Baker is ahead of Hunter as a winger at this stage of the season. Playing really well. 

Jesus christ you say some absolute tripe but this is by far the worst take ever.

    He has the same problem as JVR with marking, hand position is all wrong the ball will always hit their hands and bounce out.

    You talk a lot of rubbish

    New rule for Anzac weekend, if a player  takes a mark, you can attack his full forward, or other team mate, without fear of 50m, even if right in front of 4 umpires.

    Bizarre!

    The Dogs are showing why we should’ve hubbed in Adelaide last week, after round v West Coast.

    Focussed, determined, hungry, the want to apply defensive pressure. Everything we weren’t against Essendon.

    For those that don’t know, Dogs elected to fly direct to Perth from Gather round.

    Apparently our players wanted to be back home to family. They even took the red eye flight... 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Albeit it doesn't always happen as he was assisted by a lovely shepherd, Baker's decision to run & bounce to take space as the Freo zone continued to fold back was a thing of beauty.

    Not one player came at him early, preferring to remain stuck in their "team defence by wrote" shape .... which in the end resulted in them panicking and giving up a free & a critical goal anyway.

    Wish more players (who have pace and capable) would do this a bit more often.

    Great stuff Oskar!

    Never. That was unintentional, I’m sure.

    It’s my opinion. I’m entitled to it. In my view Baker is having a greater impact for the Dogs than Hunter is for the Dees. I’m saying that, Hunter has been fairly good. Just love the pace on Baker. The game opens up ahead of him when he runs, and he seems to have improved his kicking

    Really unusual. The mentioning of it doesn’t surprise me, especially as it’s BT, the same man who is the most animated when commentating a melee. But the vision is something you don’t see anymore.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
