Thats an amazing effort by the Bulldogs to win that game playing with Rory Lobb.

Pretty bloody depressing this is almost exactly 30 years on from Winmar.

There’s not enough mongrel in modern day AFL. Not anything illegal or thuggish, but just genuine physical aggression. Daicos keeps being left along at half back to do what he wants. Collingwood would

I'm thinking winning form is good form.

Until Bontempelli makes his touches dangerous, Dogs will be in trouble. Their young players are  struggling. Naughton needs to convert his opportunities. Their game plan also looks a bit shaky. Even if they fix up game day execution, they are up against a side that likes challenges.

We let Ashcroft have too much freedom, we couldn't control the centre and our backline gave it up to smart forward entries. Dogs play a bit like MFC, and the Lions already have a style that beat that structure.

The contested game and pressure on the ball carrier will show if the Dogs want "it".

 The Brisbane forward line looks good, Hipwood, McGluggage, Gunston, Daniher and Cameron.

Lobb and Treloar will help the dogs, but Brissy has the win over us and learnings about playing to the end. Whereas the Dogs are already under stress, with two losses. 

Lions for me.

I'm betting tonight will be a free kick bulldogs night

The extra umpire, has made a difference. No favours for the Dogs tonight.

I hope the suns pull some form out of their [censored] and beat the cats. Would also like to see the hawks beat north for no other reason than I harbour a dream of freo finishing last.

Dogs forward line looks really thin. If Naughton has a shocker, or misses set shots, I can't see them scoring 60 points.

Lions forward line looks good, but Daniher is totally unreliable, and Hipwood often looks good but does nothing.

Midfield battle should be where the game is won or lost, and Lions midfield will kick more goals than Dogs.

Lions by 25 points.

Doggies will win this. Lions were lucky last week and are the real pretenders. 

100%.  We gave them a free hit last week.

Bevo has also finally come to his senses and changed from a mostly 'outside 5' on the mark to 'standing the mark'. 

As insignificant as that might sound, constantly getting up into the face of the oppo ramps up the pressure to another level, provided of course you are bringing it in general play also.

Bevo's 'Outside 5' strat of the past 18 months or so has allowed the oppo too much 'free' extra yardage, less pressure and has been a disaster for their team defence in general.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
