Watts had his moments, obviously, but certainly not stiff to miss out. Didn't have a great game.

    I quite like Sidebottom as a player, but I thought he really went missing for them in the second half when they really needed the likes of him to stand up under pressure. 22 possessions in the first half, only 10 in the 2nd. Got badly caught with the ball a couple of times trying to beat the tackler, and his clever kicks in the first half were too-clever-by-half in the 2nd half.

    A great game is precisely what Watts had! Even if that greatness can be filtered down to fleeting moments with the ball in hand, the symbolic nature of his triumphant arrival at the pinnacle in the closing moments; the eruption of joy amongst team mates and supporters; the fact that every step of his charge forward and spearing goal will be etched into our collective memories forever... that is the essence of greatness in our game, Sir!

    You're a hard task marker

    This is why I find stats misleading. I get how many possessions Oliver had (for example).

    Jack Watts won us the game, then saved us the game. End of story. If it had have been Cyril Rioli , he would be in Team Of The Week.

    Collingwood get 2 in the side off a loss. We beat them get 1 in the side, 1 on the bench and the fans pick.

    This shows how the game was won and lost really. We had a more consistent team performance across the ground (as we usually do) whereas Collingwood relied more on 2 or 3 to win it for them (as they usually do).

    Hibberd >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Howe

    Exactly. Watch the 'all the goals' video and see how many goals Howe was involved in. Carp defender

  • Quote

    How did Viney get in ahead of Oliver and Jones (who had to be voted in)? Oliver was far more influential. 

     

    Hibberd is/was better than Howe too. It's a 4 quarter game.

    Well the AFL has to fit in as many Essendrug players as they can each week as part of their agenda to give them as much positive press as possible after the drug saga.

    Just watch, there will be 4 or 5 Bombers in the AA team even if they miss the finals.

    About 19 of those guys didn't make my TOTW.

    Trying to pump them up before the next court case revelation??

    Wonder what they were on at the weekend for such a surprise result?  Can they keep it up?

    Port crowd were apparently giving it to them as well, the old "Mitchell Motion"

    Again, for all the respect Oliver gets it's not nearly enough. Viney stood out in the 4th, but Clarry was crucial.

    Agree with your description of the moment totally, and agree that moment was great .........But.......greatness will only be the continued replication of those great moments.

    I reckon Watts has had many moments of on and off field great incidents, but until there is consistency of action at that level I am reluctant to label him as a great of the game

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
