Round 12: Non-MFC games


What

Recommended Posts

The last spot or two in the eight will come down to percentage.  We have done so well to keep all our losses close this season.

The Saints might be having a game tonight that they can ill afford % wise.. nevermind the loss itself.

Edit - the game is still early days so anything can happen, but Crows do look ominous

Thank goodness I've worked out how my mute button works. So sick of 7's common taters. No wonder they have to pay the AFL so much for the TV rights. I'd demand that much too if I knew that my sport was going to be covered by commentary teams who are going to turn people off my sport in droves!

Yes Carlisle doesn't do much for the saints even if you ignore all the hype around him when they signed him up. Defeated on several occasions even though he's only playing on Crows 4th or 5th forward (Jenkins)

Really? Clearly we look at football differently than. 

Yep: you look at one individual matchup in isolation, and I look at the big picture. :P

No, I do see your point, but I think it's just a moot one if your team is getting thrashed.  We tagged him well too, but we also did a lot of other things well that night too, our pressure on the ball in general (through the middle and forward) meant their ball use was under pressure, rushed and in general, poor.  Their forwards had to push back a lot to help out, which meant when they did get it, their forays forward were disorganised.

I'd hardly be losing sleep over Sloane's tag if I were the Crows.  Footy is a team game, St Kilda's system as a team tonight sucks.  Given that they're being annihilated in every other aspect of the game, St Kilda ought to be questioning whether tagging one singular player is the best use of their midfield resources.

Just read this on St Kilda big footy

 

The way McCartin is going I would take Jack Watts every day of the week. My gut feel is in underage footy he was just bigger than everyone else which is why he looked so good. Now against adults he has no tricks and no footy smarts. Whoever chose him instead of Pettraca should be shot.

    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
