i was pretty happy with our game weve definetly got the competetive part covered.

A few ifs n buts and we have been in with a reall chance.

A few dodgy handballs and coughed up kiks but conditions were shocking, overall im reasonably happy.

The frustrating part about todays game was that we had opportunities but just don't have the polish yet. It will just take time.

Yep, good call. Patience, patience. We'll have a new forward line soon, with prob only Miller to survive out of todays forwards, as a forward.

Watts wona maric robbo jurrah miller- now thats a forward line! ..how would Bailey feel after bragging about all the extra goal-kicking the boys had been doing.. tch tch. ;)

Before anyone complains about our skills, understand that the bloke who is our Vice Captain has the worse skills in the AFL. Also happens to be our highest paid player.

And the kids are meant to look up to that?

Disgraceful.

Morton was very average tonight with disposal. Newton doesn't value his goalkicking at all. PJ couldn't get the ball to stick all night and neither could Jones. My best were Davey Frawley McLean and Moloney

morton, bartram and jones all must be dropped and put back in the seconds to learn how to dispose of the ball...

Agreed!

AND

We are NOT last afterall: Freo still under us ( :wub: ) on the ladder. :lol:

And Sylvia stood up? :lol: :lol:

Yeah, actually he did.

He hit some targets with long penetrating kicks and layed some crunching tackles.

What did Bruce, the superstar vice captain do? Besides turn it over as usual.

Look forward to your answer....

Yeah, actually he (Sylvia) did.

Sylvia: 8k 11hb 4m 4t 3clangers

Bruce: 7k 19hb 4m 5t 2clangers

The conditions were terrible, the skills poor. It was always going to be a battle of attrition. The fundamental skills errors undermined the team effort. On days like this, those misses at goal really hurt. At no time did Adelaide crack us open. At no time did they run away the game. The players fought it out. It was a pity that we had no made more of our opportunities in front of goal. If had one goal then a 16 point deficit becomes a 10 point deficit and then it is definitely game on.

The Ox05 sums it up well.

Plus Bruce had 11 CONTESTED possessions. My 'nephew' went OK. Always in there trying his guts out.

Sorry Bobby, let me add the extras:

Sylvia: 8k 11hb 4m 4t 4 cont-poss 3clangers

Bruce: 7k 19hb 4m 5t 11 cont-poss 2clangers

I'm sure Sylvia will sleep well. :lol: :lol:

Thanks Brock_Machine

What I really don't get about yesterdays game was Adelaide's willingness to slow the game down and constantly have two players back. In a way, I guess we can take it as somewhat of a compliment - I don't think Craig was confident they could beat us on the MCG allowing us to play our normal style of football. I might be getting ahead of myself, but I think we had more instances of skill and good decision making than Adelaide today. They were terrible. However, our inability to counter their extra men back hurt us. The way to counter a flood is to slowly but surely make your way in. We just kept bombing it in. You can't play like that anymore. Thankfully, they did the same thing, and what the game ended up being was a game between two sides that just didn't know how to break each others defensive tactics.

ABC has some Woman commentating - very irritating :angry:

Yes, as we all know, the only place for women in football is washing jumpers and working in the canteen! How dare the ABC let this woman rise above her station and commentate! Because as we all know, there has never been an irritating male commentator, and women should stay out of this line of work because clearly we are inferior!

Posted

I think she's great, certainly has a bit of Gerard Whately in the way she describes the game.

Calls it well, I recognise her voice from a sporting show but I can't place it (ironically I can picture her face too)

About time footy provided a commentary position for a female, after all, about 50% of fans are female - and not just that, fair go. If she's earnt her spot then good on her

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
