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!

Edited by A F


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. 

Jeremy Cameron back just in time to strain his hammy again before finals.

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
