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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
