They did this with Easton Wood. They never called him ‘Wood,’ It was always ‘Easton Wood.’

generally players with 3 or 4 letter surnames

Dow to Wood to Dale

Sounds somehow better to add the first name when you have a short surname

    The media’s focus this week should shift from Bevo to Lyon. 

    Sign Bevo up for another 4 years!

    Super coach

    I might pop over to the Saints bigfooty post match thread (shortly). Nothing like a bit of schadenfreude. 

    Did anyone else read the 'highlights' of Justice Lee's judgment in the Lehrmann defamation case? I recommend it. I especially loved the line "After escaping the lion's den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of going back for his hat." Comic gold.

    Is anyone else still actually watching the match?

    Saints weren’t ‘off’ either, they’ve just been mauled.

    I thought the H’uns front page was apt.

    R’pist and a loser.

    Bulldogs with +76 marks.  Has to be some sort of record?

    The Dees podcast all over the impact of the five day break. Saints were really lethargic reinforces why Dee’s were so flat. Five day break really warp the competition.

    True.

    What’s interesting is 3-letter surnames seem to be the ones that commentators don’t feel the need to include their first names. Eg: Cox, Ash, Yeo, Day.

    Unrelated: it’s gonna be a looooong six days. 😁

    @binman I was convinced that the saints had a bye next week after watching this performance.

    The game was a complete snorefest.

    Saints are pretenders, a pretty B grade list overall. Dogs had the heat on all week, were gonna come out firing, glad I backed them (and didn't make the mistake of flipping last minute like I did last week when I initially backed the Bombers 🤬)

    Dogs aren't going anywhere either mind you, two really vanilla teams who put on a snooze fest. Compromising the fixture with 5 day breaks so we can put on games like this no one wants to watch?

    Hell of a celebration by Jones.

    Which jones was that.  There are two out there but only one Williams.

    Commentator just called Bailey Williams. 

    There's only one player on the ground with that surname.

    Thankfully Bailey Smith isn't playing.

    Media last fortnight - Wilson and Cornes, 'Bevo's lost the players'. & 'Lyon the super coach'

    Dogs, 'Hold my Beer'.

    Have always thought these two snipers play the man and not the ball. 

    Really glad the Dogs pulled together. I have no great love of the team, but always felt the coach was a stand up guy and cops a few low blows.

    And Sam Darcy is going to give Jackson a run for his money in the hybrid ruck stakes, amazingly well composed young man.

    Yep the Saints had 3 games in 11 days while we had 3 in 13.

    For Melbourne supporters solely or mostly blaming our recent schedule for our loss to Brisbane, then I think it’s more than fair that those same supporters absolutely excuse St Kilda’s performance last night.

    Was the second 5 day break for the Saints this season. They couldn’t keep up with the Dogs after only 5 minutes. 
    Rowan Marshall was absolutely gassed, only had 11 possessions and he’s been averaging 20.

    Agree. The whole attack on Bevo was way over the top. On statistics alone,  Bevo has been the the most successful Dogs coach in 140 years of football. That team needs to be given a kick up the proverbial and Bevo has done that with Daniel, McCrae, Dale and others. He is an innovator but also a players coach. Cornes, Wilson and Barrett all did hatchet jobs this week. Shameful. He's a good Melbourne man and best mates with Jason Taylor so he's alright with me!

    • 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.

      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.
