Frustrating that in all his time off and over the pre-season, Bugg is still a shocking kick for goal.

Good first half, we've been cleaner and it's shown. I actually feel like Brisbane got on top of us with winning the ball and didn't allow us as many clean possessions but they just don't have the finishing skills to make us pay. If we blitz them early in the 3rd quarter than it could be game over and we can cruise home.

Hogan and Garlett have been very good today and Bugg should've made the most of Hogan's hard work.

Hunt has been very quiet once again

His effort to stop Cameron was superb 

Brisbane remind me of the first year Roos MFC team. No question of endeavour, just ball slaughter after error after cockup, and suddenly you are miles behind when you haven't even been that bad really. 

Wait for the confidence drop to come next. We really, really need to bury them.

 

Whoever pushed Jetta into that marking contest should be reported, ugly stuff.

True Steve, it was poor.

I must admit that I didn't see you posting when one his kicks hit ANB lace out for a goal.  

Swings and roundabouts I guess, eh?

I also haven’t commented on any of the other shocking kicks he’s made so far this game under no pressure.

So obviously I have no care if he hits one or two.

They shouldn't have to learn on game day. They should be learning at training or at Casey. It isn't good enough at this level. Tyson's kicking, turnovers and lack of awareness hurt us as a side too often. Bugg just plain and simply is a sh*t kick.

Tyson wants to go backward at every opportunity. He was out in the middle of the ground and his first instinct was to give a 2 Metre handle back to Jones who wasn't expecting it and we miffed the chance . Horrendous. That said, he is providing more than Maynard. Harmes way off the pace at the moment

Whatever floats your boat, Steve.  Outside of one I can think of, and that turnover, he's been pretty good.

Tyson hit someone (ANB I think) lace out off two steps from the boundary line which resulted in a goal. How much better do you want him to get?

Winning doesn’t mean cheating, little man. 

Or maybe it does to you 

You just like socializing with your boys, we get that

 

No you said remembering winners, everybody remembers these, we're playing well tonight aren't we, having a few social pale ales and watching on big screen

Try having a father that saw 7 of the 12 and an uncle that played in 3.

I was born just in time to think that a 5 win season was a good one.

The suspense is killing me: who was your uncle?

We have been pretty good. Would want to really bury them though.

Bugg's goal kicking is 100% mental.

And all of us ...wherever we are ... hoping for a win .... I know I am ?


As Clint mentioned Wagner, Bugg (both of whom I don't rate) & Harmes clear bottom three. Hunt quiet but has credits with me as I'm a huge fan. The rest have been good. Hopefully two consistent quarters to come.

Clearly 5 Brownlows better. :laugh:

Look how tense he is running in. 100% mental.

Couldn’t agree more. I love what Bugg brings and Tyson can be brilliant too but thier kicking will preven then from ever being exceptional

Funny, I am starting to warm to Wagner, yep the odd error, but I think he's getting a few consecutive games to get his head around it. Bugg  presents really well and hassles (and I can forgive that miss, because every other player has also missed that kick) and Harmess, well, he can take a mark, I don't think he has too much of an ego, and is better than 'serviceable'... theyll come on in the second half (but then I guess they're just down hill skiiers)?? Agreed, let's hope the consistency comes for the second half.

lol if you're bagging him. Just lol.

If Wiseblood and Saty think you're right, yer right.

Plus he's been good, MFC confirmation bias in full swing.

You bought up a pile of cheats, not me

i have no time for cheating, my comments on the Essendrug disgrace were always rock solid. 

Let’s see how the Premiership Quarter stacks up

jobs not even close to being finished yet

See you have moved from Oscar last year to Tyson this year.. lol..

First game for this year and Tyson has been quite handy. Showing why he showed have been in the side last week instead of Maynard. You'll get the odd error from him, like Jones, like Viney, and like Petracca.. but he has a touch of class about him too which when on song, can be quite a dominant midfielder.

  • 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.

  • 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.
