Muck up by tipping but who cares, another nail in the dog's coffin this season.  They do not look good... Crows improving faster than expected?  Or simply Walker give them better structure. 

 

24 free kicks to 10. Not surprising of course. That’s standard for the Dogs. Being logical and impartial, given that this is a repeating phenomenon, there can be only two explanations for it. 1. That the umpires are heavily predisposed to pay more frees to the Dogs than their opposition for reasons other than being deserved, or at least ‘equally deserved’ , or 2. that the Dogs are just spectacularly good at drawing fairly adjudicated frees, the obvious implication being that they train to create this. Can there be any other explanations, because it’s gone way beyond random? Way, waaaaay beyond.

They effectively try to play netball. Deliberately soft to not give free kicks away, and deliberately soft with ball in hand to draw frees from tackles as frequently as possible

Minor correction,  I don't think any team is top 8 material after they play us.

Still can’t buy themselves a win, even with the advantage of having 21 to 18 on the field. I would say that it is becoming farcical with the leg up the Dogs get each week, but it is now well beyond that.

It is fraudulent what is continually happening, and the AFL is complicit as they refuse to accept reality and continue to turn a blind eye to it. Instead, they’re trying to whitewash the game with this umpire respect bs.

Surely someone at AFL house is asking questions. Every 50/50 call and plenty of bogus frees go their way. Every week

What port will turn up today first or second half from last week?  

Both in the first quarter! First ten minutes the former last ten, the latter. 😬😬

If I wasn’t such a Demon tragic, I’d be done with AFL. The game now is nothing to what it once was, when the outcome was decided by the 2 teams on the field. Nowadays, HQ the umps and even the media have just as much of an influence on a result.


What a pathetic quarter of footy.

Nope they’re all down at Portsea watching polo and patting themselves on the back, smoking cigars and justifying their exorbitant salaries.

The sooner Gil goes the better, afaic. The need for cultural change at HQ is long overdue. Brendon Gale would be a welcome breath of fresh air.

Am I allowed to express my dissent with the standard of football on display today - that includes players and the persons officiating? 

Watching Port v Eagles on the couch and I’ve already waved my hands in dismay 3 or 4 times.

I keep waiting to watch a side who I think is or can be better than us. 
I have plans tonight so I’ll miss the Carlton Freo game. I suspect Demonland posters will report back if either of these teams are the real deal. 
I have strong doubts about Carlton. I think Freo could be a contender.

You can, but the umps will penalise you Jack. Probably tomorrow night 🤮

Do the betting agencies take wagers on the free kick counts?  One could retire betting on dogs games.

Port Adelaide rising from their slumber.

It only took playing a bottom 2 side ravaged by Covid and injuries on their home turf to get there. 
Port for the flag.

Suggest that you and Port take it one week at a time on this one.

 

West Coast look like a 2nd division side of the vfa from the seventies. Dreadful.

  • 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.
