Correct historically, but maybe your tense is incorrect. We'll see soon.

"..people called them that..."?

    My read was the Dogs gave Richmond some ammunition to work with in the second half. The Dogs flooded heavily in the second quarter and were able to rebound and break away easily from defence. To sustain that against the Tigers all game is flirting with danger. 
    Hardwick was quick to recognise this at half time and Liam Baker was moved forward in the third and set the tone early with his forward pressure and had a real impact. That got their tails up and the Dogs faced an uphill battle from there, all of a sudden the ball wasn’t escaping the Dogs backline with ease. 
    Credit to the Tigers for a brilliant third quarter, it won them the game and they were too good on the night.

    I don’t watch enough Dogs games to know if it is always the case but Caleb Daniel looked like their most important player. He sets up the play for them and always puts players into better positions. Stats sometimes inflate a player’s importance but his 34 disposals last night at 91%m if anything, undersells him. 
    When we play them I’d be putting ANB on him as a hard tag. Take away Daniel and the Bulldogs will struggle

    Good to see the AFL continuing last night with their distancing model by leaving great swathes of the upper deck empty.

    Expect the same with Pies v Suns today.

    Either ANB OR Spargo's clear role will be to HARD tag Caleb Daniel and then escort him to his car after the game, help him put his keys in the ignition and watch him drive of into the sunset

    The virus proliferates outside of camera angle. That’s where super spreading  occurs. Didn’t you know?

    Every time Josh Bruce got near the ball did  anyone else think "I cant believe this guy kicked 10 goals in a game?"

    That's how bad North Melbourne are by the way.  Ben Brown should be aiming to kick 15 on Sunday.

    And as for the soft Dogs, how much of their 157% came from their 130 point pounding of a listless North under the Telstra dome roof?

    The best 3 teams in the comp are Melbourne, Port and Richmond in that order.

     Naughtons set shot in the last quarter was one of the worst ever.  Kept looking up at the scoreboard.  Not sure what he was distracted by but shows how mentally weak the Dogs are.  Will be very disappointing if we lose to such a soft overrated outfit.

    Just making sure the perm looked alright!  He should have been hurrying back and just banging it through, was quite strange considering time left in game.

    He was actually checking the vision to admire and make sure his coiffure wasn’t too ruffled.

    Gold Coast don't have a proper ruckman today.  This Chris Burgess fella who is named as ruck doesnt even get any hitouts and the kid Graham gets 10-12 per game.  Just what  the hell are they playing at?   Grundy will get 80 hit outs today.

    Would love to see a Qld club add a nail to Buckley's coffin after he walked out on the bears/lions/whatevertheywere.

    So they are 3x as likely to win against melb than bullies or Wc and 5x vs Richmond?  Shows we have not yet earned any trust in what we are doing.

    The odd will get longer as the season goes on. ie if they beat us the other games become pointless.

    The ruck position is over rated. I don;t remember the exact details but in the game against brisbane Grundy had something like 80% of the hit-outs. The pies still lost the game.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
