    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

    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!!

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
