GAME DAY - Round 18

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

I don't have fox but for me it sounds like we are falling down again up forward both in contested marking capability and once the ball hits the deck. They seem to get it way too often without anough pressure or any crumbers on our part

[Seraph 1,824]

WOW.

[jazza 1,323]

AKA he is doing better than I said so I will attempt to lessen what he is doing.

Havent changed my opinion of the soffkock for 3 years.

[demon4eva 110]

The umpires are killing us"

[Chook 15,013]

The holding the ball rule though is fundamentally flawed. Players should be allowed to go for the ball unimpeded by fears that players who are second to the ball will hold it to them just to get a free kick.

[Demon Blood 46]

Makes contact with the head but he got the ball... Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Would think jack was pretty stiff as it looks as if the force of the ball hitting his hand knocks his hand/arm into wingards face.

[T-34 409]

Havent changed my opinion of the soffkock for 3 years.

Says more about you than him.

[demonique 314]

Twats can't even pump up

The balls

[Deemotivated 550]

We've got to stop gifting teams 30 point leads and then trying our butts off to play catch up!!

The player tackling should never be awarded a free kick once he loses his feet and goes to ground beside or on top of the guy who got the ball first.

The tackler MUST keep his feet to be awarded holding the ball IMO.

Once the 3rd man enters the contest it should be automatic ball up....never holding the ball.

Umpiring is disgraceful.

[deeflog 679]

I would love to see Howe moved forward for this last qtr, really try and stretch their back line

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Umpiring is disgraceful.

This is a given when playing any interstate team and has been for years.

The umps tend to always ensure the home team has at least a 3 to 4 goal lead going into the break.....then ease off a little in the 2nd half to make things look more respectable.

[Deemotivated 550]

FFS... Kick the ball between the tall posts!!!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Dunn disposed of the ball then, the umpire blew his whistle about 0.01 seconds after he was tackled.

That tappy miss hurts

[Buzzy 992]

I'm liking Jetta's work today.

Yep....Watts across half back to clean up the disposals "FORWARD" of play as first option which he is good at. Get the pill moving forward as quickly as possible to put the opposition under pressure and create opportunities with run and carry.

Howe up forward to take the odd specky and kick a goal or two

[Chook 15,013]

Tappy may have done a knee. Hopefully it's just a jarring injury and not a ligament problem. It if is, that may be the end of his AFL career.

[Buzzy 992]

Yep Howe playing one kick forward of the play would be great right now. We just need to force one one ones up forward, don't let them have loose blokes in defence now!

[dee-luded 2,959]

You know who invented the Jack Watts as creative defender role? Mark Neeld. It's Jack's best position because he's not particularly good at winning his own ball, and in the backline he has the space to get the ball from his teammates.

that's why e's a wing attack. he should be starting from the wing. receive from the insiders.

[Deemotivated 550]

Nothing to lose by mixing it up. Cmon boys!!!

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Anthony Hudson asks "was it high?" while the Port player has his arm around Grimes' neck.

[red and blue forever 1,029]

ouch

[Buzzy 992]

KENT. oh god. FFS Frawley
