I don't think I've ever seen 2 meter Peter have a good game but he looks on today. 

Dogs looking ragged this quarter (other than the Bont)

 

Essendon doing well. Breaking even in clearances and putting the Dog’s poor defense under pressure. Shutting down Daniels. It’s the way to go.
Umps will make sure Dogs won’t lose tho. 

 

Although it may helps us sneak in a higher ladder position, I just can't cheer on the bombers over the dogs. Along with the cats they remain my most hated team.

I'll stick to hoping the Cats keep losing and play the dogs in the first final and we get a gig vs the Power.

What's better, playing Port in qualifying final or in Prelim? We may better off playing Cats first week then hoping we get Port in the Prelims. Wouldn't want to see the Swans though.

The Sydney win is enormous for us.

We only need to win one more game for the season to ensure we finish top 4.

I'd dearly love for it to be tomorrow, so that we don't have to take that pressure into next week vs Adelaide, a game with "danger" written all over it (albeit I reckon Adelaide spent their last emotional tickets on the Showdown last night).

Not sure I can barrack for Essendon today. For one, a loss pretty much rules them out of finals, but a win puts them in pole position. For another, a loss to the Dogs opens the door to Port finishing top 2, which could mean our first final is on the road.

Bombers are playing for their season. I’m not a big fan of theirs but will be interested to see how they deal with the situation compared to how we did in recent seasons when we had our chances.

Come finals time when umpires somehow all of a sudden get better, the Dogs will be whinging about why the rub of the green isn’t so one-sided.

Hope so

I didnt factor that permutation in. Doh.

Go dogs I guess. But I do recall we whipped em over there not too long ago.

My preference would be Essendon be kept alive to the very last minute, then get snuffed out in round 23 and finish 9th, with a West Coast side who clearly don’t give a s*** whether they make it or not pinching 8th.

Bummers can start by winning today.

i like your thinking

but i'd reserve 9th for richmond

i'd like to see richmond and the bummers and someone else,  tie for 8th spot but both miss out by %,  preferably by less than a kick's worth

Yeah, but it would be against Port Adelaide, who we beat comfortably on the road less than a month ago.

I know, right? You know what’s worse than barracking for Essendon? Barracking for them, and they lose. 😑

They're just [censored] whichever way you look at it

Just saw a Bulldog player simply drop the ball. Play on. They really do get a great run at it.


Honestly, Bontenpelli kicked a ball across ground and Brian Taylor carried on like he had just painted the Sistine Chapel.

If Bontempelli got injured, I reckon the Dogs would win half the games they do.

Nah, just means the umpires have to work a little harder. 😁

Come on bummer s. 
god I feel sick.....


Excuse my ignorance but there is some crowd at the Dockers match. What’s happening at our game? I just assumed no crowd

I thought so too. Although I don’t see why they’d have no crowds when they have no cases and no restrictions. 

I don’t often weigh in on the umps but seriously, how did Hunter not get pinged for ball just then? This is what drives fans mad.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
