finding it hard to raise any enthusdiam on this one.

To be honest as so much occurred up the foggy end I found it hard to tell who was who at times..

I'll just chime in with an overview efoort.

Some of this disturbs me..lol.

Ooze did shine amongst that lot..that alone says it all really :blink: He was one of the few to actually manage any effect 6/10

I thought Johnson played a very honest game..he didnt get a lot of help did he. 7/10

Garland tried valiantly even if (again ) little support 6/10

what did come came from Matty W..who also seems to be improving..some of his decisions are well..hmm...could be better 5/10

again this irks me . If Im mentioning him, we're not going to well. Frosty actually does seem to be attempting to change his game 5/10 for effort. Stop looking to keep it half way backwards now , is this his new trade mark in stead of handball?? Get rid of it son.. otherwise..carry on with attempted transformation.

Aussie. tried hard all day I felt.Why wasnt he brought on the ball much earlier. He was wasted yesterday. 5/10

were any others really playing.. I couldnt tell..not until Brocky came on wearing his Jammies!!

Not Baters best day.

If most of them are going to play like that..stay home.. I could have !!

I am interested in everyone's assessment of Dunn. From what i can gather, he is being given a tagging role.

With Junior nearing the end, we have no midfield taggers, as Bartram tends to tag half backs/forwards, and is not physically up to tagging bigger midfielders. Every gun side in this competetion have at least a couple of stoppers on their team, and some of them early on in their careers never got much of the pill when they where applying themselves to this role(Kirk, Sewell, Rawlings, Cornes, etc).

Dunn tagged Hayes on Sunday, and i think you could mount an argument that out of all the Saints midfiedlers, Hayes had little influence. Although in the context of a 79 point drubbing in which we were smashed in the middle, it means little.

My point is though, no matter where we all think Dunn should be played, or how he should be played, if he has been given instructions from the coach to go out and try to stop an opposing influential midfielder, then he should be judged on that shouldn't he?

Early on I noticed one of our players give a handball but not run on to shepherd.

I thought this a bit strange so I made a point of keeping my eyes on the person giving the handball.

I was shocked to see that this happened a number of times.

This is something very basic as it gives the ball carrier an extra few metres.

Did anyone else notice this

Been doing to the exact same thing all year. Nothing surprising there

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
