THE RAT'S CLACKER CUP

Featured Replies

 

I'm very confident that MFC will win this one. (Famous last words?)

If not, the Club should change its theme song to The End. (For all the youngies, it's a song by The Doors.)

 

Our treatment of Toumpas has been terrible and it continues. What are our development plans for players? What is going on at this football club?

How does Watts put in two shockers, get dropped, not play anywhere and then return straight away?!

Poor Jimmy, he must be a bit disheartened and probably pretty confused. Especially when guys like Sylvia get selected week in week out.

This week has reminded me of BH's line - this club gives me nothing.

Because Slyvia has had more impact on the three games played so far this year than Toumpas has!

FWIW, and file under "unconfirmed", but was wondering why he wasn't listed anywhere:

"The reason Dom Barry was not named at Casey this weekend is because he is under a club imposed ban. He got home at 5am after the North Ballarat game."

So the club is again derelict in it's duty to develop young players! How could they have not provided Dom with a Sat Nav so he could findhis way back to Melbourne is a disgrace!

ooohhh right.... Col's fault or was he sporting a beard and got locked up in Ballarat?


Im just hoping for a win. I dont care that its GWS. After this week we just need something good to happen. I want the new guys to have a win and for Neeldy as well.

If we lose I cannot even fathom what next week will be like. I think id just dig a hole and bury myself in it.

Simple really - supporters typically base selection each week on viewing 120 minutes of footy from the week before, quite often on Foxtel.

Match committees at all AFL clubs, however, also take other things into consideration when selecting sides each week. For instance, they also look at how players train ALL week as something relevant to team selection - not something that most of us get line of sight on.

Regardless the treatment and the handling of Watts is another bad judgement call by Neeld.

Still getting high on Neeld's bruise free football Ron?

On the Casey game thread, someone posted that they spoke with Dom and he said he has a hamstring problem.

Dont want to make this a Jack Watts thread but I wonder why they havent played him on a wing where he can drift back and forward to provide the extra man in defence and an additional target up forward. He does seem to have pace and does have an excellent sense of creating space. If his teammates looked for him and worked off him he could perhaps get his confidence back and regain his skills which have been so noticeably affected

I tend to agree that If he showed the committment to run hard both ways the wing in a role similar to what Richo played late would be his best position for the side. If he is willing to work it is hard to tag a player of his size.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • 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.
