Think the ball moved around the ground a lot slower back then.  

It’s also worth noting that every ball up that BT complained about the congestion, there was not a single secondary ball up; it cleared the congestion into space every time.

Neither team put a lot of pressure on the ball carrier so that's not surprising.

GWS are insipid tonight and allowing the Cats to walk around them.

Anyway, have to be up early so time for bed and read a good book before nodding off...amazing I got past the first Q of this snooze fest.

 

This loss pulls GWS back to the pack.  Roll the Saints and we are just two points behind the GIants and a game from 3rd spot on the ladder.

Gees footy is a poor sport to watch at the moment. No highlights  just congestion 

like watching under 10s footy  spread out lads!

Pet -- the big problem is to beat the Saints at all, yet alone crush them (which we should).

Only by crushing wins the next three weeks will any trust be regained.

GWS will struggle to make the 8 a lot of ordinary players in that team and their not playing with any conviction.


Just watching roaming brian and he pointed out mitch clarke doing some photography work for the cats. Gee it feels like a lifetime  ago he was on our list.

[censored] Clark he's a [censored] like Scully.

Good bored, switch over to watch the old 60's tv show batman (So corny)..kids liked it.

Even with a group of their top players out where is the giants amazing depth.  Given the high number of top 15 picks they have had they aren't too different from any other team.  

Interesting comment during the game was the lack of change in plan by infield leaders during quarters to stop groups of goals against them.  Not waiting for the coach at breaks.  Happy the giants are not developing how many feared.

 

 

 

The media are banging in about Hawkins getting suspended for touching the hand of an ump. Wtf?! You can tell there was nothing interesting happening

He was reaching for the GWS player.  Ump got in the way.

He was set to smack the ump. Good judgment got in the way.

All the people complaining of the game being boring.
Makes me wonder if they've actually seen us over the last 10yrs.
Supporters in glass houses .......

Crushing wins should be a given, it what comes after that matters, a point that needs to be reinforced to the players. After round 3 some people were advertising the fact we were 3rd on the ladder and we all know what happened after that. 

Saints Etihad 

Suns Gabba

Blues MCG

Crows Traeger Park

Dogs Etihad

Pies MCG

Bye

Get to the bye undefeated and then maybe some trust will be regained. There is no more honourable losses for this club. 


Not overly surprised about the Giants.

The Doggies banner at the 2016 Preliminary Final summed it up.

'Our club was founded in blood and boots,

Not AFL focus groups'

When you play for a plastic club, expect efforts commensurate with a mercenary.

This run with an AFL funded team of top round draft picks and solid senior players won't last. Then what? They won't have attracted any more fans in Western Sydney than when they started.

I'd believe that if there actually was a GWS player within arm's reach at the time.  Looks more like he realised what he was doing and pulled back.  But what he should be got for is his frequent belting a player who takes a mark against him.  Serial offender.

Yep, another prime FTA slot tonight for the worst team in the league.    

A certain snooze on Ch7:  Adel vs Carlton!! 

Went to the game, cold and terrible to watch, contemplated leaving at half time as the skill level was atrocious. GWS were deplorable, no fight, no run, no leadership. They do have plenty of injuries but Cats have a few out also and Danger and Selwood didn't dominate. Tim Kelly is a star and Ratugolea can be a serious star if he gets his timing right going for marks.

Shiel seemed like the only one providing run and drive for GWS, can we get him? When the AFL planned the fixture they would've thought short odds to assume that this would be a highly skilled Friday night game but it was everything else but that, no good marks or freaky goals that I can remember.

A loss to GWS helps others in the race as they could've gone clear, but from what I've seen this year of them they aren't genuine contenders and I agree with Carey.

Today's games I'd like to see Dogs thump Suns so their confidence takes a beating, Bombers to upset the Hawks.

Feeling a bit nervous about Dees game, its one we should win very comfortably (40+) but we all know our bipolar performances too well, a loss to a severely depleted and woefully skilled STK would raise serious questions IMO.

Fingers and testicles crossed.

GWS' scoring capability is built around its talls and Greene. Take them out and they struggle to score. Watched the first quarter and while they had numerous entries into their forward line it was obvious which way the game would go.

Not sure about the length of the various injuries but no doubt it will shape their season.

Richmond are blessed by their continued run of almost no injuries.

Essendon v Hawks could be interesting especially the aftermath if Essendon are soundly beaten. The sun is just coming out so I may head in....

Stop Kennedy and everyone is a chance against the Swans.

Probably not after their confidence boosting win last week.

Watched North against Port last week live.... North no chance unless Swans kick themselves out of it. (6:16 or similar).

Not so sure about that, their back 6 go alright, so does Parker. With Buddy being out it makes them unpredictable. North are just a bit all over the shop.

  • 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.

    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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
