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.)

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.

has he had a touch this quarter?

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

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.

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

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

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
