No way! Dogs got lucky tonight imo. Outta these two, Port are the team to watch. They should’ve won this.

About to lose top of the ladder ?. Hopefully just briefly. 

Teams with a game in hand should always be ahead of teams on the same points but with no game in hand regardless of percentage imo.

Dogs midfield is a class above the competition. Their backline is very suspect. Their forwardline is meh although they do have Josh “kicks goals against Melbourne specialist” Bruce. 
Port were disappointing for mine. Dogs were very good. Their midfield is next level. 
 

Edit: didn’t watch the Richmond GWS game. But given the injuries to Richmond it seems like GWS blew a good chance. Or did they choke under the pressure?

The Powa are an extremely overrated team who got lucky with the shortened version of the game last year.

Couple that with the gifted games played at home and on the Gold Coast where they adapted and play very well.

No improvement whatsoever at all this year, extremely gettable in their backhalf.

I reckon they are very beatable.

Libba is the one you need to close down. As far as first dibs midfielders go, he is brilliant. On the outside the Bont and Caleb Daniel are very good also. While their midfield probably bats deeper, our back and forward lines are superior at the moment. Should be a fascinating clash in a couple of weeks time.

One of the things I give the coaches credit for this season is planning for opposition, no one has really got off the leash, and we gave Martin his first proper bath. Libba is awesome, have real respect for him, and I feel we will have a plan here.

Dogs openly throw the ball and the umpires never call it. how much does one have to spend to get that kind of treatment from the umpires?

Button it right now big fella, or I'll have Gordon Legal send you a letter

Their midfield is Rolls Royce but we have them covered in every other department. Our defense and pressure game will take care of the doggies. No worries.

I’ve asked this before but how did the Swans give Aliir away for free?! He is a very good player. 

Salary cap squeeze i believe.

He's been a great pick-up for Port

If I had to choose I think I’d give ed his collywobbles gig back so i didn’t have to hear him comment...it is unbearable 

The quality of commentating in general is of a low standard. I listen to most games with the mute button engaged.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
