How good is Isaac Smith at 34 years of age.

That was an excellent goal he just kicked.

    If the two clubs are monitoring their own interchange numbers and an interchange steward is monitoring both then it isn't too much of a stretch surely to let them know when they've reached their limit to avoid something like this happening?

    I really wish Fox would realise Adam Papalia is their best commentator and use him more.

    He has the audacity to call the game, and applaud the gameplay. It’s so novel!

    For those that are watching the Dogs v Adelaide game, have Dogs been that good or Adelaide that poor.

    Dogs are quietly making a top 4 bid.

    Was at the game. Crows brought some heat early but Dogs are outstandingly good at getting out of stoppage or spillage when being pressured. They looked a division above the Crows all day.

    I have the Dogs and Lions both to win a flag in the next 3 or 4 years...but had the Dogs a year or two away before some of their young talls mature. But their mids are good and clean enough under pressure to potentially go deep.

    Luke Jackson is carving it up today. His last month has been really good, and his groundball work is so clean and sharp.

    It's the same travel time as Geelong from Melbourne so it's not a long travel. Not much further than Casey from the Melbourne CBD in travel time.

    Why Bulldogs are paid $1M to play there by the State Government... who knows

    Ballarat used to be a marginal electorate.

    No conspiracy. Nth stuffed up there interchange rotations. Surely there is someone on the nth bench that counts these

    Used to be a part-time job - Ratten. They didn't back-fill the position. Tight budget at Arden Street.

    Bloody hell.  I'm no friend of Norf but even I'm wondering how many times the footy gods can fart in their faces. Brutal way to lose. 

    How good would Australia be if this had happened to Filth/PorkBarrellStadium/Carscum/Essendrugs/Horethorn?

    If you are going to be reasonable and sensible you are posting on the wrong site.

    8-0 free kicks in the final qrt 

    similar feel to last night 

    in fairness the Cats had the rub of the green the other 3 quarters. they were double the free kicks at one point 13-6. a lot of them very dubious and resulting in goals

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
