It takes talent though.  Serious talent that he's worked on over the years - he can turn any point, any thread or any topic into something he can have a dig at the club about.  He can draw a bow so long that you almost can't believe it and then.... twang.

    I love watching Josh Kennedy play. Love that hes still that traditional full forward that actually leads to the ball carrier.

    Hope Hogan and Weideman are watching.

    The Eagles' ball use is far, far superior to ours.

    Gee, Darling is a softie though. Looks tough, but plays like an under 12.

    If you're just going to look for the negatives, it's akin to Catholic psychology. Give it up if you can't find any positives.

    We have been having a crack Sir it's just been our disposal, lack of leadership and decision making that continually screws us over. 

    Did we really have a crack in the First Half against Essendrug?

    3rd Quarter against the Shockers?

    first Quarter last week against Whorethorn?

    i say we didn't to AFL Standard

    We could really learn from the Eagles' forward entries. They almost always kick to the advantage of the forwards.

    Kennedy's a good player, but he's not a great player. The ball use is so, so good that it makes him look a lot better than he is. He leads to the right spots.

    He may get some good ball use, but the bloke is a gun.  You don't win Coleman Medals, and I want to emphasize the 'medals' part, unless you are a seriously good player.  You aren't giving him nearly enough credit.

    I gave him the credit of being a good player. He's just not a great player to me. He and Darling get silver service week on week.

    So if we're basing a forward's ability on the ball use they get from the midfield, who is a great player then?  I'm assuming then that Buddy is just a 'good' player in your book due to the silver service the Swans give him?  Same goes for someone like Jeremy Cameron as well?

    Buddy is a genius. He doesn't just rely on the midfield to get him the ball with little lead up marks, often uncontested (like Kennedy - who for the record, is a very smart player). Buddy is in a completely different class. One of the great forwards in the game.

    Cameron is a little lazy to be honest. He hasn't reached his potential yet. He's a good player at this stage.

    This game is interestingly poised. The Bulldogs remind me very much of Melbourne tonight. They haven't really looked like it all night. They've stuck around though and now that the Eagles have missed a few easy ones, they're giving themselves a chance with bold ball movement. The difference between the Bulldogs and Melbourne at the moment is that they know how to win these types of games, as we will in time too.

    Kennedy is the smartest forward in the competition.  The reason he gets so many lead up marks is how well he uses his leading patterns to do so.  He reads the play so well up the ground and this allows him to get so many of those lead up marks.  

    I won't change your mind, and we'll agree to disagree, but Kennedy is alongside Buddy as the best forwards in the comp, and that makes him at the very least a great player.

    I thought he was average (by his standards) tonight and Yeo got the better of that contest.

    Yep Daniel is turning into one of my favourite non Melbourne players. So clean and always does something useful with the ball. No carry on or dyed hair or antics. Just a bloody good footballer

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
