I’m not a watts hater. I really loved jack when he was with us. I watched the first port game for the year last night. 

If he played that game in our jumper, I would be livid.  He didn’t come to the ball to take a mark. Turnover. He had no urgency running away from a pack. Tackled, turnover. There was no intensity. 

Taking it with a grain of salt. It’s the only game I’ve seen him play this year. But regardless, that was one he will want to forget.

    It was his regular game mate, like you i always wanted Jack to fire, but the bottom line is, he has great skills, but is timid

    He won’t get rid of that. That is in his chemical make up

    This is why recruiters MUST get the right questions to prospective recruits very early. 

    As i said above, and will keep saying

    Attitude to succeed is what you want to recruit, it’s the rest that can be taught.

    Those who can, do

    Those who can't, teach

    Those who can't teach, coach

    Those who can't coach, analyse

    Those who can't analyse, seek to understand

    Those who can't understand, commentate

     

    Those who can't do, teach, coach, analyse, understand, or commentate, are recruited by the AFL umpires department. They may just have what it takes to be an AFL umpire.

    It’s nothing short of a disgrace how we lost to hawks watching them today 

     

    And we thought the loss couldn't look more pathetic than it was...  North are toying with them.

    Well, Clarkson worked us out by quarter time so they said, lets see if he can adapt to North today.

    North doing what we should have done in the first quarter last week.

    Bingo.

    However, North don't have two joggers in the backline who can't run, they don't have players who have no football skills, they nail their set shots, they are spreading and not allowing the Hawks to shepherd the mark and also making each Hawk accountable for a player and they never all run to the forward 50 leaving no one between the pack and the opposition goals. They are also able to pass a football properly.

    Pretty simple really.

    North is a finals smokey. They play good team football at times and have a smart albeit arrogant coach. 

    They would respond quickly after a loss like we went through last week. We won't. we're set for a 6-7 goal loss.

    So how did we beat them? The mind boggles.......

    The put a stat up for both teams in first quarters this season.

     Norf have conceded a total of 36 points in first quarters and Hawks 121 before today’s game. 

  • Quote

    All a North victory will show us is that this season is even, unpredictable and if you don’t bring your best sustained effort, you’ll get rolled.  Plenty of upsets in every round so far this year...

    Different games on different days. I was actually referencing what we did wrong against the Hawks. It was slightly different against the Roos.

    • 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.
