Surprised. He was cheering for Essendon today. 

Picking Oliver over Parish has to be one of the best recruiting decisions we have ever made. Parish looked like a lost boy.

 

Don't all commentators want the brave Essendon to win?

What did you expect from two teams coming off short breaks and games in the wet.

We kicked 17 goals, I'll take it.

Didn't I tell you....:rolleyes:

Important 4 points. There will be 3 finals spots up for grabs this year. Port are certainties to grab one, leaving Richmond, St.Kilda, maybe a wildcard and us to fight for the other two. Clearly Essendon won't be one.

Oliver, 3x the disposals of Parish. And I thought he had a quietish game. Freak.

Tom McDonald and Tyson will cost us a final one day with their poor kicking. Petracca will win us more than one.

About time Daniher spudded it up against us. He would have kicked 7.0 any other time.

Clarry Choo Choo 33 possesions if that is a little quiet then his A grade game will feature in the high 40 s possesions. Darcy Who?? Very soft indeed!

Tagging job on Heppell, right? Kept him quiet.

Still did a lot of silly things. Very ordinary from where I sat.

I have defended Dom Tyson in the past, but his kicking tiday made Tom McDonald's kicking look like the second coming of Peter Daicos.

 

Way over the top. TMac was best on ground, but his kicking was plain embarrassing, which dragged down his game. Tyson made a coupe of errors but I thought had a good game. I wish he'd clean up his kicks, but he wasn't horrible today

Loved:

Daniher's goal kicking.

Viney's third quarter

Oliver- my god , what a beast.  His ability to get the ball and get it to advantage is unbelievable.

Trac, Watts, Garlett.  Forward line.

 In the last, every time we took a bummer to ground, they hurt getting up.  That is awesome.

winning.

Hated:

second quarter.  It was horrendous.

the simple errors that cost us goals.

that we will go in next week as favourites.

turnover tommy and turnover Tyson.  Kicking pie floaters.

Not a chance. You can't be best on ground when you're giving the opposition silver service with every second kick.

Pedersen, Watts, Lewis and Hibberd were better than him and even a few Essendon players were better.

Garlett really picked himself up after a poor first half. His persistent chasing and tackle which resulted in him getting a free and kicking a goal was the turning point.

Given some of the decisions by the umps today it would not surprise me if they gave Daniher the 3 votes. After all he did kick that wonderful goal at the second attempt. 

Fmd...that was comedy at its best. Even he knew it. Checkside from there !!!  Of course, he should never have had second kick. First was entirely legit....if rubbish.

Hated: Most of the game. Melksham. JKH. ANB. No Kent. 

 

Loved: Pedo, love a good Pedo. Petracca. Oli<3r. Watts (gun). Beating those [censored]. 

Agree with all of this. Goodwin is going to have his mettle tested because Melksham is his mate and his doing but doesn't do enough. His other mate Hibberd is an absolute star though.

JKH over Kent, unless you want someone who is small, slow, fumbly and invisible for large chunks than this error needs to amended next week.

ANB was terrible but has had a pretty good season so he can stay.

Not sure what game some were watching, two teams with multiple changes and a half looking like that, Goodwin (who can't coach from last week) tweaked a few things at half time and we stormed home

ANB and JKH worked their arses off again

Just wanted to highlight this. He is not AFL standard because of his hands. Needs to be dropped, don't care who comes in

Not sure what you were watching Saty. What is ...is.

Two teams fronted. Both rubbish. One less so than the other.

Irrespective of what ANB , JKH TRIED  to do ...it wasn't pretty, nor warrants writing home about. Both sub par.

Your personal relationship with JKH is clouding your judgement.

I agree with that he credit being given to our better players today. But the forward line credits usually seem to miss Hannan.

Although he was a bit patchy, I thought he had a really good game overall, for his level of experience. A couple of strong marks and goals in the second half really helped settle is and consolidate our lead. He shows a strong competitive spirit and attacks a contest with everything you want to see in a young player.

Why not replace Melksham with Trengove? 

Melksham is a speedy rebounding defender and Trengove is a slow inside ball winner. That's why.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
