    Hands down the best coach in the competition at the moment is Brendan Bolton. What he is doing with the talent at his disposal is out of this world. Shattered they got rid of Malthouse and they now have someone that knows what the hell they are doing.

      His actually turned some players around . simpson and Docherty look very skilful off half back today. PLowman looks to be a player and Marchbank has come out of no where. LIam jones has managed to reserect his career as a backman , incredible really consider the amount of criticism he has copped

        I wouldn't mind Petracca demanding a trade to our club, despite having another year on his contract.

            As a Bulldog supporter, I would prefer Collingwood win as that would mean they have 6 wins from 12 games, compared to our 6 from 11.

              Bad round by and large. Richmond, Essendon, Port & Melbourne above us while we are just 1% off being out of the 8.

              Time for the coaches & players to find the 'break in case of emergency' container and smash it for whatever's inside it.

                I can't support Collingwood winning, no matter the cost!

                  I just care what's best for us . Reckon the pies got the wrong end of the umpiring ( get ready for an epic whinge )
                  Melbourne's mids got them back in it, as they got slaughtered early .
                  Petracca is a jet .

                    Those last couple of free kicks were unbelievable bad umpiring.

                        Time for #freekickdemons.

                        Earlier today it was #freewhistlepenguins watching game 6 of the Stanley Cup. Nashville fans would be fuming after a premature whistle cost them big time.

                            Yep. I like Liam but I'd want to see him in this sort of form for the rest of the season before I started taking contract extension for him. The recent history of the AFL is littered with players who only played good footy in the last year of each of their contractual cycles.

                            He's, or they, have been given some pretty good young talent to work with and they are developing it almost perfectly.

                            They are just an ordinary club with an ordinary team and a mass delusion of grandeur,
                            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
