GAME DAY - Round 11



Recommended Posts

Cross has been super impressive in the air all year.

Great guy for Toumpas to learn from.

I'm busy today so I can't watch the game and have been checking in on the afl.com.au match centre commentary. I'm extremely confused by this update:

  • Q1 17:40

    A swing and a miss for Dawes as Lobbe annoys him to the point of frustration. If there was any connection there Dawes would be on a long enforced holiday.

Do we have another Dawes? Or does Port have a player also named Dawes punching on with his own teammate? Or is it breaking out in the stands? WHAT AM I MISSING HERE?

It was Jamar

That "punch" was from Jamar.

The heat from the sun and the Power's run could make for a very, very ugly last quarter.

Umpiring is absolutely PATHETIC. JKH being manhandled and held all over the place, not getting any free kicks despite being impossible for him to mark anything.

[censored] joke umps.

Agreed.

That 25 metre pass that the umpire called "play-on" for not being long enough (before the ball was even marked) and the inconsistency of the hands in the back have been a disgrace.

And are Port the league leaders in staging? Monfries is the Laurence Olivier of theatrics, and that Viney "swing" barely touched the Port player, yet he grabbed his chest as if he'd been punched square in the gut.

Flogs.

Cross and Dunn were good down back.

Kennedy Harris is one of those rare players - where he just looks dangerous everytime it comes near him.

I watch Kennedy Harris and expect him to win every contest, it is the sign of a great player.

Salem a good start with 5 kicks for the quarter.

Good to see Jamar throwing his weight around.

Grimes needs to chase with more intensity, he jogged after a kick in and lost it, he jogged after his player then realised he was going to go for goal so started to chase all too late, very little tackling and damn too slow to move the ball. wasted opportunities. Having said that some positives gawns goal, pederson has been good. Hopefully they will settle down now and play better football than the first half of that quarter.

Dunn is saving our backside, Watts looks good on the open ground and I wouldn't be banging on about Jetta on Wingard yet. Chad can get goals very quickly.

I'm so sick of umpires missing clear free kicks in general pay then paying RIDICULOUS holding the ball's at random intervals (ALWAYS against us too).

Port deserve to be winning but I think 20 point lead flatters them. We have played pretty well after the early avalanche.

JKH is all class.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
