    Bulldogs have made an art form out of throwing the ball. 

    They've been doing that for years, umpires never pull them up for it

    Why can’t Sparrow be like Smith? They’re different players mate! Jesus

    It is very fair that the Dogs have Ugle-Hagan still to come in to their side. Very fair indeed.

    Well done AFL on running  a very fair competition with a really cool and fair draft.

    so many errors! from both sides really. 

    Just seems like the physical toll of longer quarters shows up in the skills. I’m sure we’ll be the same.

    Good to see all the rubbish new rule changes made to increase scoring are working out well...

    Watching Howe trudge off the ground looking forlornly at the scoreboard. Warms the heart.

    Let me rephrase,  why do our draftees struggle so much yet the dogs nail every pick. Why does Anthony Scott come in play his role perfectly in his first game after getting recruited a few weeks ago yet our second round pick from a few years ago spargo can't even kick further than 30m

    struck me as a 6 v10 game. Pies dropped a few easy ones and Dogs not that impressive up forward after that first 5-10 minutes.

    Season wise probably a little more upside in the Pies... De Goey couldn't play that badly again.

    I disagree.  Our skills are so poor already, I don't think you will be able to see a difference.  ?

    But the doggies look like a pretty good side this year.  They have a lot of really good mids there, and more who can't get into the side.  Their talls are still a weakness, but not as much as it used to be.

    That is a mis truth and you know it Turner.

    If you can't post the truth better not contribute because you don't rate a player.

    Sorry Turner aplogize sincerely but Elegt makes some outrageous statements mostly because he doesn't like the player or disagrees with the Club.

    He made a couple of errors which cost goals.

    Pretty clear that need fwds who can mark & score ., who are ours?

    That's always been the case.

    Fritsch and Jackson and I'm praying to the Gods in Heaven that TMac rediscovers his 2018 form.

    Max can take a mark, kicking is iffy. Petracca will play forward plenty early in the season. He can mark and score

    We've got BB and the Weid on the sidelines. Just need to get them on the park.

    We've got the weapons just need to get them fit and deliver half decent ball and we're a match for most teams.

    You mean like Rivers looking like a 100 game pro in his first season when all other clubs overlooked him in the draft? Or LJ with the potential to be anything, 200cm athletic freak. 

    you win some you lose some in the draft. We have drafted well over the last 4-5 year’s imo

    A player who cannot get on the park is effectively  the worst player on your list.

    Regarding the new 'Stand' rule, I noticed that unless there was a contested mark etc, players either go nowhere near the mark or position themselves on the inside but not on the mark in the place they used to move sideways to. And then wait for the umps to say 'stand'.  The umps never tell them to move to where the actual mark is and then stand.

    Jackson and rivers are both hot and cold, I like them both but all All I wish for is all of our draftees (especially our 1st and 2nd rounders to play their role), seems to often happen in the good teams. You would've seen Henry tonight for the pies who had a mare, I hope jordan has a good crack today

    The old enemy getting beaten warms my heart at any time of the year.  But, especially sweet in Round 1.  Now, the Dees just need to win to make it all perfect!!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
