AFL Round 4 - Non MFC Games (2017)

Acres reminds me very much of Harmes. A hard runner who can get on the end of a couple, but doesn't have the greatest skills.

We want St Kilda to win today, don't we? They've got Geelong next week, who you'd hope would account for them.

Bad kicking for goal seems to be contageous 

I wonder if it's a work rate thing. We're not the only ones who can't find the sticks consistently at the moment.

With the increased kilometres in the legs, are players struggling to convert for this reason?

At this early stage in the season you'd have to say yes

treloar's kicking is as bad as tyson's.

And both are goal kicking, ball accumulating mids. Both have some questions over their defensive game too. I wonder if that's a GWS learnt thing? :P

For teams who have Docklands as their home ground one would think that they should have good accuracy on goal from say 40 metres out anywhere between the 45 metre arcs but it does not seem so.

No wind or other variables... just the walk up and the players personal aiming spot to counteract normal skew etc.

Perhaps it is the lack of training on the ground or whatever but its an area ripe for the sports scientists.

Richmond are smashing the Lions.

I was confident of beating them until yesterday, them being 5-0 will make me puke.

Let them get big heads. The bandwagons gotta come off the rails soon enough...

Having watched all of Richmond's games (watched the West Coast replay), I reckon they are one of the worst 4-0 teams of all time. They make stupid errors and lack the midfield depth. They haven't played a decent team yet. Collingwood, Carlton, West Coast (at the 'G, who should have put them away) and now Brisbane - they haven't beaten anyone of note. And those first two wins were really scratchy. 

If we bring forward half pressure and minimise our turnovers as we did in the first two weeks, we should murder them.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.
