Port beating Collingwood must be viewed as a non-negotiable. Collingwood’s form has been below expectation and Port’s form doesn’t indicate anything meaningful. If Port are truely on an upward trajectory they need to make a statement.

Kanes not wrong. one great win doesnt mean shit if you dont make finals and/or have another handful of embarrassing losses later in the season. consistency is the only thing that matters for the bulldogs now

There’s one word to describe the Doggies play. Fickle. Brilliant one week and crap the next.

Kingy saying dale getting dropped the week before was the soul reason for him playing so well is a massive cope lol

Cornes is spot on. Bevo is not the man to lead the dogs to the promised land. He's had his time. See ya bevo.

Why are the saints not in the conversation with hawthorn and north in respect to experience. There playing 22’s have been below the 4th youngest in each round this season and yet they are held to far higher standard.

I agree with Cornes as a dogs supporter. the likes of vandermear in our side should be replaced by Daniel. as the link from half forward into the forward line. I know a lot of people are saying this game solidified naughton as a forward but I think the team balance would still be better with him at half back. Just like how this week freo will play Jackson forward.

lol why is the afl media terrified to criticise Lyon like they criticise all other coaches

Not sure Kingy has a leg to stand on arguing Bulldogs selection with Kane, c’mon Kingy, Bramble v Daniel, really?? Lay down misere…despite what all the Vics think, Kanes receipts would look pretty good, right more than wrong

❤respect another formative fun show sir kingy and sir chad respect❤

Don't write of the bulldogs EVER. Remember the 2021 preliminary final against Port? Absolutely no one picked them to win that game, but they flogged Port.

There is no team that has been as inconsistent as the Bulldogs and the coach is to blame.

Why is Hinkley not criticised? 12 seasons as senior coach without a grand final appearance. Has any senior coach lasted that long? At least Bevo has overseen one flag, one runners up and a few finals campaign. Everybody knows how Kane operates so it’s predictable

spot on kane. the team with a top 4 list beat a crap team and all the vultures acting like the coach is good?

Funny how kingy didn't go on about the cauldron and response when essendon bounced back last week

Next 4-6 weeks will find out a lot about Geelong, Carlton and Sydney. Im not ready to throw Collingwood or Brisbane away from flag favourite yet. Port and Melbourne look a bit shaky in finals but should put themselves there again..

so if bulldogs are rated THAT highly by korn, we should put more pressure on port powers underachieving list and their Long in the tooth coach.

Looking at North's core/future players, it's no wonder they struggle to put full games together and Clarkson has said it many times. Larkey - 25yo and 99 games Xerri - 25yo and 35 games LDU - 24yo and 90 games Powell - 22yo and 50 games Biggie (early call) 22yo and 2 games Curtis - 21yo and 41 games Phillips - 21yo and 32 games Sheezel - 19yo and 28 games Wardlaw - 19yo and 13 games McKercher - 19yo and 5 games Duursma - 18yo and 5 games They lost Tarryn Thomas before round 1, lost Logue for the first half of the season before round 1, lost Pink for the season in round 1 and lost CCJ for the season in round 3. Then add possibly the "hardest first 5 rounds" coming up against the Giants, Freo, Blues, Lions and Cats. None of that can help a team that has finished bottom 2 for the last 4 seasons.

As a long long fan of the Doggies. I agree with Kane. I thought it for a while. I think Bevo should be honored but he needs to move on. The way he has dealt with Jackson McCrae tells you more than Bailey Dale. Just look where Bevo has put Macrae each week and notice when the clearances have been down. Jackson is an effective supply player to the forwards. The only reason Doggies lost to top placed Geeling was because Bevo put McCrae as sub? The confidence building win against Cats would have helped. The reason the win was so big against the Saints was because Bevo didn't have much to stuff up... With Jamara out and Libba he had to play McCrae in the clearances and forced into the potential forward line contest. They play better without Libba and Jamara as central. Jamara should be on the wing and Libba as a moving tagger

On the Doggies, if you're going to make moves to challenge players like Dale, Lobb, etc... you do it early in the year and you demand they get into good form. The issue with the team has been consistency... and if you get that from key veterans, that's a good starting point. The Doggies may battle with consistent play from role players, especially at high flanks and wingers. But I think with St. Kilda, they found some answers. The issue with Bevo is that he sometimes tinkers with the list too much to the detriment of getting consistent play.

Wonder if this should be considered in light of Bevo's comments after last week's game (something about selections against Essendon being more about this week).

Soooo Kane can't lose. Dogs win or lose, he's right. Of course...

Kane bang on the money (as he is more often than not…).

No interest in the Derby?

I reckon the bloke has been a dsignificant coaching under-performer considering his list, but geez, that reconfiguration of the side last night was impressive. The forward line looked a LOT more dynamic WITHOUT Ugle-Hagan. Question mark is the opponent, StKilda looked very flat.

He shits on Bevo who has been to two GFs and won 1 whilst simultaneously defending the perennial pretender Port and Ken. Im a tiges man but how is this possibly fair?

Dale was in horrible form before last night - him becoming the sub was completely justified, you can't blame Bevo for that

without a doubt they can be top four

It is easy to criticize decisions when you know the outcome. Kane saw the outcome of a player kicking out of bounds 3 times but Bevo didn't know the outcome when deciding who to play, maybe that player ripped it up through the week at training and looked the best on the track. You can't judge a decision after the fact without "getting into the tunnel" with the person to see what they saw and know what they knew at the time they made the decision. If you gave any coach a crystal ball and they saw a dud game from a star player and asked them if they would play them, or course they will say no.

Kane is definitely right on the doggies

Is Beveridge building a squad of 30 and lets see who is standing at the end of the season

Beveridge has taken one of the financially poorest clubs in the AFL to a premiership and runner up in 7 years. Just look what happened to North Melboure after Brad Scott, years at the bottom. Kane's assessment of the list is fanciful, hasnt had a winner in the back 6 for years, totally reliant on midfield/forward. I wouldnt be going for Kane's old untried Port mate who has never been a senior coach too.

Very clever Kornes, moving himself into a position where he can't be wrong - Bulldogs play well, Kane's right, Bulldogs lose, Kane's right. Makes you wonder how to tell the difference between who's performing, players or coach...

did you have the dogs in the top eight with your preseason predictions?? no one, crickets.....

Give yourself an uppercut on the way to work hahahaha love that kingly 😂

Once Kane has someone on his hate meter nothing changes his mind

Kane not changing his mind????? Whaaaaaaaat????

The dogs list is easily worthy of finals, if they dont make it the criticism is absolutely justified. They have the highest performing midfield, a couple of great intercept backman now and a stacked forwardline

seven teams who should make the finals gws geelong collingwood brisbane carlton sydney melbourne against teams that may get a spot in the 8 port power crows suns saints bulldogs essendon. freo how many of these teams are good enough to knock off the top teams to make the 8.

It is more about how crap the aints are than the dogs🤔

Don't care about the Doggies at all but I'm glad they made the legacy media's coverage look so wrong. Awaiting the same treatment for Adelaide IF they lose to Essendon tonight.

King definitely hates the cats flog

you helped promote boxing during the gather round in afl media, should the issue be as big as korn wants to make it. punch me on the field or in the ring but dont knee me whilst marking the ball.

Could you imagine Cornes as a Coach? He'd be constantly in the bottom four

Kane Cornes, you're the same one who was talking about useless stats and kickins shouldn't be stats but then when its suits his argument all of a sudden it's 'Bailey Dale has 39'. lol

Kane corner has never coached....and it shows ..cornes would drop players after one bad game ....cornes is clueless

the dees smash the dogs most of the time.
