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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
