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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
