PF: Port Adelaide vs Bulldogs

Dogs are +28 in contested possessions and +10 in clearances.

We have to back ourselves in to not be as pathetic as Port in those areas. We know that if you take that part of the game away from the Dogs, they are a very different side. But if you let them dominate those areas, they are arguably unbeatable.

    To beat the dogs you need pressure, port simply not up for the fight and haven’t been all year 

    A Port supporter mate of mine has been saying all year that they are garbage. Even when they were on top. He hates Hinkley and that seems to be a common sentiment over there. I knew they weren't that good but a number of times they have looked very good. Other times they look tactically lacking. This might be controversial but they are a lot like what Melbourne was under Daniher. Good, never great. And always crumble whenever the pressure is on.

    The ball hits the ground and there are 4 Dogs to 2 Port. Port's lack of intensity is appalling.

    You just can't have asked for a better crack at it the last two years, though.

    Top 2 both years, win the QF both years, home prelim both years with opponents who have been all over Australia in the weeks prior. And this year, no injuries at all. They have their entire full list to choose from tonight I believe, except maybe Georgiades.

    Thinking of the positives, a big win for the doggies will see them go in as favorites for the granny. will take some of the focus and pressure off us

    Gawn and Jackson would destroy Lycett.

    They'll destroy Martin and English, too.

    But we've lost games this year despite dominating the ruck.

    Gawn and Jackson are part of the broader picture - midfield dominance. We won't beat the Dogs without it.

    their leaders have to cop a lot of the brunt for this horrible performance

    Let's be real, neither we nor the Bulldogs have played a quality opponent in our prelims. It makes picking a likely winner in the GF very difficult.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
