If anyone beats Jacob Weitering in this year's NAB Rising Star then he will be an amazing footballer.

Christian and Clarry say Hi !!

 

Looks like the recent draft's pointy end has delivered some real class if Weitering and Oliver are anything to go by.

If any club desperately needs a reality check this year it's Richmond. They are in deadset lala land talking premierships and "age of supremacy". Until they and the well-wishing media stop kidding themselves about the quality of their list, they're going nowhere. Hardwick can say he believes in the players all he likes. It doesn't magically make them any better.

Carlton should've won that game. They seemingly won't be walk overs this season.

Bolton has given Carlton a very basic plan to work with so that they can compete in games.  They are basically playing 1-1 defensively then when they get the ball they do a quick switch to the open wing and run like hell to provide options ahead of the ball.  Tonight showed that it is an effective way to keep in the game, but they didn't have the class to finish the job.  A lot of their ball movement into the forward 50 reminded me of Melbourne 2 years ago when our only plan of attack was the high long bomb and hope like hell someone marked it.  I'm fairly sure we'll see them get smashed by the better sides in much the same manner as well. 

Richmond on the other hand showed us that they are still weak in the same areas.  They don't like physical pressure.  If a team sits off them they can execute freely, but if you hit them hard and don't give them room to breath they tend to fall apart.  Should be very interesting when we play them.  Our game right now could have been designed specifically to upset them. 

On to more important matters now.  How good were the Socceroos tonight?   7-0, and could easily have been 10 or more goals if we hadn't hit the post so often.  We saw a number of our younger players stepping up and showing that they are ready to take up spots in the starting side as well.  Talk about developing depth, we have half a dozen world class attacking mids fighting for three spots, a ready replacement for Timmy Cahil about ready to go and two captains who are basically clones sharing the defensive mid duties.  The only real issue the side has is settling the right and left back spots.  Really looking forward to Tuesday Night. 

I am not as sold on Luongo as others are, but he definitely goes ok. Rogic and Mooy on the other hand are potentially world class footballers. Rogic just needs to keep his body right and get fit. And Mooy is ready to move to a big league.

Anyway, wrong sport.

Kind of agree on Luongo.  I think his spot in the side is in danger with Rogic and Mooy improving.  I am wondering if Mooy won't find his way to Man City some time soon too.  He's certainly ready to step up to a better league.

Have watched League, Union (which I do enjoy) and now the round ball. Good to see the AFL ahead of the curve in playing games on Good Friday.

Pep will be shopping for the best players in the world. There are City players better than Mooy that will be having their papers signed - Navas, Fernando etc.

Baby steps for Mooy. Making it into the squad of any Prem side would be a great achievement.

Hopefully Rogic can stay fit and get plenty of gametime over the next 12 months. He's one of the better prospects heading towards the next WC.

I used the day to watch the early acting efforts of many currently and formerly well-known actors. 21 Jump Street mini-marathon.

Anyone else get the sense the Saints may go backwards this year? i just feel they rely far to much on older guys and the young players just aren't that good, with a couple of exceptions

Yep, Manchester City is a bridge too far, but I think Mooy is good enough to be a regular for a premier league club outside of the big 4 or 5.

Would love to see Rogic get fit and have one more huge year at Celtic. He has shown many flashes of brilliance this year, but just can't get the continuity with his fitness. One consistent year and then he can make the move to a decent club in England/Spain/Germany.

Agreed. Riewoldt they had several guys play out of their skin last year and they still finished below us. I can't see them improving.

One of their former "older guys" is captaining Essendon. I suspect they will go backwards at a greater rate.

Suns are pretty hard to get a read on this year.

No chance, with Ablett back the Suns will win by 10 goals plus...Lynch to kick at least 6

No i don't get that feeling at all

After Half time the Drug Cheats will be cramping up and vomitting, not from peptides this time, but merely because they are not match fit...


At Metricon: GCS 68pts vs EFC 25pts near end of 2nd qtr.  18 scoring shots to 5.

Its going to be a long, ugly winter for the bombers.:)

Can't wait to see their fans race to get off the bandwagon.

Their rally to the G next week may just be one great big fizzer!!

Come on Gold Coast smash them. Ablett already up to 20 possessions. .

It's scary to think what some good sides could do to the bombers this year, they're us of 2013

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
