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!

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
