This.  I have a lot of respect for Doggies fans, they're not abusive and always respectful of their opposition.  I wish all supporters can be like Doggies fans.

Ever stood in the outer at the Western oval back in the day?

    Quite often, actually.  My best friend from high school in the 80s used to take me with her family out to Western Oval.  We always had heaps of fun.

    Absolutely. Never any dramas. There's always a few blockheads around at any ground, but on the whole, the Western Oval was okay (and brilliant in 1987).

    Was there at the Western Oval in the last round of 1987. Saw us beat the Dogs and get into the finals for the first time into my life. As I remember it, we needed Hawthorn to beat Geelong at Kardinia Park to get into the finals and the unforgettable roar came over the ground when someone heard on the radio and shared that Dunstall had kicked the winning goal. Was also there at the Western Oval in 1976 final round when we needed to beat the Dogs to get into the finals for the first time in my life. On that occasion I think there was a draw in another game which meant we missed out on the finals. I was devastated. I'll be there at the G tomorrow and am looking forward to tomorrow's game against the Dogs. Go MELBOURNE!

    Pretty considered comments really.

    I thought this was as an excellent summary of our game plan in a nutshell:

    • 'They worked so hard to gut run and outnumber the Tigers on the weekend. They created overlap and had multiple options moving the ball forward for large parts of the game.' 

    And this comment was also perceptive:

    •  watched the Demons play the Tigers in the practice match. Their ball movement was incredibly slick; they were humming like a well-oiled machine. They didn't even seem to have any of the normal early-season rust. That's what scares me more than any of their individual players

    These two comments from a couple of switched on doggies fans were very prescient.

    Could have been written about this game

    Sorry Kat DF I can't agree with you here. I've been going to footy at all grounds for 35 plus years and the only time I've nearly been in physical altercations has been with Bulldogs fans. Only once have i had any trouble with any other club and that was when I was paying out on Stephen Milne for his indiscretions. Never had a problem with any of the worst clubs that people don't like, even at their home grounds. Maybe it's because I fit in well with them. Bulldogs fans to me were the bottom of the pit. Except now i LOVE them because their Club gave us a Flag in my lifetime.

    The comments section from Bulldogs fans in this tweet is pretty entertaining.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
