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?

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.

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.

EFFORT is non negotiable regardless of who’s in or out of the side.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
