Playing for the Stewart Magee Cup, crowd 26,549 First goal, the much maligned but back in town Mitch Wallis and the Chart topping Dogs get home by 25 points.
You can always tell when the dogs are going to struggle, firstly they don't go in hard for the ball. Secondly, they struggle up forward and thirdly too many clangers and fumbles and they are being killed on the break. But they can turn it around.
Alex Keith was fantastic, Bailey Smith and Bailey Williams very good, Tim English ran Jacobs ragged around the ground. The Bont did what the Bont does well and all in a great team performance. I do believe that Naughton has been sited for his bump, which is ridiculous.
I remember Scott Wynd's first couple of years and no one thought much of him, too skinny, will be knocked around, well he won a Brownlow in 1992, 4 years after his debut and English will be a star, 2 games into the season and you diehard experts are knocking him to the shithouse, look forward to...

Never easy when there is a persistent rumour that Toby McLean wants out. Apparently he and Bevo have had more than a few words and from my sources McLean has said he wants a trade at season end. One has to look at the calibre of players that have left since 2016. Stringer, Dalhouse, Roughead...
Gardner must be Terry DeKonning's love child. He has to be the worst player to ever don the red white and blue. Closely followed by Gowers. Only one or two good players, Dogs are 18th and deservedly so.
Game was lost on selection...yet again. Why does Beveridge persist in playing VFL non AFL standard players like Dale, Gardiner, Young. And leaves out proven players such as McLean, Richards and Dickson. Naughton is nowhere near ready, he showed the form of a player that has missed a chunk of...
Good win, typical losing coaching performance from Ross the Boss, when getting belted he concedes the game and tries to bore the hell out of us all. How he is still coach of Fremantle is beyond reason.
