Bont has a real knack of going missing in games when the Dogs are battling. 

Or have you got that the wrong way round Ted?

How often do they win when he isn’t starring?

He rarely plays poorly.

    How some coaches from some teams like the Doggies (and us) feel you can allow the likes of Neale, Daicos, Butters & Cripps (and most likely Harley from here) to run around without a heavy tag is astonishing.

    There are always going to be situations when some oppos have one or maybe two absolute guns that need some serious attention or at least one more than you might have!

    Any coach who thinks they aren't necessary is a little tra la la imho.

    Not that I care but the Dogs are a bit stiff from a fixture point of view.

    Tonight they played the Lions who have had 2 byes v 0 byes for the Dog. Then next week they play Freo off their bye and the Dogs still wouldn’t have had a bye,

    I’ve mentioned this already this year but I don’t think I’ve come across a coach in AFL that talks up his wins as much as Fagan. It’s like every win is a benchmark win against all the odds.

    He already declared the win over the Dees as the club’s greatest ever win…until it wasn’t when they beat a lame GC in round 8.

    the draw has become so much more unfair  in the last two years. it was already bad but the above example. [censored] me

    Best results for the Dees in the event we win (operative word being event):

    Richmond to beat Adelaide

    Brisbane to beat Dogs

    Hawthorn to beat GWS

    North to beat West Coast

    St Kilda to beat GC

    Sydney to beat Geelong.

    Carlton to beat Essendon

     

    Incidentally that multi is paying $349 - 1

    Got the first 2

    Dogs weren't paid 6 or 7 HTB in the first half where the Lions player was tackled for a lot longer than frees paid the other way. Umps really set the tone.

    Yeah,  i think you'll hit the wall in either Tassy or Perth. Too many long shots on that list hence the big payout.

    What is this season?

    Bulldogs looked like a contender last week. Now being thrashed by a depleted Lions who most likely won't make the 8. 🤯🤯🤯

    Lions have a very soft fixture leading into Sept.

    I think they play Saints TWICE in the next 7 rounds  FFS.

    Also play other junk sides + Essen-done who will be done by r24 at the Gabba.

    They might finish with 13 + a draw. That gets them 7 or 8th place.

    The AFL draw is a hot mess. Suns fixture us laughable its so rigged.

    They had to help premiership coach Dimma, it wouldn't look good  if they missed the 8 after all the hype and 12 years wasted by that club.

    I think you’re getting the Suns confused with the Brions..

    Could probably have had him a couple of years back when his contract was renewed. At that time he was not setting GWS alight.

    I’m sure enquiries were made. Finding a Key Forward is not a new problem

    See if west coast can beat nth without Harley. Not sure how the commentary team will cope without being able to call him but it will be more interesting to count how many times the camera pans onto him

    remember when there used to be good good Saturday games to watch?

    we haven’t had a decent Sat night game in about 6 weeks

    all these gimmick rounds like gather round and rival round have all the good clashes

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
