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’

    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.

    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?

    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.

    Harmes 4 goals V GWS. Very pleased for him. He turned the '21 GF with his beautiful pass to Fritter in Q3.

    And wasn’t he the player who kicked the ball to Watts on the wing, who then ran to kick THAT GOAL against Pies at the MCG?

    There’s a very good article in the Hun today about Beveridge. I think we were crucified over issues last year & really JUH’s “antics” probably surpass all our issues rolled into one. My stand is still to support our coach & coaching team & let him ..the players & club be judged at the end of the year.

    I’ll be at the ‘G today for the Blues/Cats match. I have a niece who has defected and is a Cats fan much to the chagrin of my all-Carlton family. I’m supporting her because I know only to well what it’s like to be the black sheep and I respect her for having the balls to come out as a Cats fan, unlike my gutless self who masqueraded as a Blues fan for many years. 😭

    I’ll be going for the Blues though. Soz if that makes anyone throw up their brekky 😅 At least one person here will be of the same mind, huh @No. 31 ?????

    The last three weeks seem to have been never ending football. With Gather round, Easter and then Anzac Day it's easier to count the days when AFL was not on.

    For all that it doesn't seem to have impacted attendances but I'd love to see the TV ratings.

    Good showing in Canberra last night but can anyone tell me the cost of a seat in the stands? It seemed they were only 80% full compared to the standing areas which were packed.

    Spot on.

    When the media talked about the Clarrie situation, it was framed as though it was the club’s fault and MFC should somehow be responsible for his behaviour and we had bad culture blah blah blah.

    Now, the media is framing the JUH story as if it’s just such a pity and the Bulldogs are the victims of this “troubled player.”

    Wildly different treatment for the two clubs.

    Very good BoBo. I think my favourite scots word might be glaikit. Scran is very north of England I think? From my time living down south I still call a curry a ruby and say yer man from my time in Ireland.

    Tonight’s game revealed a grammatical tragedy of Shakespearean proportions (where's @Ghostwriter in an emergency like this?)
    "No Bontempelli; No Bulldogs" — tight, mournful, the stuff of banners and battle cries.
    "Yes Bontempelli; Yes Bulldogs" — sounds like a bad motivational poster found in the general manager's office.
    "Eventually it’ll just be silence — no Bontempelli, no Bulldogs, no meaning — just the wind" — We are all mad, insane with the hopelessness of trying to find meaning where there is none. Dostoyevsky

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
