AFL Round 12

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.

Treloar and Shiel are dominating this final quarter.

 

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.

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.

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

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.

Thanks rjay!

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

Amazes me how the Western Bulldogs continually escape media scrutiny

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

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.

Watson will likely face four weeks on the sidelines.

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

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.

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 :lol:


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.

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!

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
