The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Featured Replies

The Good

Jones. Again.

The crowd booing Scully. And thanks guys who were brave enough to bring banners. Well done.

Our short kicking/passing.

Dunn's torpedo from full back.

A new, developing defensive back six including Frawley, Watts, McDonald, Sellar, Dunn who all played through there and it looked strong

Rivers and Garland forward

The crowd booing Scully

Clark's attack on the ball.

Nicholson. I have had a number of goes at him this year for his disposal but he is quickly proving me wrong.

Watts contested marking.

Grimes' run and carry. And his kicking is improving.

Did I mention the crowd booing Scully?

The Bad

Jones' two brain-fades in the first quarter.

That first oh-so-easy goal to GWS.

Some of Tom McDonald's fumbling.

Allowing GWS midfielders to sprint away from stoppages in the 1st quarter.

Clark injured again.

The Ugly

The crowd. Although I did not expect any more than 20,000

Seeing Junior in a GWS jumper. This remains a real sore point for me.

 

Ugly: Four of their five first quarter goals came directly from our poor skills. If we hadn't made those crappy turnovers for no apparent reason it would have been a truly spectacular mauling.

Good: Dunn's chase down and resulting free.

Good: Dunn's chase down and resulting free.

Yes, that was an absolute cracker. Dunn showed a bit today.

Im Tom McDonald biggest critic, but the kid tore it up today.

He adds A LOT of run, looks a real player, dominated Cameron to the point where

Sheedy had to throw him down back to stop the flow.


Good: Jones, Clark, Jamar, defenders kicking goals, Sylvia bursting through packs. Davey looking better. Blease's goal. Watts. Dunny's torp. Sellar. JT's last quarter mark.

Bad: Magner's first half. Tom Mc Donald's disposal, Clark's injury, Brent Moloney.

Ugly: $cully family.

Good: The watts mark from opposition kick, then the break away run down the wing, then the pinpoint pass to Trengove......just great!! He's going to be a really good player.....

Bad: The Mitch Clark injury... And GWS...

Ugly: The AFL.... For there response to banners from Demon fans.......

Good. Tom McDonald today looked like he will make a very good player. Watts was my highlight. He has so much poise and class. We are starting to see the champ he will be.

 

What I liked was when a player contributed to a goal, a load of players came over for congrats, even if the goal was a couple of moves on, great team spirit shown today been missing earlier


The Good

The fact that we smashed them after that slow start

A certain ex-player may well thank God that he got money because he got a taste of how far away success is for him

The Bad

Mitch the Incredible's early exit... Was Buddy like early on

The Ugly

Our obvious instruction to play on at all costs through the middle... Sometimes you are better off to settle and lift your eyes

the ugly - sam blease's tackle on the members side, spun the guy at least 540, possibly more and still didnt get holding the ball. not sure what we have to do to get a holding the ball.

Good:

Dunny was surprisingly good across the whole game today. Watching him closely in one-out marking contests, he is veeery clever with his body position. Might have promoted himself off the sub bench for a few games.

Clarky - superb before the injury.

Wattsy, Jonesy, Riv, T.Macca, Nicho.

Scoring 7 goals from former defenders - Rivers and Garlo.

Bad:

Moloney today.

Ugly:

The Hare Krisha gits in the GWS squad. Must be paid handsomely by Vlad to wear that kind of crap.

And Sheedy - the main reason I replied to this thread in the first place, then forgot to include the Master P_ick in the first reply.A real ugly moron.

We get plenty of holding the ball calls - against us.

Good

The goal by Blease on his left foot on the run on the boundary line.

Run from Tom McD out of defence.

Having Rivers, Clarke, Garland and Howe as marking options forward.

Bad

Missed marks and targets from Grimes

Ugly

Dominance from Russian with takeways by GWS?

Sylvia running into goal not spotting up Davey and missing his shot.


Good

The goal by Blease on his left foot on the run on the boundary line.

Why has more not been made of this? That goal was an absolute screamer!

But wasn't it a great tackle?!

He's a fearless little goer the little fella, can't wait for him to have Viney pumping handballs to him for the next decade.

And he is refreshingly arrogant with what he tries to do on the field.

Because he didn't mean to do it, and from the sheepish look on his face I think similar decisions to go for goal have landed him in hot water in recent games...

Still an ace goal.

One commentator reckoned he was trying to centre the kick.........as a 1 eyed Dee fan I reckon he kicked for goal.

Fair call - I obviously wasn't watching that closely. I thought he was in space and had a ping. Hahaha - I'd be saying 'meant it'

And when Magner outbodied whoever it was and was waltzing in to goal, pinged for in the back.

Blatantly wrong.

The turnover rate seemed a bit lower yesterday. No Cales fails.

I would never have guessed!

 

The Good

We won a game we should have won

The Bad

First 15mins of the game, we were woeful.

The Ugly

Brent Moloney, what is going on with you, I had you pencilled in for 3 Brownlow votes in this game but you were close to our worst on ground

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
