We have the Blues and Doggies coming up.  Anyone with a heart condition should avoid the game.

But first, the Cats at KP.  As one sided as a crowd can get!   Be ready for 'frees from crowd affirmation.'

No crowds helped us with the umpiring in rnd 23 last year.  And Max had the Prelim crowd eating out of the palm of his hand.  Hostile territory this time.

    Yes Bulldogs still #1 - 3rd year running ?? Definitely thought Blues would be the challenger. 
    They often get the “rub of the green”. They definitely got a great run v Saints 21-9 recently… then I think broke even on frees with Eagles at the West-Meth-stadium.

    Now Hardwick is complaining to the AFL that Nankervis is getting a poor deal from umpires.  He is a behind play sniper.  Gets away with a lot more than for what he is penalised.

    He, Scott and Beveridge are perpetual whingers.

    I'm so glad our club just gets on with it or if they do complain to the AFL (which they have every reason to about how Max, Clarry and Petracca are targetted) they don't announce it all over the media.

    I wonder if the stricter head-high interpretation will affect the Dogs’ advantage? Judging by his opposition to it, Bevo may well think so.

    And imagine how it would change if they decided to crack down on throwing.

    Do you think Hardwick, Scott and Beveridge are perpetual whingers for no specific reason, or are they calculated comments to generate a response, whether that is from the umpires, the AFL or their own players? For example, in Hardwick's case, I think he's speaking to his own players trying to develop an "us versus them" mentality. With Beveridge, I think it's a way of telling his players that he has their backs. Scott, on the other hand, is, I think, addressing the AFL hierarchy. In other words, I think all three use "whinging" as a deliberate tactic.

    Maybe, but there are other ways of doing those things without challenging umpires about free kicks to/denied their players.

    Bulldogs 18 to 7 free kicks after 1/4 time. 

    Dees only had 1 free kick from Qtr time to just before 3/4 time. 

    Not the reason we lost but the Bulldogs are kissed on the [censored] in the free kicks department. 

    It all helps.

    We failed to finish the but equally the umpires helped them gain momentum.

    Umpiring remains blight on the game

    Dogs extend their lead on the free kick ladder. Sickening to think they’ve had over 100 more free kicks than the Tigers. Seriously corrupt.

    I hate the Dogs. Have zero respect for them as a club. They’re cheats. They’re western suburbs scum. They’re a blight on the game. OUTSIDE 5 YA RECKON

    Well i won't go that far, after last nights performance i can't say i disagree.

    It is actually not the umpires fault, it's AFL house and their interpretation of how they want the game played. But the most frustrating thing about the interpretation is, how do you have wildly different interpretation in the one game>

    It's not so much the frees they receive, but all the ones that aren't paid against them for holding the ball and throwing.

    Not sure whether its been said, and it is quite obvious, but we have received the least # free kicks in the comp and its only our ability to have the 2nd least freekicks against (#1 bulldogs) that puts us in the middle of the table. 

    No wonder i hate umpires.

    It's a slightly different perspective when you take the differential out of it.

    Crows 433 Tigers 436

    Dogs would legitimately be a bottom four team without the blatant favor of the umpires.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
