Post Match Discussion - Round 12 (never in doubt)


Demonland

Recommended Posts

My 12 year old son and I just love watching the work of Angus Brayshaw. His attack on the player and the ball is amazing. We've begun to just call him "The Bull". A wonderful mix of skill and aggression, and he is so no fuss about it. Mature beyond his years.

Hopefully we have 10-15 awesome years of watching this star.

Watching the replay. Who'd have thought I couldn't wait for it to come on :)

I feel like some players are being coached really well to play to their strengths. Wattsy has been given permission to get caught with the ball, because they know he's hard to bring down because he's tall, he can get his hands clear, and because his disposal is genuinely clean. As a result our players are learning to know he'll stand up in a tackle and to run off him. Created goals today because of it. Consistency and playing together will always make a better team, and we are only at the start.

So happy for the boys.

well

ANB =. The other small forward we needed.

well tyson was named in the best list at AFL .com so could have played alright then, nothing wrong with him.

I think 186 is dead and buried, it should never be said again.

A very happy day. The Dees beat the [censored] and my daughter is about to give birth to a grandson. Not sure which I'm more excited about. Don't tell my wife I said that.

The whisky tastes good! A fresh bottle bought yesterday to wet the baby's head - not sure there's going to be much left. Ah well, there's always beer or champers.

It's a clear and balmy 4 degrees on the golden plains, cigar in hand, stars shinning in the sky.

I don't even give a [censored] about work tomorrow other than I'll be on the Geelong line Melbourne scarf and hat for all to see!

Could someone let me know how Watts was today?

Watts was really good again today. Makes the right decisions and rarely misses targets. And his physicality is improving.

If I say [censored] cats, does that get censored?

It IS hard to believe. A very very rare talent. He is a one touch handler with no preferred foot. I particularly love that he lopes like he's stuffed, then BANG!, he's gone and the ball's suddenly in the forward line in a teammates hands. As pure a footballer as I think I've ever seen.

Good call.

Was talking to my Dees mad nephew after the game, and was trying to explain to him that I see Robert Harvey in Brayshaw. He had no idea, but was [censored] anyay, so all good.

I like the fact that Watts seems to have taken the next step with his game.

I liked the fact that in the last qtr when he slipped off a tackle he put in a second effort which affected the kick of Motlop (I think) at goal.

Was good to c and I am really encourage by his last 3 weeks.

Keep it going.

This is the point - they're beginning to trust each other & play to each other's strengths.

And Gawn has made a massive difference in giving us first use of the ball at clearances. Has a huge upside when he can run out a full game.

Going to have a big clash with NicNat.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
