Not sure where else to put this. A mate has messaged me saying Tom Browne has claimed Carlton is actively pursuing Petracca because apparently he is unhappy. I called BS given he signed a contract in Feb. Plus search across Twitter, Bigfooty, Google, everywhere has yielded zero results. Nothing on Tom Browne Twitter either. Asked him where he heard it and he's stalling. Is he pulling my chain?

Saw an interesting point made somewhere: We have perhaps 4 of the top 20 players in the league in Gawn, Petracca, Oliver and Viney. Brayshaw, May, Salem probably top 50. Fritsch, Hibberd, Langdon top 100. Lever, Malksham top 150. Other players that would likely make top 22 in any of the top 8 sides: Vandenberg, Rivers, Spargo, maybe Pickett and Wiederman 17 of 22 players that would walk in to any finals side, if not based on their 2020 form alone then based on their potential. We of course improved over a disastrous 2019 but: We had q

Dogs have been in lockdown mode all game.

I'd have rather they were belted than be this close. Dockers are also being absolutely belted around the ball and the umps give them absolutely nothing. As always umps giving Bulldogs a ride. As they have for 30+ years for some bizarre reason.

he's not wrong. he played his best football at melbourne as a floating flanker.

Nothing against Freo and I think they're on the right track but I can't believe we lost to this mob. We don't deserve finals. Sorry but we had two opportunities to lock us in and we failed miserably. Dogs are in second gear here, Freo genuinely trying but they're just very average.

Okay time for me to log off for the offseason like I always do. See you all next year. Hopefully at the MCG.

Ironic. In 2005, Doggies beat Pies in round 23 and took our place in the top 8. We needed to beat Essendon to make it. During the match the camera kept cutting to Bulldogs players watching the game and subsequently being devastated as we got over the line and pinched their spot in the finals by one game. Fast forward 15 years. We beat Essendon for a spot in the top 8, replacing the Bulldogs. Except this time the Dogs have the chance to leapfrog us and make finals with a win over Freo. Do so and they pinch our spot in the top 8 by one game.

if you're a doctor then no wonder our "expert" advice is so [censored].

he definitely is not underrated. he is arguably amongst the most frustrating players to watch very much BECAUSE he is so highly rated and can do things unbecoming of someone so highly rated.

most of this team would get a walk up start in any top 8 side. indictment on goodwin and co that we will likely miss.

Smith is such a momentum killer. Fmd. Just awful. At least Oscar can hit a target.

ANB bobbing up for his 2 seconds of fame for the week. I look forward to him doing SFA for the rest of the match.

Every week we have heard from the commentators about Melbourne's "stars". Most clubs would kill for a line of Gawn Viney Oliver Petracca, throw in Salem, AVB as well. We just play such one dimensional football. We aren't getting the most out of these guys.

Borders would likely be open, we'd likely have a GF at the MCG, and we'd likely have gone to 10+ games this year had one government not completely [censored] up quarantine. If the only thing preventing the country from keeping this under control is ensuring anyone with the virus is locked the [censored] up until they are healthy, which appears to be the case outside of Victoria, then there is no reason why we can't be going to the football in round 1 next year. Let's not forget that in mid May we had effectively eradicated the virus from the community and the only people that had it were
