Bulldogs couldn’t have asked for a better situation than to play the Eagles at Subiaco without a crowd, in the rain.

    GWS' recent "form" is a furphy.

    Since beating West Coast in Round 10 they've been thrashed by Brisbane, drew with North and had a win over an inept Carlton, and have now lost to Hawthorn.

    Right now, COVID aside, I'd argue Fremantle are as well placed as anyone to displace Richmond or Sydney from the top 8.

    GWS are such a disappointment. How is Cameron not under intense pressure? Is it because GWS only has 3 supporters?

    Looking at the weather radar that should be the end of the rain Perth.

    They only had a few mms but it seemed to come at the start of the game.

    Could be a better second half from the Eagles

    And none of them understand the game.

    One of my favourite non MFC players is Weitering. McKay gets all the accolades, but Weitering is just as good, if not better.

    I know he signed a contract extension relatively recently, but I'd love him in our back 6 one day.

    Looking for that sweet spot where Carlton win just enough games to retain David Teague.

    it's important he stays to complete the platform for their next era of mediocrity and unfulfilled potential.

    Another massive percentage booster for the Dogs. While I don’t want interstate clubs in the top 4, I’m sick of the Dogs sniffing our [censored].

    It's a pity the West Coast crowd aren't present to witness this. Neck and neck with Essendon as the most entitled supporters in the league.

    Eagles at home in Perth without a crowd is worth 1-2 goals a quarter. With that neutralised, as just now, they’re just not all that. Good luck for the Bulldogs, and have to say I’m jealous at how well their forward line is functioning.

    Just checked the doggies fixture. They've got a dream run home. Only game they could potentially drop is us only.

    The rest are all bottom 8 bar Port Adelaide last round.

    Yep and our ordinary percentage thanks to our inability to put teams away is going to hurt us in the run home. Finish 3rd or 4th and get sent to play Lions at the Gabba would be a complete disaster.

    WCE paid the price for bringing in too many off a long spell.  Naitanui went missing in the last quarter again.  That final quarter was a demolition.

    LOL. Have Carlton organised an open top bus down Lygon St for tomorrow.

    Percentage is irrelevant if we finish first or second.

    But we could well finish 4th or 5th because of it. We have by far the hardest draw of the rest of the top 5 sides. We play Geelong, Port, Dogs and West Coast (away). The rest have maybe one game left against a top 5 side.

    We haven't put teams away at all and I reckon it's going to potentially cost us in the long run.

    I'll cop a bit for this but I honestly think the doggies are currently the best team in the comp.

    I think Brisbane are better. They are more even across the ground. I think Dogs have a suspect backline. But time will tell.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
