Demon Dynasty

Another contentious win resulting from an umpiring / arc shizen fest

Dog's wld be up 91 - 89 without the false mark behind the goal line decision

Hooray Noughton marked!

Duryea's kicking has been shizen

Score shld now be 85 - 87

Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting to him for about 10 mins about 18 months ago and can confirm same. Super humble, no nonsense straight down the line. You could be having a beer alongside at a bar and not have any idea he's a super star. Good SOH too. Love watching him. Needs more support in the middle though. Mostly just him & Libba.

Dogs shld only be 10 points down. The Stengle ball was still moving in his hamds (just but that's enough) and not totally in control as it (fully) crossed the line. HQ continues to find ways to influence one team or another undeservedly. AFL amature hour continues on unabated.

How was Atkins supposed to avoid that? Cut off his leg?

Dogs have allowed too many mids to get forward of the ball and over run the contest at CBs tonight. The Cats just pressure and sweat the turnover then link by hand to outlets & outnumbers straight out the front into their forward 50. Not sure if the Dogs are playing a sweeper but if not why not? If they are where the hell is he?

Baker having a good night

I think Scott is a flat earther and was referring to the edge of the earth and how long it would take till the Bombers eventually fell off. Didn't have to wait long.

The Kangas are desperately short of some hard nose vets. Among other things

How about Tex running over the mark on at least three occasions by a meter or so. Never called back. You're allowed to determine your own mark now apparently. Even if the player kicking in has only 4 meters or so between the fence and the player over the mark. One kick was partially smothered!

Fox was bearable at one point but not once they start bringing the likes of Kingy into game day coverage. He should be left to First Crack and other specialist programes where his inane over analysis can be taken or left by choice and his bias against the Demons avoided. SEN i stopped listening to once Hutchy took over and muzzled or fired any who spoke their mind a little freely (KB, The Ox, Finey). Gerard 'The Crow' Whately call (snippet) on the Rivers non-holding the ball decision i accidently came across while surfing FB. There's very few callers that are unbiased or a bearable listen. Anthony Hudson & Richo are still passable on 3AW but then you've got grumpy Tony Shaw to put up with! I guess no one's perfect

Attack from stoppage down i suspect due to Viney under done and Clarry with only one hand. Viney's our number 1 extractor and a fully fit Clarry (other hand plus uninterrupted pre-season) would surely be No.2 Hopefully we can get Clarry's hand back to some sort of normality pronto. With Gus out our 'managed' options here are limited otherwise you'd have to seriously think about giving him next week off plus the bye to try and get it right for the next leg. Maybe time to bring in the Kolt for his debut but probably too early?

Not even a mention. Then you have Whately on the SEN broadcast literally barracking and booing against the Rivers non-HTB decision. Did he say a word with the Rivers push in the back? Bet he didn't. Weak as [censored] Whately. The entire AFL is such an inbred incestuous circus. Hard to believe but it's even worse during gather round where there's home town barracking now from supposedly impartial broadcasters. BT / Chanel 7 & FOX (Kingy in particular) included. Kingy couldn't help himself after the win... still highlighting that in his view we are under achievers if we don't win another flag. Couldn't just speak about the great win and had to drag that out lol. Pathetic the lot of em. No wonder Carey bags the [censored] out of them. Anyone who speaks their mind doesn't last long as a commentator on any stations / tv shows. Jordan Lewis & Richo examples of that. Chanel 7 also now has the blandest special comments ppl going. Talk about a snooze fest. Selwood...bah!!

Billings just doesn't look strong enough through the core, at the contest / over the ball imv. Physically he is a fair way off this level imho. The missed tackles is a coach killer. To justify his spot he needs to be kicking the two gimme goals (at least) and hitting a few targets by foot coming inside or at least around the arc. He did very little of the latter last night unfortunately. The missed goals of Petty, Kozzy, Max and the two from Billings left the door open. Kick just one of those (and we should have) and the game was pretty much beyond doubt at 3/4 time. As much as i love Max and i felt he played a VG game, will he ever learn to aim for the right hand post from 30 odd out? Petty is slowly improving but it's a hard climb back from an interrupted pre-season. Slowly getting there. Smacca should be ready post the bye. Looking forward to seeing what he brings. BBB did a few good things and helps with structure but will probably also benefit from the 7 day break to Brisvegas and the bye the folllowong week. No doubt plenty of sore bods after that mammoth effort. The win even more amazing given Vins was just back from a dose of the squirts and Clarry with one hand behind his back.

Max held around the waste / pulled away from the ruck comtest by the guernsey on at least 3 to 4 occasions and nada zilch ignored! Was it Howes pushed square in the back in the square for Dawson's goal in the last? That was an amazing win given the bias of the yellow fellows tonight.

63% win rate at AO!! Must be up there or at the top as our fortress now.

That sums it up for mine. What a bunch of biased [censored] they are over there. AFL thought they'd serve us up a curve ball with two consecutive games against home teams in Adelaide on a 5 day break as punishment for the Tax Payer Park refusal and look where it got em. Love to see the free kick count in the last. Umpire 22 the biggest culprit. What a [censored] [censored] Farken fabulous win!! Carn the mighty redlegs!

Molloy on Footy show said it was the 'game over' signal encouraging the Port fans to leave & go steal a car from the carpark to get home

The best traditional (jam style) donuts in Melb. The piece de resistancee... the plum jam filling 👌🏻 Not to be confused with the hot (ball) jam donuts at the footy et al whIch are also pretty special.

That's pretty much how it went down. HQ will be mighty [censored] if we knock off both of their S.A. babies in consecutive weeks. Bloody hope so. Also reckon they are probably 'all-in' on the Baggers, GWS or any other interstater for the flag.

Don't laugh. That should be one of the major highlights of the development! Without footy, coffee, beer and smashed avos at 'dog friendly' cafes...what else is there?
