watching from level 3, hickey was very effective around the ground i thought. didn't mark it but also didn't allow gawn to impact the way he has in recent weeks.

 

hickey drew even with him i thought.

Yes,  I agree.  They broke even, which was a win for the Saints. 

Gawn wasn't "beaten".

 

 

The Club need to get off the media. Can't believe they allow Gawn to go and list the Top 5 ruckman in the game that he admires or aspires to.  Do these idiots not think the other 12 ruckman, eg Hickey aren't going to have that thrust in their face. 

The Kangaroos stated recently that they remind Ziebell about the fact that Roos once stated in the media that he lacks endurance. 

Get out of the media Demons until you deserve to be there.

It didn't hurt Gawn to say he aspired to take the number one mantle from Goldy...I think too much is made of this stuff.

The club need to be in the media, it's good for fans and sponsors.

St Kilda basically had their entire pre game on ABC yesterday, access to before the match talks and on ground warm ups. I don't think it hurt them.

And Joeboy, Watts was hopeless.  He was back to the non-competitive version.

A leopard never changes its spots. And I'm not talking about Watts.

You rated his game ?  You were there ?

Wow.  It's amazing how some people can view football so differently (assuming you thought he had a crack).

Christian Petracca 8 8 16 1 0 1 2 5 0 0 58

On one of these threads somebody compared Toumpas to Petracca. These stats are Jimmy's debut game against the Saints in 2014 compared to Petracca's stats from yesterday.

What's your point ?

None really. Just thought it was a strange comparison but the stats indicate that they had similar debuts.

No! This is what we shouldn't have done.

Doesn't show contestep possessions, and how many tackles did toumpas lay?

Where did I say I rated his game and yes, I was there.

I thought we had 3 players yesterday that could be satisfied with their game and Watts wasn't one of them.  I also thought he was far from our worst.  I think the Saints worked a lot harder than us and had players round the ball so in many instances Watts was outnumbered. I didn't think he lacked effort, just impact.

His season thus far has been significantly better than he's produced in the past but yesterday was one of his two poor games.

We saw a different player. 

He was half-hearted in marking contests and his attack on the footy was substandard. 

I don't mind an off game, but his "efforts "were poor.  I wouldn't have made the comment I did to Joeboy if I thought otherwise. 

He's had a good year, but can't afford to drop off in the effort stakes. 

It seems as soon as we go wrong, we get the whips out for Watts and Tmac.

Watts got into a few really good contests. He is presenting a lot more forcibly than in the past. Credit to him and the coaching staff.

Tmac : short memories ,some people. He held us together in the first half against Richmond. Leads the 1% categories every week !!!

The weakness yesterday was our incapacity to limit their rebounds. Maybe that is a weakness in our game plan. Sydney learnt to do it well both ways. Comes down to organisation.

I laugh when I see people calling for TMAC's head. Don't they realize when he plays poorly we lose? Drop him and we're no chance. 

Just so so dumb. 

We clearly need an effective 2nd tall forward. Some one to take the 2nd best defender. This releases Watts as the 3rd forward. Frost is not and has never been a forward. Peterson is just a toiler, sometimes he will do ok and other times he will go missing, more of a swingman than anything else. As for yesterday, I believe we lost because the entire team didn't work hard enough but inparticular our midfield. To my eye the saints midfielders would have covered 20% more territory than our boys. The second point is I watched the exact same match against St Kilda last year, only difference was it was at the G. We were out coached that day and again today. Very poor coaching displayed today from Roos. The pattern of play was evident from half way through the 1st quarter and yet there was no reaction from the coaches box.

Yes he can be ( dumb that is ). When there is such a large gap between his best and worst it always is going to result in frustration. He has to narrow that gap considerably otherwise he will continue to cop it.

So many absent players.

You did well to restrain youself.

Why were thye talking about playing finals during the week. They werent even in the eight.

Lets be confident but lets not get too far ahead either

We win 2 in a row like any good side should and then put on this crap.

Looks like they over trained.......they were cooked on toast.

If you read Viney's comment re: finals, he was asked the question and why wouldn't he say that it was an expectation they were in the mix.  If he didn't have that mindset this time in the season why do we all care in that case.

Viney didn't initiate the issue the press asked him and that was the headline.

 

Now watch the media run with that hare until the next sucker provides them with a new headline.  Headlines equals sales of papers - its that simple.

fortunately (for us) there are quite a few clubs this year under the media scrutiny including many powerhouse clubs.

but i agree we should avoid making any silly statements until we have much more consistency and keep a lower profile without being invisible

Seems two of our three wins so far have been against poor sides who are going to finish in the bottom six.

We have got a little in front of ourselves and started believing that 4 kids are world beaaters when they are actually just good VFL players at this point.

I am still confident of 10 wins this year but to suggest finals in 2016 is gilding the lily somewhat.

We still half no CHF, no HB flankers and our CHB and FB are average AFL players.

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
