Tonight's game raised an interesting grammatical problem.

"No Bontempelli; No Bulldogs."

Is basically sound. Or at least accepted as a convention. But...

"Yes Bontempelli; Yes Bulldogs."

T'is a weird one.

    The guy I think we got wrong and I always had a lot of time for (and was one of our few goalkicking midfielders) is Harmes. We miss what he can provide, plus another around the ground mid rotation. I'd have him ahead of Sharp for example.

    Because the negative has to be stipulated otherwise the subject is assumed as positive.

    ‘If there is ‘no’ Bontompelli, there is ‘no’ bulldogs’

    Vs.

    ‘If there is Bontompelli, there is (the) Bulldogs’

    Miles Bergman = Temu Horne-Frances 😝

    Took me a while to realise that JHF wasn't Superman and couldn't be at both ends of the ground at once.

    That being said they are both good players

    So Beveridge couldn’t win a friend last year ..supporters wanted him gone ..media said he was gone (multiple times) club hasn’t committed to a longer contract ..all of a sudden this year ..he’s a genius ..,parallels anyone 🤨.

    Look at how the Dogs have played all season, combine that we’ve who’s been missing. Had Bont, Treloar, Weightman and JUH out for numerous weeks to start the season, Bont is back but Darcy is out.

    Last season we as a club were affected badly by the Oliver media coverage, to be fair the Dogs are copping just as much if not more over JUH and are handling it on and off the field like professionals.

    To think we let Harmes go and kept Hunter

    Massive [censored] sigh and 360-degree eye roll.

    Except they are copping it NOWHERE NEAR as much as we did over Clarrie. You’re only saying this because their “troubled player” situation is currently in the spotlight. Cast your mind back to when it was peak Clarrie media coverage then compare that with what’s happening right now with Jamarra. Not even a fraction of what we copped.

    Besides, how does anyone outside the Bulldogs inner sanctum know how professional their handling of the situation is?

    Hunner percent. Tough competition with Hogan, Riccardi and Stringer in that forward line.

    You scots BoBo?

    I assume you are intelligent person

    Harmes left as he couldn’t hold down a spot in the 22. Same as he has been dropped by the dogs. If you don’t remember all his poor games, I can refresh your memory

    Hunter was brought in to fill a hole on the wing

    2 separate situations

    You get used to the constant revisionalism on these threads DD. I remember what might have been his last game for us against Richmond in an 'away' game towards the end of that season and he couldn't hit a coo's @rse with a banjo. Still, good luck to him.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
