Can the Dogs throwing of the ball be any more blatant ?

Multiple un penalised throws by the Dogs in the last quarter here, Naughton running miles over the mark , no 50 paid, free kick to Allir in the Dogs forward line, the Dogs player gives the umpire a mouthful, no 50 paid. 

Many were there to be fair but the pro Dogs free kick count in the last was, frankly , obscene

    It’s a disgrace. The Dogs are blatant cheaters and the umpires rarely penalize them. Can’t stand them. ****test club in the league the soft whingers. Was thrilled we belted them in the grand final last year. Rewatch that demolition regularly!

    Freo and brisbane got the draw jackpot , their percentage boost . Freo 138 to 151 at 3/4 time . Brisbane should smash eagles too

    Oh my goodness North Melbourne.

    That was comical.

    Is it a Perth thing to do the mexican wave at the footy? I know we do it at the cricket but never at the footy. I remember going to Perth and seeing Queen in concert a few years ago and the crowd started doing the wave before they came out, I thought what the hell. 

    Gee poor by nth only 2 goals in 3 quarters. This is going to get very very ugly. But does anyone really care enough about nth to criticise them? 

    Oh Freo are now on top. They can look after it until sunday

    Can't believe the Dogs won the free kick count IN ADELAIDE

    Sure he has a poor list to work with, but Noble surely has to be on borrowed time at Nth. 

    They are Neeld era bad. Good players gone backwards, skills have vanished and if there is a system I can't see it.

    North are in a lot of trouble and I don't think it's all cattle.

    I actually saw a Footscray player asleep on the ground and the umpire walked up to him and said its your free mate.

    Are Freo a young flash in the pan side that will run out of gas by round 19, or are they going the distance this year?

    Impossible to tell from that game. North were as bad as it gets. Freo actually turned the ball over a lot in positions where North should’ve scored but North were just so bad it’s impossible to tell. Freo are on track to play finals. We’ll see whether they’re top four material in the next month when they play GC, Pies, Us and Brisbane. All I got out of this game was that I hope North play that badly against us in round 10. The percentage would be great!

    I guess it’s all relative.

    Freo had 6 COVID outs and had their 2 key forwards out and yet still won by 13 goals when the margin really should’ve been about 7 goals.

    Perhaps North are really that bad as you pointed out. 

    Freo passed their first passive test of the year against Geelong. If they go 1-1 against Brisbane and MFC, then I’m prepared to label them the real deal.

    So many examples of umpire dissent, not paid once 

    Agree, but stay tuned and watch someone raise an eyebrow in another game and get a 50. The inconsistencies of this rule beggars belief. Scott should resign

    No Bontempelli, no Bulldogs.

    Great player but it was the truly horrendous standard of the Bulldogs back 6 that has them in trouble.

    Port took 21 inside F50 marks in a relatively normal game. That's insane. It was almost comical how easily Port were marking the ball with minimal/no pressure.

    For comparison, Freo took 14 in a complete drubbing.

    Back to the lost Dogs home for the Dishlickers. Great result IMO

    We play North and WCE in next two rounds.  We must get big % boosts; none off this shutting down in the last quarter that we have of late.  Time to put the pedal to the floor.  As @Sir Why You Littlewould say:  "Show no mercy"

    Otherwise, we don't really get another big % boost chance as the rest of our games are against current top 8 sides or a few pushing for top 8, the latter being Bulldogs, Power and Crows.

    If other contenders continue to beat up on the likes of Eagles, North, Ess, Suns the % diff can and most likely will cost us top 2 or heaven forbid top 4 as they have, 'on paper' easier draws than us.

    Heavy Cairns game and tight last quarter up there appears not to have slowed Port. 
    Saints also  have extra day.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
