I reckon the Dogs might get back into form today and put themselves back into calculations. The bombers are an average side who were 4-7 at one point I think. In form now but they don’t have the midfield strength to beat the dogs in finals. Unless the dogs play poorly like last time. 

 

As much as I dislike essendrug, a dogs loss will make me the happiest this afternoon I think. 
 

can’t really see it happening tho 

Id love to play Essescum again in a final and smash them into next season....put to bed the hoodoo from 2000 once and for all.

My hope is for an Essendon dream run that gets them into the grand final only to come up against a brick wall that in retrospect everyone agrees that no one was beating that year.

Either that or for them to never win a final ever again. Either option works for me.

I don’t give Essendon much chance. Could be wrong but don’t see the Dogs losing 4 in a row nor losing to Essendon twice in a month. 
I reckon Dogs will do a job on them. 


This game is probably the least relevant of the four, as I don't see either of these sides beating Brisbane, in Brisbane, on a six-day break.

Brisbane only lost at home once this year and that was in March.

Having said that, there are great stories either way. Essendon lose and, well, that's the story. Bulldogs lose and you'd be hard pressed to find a side sit in the top 2 for as long as the Dogs did but not even make week 2 of the finals. 

Dogs with everything on the line. At their best they can beat anyone so I should be cheering for the cheats. But a Dogs win would be just fine with me

 

I reckon the Dogs are cooked for the year. Just need a total mental reset and to go hard in the trade period to fix up their list gaps (most notably in the ruck).

Bombers will win this, but can't see them getting further than that.

(Secretly hoping they take all before them somehow and give us the chance to pull a reverse-2000-gf-smackdown on them.)

whoever wins today has a big chance next week - bears won't be as good without hipwood and mcstay

bailey smith's kicking is as ugly as his mullet

english is a ruck being played as a forward; it's bizarre


I couldn't handle all the sh*t that would go with an EFC charge at the flag. It would be great to snuff them out on GF day but I'd rather they just fade away today as if they'd never made the 8 at all.

Dogs struggling to maintain possession at the moment. Bombers have looked impressive so far.

EDIT: Doggies with just the 4 tackles in nearly 15 minutes of footy.

Fork Essendon.
Hope they get flogged.

This game has a distinct 80’s VFL vibe. Essendon vs Footscray at a regional ground with lots of mullets on the field.


2 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

has he had a touch this quarter?

I just saw a tackle. So he’s there at least. 

Our game was 2 levels above this.....

Bontempelli is a shadow of his early/mid season form.


It really is shocking just how little commentator Brayshaw knows about the game. 

Essendon dominating, about 65% time ball in hand = 1 goal 4 behinds. Dogs looking pretty much all at sea for most of it = 2 goals 1 behind. If Dogs get their game going (no guarantees) they will romp home. Bombers re sprinting and kicking and doing all the stuff but look unable to captalise.

And there’s cloud cover. 

Loving watching an elimination final and nor caring in the least about the result in terms of its impact on our premiership chances

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
