I reckon the doggies could be firing all their bullets too soon. If I was a doggies fan i'd prefer to be turning in performances like this later in the season.

    Played witches hats for 5 rounds?

    Just about, North, Suns, depleted Lions who were forced to stay away for 2 weeks, Overrated Magpies, Eagles who at times put in bad ones away from home.

    Brisvegas playing really good Wet Weather footy. 
    Deliberate oob call in the 2nd Q was a disgrace. 
     

    Goal Umpires are Redundant. They never back themselves anymore. A shame

    Not impressed with either Saad or Williams as Carlton's prized recruits. 

     

    Couldn't believe the fuss about them during trade week.  Saad was talked up as if he was a 5 time All Australian half back.  Jayden Hunt looks better than him.

    I’ll play. Freo are complete garbage in Melbourne, Saints are a rabble, GWS had no one on the bench and Geelong should be 0-4. 
     

    You can only beat what’s in front of you, dogs have been very impressive.

    I don't mind him as a player and wouldn't have been opposed to trying to lure him back when he was at the Suns but you're right he was touted as a champion and certainly doesn't deserve the accolades.

    They have.

    Also, they’ve been doing one thing we haven’t. Putting teams away.

    I understand what you are saying but we still did not beat crows in the prelim. Why? Not good enough when it really mattered.

    I think the issue is 9 rounds in a 14 team comp.

    We had a much harder draw than any other team, and finished equal on winds for the year. But the harder draw meant we didn't get to beat up on the new, weak teams and gain percentage, so we were forced to play away finals.

    Had the draw been even, we'd probably had finished top 2, had a bye and a nice rest week 1 of the finals,  and a home prelim at fortress Casey which would have meant we'd be odds on favourite for playing in the GF.

    I reckon people are underrating the Dogs and overrating the Tigers.

    Dogs are far and away the best side this year. We just have to hope they drop off as the year progresses, and we have to hope the Tigers stay right where they are.

    Not disputing some of that, the comments I made were in response to poster who said Dogs were impressive, l don't agree with that at the moment.

    Footscray have a % of 178 after 5 games. 
    they deserve some credit 

     

    North and Suns have contributed greatly to that under the roof of Marvel, no credit from me at the moment.

    Carltons disposal is dreadful. Improve a bit and they are a chance.

    That is the answer I would expect from you.

    You need to answer, not me

    There are 16 teams who have all looked ordinary at certain stages in the first 5 weeks. 
    Footscray have been very consistent, so they deserve Respect to this point

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
