    AFL Grand Final The Sophie's Choice 2025 Grand Final

    Might as well kick off the Grand Final thread now. It's only going to dominate the media more and more as the week progresses. This seemed like a good way to start: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/sep/23/how-to-pick-team-to-cheer-for-afl-grand-final-geelong-cats-brisbane-lions It's...

    Brownlow 2025 Brownlow Count

    Might as well start a separate thread for this. When does the actual count start? I'm not the slightest bit interested in all the pre-count hype and red carpet razzamatazz. But good luck to them all for their hour in the spotlight. Any chance of a Bulldog featuring in the finish? As usual...

    No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs Only - Part 6

    Where did this Macquarie Point Folly originate from anyway? Tasmania had been agitating for years for an AFL team, a seat at the big table. It was a matter of state pride, not to mention the prospect of increased tourism revenue. However its white papers had been ignored. Its entreaties fell...

    Video Highlights Moments

    Thought I'd try this as an adjunct to the weekly autopsy thread. The idea: When you're watching the match or a replay you sometimes see a brief moment that encapsulates a trend, an emerging talent, a turning point in the match, a player's flaw or strength, a coaching flaw or strength ... and so...

    The Jamarra Thread

    I'm agnostic on this. I've heard rumours from other sources, as probably many here have. I'm not prepared to repeat them because they are just that ... rumours. Unsubstantiated. Who knows what's correct? Some here might. Most don't. It's obviously complex, unusual. Maybe unique. For my...

    Competitions The Pieman 2025

    Pieman Season 14 is now open! Welcome to Pieman 14. Welcome back to the old hands and welcome to anyone wanting to try it for the first time. There is only one minor rule change for 2025. The Chump bonus has been reduced from 40% to 30% of your raw score. (A Chump is when you select five...

    Meet Up Meet-Up Options - Round 7 vs GWS at Manuka

    Getting in early here... We play GWS at Manuka at 7:35 on Saturday 26 April. Usually when the Dogs come to town somebody posts a few days before the game "where are we meeting for drinks?" and we end up at the Durham Castle in Kingston or whatever bar comes to mind. Maybe we end up scattered...

    Vote here. Which was the biggest story of 2024?

    I need your help. As part of the 2024 Time Capsule we asked what the biggest story of 2024 would be, as voted on by peers (ie YOU). The story didn't necessarily have to be accurate or realistic but you can vote on that basis if you like. Humour and creativity also taken into account. Please...

    For reasons mentioned in my post in the trades thread here's a thread for genuine news items related to trade, draft and list management. No discussion. It's just a place where you come to get a summary of off-season news relating to WB players. Without having to read through 10 pages of...

    Game Day GF 2024 - does anybody GaF?

    Might as well consign all our GF day musings to one thread so that we can tie it up neatly tomorrow and put it out with next week's garbage. Saves cluttering up one of our long term threads. So ... My tip: Swans by 22. Heeney for the Norm. My preference: There is an unexpected climate change...

    Autopsy RD 22 - Exposed by the Crows

    It's early 4th quarter so I guess it's safe to call it. It's hard to fathom but it's such familiar territory. Here are some unedited consecutive posts from the GDT (during the third quarter). There's a pattern. They could have been cut and pasted from any one of our other inexplicable losses...

    MVP Ching Rd 17 v Port

    Game Day Dogs v North - No More Second Chances

    With a hard fixture coming home we have the apparent good fortune to have two games against the presumptive wooden spooners. However North, after many years of early draft picks and many missteps along the way, are finally starting to put together some good form. Last week they went down to...

    Review WB Mid Year Report 2024

    Well it's not exactly mid-year. We've already played 14 of our 23 H&A games. But the bye has finally arrived so it's a good time to reflect on the individuals on the list. I'll keep this OP as brief as I can, just to get the thing started. We can cut and dice it in the coming days. Anyway...

    Autopsy Mid Table Freo beats Mid Table Bulldogs 95-71

    We're just not very good are we? Can't put together two strong performances in a row.

    Game Day WB v Freo in the hot seat 7:40 Optus Stadium

    Another week and another side under the blowtorch. Freo have lost three straight and they folded unexpectedly in the local derby last week against supposed easybeats West Coast. Match form suggests we'll win this comfortably. Bookies had been suggesting home side Fremantle narrowly, but...

    Game Day WB vs Essendon R5

    Form and history say we should win this in a canter. Essendon are our bunnies. We are even coming off a game last week that we should have won against far better opposition than Essendon. The boys should be fired up. Our injury list is short. So why am I nervous? I guess it's just part of...

    Game Day LIVE - AFL 2023 Draftwatch for the WB

    National Draft starts at 7pm tonight. Get a full esky and get comfy. It's only the first round but it might take a few hours if the AFL has got anything to do with it. So we might as well have our own game day thread. For those who want to follow on the main board there's also the thread...

    Game Day WB v West Coast Rd 23 - the Ennui Round

    Round 23. This always used to be the final round but thanks to AFL marketing (Gather Round) we have another game to endure next week. And it's at Kat Park. Thanks, AFL. It's starting to feel like this mostly joyless season is already too long. So what is par today against the weakest West...

    Game Day. Rd 22. York Park Launceston. Hawthorn are no pushover especially at York Park/UTAS where they have played 77 times for 56 wins and 1 draw. Only 20 losses. We've played them there six times and only won twice - in 2008 and in Rd 23 last year. Win this and we're almost guaranteed...
