Thats what i''m thinking Re the leash.

It would mean Clarry has to play without as much freedom and creativity, with other stuff a must to focus on. I'm not sure how that would effect his game?

Bernie is accustomed to the role, but maybe O'Meara is more his type of opponent?  O'Meara would also have to cover Bernie, when he has the ball.

Maybe the buggster is the key, to bother Mitchell ?

 

...

would you use Angus on O'Meara?

Maybe that's why they apparently used Angus to tag in the VFL... to see IF he can be a tagger?

I'm not convinced Re Angus yet, for these match-ups.

I'd prefer Dion in, to utilise around the Hawks smalls.

I wouldn't tag O'Meara. 1) he's overrated. 2) we should back in our own mids. 3) we can't tag two of their mids and play our own game.

    Tag doesn't mean purely negate.   We can win the ball against O'Meara and use it creatively.  Maybe you'd prefer the 'runwith' term?

    I just mean paying them close attention keep them on the leash.  And hurt them back the other way.

    Too many these days just run free to create whatever they can.

    Fair enough. And I wouldn't bother tagging O'Meara. He's not as good as everyone thinks he is.

    I'd make him accountable and try to exploit him going back the other way.

    The Clarkson mantra is backing his players to win the stoppages. He rarely tags.

    It's a similar philosophy that I believe Goodwin and Roos employ(ed). Back in your guys to win their position.

    I'd play a defensive forward or wingman on Smith though. Harmed is the guy, I reckon. He can definitely hurt Smith going back the other way and his tank is good enough to stay with him.

    I wonder whether they're thinking Mitchell this week. 

    And Martin the following week...

    Maybe Cotchin.

    I think Shiels goes to Clarrie this week and Gus may come in for the run with role

    Pedo has played commendably for us for quite a few years now, as most people observe. He is a consistent asset to the team and many of the good results of the past. To say that '... he can only play as an on-ball short ruckman to be effective ... ' is very wrong. Try saying that to his face. 

    Seems like the coach agrees with me.

    Pedersen's supporters continue to not get it.  Pedersen not even on the extended bench and Weideman is.

    As it should be.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
