is going to Carlton ?

    Vandenberg, Baker, Tomilnson, Jetta, Jordan, Sparrow, Hunt, Bedford not up to it.

    Bedford short pass on boundary hard into Harmes who doesnt run hard enough at it and is punched away from him. Harmes tells bedford kick was F****.  It was a beauty.

    Goodwin interview on the list demand for higher achievements & more than just making finals ... let’s c if he’s still there after round 10 based on this performance .., sure practice game but feeling is we are still way off any top side

    i saw that too

    harmes really comes across as a terribly arrogant footballer for someone who is fairly ordinary in the grand scheme of things

    I've already put a few bucks on Freo at juicy odds. I think the odds with shorten after today's deplorable performance.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      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.
