    Probably don't want to play in Adelaide but would expect to beat either on this form.

    How was that Boak goal overruled?

    Dogs are always getting the rub of the green.

    Probably because it was touched.

    I was just thinking that. Neither of these teams look as though they could roll us.

    Ray Chamberlain just reminding everybody why he’s still the biggest [censored] of an umpire in a very high quality field.

    Was it?

    The goal umpire called it a goal and the video wasn’t exactly conclusive.

    999/1000 times they go with the goal umpires call in an inconclusive call.

    Port were stiff.

    Ooof - both teams look trash from a Premiership perspective. Now whether that’s because they actually are, or the pressure between the two teams…neither should hold fear for the Dees from watching this low standard skills match.

    Won't ping em for throwing, won't ping em for dropping it, won't ping em holding the ball, won't ping em for the protected zone infringements, won't make em stand on the mark.

    Go doggies! Wrap up that top 2 spot for us

    The ball clearly deviated in that last camera angle. I think right call.

    Port one goal in a half... very average.

    That kick for goal by Marshall just typifies Port. Choked.

    Just saw Richmond’s team for their game against the Hawks. 

    In: Ben Miller, David Astbury, Jack Ross, Jason Castagna, Kamdyn McIntosh, Mabior Chol, Marlion Pickett, Riley Collier-Dawkins, Will Martyn

    Out: Dion Prestia (Injured), Hugo Ralphsmith, (Omitted), Jake Aarts (Medi-Sub), Kane Lambert (Injured), Maurice Rioli (Omitted), Rhyan Mansell (Injured), Ryan Garthwaite (Omitted), Shane Edwards (Injured), Toby Nankervis (Injured), Trent Cotchin (Injured)

    That’s 10 outs. Are they tanking or what?

    Thought the same. That wasn't conclusive, you would think the goal umpire who was 1 metre away in a empty stadium would have heard a touch rather than relying on a dodgy picture on a awkward camera angle.

    Neither side playing anything like finals footy

    We'll never have a better chance of winning than elusive flag than this year.

    Port look better for mine. 
     

     

    And I have a carton on this. 
     

    Go Power!

    That was awful footy to watch.  Meggs has one eye on 2 v 3 in NRL Panthers v Rabbitohs and it’s a much more enjoyable spectacle.  They have some spectators and a little atmosphere.

    Dogs gameplan goes to water against defensively switched on sides 

    And Port...are good but not good enough?

    Honestly reckon Port are a chance here. Clean up their goal kicking with better forward entries and I think they can beat the doggies.

    Bulldogs .... Trealor, Dunkley, Libba, JJ (other than that goal) not doing much 

    Port ... Gray, Boak, Wines (by his standards), Dixon also quiet

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
