funny that hogan plays against former clubs in consecutive weeks

i didn't see the preuss hit - was watching the other game - but was it actually bad? high? deliberate? what level of impact?

Elbow to the head. The bloke was fine so that might help. Definitely deliberate 

They won’t show a replay so hard to judge the impact

No one in the media wants to say it so let me. JUH sucks. 

I don’t disagree with that assessment but how insane is the hype/pressure on these kids.  The media had gone mental with the hype on JUH before he’d even played a senior game. They have no time to develop.

And he’s surrounded by a lot of trash up there except Naughton who is elite.

Reckon I’ve counted at least a dozen times Bailey Smith raising his arms having a sook to the umpire wanting a free.

The epitome of a Flat track Bull. First to go missing when the heat is on.

Maybe for inaccurate kicking.

If you play on his left side, he’d have nothing

Would trade for Weideman.

No Mitch Hannan, no Bulldogs😁

I wondered if he was our there, but then I do that most weeks.

and still no scrutiny on Leon Cameron?  Looking pretty ordinary with a gifted list, but no heart

Edited by monoccular

40 free kicks to 16 to Freo

again I ask - what is happening to our game?

hard to watch

You need to have people be interested in your club to be scrutinized 


40 to 16 free kicks Fremantle’s way. Think the umpires think the Bulldogs are playing two game’s tonight.

Dogs have a brutal fixture coming up too

How so? 
North, Adelaide, Essendon and Port is their next 4. Should win them all.

Gee that new player for Freo Mr Free Kicks will get the three brown-low votes for  this game. Had 42 Disposes.

I lived 20 years of this crap at Subi oval, hence my extreme dislike of the Original druggies and their chardonnay slopping [censored] supporters


So much good footy in backlines and midfields this season, but some of the worst forward 50 entries and goalkicking I have seen in a long time. Including the Dees. Not sure of the causes (exhaustion, lack of practice?)  but it is really noticeable. Teams playing well enough to win, and losing it through forward errors must be killing some coaches.

The Dogs were good for the most part tonight but woeful goal kicking. Their midfields not sprinting to the next contest really hurt them too. 

Boy I hope we get our goal kicking and forward entries fixed up. If it wasn't for our backs and mids strangling sides, some of our forward kicking could be costing us games. 

Is this a VFL/AFL record?

Yep. Umpiring was disgraceful and quite obviously bias to Fremantle. But GWS just dropped their head after the bad calls. And good clubs don’t do that. We get worse calls than anyone by the umpiring, we are consistently on the receiving end of terrible umpiring, yet we always wrestle back the momentum, as good teams do. GWS aren’t a good team. They look to me like a team with ridiculous talent, but no one has taught them to play to a structure. Their midfielders are out chasing kicks, and bombing it in the forward line without a care. I suspect Clarkson will take a good look at GWS and probably put his hand up for the job. The list is there.

Dogs don't have to play him if he's not ready but I agree.
Look a' moi Mia Fevola didn't help his cause for over exposure.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
