Again, take clearance away from the Bulldogs and they can't win. You beauty.

You've also got to wonder whether injuries to Dunkley and Treloar has lulled them into a false sense of security about their midfield strength. So many of their mids can be exposed going the other way. 

Dunkley & Treloar in that side really restrict the output of Smith & Hunter.

    I wonder if Dunkley is gettable for us. I'd take him.

    Correct my maths a bit wrong, probably don’t want to finish 3rd if we cop port in Adelaide

    This does not really help us. if we lose to Geelong and Port beat the dogs we play our first final in SA.  Have to win both games.

    I'm not sure, I'd rather Port in Adelaide than coping Geelong at KP (regional crowds in Victoria) for week 1.

    I don't really rate Port (I think they are the weakest of the top 4 sides) and we have a good record at Adelaide Oval.

    I’m not rude. Hi back right at you!

    I meant we don’t sew up top spot if Port win both games and we lose one.

    Commentators get a hard woody over the Bont. But Dogs have frozen in the last 2 weeks and the Bont isn’t Superman after all!!!

    Western floggers didn’t get the Umps armchair ride this week !!! 


    Hawks missing about 6 of their top 10 players.   Like the Bombers, Hawks have a good group of youngsters to start to climb backup the ladder.

    The odds in this game were mental. Dogs very unsettled going into Launceston and Hawks on a roll. Clarko little mongrel that he is giving Jeff the biggest two finger salute. His treatment appalling and Hawks have put enormous pressure on Mitchell. If they start losing expect supporters to bay for blood. Can only hope.

    Interestingly Spirit, Bont was caught with the ball on numerous occasions. Maybe a combo of Bont believing that no tackle against him gets rewarded and umpires reviewing the Bont - love in from last week.

    Are Dogs in a form slump? 
    Can we all agree Clarkson being dumped by Hawthorn is the worst call any club has made this 

     What year did Neeld come to Melbourne.

    Tom Stewart out for the season. Wowee. I don't think Geelong or the Bulldogs can win it this year. He is key to their defensive intercept game. They have to be all out attack now. HUGE!

    I could not pick a winner if it was shoved down my throat this year.

    Wow, the Bulls kick 5 only. 

    A bit of pick and choose when to play, or have they got some problems with their structures?

    In either case they have plenty to work on. They weren't close or even showed any real fight. It is not a good way to come into a final series.

    The game against Port, next week takes on more significance, they need to play well in order to build confidence.

    My mfcss is kicking in with the thought of playing port in port town to be beaten and then have to play gws.

    Sorry.

    Agree. V Dees and V Bombers, Bont was caught and never got penalized.  Today the umps were fair and the Dogs couldn’t shake the Hawks.  If Dogs get umps favouritism they are hard to beat.  Otherwise very beatable!!!

    Correct. In that scenario we’d almost prefer to lose both. Although you really don’t want to go into finals losing 2 on the trot. 

     If I remember correctly the last time we did it we went out in straght sets. I mean being on top and losing the last 2 games of the year. I could be fried or pickled tho.

    In the Hawks v Bulldogs game it is interesting from player stats that the top 6 Bulldogs feature top of the stats  The rest mainly feature at the bottom end. This suggests quite a few passengers in the side. Although the top 6 also gat h er cheapies.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • 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.
