Dogs are quickly slipping into Geelong territory for me in terms of pure hatred. Absolute cheating scum. 

Back to Willie Wonka's chocolate factory for Caleb Daniel. 

 

As I have already stated, Bulldogs have a fitness issue. Adelaide now have the best Fitness Guru in the AFL. This result was inevitable!


Best dud bounce ever losing a couple of secs. Well done Crows.

 

“One clearance is all they need. 7 seconds to go” Shut up Dwayne it’s the dogs not the Dees.

Can the umps win it for the dogs with 7 seconds left?

They left it too late. Not that they didn’t try before that! 

Dogs are 2-4.

They haven't left Victoria yet this year. They've still got six interstate trips plus a game in Geelong to come. They still have two games against Geelong and games against us, Brisbane, Sydney, St Kilda and Fremantle.

I've had faith in them all year that they'd bounce back but they've got a tough run.

Jeez now we haven’t beaten a team above 11th. 

It's probably worth bearing in mind.

Assuming the Suns don't beat Brisbane, a win tomorrow will leave us with six wins against the bottom 8 sides in the comp.


Outstanding. Not even blatant throws could get the Dog a win. 
 

STOP CHEATING Footscray…

Ok so I'm at work & haven't seen a second of this game but the crows win by a point but the free kick count is 24-10 dogs way.

Anyway good win by Adelaide, which makes it more annoying they didn't beat Essendon a few weeks ago.

Now onto port v eagles. If port lose this knives will be coming

Time and again GWS would be under huge pressure in their back line. Scrambly handballs here and there, players dodging multiple Saint tackles, ball pinging backwards, sideways in handball chains ... finally the ball would get to a Giant with a tiny bit of space, he would get it to a Giant in the clear (usually near the boundary), and then upfield ........... nothing. Forced to stop dead & take stock of his options. Stationary Giants just watching. Finally someone makes a lead. Sideways. Ball crosses the field to the other flank. No options there either. Kick long to a contest and repeat. There were hardly any easy scores. They scrapped and scrambled without system for every goal, and as we MFC fans can attest, that's not a sustainable way to play if you have any desire to win consistently.

(Why switch play to the other flank if no-one can be bothered to get into space there either? Isn't that the point, to find some space and catch the other team on the hop? Otherwise all you've done is wasted two kicks and a bit of time.)

No-one anticipating, gut running to space to give their teammate someone to deliver to. All that talent at their disposal and that's really all they have. They play on pure talent, which is wonderful when it clicks, and wasteful as hell when it doesn't.

They've failed to exploit their massive advantage, and meanwhile, their supposed rivals at GCS, who were said to have gone about their club-building the wrong way, are the ones who appear to be building something with character and spirit. (Time will tell.)

They looked to have given up halfway through the last when only 2 goals down. It all seemed just too hard.

Imagine what a Clarkson, a Simpson, a Longmire, or ... a Goodwin/Yze/Williams could do with a list with hardly any holes in it, and a sympathetic city hall.

Now on the positive side. Watching all that made me appreciate all over again the wonderful footballing machine we are blessed with. GO DEMONS!!!

Not just blessed with but built over time to last through this generation of players.

That’s abuse of the Queen’s English.

Tex should apologise through a video with the Queen awkwardly sitting behind him…

DOGS GOOOORN need to turn themselves into the Lost Dogs Home. DISGRACEFUL too many passengers. Full credit to Crows in spite of hometown umpiring bias.

 

I heard a stat some weeks ago (wish I’d paid more attention) that teams who lose the grand final by more than 45 points don’t win a final the next year. Something like 70% don’t make finals at all. And the bigger the margin, the worse it gets (sample group gets smaller though). Ergo, Dogs won’t make finals, and if they do manage to scrape in, they’re going straight out.

Just shows what a great Coach John Northey was. 
We made Finals in ‘89 after being obliterated in ‘88

Jeelong were incredibly violent in the ‘89 Semi Final

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
