    The best thing a Melbourne supporter can do now is import covid (Or another communicable disease) to Perth so we can play WC in Geelong. They have been smacked twice there this year

    LOL Ump paid a free against Roughead, who immediately starts to remonstrate asking the ump all the whys and wherefores. Fan in the front row screams out to the ump, “ANSWER HIM!” Certainly not what an ump would expect to hear. ?

    What’s the bet that fan is a schoolteacher or at the very least a dad?

    Most polite Collingwood fan I’ve ever heard. ?

    Definitely an authoritative figure with a projecting voice!

    Seriously the Doggies are a good outfit. Their forward connection and ball use is just something to marvel at. 
     

    And they have forwards that can actually kick straight.

    Ump: "Here's your answer. Jordan, under law 22.2.2 (k), I am reporting you for disputing an umpire's decision."

    We should have given BB back to Norf....at least that way he could help them beat Doggies and keep us up the ladder.

    Don't care what people say on here regarding our ladder position, but the Western Bulldogs are CLEARLY the best team in the comp.

    They are ahead on us so many levels. Their midfield to forward connection is light years ahead of us and they have forwards who actually impact and kick goals. 

    Their mids just do their role so simple. None of this Hollywood crap that Petracca, Oliver or Harmes have dished out the past couple of weeks. 

    Their midfield depth is scary.

    A well drilled and coached outfit. Individually though they are not any better so I have some hope that we can build to that but agree they are the best in the comp.

    Sure.

    Doesn't mean we can't beat them.

    We already have.

    This almost becomes irrelevant when we lose to sides like Adelaide, Collingwood and GWS.

    They're top team because they get it done against these teams when we simply don't.

    This is very strange logic Dazzle.

    Last year Richmond lost to Hawthorn and Sydney. Does that devalue their premiership?

    Its about putting together the best body of work you can to give yourself the best opportunity in September.

    Stewy Dew’s nickname? It has to be “Over” doesn’t it? He looks 10 months pregnant!

    We beat grand finalists in Adelaide on their home deck in 2017 and also beat eventual premiers in West Coast back in 2018. 

    We are one loss from dropping from top 4 next week. The fact we've put ourselves in that position by dropping games to bottom 8 side just shows that we still cannot be trusted once again, and that we are still mentally fragile.

    There are significant improvement needed over the next coming weeks because right now our destiny is in our hands if we are to seriously contend 

    History will tell you that you'll never win a flag from outside the 4. Doggies did it in a once in a million back in 2016, but it's a rarity.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
