Dogs look very ordinary. A lot of their players look to have stalled. Smith doing nothing. 

Meanwhile Port are having that season where their second tier talent are playing well above their expectations. Be interesting to see if they can keep it up for a year. I think Ken may have stacked the cards for an all out assault early. Will see in the second part of the year.

 

See the nastiness in Port when a team mate is manhandled, or even just tackled aggressively.

Haven’t seen that with us for a few years.

looks a poor crowd for a big friday game. 30k?

the AFL has killed the neutral fan that would have delivered 5-10k to this game

Anyway who cares it's a TV game these days........ reap what you sew


The real question is, who has the worst tatts, Liberatore or Dixon.

Come on Doggies!!!!

 

Weightman flopping again.

8 mins to go and Arthur Jones hasn’t had a single possession.

Naughton being wasted in this Dogs side. 

Would rather get Treloar.  Exactly what we need in the middle.

Not sure how he keeps getting a game lately.  

BT talking up his 6 tackles 


Is it fair to say that the only way Port or Brisbane win this year’s flag is if they play each other in the GF?

Can’t see either overcoming the home state and home ground advantage that Collingwood will likely own this year.

Dogs really unlucky there. I’ve seen our defenders get decapitated on a goal line  shepherd.

On reflection Dan Butler should be fine, I doubt Dan Christians even knows there was a game on a Thursday night.

Didn’t watch the whole TV of the game - did the commentators say he could have a problem?  If not how did Christian even know about it?

Poor defending from the Dogs there, especially Daniels 

Daniels “elite disposal” overrated in my experience.  Turns over too much.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
