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

Don't want them too but I'm with you. Doggies very lucky to be that margin ahead. And for an important game, it's a yawnfest right now.

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

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

    Boaks had 21 disposal this first half..

    Doggies still look sluggish to me. Their forward line is a mess without Bruce.

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

    Port with a single goal in a half.

    Pretenders or what?

    Different type of game for dogs, didn’t think they could win in a low scoring contest

    Wow, fumbles from many of the players. The B+ players are making lots of errors. Cannot find space or execute under perceived pressure. 

    Alir Alir is playing well as is Daniel's and Easternwood, Bont is in and out of the game, expect more in the third from him. Treloar clean footy. Dogs backline holding well. English and Naughton well off. Gray to impact in the third.

    Port missing gettable goals is giving the game to the dogs, they seem to fall apart under pressure.

    A pathetic spectacle of footy this game is. Niether side looks to be top 4 but I still think port can be more dangerous. Fix their kicking and if that happens in 2nd half beware. In Adelaide they would be kicking staighter. Bulldogs handball too much and they really do not have a forward line.

    Adam Cerra was on his way to Richmond mid year, before the Carlton slide, last 6 weeks or go that dynamic change from staying at Freo or going to Carlton.

    So from around that time his player manager must have gotten a sniff that Ross was the next boss of the blues.

    But apparently Cerra is not keen on Lyon.

    Almost choked on my chicken drumstick when Jon Ralph said "Cerra very likely on his way to Melbourne", then realised he means the town

    Naughton may go for that , dangerous tackle well after umpire blew whistle

    Naughton reported for dangerous tackle  - 3AW saying "that end of the season should get off".  Would ANB get the same latitude?

    Bulldogs looking good to only kick 5 goals 2 weeks in a row.

    Maggots ignoring the 8 meter passes this week .... ar at least tonight.

    Dogs gone to sleep, or Port improved?  A bit hard to tell which.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
