Post Match Discussion vs GWS

Recommended Posts

We can bank the 4 pts but should have really been well beaten today. They kicked themselves out of it.

Nonetheless, what a fantastic win. Really liked the tackling pressure, especially in the 1st and 4th quarters.

If we can sort out the end to end transition (both defending and attacking) we'll be a hard side to play against this year. Loved Oliver, he's going to be some player. Jack Viney BOG by some margin.

Best on? Injuries? What's wrong with Hogan and his 3 goals? How was Oliver? When should I buy finals tickets?

Help a sister with third world internet out!

Best on is probably Viney, was az machine today, but honourable mentions to gawn dominating in the ruck and a fantastic opening game to Oliver.....

 

 

Hogan was very well held for the first 3 quarters. but the last quarter he finally found some room and drove us to a win.

 

get excited by oliver!!!!

 

give it another couple of weeks before you get finals tickets.....

Viney.

OMac ankle. On crutches at end of game. 

Hogan slept through the first half. Moved on to the ball in 3rd. Forward again in the last and came alive. Bloody star.

Oliver 17 touches in the first half, 1 in the second. Faded but very bloody exciting.

I'd wait a bit for the tix.

Jack Watts, follow this up week in and out! Best game for him yet!!

Kennedy! Wow 2nd efforts and pressure!

Gawn gave our mids great first options! Smashed them in the guts!

Oliver..... The ginger is a freak!

Viney is the hard center in the mids. just keeps moving the ball forward with intent!

Tom McDonald! rebounding intercept marking!

Great effort and endeavor! Showing us what we can do if we keep at it and don't give up!!!

GO DEES!

Watts has clicked. 

You knew we'd win when VDB's kick dug a trench on its way through for a goal. 

Tyson will lose his spot this year if he keeps this rubbish up. 

Very happy with Kennedy. Even more happy with GWS goal kicking and Steve Johnson's selfishness. 

Oliver! Oliver!

A Watts-lead come from behind victory against a good team. Not too shabby!

Like: Viney, Watts, Oliver, TMac. The belief.

Dislike: Tyson's, Frost's, OMac and Bugg's kicking.

Bit harsh on Frost. He was great in his pressure and efforts. And his tackle that should have had the GWS player holding the ball was a ripper. The umpires were utter Sh!te.

I think we underestimate the quality of GWS.. 

Great comeback & never say die attitude hopefully beginning with similar positions in practice games..  

Cant ask for anymore than that .. Sure some poor periods but remember great sides find a way to win!

I'm being picky but young Oliver had 5 possies in the second half. A great first up game.

Don't like his kicking SYL. I can see why they play him though. Speed and height.

2 interesting stats

1. Clayton Oliver had 15 contested touches, record for a first gamer is a tie between Jack Viney and Ollie Wines on 16

2. Jack watts had 100% disposal efficiency 4 score involvements and a goal in the last quarter

I thought the whole side was terrible with their disposal. I thought that there were more positives than negatives. We are still unable to hit targets when we are on the burst. Oliver was great, I think Petracca will be  a huge bonus when he comes in. Tommy Mac got better as the game went on. Lots to like.

And only 51% game time apparently, which the bulk of must have been in the first half. Very impressive.

Viney, Kennedy, Watts, Maxey, T-Mac up there. No Major Issues on the bench. For his first game Oliver was fanbloodytastic. Put one or 2 seniors to shame (Tyson.... ughh). Not finals worthy...yet. Check In again about Rnd 6 !

I really wish our key forwards would lead harder at the ball carrier and demand the footy instead of hanging out in front of goals for the big pack mark. Very frustrating, Hogan would kick bags of goals if he would just lead out of the goal square a bit more.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
