Jordie is playing Ablett better than most players have all year.

Or, do you not even know who he is playing on?

Can't kick, can't handball unless its to a player hotter than himself and lacks composure but yeah... He can tag a player ill give him that.

As soon as Jordie goes off Ablett, Nicho goes onto him and Ablett racks the ball up at will - and HURTS us!!

Mate, no disrespect, but you have no idea about football if you believe McKenzie is having a bad game tonight.

He is playing on the best midfielder in the history of the game and shutting him out, all the touches Ablett has are when Jordie is having a breather.

Keep in mind, I am McKenzies biggest critic, but credit where credie is due, Jordie has been one of our most important players tonight.

That was my 2nd favourite quarter of the year.

Year they got a run on, but I can't remember is regaining composite like that at any other stage. We changed or structure and style, stopped pushing so hard and started holding the ball. Released players for the switch.

We actually played smart football. And if we have kicked straight at the end we'd be in front*.

*the same goes for them in the first half of the quarter.

But Watts has kicked two goals...is he playing HBF?

Yep. His first goal came before he was moved back where is now playing as the loose man. His second goal he had acres of space running off HB. Quality finish after almost fluffing it.

Loving the stuff from our younger boys:

Viney (11 touches in first Q)

Kent (showing up Blease)

Clisby (great offensively)

Strauss (Great offensively and has laid some good tackles)

Tappy (attacks every contest and is a good lead up player)

Watts (Watts is finally a man - he now has balls)

We are spreading in the middle and taking the game on.

The umpires are a joke tho and the commentators are trying to find any excuse possible to explain why Ablett doesn't have 30 touches already.

That was the arsiest goal of the year from Watts. Still great composure to slot it from 50 under pressure.

Loved Kent's attack on the ball. Might get a game on the sidelines, but well worth it.

Jack Viney is great in close and frees up Jones a little.

Jordie is doing a great job tagging.

All in all, it could be worse.

    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
