Zempalis umpiring the game instead of commentating on is so so annoying.

Amazing what man on man defense can do.

The second quarter we cut their chip kicks out and got the game on our terms.

Guess what-no diamond ,no zone,just man on man.

Still playing the zone that quarter. Maybe it's just working?

I think I just fell off my chair at the G! ProDee giving Watts a compliment. Maybe hell has frozen over! 

 

Tyson is having a wonderful game. I'm glad we took it up to them and didn't lie down and let them smash us like we have for the last 10 years. They and the umpires treat us with contempt and I'm sick of it. We deserve to be in this game and not because we are a pack of cheats who get favored by the umpires every week. 

I don't know if we can win this, but I sure as hell hope we keep up the fight and come close!

Hope Mitchell gets a bit more attention to the rib cage.

I'm thinking a Gawn knee.

I know I'll regret it, but I honestly believe right now that we can win this game of footy.  

I'm not prepared to be let down!

I am in the same boat. Players like Lewis and Hodge are looking old and weary every time we smash into them. No doubt they will get a rocket though, and the result will depend a lot on how they respond.

Watts games need a thread of its own, like the old days... But complimentary.  Maybe it's the time in the ruck?  Who knows... But he looks like a footballer and has gone every time with real intent.  Never thought I'd see it

Tyson is a good wet weather player, except that late HTB.

Dawes has been important today.

Not really his fault. They had three players lined up in the middle. Had zero options, and about a second to make a decision.

Seeing Hunt,Wagner,Omac get caught though after having the ball for 5 seconds. Their defensive awareness sometimes is very poor but they've all been solid today so far.

True, has been missing all game.

We can play hard, tough footy. Its just the gap from this quality to our worst is still too big. Very frustrating.

Anyway, we are in with more than just a chance. Need to keep that momentum for another half.

Go Dee's.

    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,
