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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
