McCartin looks solid.

Could of good clinks early, good on him.

Crows look on, Saints not quiet physical enough to tag Sloane.

Saints looking pretty ordinary

Wow. Playing Adelaide at Adelaide Oval looks tough. I can't see many teams making that journey and coming away with the points this year. :cool:

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)

Sloane has now had 7 touches, I'd say the tag is working.

They're 57 points behind, I'd say it isn't working.

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.

You assume a lot about me, anyway too tired plus plane is about to take off....

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
