Must admit that even I was surprised at the bagging of player celebrations after the win by the ABC. Understood what they were saying but thought it was a bit harsh anyway.

Still, if I was Dockers fan, that performance would just leave me asking more questions - i.e. why can't they show that endeavour every week?

They should beat the Blues who are truly crap.

What is this bagging of player celebrations.


All they did was go to different parts of the ground to thank supporters and give away footballs (a tradition started this year and the Eagles players do it too), then meet up just before the race. As they have done every time they win at home. Every time since I started watching games at Subi.

Geez, whats next?

I'm tempted to ring the RSPCA and send them to the ABC studio, as Wal & Glen love kicking the hide of the dog when it is down. I understand now that the dog has lifted it's head and shown some life, these two boys are still kicking the rising dog.
The Dogs were actually pretty crap on the weekend....

Nah, it was a good scrap from the Dockers to win that one. Not a high standard game by anyones measure, but I think Freo exploited the chinks in the Dogs armour quite well, particularly the lack of height.

There were certainly still problems. Freo's style of play would best be described as .... haphazard, at least at times, and the efforts at clearances were not good; if Sandilands is going to just belt the ball into space, you need to have players that know he's going to do it - too many of those taps were sharked by the Bulldogs or at best 50/50.

Finally, that game was absolute proof that teams must have away strips. The Bulldogs' blue and Freo's Purple just aren't different enough, and with both teams also having red and white bits, they just weren't distinctive enough. I'm sure, particularly early in the game, that both teams were mistaking opponents for teammates, especially where they did beautiful passes direct to the opposition.

You remain The King. Your education programme really needs to be more aggressive - there are more and more of the BWT's appearing who really have no idea whatsoever how to do it properly.

I think some people have raised the bar too high. Sure we should be a lot higher on the ladder and the season to date has been extremely disappointing, but todays performance was pretty good. To win by 9 goals after trailing by 4 goals against a side that's been playing reasonable footy is a big win. We stuffed around with the ball too much and our skills were average, but the result on the scoreboard was good. I think Schammer, Hasleby, Peake, Cook, Headland, Crowley, Mundy, Murphy, McPharlin, Black, Dodd and Pavlich all had good games.
would say the bar has been lowered not raised that game was rubbish and i dont see much for the future while bo bo the clown is running the show.matthews hard tough player coaches players to be hard and tough like he played and win flags ....pussy player turns to coaching you end up with a team of pussies

Why don't you say what you really mean mathew LOL
mathews blight williams sheedy all played it hard and coached the same way and got the desired results it makes me sick to think that worsfold will be added to this list ...10 years living in hope and we have gone no where another 2 years of connolly and no results will see players like pav moving on to a club with premiership prospects which he has hinted at...so what i really mean is sack the coach

dont remember saying anythink about mathews loose it in the box you must be seeing things i bet you think we are on top of the ladder as well..i will give you a clue( last is not far away ).you need supporters like me to put the pressure on to force change and it will happen the sooner the better...if all supporters were happy little losers like you the club will be on the bottom for ever and a day..there is a country football club in victoria that has not won a game in 5 years you would be happy as a pig in s++t if you start following them
