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.

    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.

    Pretend you're seeing Yul Brynner in The King and I. Tough exterior with a heart of gold.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
