Tom McDonald's kicking - Could go anywhere

 

(Seriously. wtf is his action. He kicked an inside-out torpedo goal. He couldn't do that if he tried).

And yet he did.

Frost did a good job attacking, but lets not shy away from the fact that if Daniher kicked straight the results would have been vastly different.

Frost has to get better at defending. I'm sick of defenders playing like millionaires. I don't care if you gain 900kms a game, if your opponent is having 8 shots on goal! 

This is why Jetta is so important to our backline. He actually DEFENDS!

Reckon we need to allow some slack Beezle to our perceived  underperfomers. It's team game and we supporters will never know what the coaches instructions are. 

Yeah...youre right..

A bag of of excuses and gold stamps all round. Why stop there ?

Dispense with scoring, lets not have winners, or best, or anything that might call to question or seriously dehumanise as they are people and have feelings. Its about inclusion... joining together in fellowship...kum by yah ....

Sorry Ernest. Its a competitive sport whose metric is winning. If that was the only role for JKH then that itself is questionable.

The 2nd arrow to a fwd's quiver is defence. His FIRST is to score.

Given we were stretched for avenues to goal he added NOTHING ...again.

Why are many struggling with this.

In this team, it doesn't matter who scores the goals, why we have so many gimmes in the goal square

JKH was singled out for praise by Goody for his pressure, some on here need to get over it, if Goody picks JKH again next week, means he played his role, same with ANB

Unfortunately Saty even good coaches make mistakes eg playing the Weid for two weeks too long at the expense of playing Pedersen.

Lewis - goal of week?

Team - no one injured

Daniher - one goal six

And in the unique world of AFL maths Daniher 1.6 = Daniher 2.0

And what if Frost stayed on JD and didn't attack, would we have won still?

I think Frosty is great in a shutdown role, and equally as good when he is attacking but what i believe he needs to work on is when to run off and when not too.

Feel like his kicking has improved a bit too.

No he wasn't.  Goodwin was asked about our small forwards and getting the right mix and he mentioned many of them.  He admitted that JKH didn't get much of the ball but was happy with his pressure.  He did not single him out at all.  You're a liar.

Oh sorry, mentioning by name is not singling out, of course we can't have Goody praising JKH, goes against the mob sentiment on here

I won't single you out when I say I find some of the experts on here laughable

The Bernie Vince kick out with 10:41 to go in the second quarter has to stand as a low point.

Watched it on replay to see if there was an excuse but no..... one MFC player ringed by five Bombers around 30 metres out

The only thing I can think of is that is that Vince made a mistake re depth perception in that while the MFC player appeared free there was time for the zone to drop in.

Love him or hate him Shaw for GWS has the kick in down to a fine art. If you can get the 10-15 metre post goal square run you upset the zone

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
