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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
