I say the original rules should stand and only points from round 1 count towards the season.

    Keen to hear the thoughts of those posters who practically wrote our season off and blasted the coach and players after our loss last week.

    Some remarkably definitive comments were made, given we were beaten on the home deck of a pretty good team that the bookies had as slight fav.

    You know who you are.

    Gonna agree with Kane Cornes about Aaron Naughton, used to be seen as the next big thing, he's a massive NAUGHT. They gave him an 8 year contract.

    Sam Darcy kicked 5 in the VFL team, and I don't think Lobb was horrible, but if they don't move Naughton to CHB, he's not going to look like a great investment. Dogs would be better trying to make him like Darcy Moore.

    Petty response.

    Enjoy the win rather than jumping to pot shot

    I was wrong about TMac,... thought he was slow, just think it's slow to turn, so having him down back isn't too bad, and was good by foot.

     

    me too. humble pie for dinner

    It truly amazes me how the Media World have talked up The Bulldogs list as being elite for years. I am not taking anything away from today’s performance, but the Dogs are very ordinary. 
    Particularly Radio 📻 scribes, their whole analysis is just totally wrong 

    Nice 👍 to kick relatively accurately today for a change. 
    Makes a huge difference 

    Go Demons

    I’m with you. Based on what we saw today, Billing’s clearly ahead of Laurie. 
    Spargs has credits, but is quickly running out of them. 

    Let’s just celebrate a win, rather than look at Spargo’s and Laurie’s performance last week. Sydney are a better team and  the conditions were much different.

    Got to be analytical in defeat and victory. Acknowledge what has worked and what hasn’t.

    Happy to admit I was wrong about TMac and BBB both were very solid today…most pleasing thing for me was how tough and hard we were, had Bulldogs players jumping out of the way…I thought last week the Swans out hunted us so great to see the “1 wood” back

    Beveridge has rocks in his head.

    Caleb sub (who traditionally kills us) and Macrae in the 2s.

    Please get fired.

    I was working today and could only glance at the scores. Looking forward to the replay.

    Great win, and very pleasing to note we didn't allow 3 junk time goals to win by a meagre 10 points. We put our foot on their throats and ground them into the ground. THIS is the Dees of late 2021.

    And I will continue to believe that we are a better team with BBB in it, with 2 qualifications:

    • If he is able to do 2nd efforts, he stays in the team, if not, his time is over.
    • He needs to provide 1-2 goals a game, and keep contesting in the air.

    It sounds really promising about Hore, Windsor & Billings. I am very surprised about Billings, but happy to be wrong.

    No doubt you will analyse it all for hours and hours during the week

    What was the whole May getting into his face? Felt  more than just a bit of banter.

    I think Harmes went hard on May, gave a bit of niggle and Maysy wasn't having a bar of it.  Seriously how stupid would Harmes have to be going May.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
