Did you just refer to yourself in the third person?

Toumpas with 15 touches to 1/2 time, but going at 46% DE makes them pretty useless.

especially considering basically all of them have been uncontested touches, a heap of cheap touches in space missing targets. 

at least he's getting the pill i guess.

Listening to Worsfold then was really impressive, i hope our coaches are delivering the same messages about being brave and taking the game on, keep practicing good habits until they can execute them consistently under pressure.

I don't mind when our boys make errors trying to take the game on, but stupid kicks trying to be defensive are annoying to watch.

Charlie Dixon looks like an absolute monster who could dominate a game. I want Hogan to do that this year.

 

I noticed on the half time coverage that as the players went to leave the rooms to go on the ground Ken Hinkley pulled them back and and gave them a bit of a spray.  Ling said he thought that maybe Hinkley sensed that they weren't 100% switched on.  

I wonder in the process driven stats based coaching world that seems to have taken over, whether ANY of the coaches in our panel sensed anything before last weeks debacle.

Our coach doesnt do any of these things ??

You wouldn't know - nor would any of us.

I know I said Charlie Dixon was a beast, but after the interview, he's also as dumb as dog [censored]. 

Result as it should be. A sloppy undermanned Port beat a plucky 2nd rate Essendon by ten goals.

Toumpas got 28 touches tonight. Agreed it was against the Bombers who are the league easy beats...... Oh, wait....


i go so angry about our performance last week i turned off part way through the first quarter.

 

i saw little bits here and there after that, and saw toumpas get the ball a couple of times - a few little handballs in close that put his teammates under pressure, and some errant kicks.

 

personally, i think of the swap as effectively 'kennedy for toumpas' and i'm okay with that.

 

i hope he does okay, just not as well as kennedy!

28 in Total, 12 Contested at 64% DE. None of the 3 Coaches he played under in 3 years with us got that out of him. Good Luck Toump!

Possibly. But if we supporters don't start to get really angry

NOTHING WILL CHANGE

 

its not angry we have to be swyl..

 

we need to get  'fierce'  Re our footy,  & we have to  'demanding'  of our administrations.  & to stop looking in-house for our board members.   Its our acceptance of what our

administrators deliver,   & the culture of the type of Boards we always seemed to get.  

These past boards have taken no decisive action to repair our  'outer'  grassroots supporter base.   This issue is likely that we 

(current supporter base)  have become  'defensive inbred thinking' - Re the current culture of 'nimby'.    "not in my backyard"  ... but do not take anything away from the 'G'  mentality.   ..... & will give nothing to fix the support base, 

this thinking gives nothing to boards to grow its base.

 

IMO most supporters,  like me,  are  'voting-in'  directors out of ignorance & blind faith,  when we vote for board members,   & far too often we end up  'hearing about'  those who are approved by MCC mates,  & so,   we end up with a footy team that plays nice like its a game of cricket.   

 

we have to get fierce,  as a club,  hard & tough.   So our players will develop their mental skins in this hard tough mold.    We do not want players developing their mental skins in the form of a suit.

 

soldiers don't fight in suits,  firefighters don't fight fires in suits,  we need to get away from this  'refined concept'  for our teams culture to change,  & get hard...

I hope the saints beat collingwood.

All mouth and trousers, nominations are called for board vacancies, if there are only 3 nominations then those 3 get elected unopposed, if you want to do something about it, then nominate next time there is a vacancy, give me what you are going to do and I will make sure I vote for you if your platform of promises  is strong enough

i think my thoughts are very clear.    how do you think my thoughts will go over with the current bias of board-voting elections,  & with the nimby selfish attitudes?

 

eg:  How would my social-capitalist beliefs go,  getting a seat within the  'Liberal party',  Saty ?    IMO no very well.

As I said,  all mouth and trousers, do you also stand on the steps of the State Library shouting and when asked for alternatives produce absolutely nothing?

I have been to quite a few AGM, you have the occassional dissenting voice, but it is usually about something so trivial it borders on force

Where are all the dissenting voices at the AGM?

 

Can someone please explain to me WHY  St Kilda plays a home game at the G today while Richmond plays a home game at Etihad? on the same day?

Why wouldn't the AFL let the clubs play on their own home grounds for their home games????

I'm a bit confused

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
