Damn, watching the way the hawks are playing tonight, glad our boys aren't taking them on.

The words spoken by Roos last week about the gulf between the top teams and the bottom is very scary!

... and Cheney playing on Pav and doing a damn good job! *sigh*

 

Shows a couple interesting things. First is wow the hawks are a great team and I'm scared to play them. The second point is how injuries ( or suspensions) to key players destroy teams. I tipped freo for the flag and still have faith if they get there they will give it a shot.

Can we just give Hawthorn the flag and end this shitty season?

 

See ya Chip...he'd be getting- top coin, top team, top culture.

Here's the key point. Skill level and decision making. Their skill level and ability to run to the right positions, making it easier for their players to find them, is just sublime. That's the main reason we are so terrible. People keep saying that our "effort" isn't good enough. I actually thought our "effort" was ok last week (the contested ball stats give you an idea on that). You can try as hard as you like but if you fumble, don't dispose of the footy properly or take the wrong option, you'll get smashed. And that's why we got beaten by 90 points.


The disposal difference is amazing

Says a lot about Col's current form that he couldn't manage a run in a severely depleted Freo team.

 

Makes us look ok. Freo missing 2 key players and they fall apart. We're missing a forward line and our best defender.

...but yep the Hawks ball movement is good. Hale is really doing a job on big Sandy in the middle, he beats him, nullifies his hit or sharks it and kicks forward.

This is why I love to watch the Hawks, even if I don't particularly like the club. They are so damn skillful, the patterns they run are amazing and they always seem to have another player to plug into the system when they have someone out.

I remember when the hawks were playing like us, couldn't kick, or handball, shepard teammates or kick goals.

Now look at them.

Amazing transformation.

I still have faith that we can get there it's just that we are so dam frustrated cause it's taking longer than we thought and we are starting all over again this season the 8 "new beginning" so to speak.

We will get there (hopefully before I'm dead)

Go dees

missing buddy - not

They are actually better without him. More balanced.

The Swanettes made a very big call!


If Hawthorn makes Freo look like Melbourne what will they make us look like?

Interesting .....

Freo without confidence are making the same stupid errors that we saw last week

They may as well engrave Hawthorn on the cup now... 10 different goal scorers in each of the first three games of the season; how do you counter that?

They may as well engrave Hawthorn on the cup now...

Cool. As long as we get to keep the 2005 premiership cup that was being engraved for us after Round 3.

Seeing Hawthorn play, they are in another league. We must take on at least 3 of their habits

1. 2nd and 3rd efforts. Scrap, bump, stay on your feet.

2. Tackling hard and physical to create pressure and turnovers

3. kicking to the Hot Spot ... 15 metres in front of goals. They all know where the ball is going. None of this leading to the boubdary line rubbish.

I still think we can change in one season. Roos must work out our skills are average and play a different style.


Freo were undermanned this evening, Barlow and Fyfe in particular.

They will be around when the whips are cracking.

Not that much, you wouldn't want to be relying on 2 or 3 players.

Hawthorn had more missing, they cover it better.

If you were going to pick the Grand Finalists now it would probably be Hawthorn v West Coast/ Port...but it's a long season ahead

Buddy leaving was the best thing to happen to them

His contract will kill the Swans for the next decade and maybe longer

The Haws are dominating and will have plenty of cash to spend this FA period

Scary

Yep. Couldn't have put it better myself.

Watch as the AFL creates a way to bail Sydney out when Buddy retires in 4-5 years.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
