That wouldn’t happen.

The Dogs struggled to beat Geelong’s VFL side last night.

It was probably only match fitness of Cat’s younger guys in the last quarter that gave Dogs the win.

They look an unhappy team.

geelong are a shadow of last year.  Why isn't that the narrative in the media.  ?

Dogs absolutelt gettable y by anyone in the 8 in Week 1.

    I would love the Dees to have such a goalkicking key forward.

    If Petty has an injury free season next year, bookmark him kicking 50 plus goals.

    We had to do it in 1990 against Hawthorn. Won both games, but they were brutal and we had nothing else left in the tank. 

    Half true. We had a week off before we played WC at Waverley in the SF due to their draw with Collingwood in the QF in week one and their replay. We should have beaten WC, we let a golden opportunity slip that year.

    Bulldogs arent out of the woods yet.

    GWS must be a huge chance today with Mr Toby right on form and one of the best defence teams. Those Carlton cheats will he lucky to kick 10 goals.

    ##&#%%##  F Carlton.

     

    Stkilda will be praying for a Dees win. If not, Stkilda's run in Sept will crash into a wall in Week1.  Over and out.

    Those 2 games against Hawthorn were all we had. The week off didn’t do anything 

    we lost games mid year that cost us

    Completely agree. The week's delay meant we were not tuned in in the day we played WC. You could tell in the warmup that we were in trouble.

    it’s a joke. If we missed finals after winning the flag they’d be calling for Goodys head

    not to mention the bombers not being dragged over the coals with their massive finals choke and 150pt loss.

    Watching the Port Richmond game. Considering turning the commentary down. Brereton is just so full of himself.

    I don’t mind the coverage having one person as ‘special’ comments, but they just talk way too much. They have a comment on just about every piece of play.

    Real incentive for Carlton to beat GWS so they get the Bulldogs in Week 1. Reckon Carlton will rip the Doggies apart.

    Another point is who would Port rather play next week. 

    They’d rather not play Brisbane in Brisbane.

    Incredibly Port have lost 4 straight up at the GABBA and 5 of their last 6 encounters against Brisbane.

    They don’t match up well against Brisbane.

    And Port are playing like a team that knows it can’t play a week 1 home final, albeit with a small lead.

    Geez Butters and Rozee are going to be an issue for us if we play them in the finals.

    We’ve already lost to them this year directly because of those 2. They weren’t just key contributors, they we’re the difference in round 10.

    Port players are playing like they are scared of copping a pre finals injury.

    Are Port even genuinely trying to win this? They should at least make it look like it.

    Still think we can finish the lions up at The Gabba so oh well..

    Goody wanted us head to head  last time.

    Trust there be more planning into them next time

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
