Wash ur mouth out

Don’t get why people hate the kid. His hair? 

he goes hard and is a great mark and kick. Tries to get in defenders faces which is his job 

Would love to have him at the demons

Threw it away - free to Dogs!!

 

Assume we're referring to different passages

Sydney tackled in F50 causing Bulldog to fumble/drop ball and not kick it... paid holding the man... Blatant HtB


Can someone advise why Weightman’s so hated around here.

The kid’s an absolute gun, kicks clutch goals and I’d love him at Melbourne. A star of the future.

Umpiring of Bulldogs games is atrociously biased. It’s actually extremely off-putting and offensive.

Someone needs to risk a heavy fine and call out the umpires and AFL. You want supporters to respect this drivel put up on a weekly basis? Good luck with that.

All this talk about free kicks.
None about their woeful kicking for goal.
Should be slaughtering the Swans.

Plays for Footscray...🤷‍♂️

The free kick issue is something the dogs have been specialising fr some years. There just HAS to be a key to understanding it.. and undoing it. It’s genuinely taking away my enjoyment in watching the game.

Watch his terrible acting once out of contest for a free. His first goal was a great example arching his body and throwing his arm back to get a free.

 

If he wasn’t an acting, cheating little grub I might respect him, but I don’t!

exactly. It’s got to be called out. it’s not just a one off event. 

I have never really whinged about the umps and the dogs but what I saw that quarter was ridiculous. There is a severe problem.

That’s why I’m hoping the bulldogs lose tonight. I don’t want to meet them in the finals because they play with 19 out there. Momentum is everything in finals and we can’t afford to have it constantly taken away due to bias umpiring towards our opposition. I’ve never seen anything like the consistently favorable calls the bulldogs get week in week out.

To be fair, Spargo does this a lot too - but he plays for us ;)

I have got a bit frustrated with Charlie recently, it has snuck into his game and I hope like hell that the club get that out of his game

Absolutely - it also generally takes a player of the contest which is my frustration. Spargo seemingly isn't constantly favoured by the umpires either (i.e Weightman).

If every-one else has a ducking head thrower I don't see why we can't benefit from having one 🙈

 

 

Longhair Mullet just squibbed it

Why players take a bounce two steps after receiving the ball is beyond me.

 

I never used to hate the Dogs but gees I’ve grown to really dislike them. Bont the one shinning light.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
