Must have been a message from HQ for the commentators to talk up Ugle-Hagan tonight...

It's a deliberate tactic.  By moving that far away, they are not subject to the "Stand" rule.

Of course, it allows their opponent a clear 5 -  10 metre run forward.

The Dogs coaching team must think it is worth it.  I'm not so convinced.

I don’t see much difference between ceding 5-10 meters or having to stand on the mark.

Seems like a neutral trade off. 

My big fear last year was that the dogs would get this free kick treatment in the gf. So glad we smoked them and umps weren't as one sided as tonight.

So if you move back a meter or two then it Must be worth it

I'm not sure what the cut-off point is where you are deemed to be no longer standing the mark.

 

Credit to the Dogs for their defensive work, Swans’ forward structure is a hot mess at the moment. 

 

What a dreadful game of footy. The swans kicking id deplorable and dogs not much better. No real pressure as well.

….. but they have Buddy 😮😱🤔

Don't understand all the Tim English hate. He has been good tonight in both attack and defence. 

Swans the best ball movement team??

yeah nah

No hate from me. He’s a good ordinary ruckman. WA is welcome to him so long as they leave Jackson the unicorn alone.

Bulldogs 17 frees to 7

Not unusual for the team smashing the contested possessions to win the [censored] count. Putting their head over it


Dogs going to [censored] the bed here. Swans much fitter. Swans to win by 30+

21 free kicks to7.

 

Seems to be completely different interpretations here depending on the jumper colour, bizarre inconsistency 

Same with every Bulldogs game. Been happening for years. Won them a flag 6 years ago. It’s ridiculous.

Free kick after free kick for the Dogs

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
