AFL Round 12

[Nasher 33,617]

Enjoying the Stefan Martin Experience do his best impersonation of a footballer reborn. He always seemed to me to that he should've been a better player than he was, hopefully he's able to keep it up.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Watching tonight's matches is more torturous than water boarding.

All 4 teams are shithouse, especially GWS. Bunch of soft, effortless, staging fools. And we will slaughter Essendon next week, they play with absolutely no pride.

[Adam The God 30,614]

Treloar and Shiel are dominating this final quarter.

[rjay 25,307]

i know what you mean rjay. But look at the dogs list. It's bog ordinary. We are improving yes but i am just a little conceerned that we are over hyping ourselves at this point.

Monday is important to keep rising i agree.

I hope the players aren't buying in to the over hyping 'wyl', if they are we're in for a long day on Monday.

This is a bloke who (when fully fit) was jumping on Justin Kozitchkie's head at centre bounces. He has all the athleticism to be a fantastic footballer. I don't know why he hasn't really come on like I thought he would.

absolutely. We have made big steps. But to over cook it would be a big hit.

I do have confidence in Roos to balance it out.

A very intelligent man but next to no football intelligence.

Bombers might be without Watson for next week.

What happened? I didn't get to watch the game

[rjay 25,307]

What happened? I didn't get to watch the game

Looks to be a hip flexor, they're reporting it as a quad but the physio was doing a lot of work on his side and he struggled to put any weight on one side of his body. Happened late in the game. Either way he will be out for a while.

...but, lets take it one week at a time.

[Adam The God 30,614]

Watson will likely face four weeks on the sidelines.

the karma train continues to roll for the drug cheats

Nothing will give me more pleasure than to smash them next week... but lets worry about smashing the Pies first

Thanks rjay!

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

I doubt he will be right to play us in any case so that helps

[Sir Why You Little 37,310]

Amazes me how the Western Bulldogs continually escape media scrutiny

that all ended this morning. Talk back radio meltdown from the west...

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Doggies don't seem on the up to me, stagnating already.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Doggies don't seem on the up to me, stagnating already.

And it's still the same problems. No forward line. No back line. Crameri was a desperation signing and someone who thrived at Essendon with taller players around him to take the pressure off. Now he is being found out more often than not, and the famed Doggies midfield has once again no one to kick the ball to. Until they address these areas, either through free agency or the draft, they will continue to be a bottom four team.

Myers might face the same fate but not through injury! Let's hope that we we field a full team next week.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Pretty confident we'll slaughter them next week, regardless of what happens tomorrow. Essendon haven't convincingly won a game since the first 3 rounds, and with Daniher their only real forward target (who will easily be negated by TMac or Dunn), they'll really struggle to score anything. As it is they only scored what, 80, against the worst team in the comp?

They also seem to crumble under defensive pressure, and they won't have Jobe out there to lead the way either.

[PJ_12345 1,098]

Bit disappointing Essendon has an 8 day break compared to our 6, but I still feel comfortable we should get up... Essendon has been giving Melbourne coaches hope since 2010

[SaberFang 7,151]

There would be more than a touch of irony if the Mark Neeld coached Demons could beat the Bombers but not the Paul Roos coached Dees.

Roos has coached against Bomber plenty of times though, pretty confident he knows by now how to shut him down.

[DemonOX 8,837]

Good to c Stef Martin have a good game after so many injuries.

Good luck to him except when we play them.

Yes DemonOx I was happy to see him in the best players.

did not see the game.

Had a soft spot for Stef always thought he would have come on if he had been in a decent side where he did not have to star every week.

Hope he continues on and plays well for the Lions.

It's interesting Gnasher. You look at Steph and would reckon he was a natural (although his overhead marking was dubious) and he did play some great footy for us. (Remember Essendrug). What is it separates blokes who appear to have all the physical attributes and yet fail to make a consistent impact from those who become players? Must be what goes on up top?

If only you could bottle it!

[SaberFang 7,151]

My god Adelaide are a thoroughly average football side.
