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 

  • Quote

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
