making some mistakes but their effort is good

Dogs have a number of huge outs. They probably should be winning games like this by now

    I’m guessing Bailey Williams and Bailey Scott are non-contenders??

    Bailey Scott going well and among the best for his side, but Bailey Dale brought laser sights and his own motorbike today.

    Bailey Williams nothing to be thrilled about on the day. But that just shows that while not every Bailey is a champion, every champion is a Bailey.

    Horrific

    Archer lucky not to break his leg too

    Yeah he was reckless; but at full speed whether it was accidental or intentional is debatable.

    Port are looking bottom 4 considering most would think the Pies are a bottom 10 side.

    Who thinks the pies are bottom 10? They're totally stacked on most lines. Houston a complete game changer

    Exactly. They could easily finish top 2 and it’s surreal (in a bad way) to think we were in the early running for Houston.

    He was ours until the media did their work to change things.

    he was ours until our season fell in a heap and our top pick become top 5 (prior to the academy and father-son selections)

    there was no way we were trading the pick that become langford for him

    Only hindsight will tell whether it was wise or not. Houston would absolutely help us win now and he'll probably help the Pies go quite close. 

    We still have our stars and the window with Gawn and May is closing, but I'm not sure the rest of our 22 is premiership quality anyway. Taking Langford could set us up to stay within striking distance in a few years time.

    Is there a club that covers for injuries better than Brisbane?

    And massive credit to the Dogs for winning given their state of injuries although for all we know North could once again be a bottom 2 side.

    You're joking right? Good teams don't get smashed like they did against an undermanned Giants side. Happy for you to bookmark this, but the Pies won't finish in the top 8. Last night was all about Port and nothing about Collingwood.

    On the Houston trade. no doubt the club wanted him but we would have to give up the Lindsay pick +. 

    I reckon XL will have a great career and although Houston is good, he is 10 years older than XL. 

    On the Pies, I predict them (and us) to rise significantly this year. At least top 6

    I’d be absolutely staggered if Collingwood miss the 8.

    I'd be far more staggered if they finished top 2. I certainly think they're closer to 9th than 2nd.

    It's all too common to read too much into Round 1 (even Rounds 2-4). But I'm with @At the break of Gawn in that I think last night was more about Port being awful than Collingwood being amazing.

    Great start for Nibbler and the Crows.

    St Kilda look horrid. Incredibly vanilla football side.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
