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.

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
