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..

    It’s hard to watch him, when he is the missing link in our side. But i wish him all the best

    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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
