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

    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.

    • 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.

      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

      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.

      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.
