Great photo.

While Pedersen is behind Ebert, Pittard is not far behind Pedersen, and could easily be Pedersen's man, but Ped is coming to pick up the loose Ebert.

Can't tell from a photo.

No excuse Lynden Dunn, and Sylvia has been comprehensively out positioned by Hartlett (who is a star, btw).

...but his stats show that he 'won' 35 hitouts and is 4th in the competition!!!

Which just shows how useless is that particular stat - I don't recall even one resulting in a clearance.

There is a stat "Hit-Outs to Advantage" recorded by Champion Data however they refuse to release this info publicly and none of the media sources seem to think analytical stats are worthwhile. Suffice to say his stats in that area would be well below 4th. When we re-signed him last year for 3 years I though it was a huge mistake and I stick by that. 3 years for a bloke who has had one passable season in his 10 year career - ridiculous.

Just maybe the problem and the solution is the centre square setups and the midfield coach Choco Royal?

Why didn't Jamar tap it back if our mids were behind their Port opponents? Tapping it to your feet is never going to provide clearances.

Where were the coaches and Craig at quarter time to instruct Jamar where to tap the ball?

Why did the defence 6 have huddle after every goal scored against them? Whatever the reason it didn't do any good.

we don't need photos to prove that our midfield have no idea on how to position themselves at the bounce either offensively or defensively

they have been clueless at this for years

what does brian royal bring to the table? Nothing.

our most important line needs the best line coach the club can get

Jamar is the problem? Seriously, he was one of our best, at least he knew where abouts to move on the ground and provided some contests.

there's a difference between knowing where to go and actually getting there... Every one of the 6 Dees supporters I was watching the game with were in a mix of laughter and tears at his "efforts" to get to contests...

    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
