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.

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

Aliir a much better recruit. 

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

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. 

Im concerned with the margin in the Lions /Essendon game......concerned its not big enough.

This season just gets better.....

I really hope Carlton thought they were getting Jeremy McGovern when they got Mitch McGovern. 

This is great wet weather footy by Fitzroy.  With a chance of showers tomorrow this is how we need to play if it gets slippery.

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.

Where's everyone getting this chance of showers from. My weather apps have it overcast but not wet.

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.

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

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.

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

What would you prefer they do?

They smash what is put in front of them...

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

Good to see Daniher booting a few against Bummers.......sink the boots in Joe.

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

Good onya Dry. A laugh is all you can offer

Are the Bulldogs the only team to play under the Roof this year?
