When playing Richmond....

Play man on man, make them accountable.

When they take a mark inside fwd 50 they will always look to centre the ball to a teammate in a better position.

    Would love to have Dylan Grimes down back for us.

    Asked Prendergast about him in 2009. Ā Told me he wasnā€™t talented enough to make it in the AFL.

    How does one team (Eagles) get 33 frees and the opp (Port) get 13???Ā  Wouldn't affect the result but it must have been a doozie of a 'home crowd advantage'.Ā  33 vs 13 would have to be an all time record.Ā 

    Imagine how many more WCE would have had if Shuey had played the whole game!!

    It would be interesting if the AFL published the 'frees given' stats for each week for each umpire!!Ā  Given that everything else is up to public scrutiny I don't see why umpires are protected from being accountable.Ā  Can't see it happening tho.Ā 

    The Western bias is a phenomena unknown in any other form of professional sport LH.Ā  Yet the AFL sit back and are happy to allow it to continue year after year.

    Maybe we should rename the AFL the ACCC.....both totally inept at protecting the end user!

    St kilda will try and take a lot out of Norths win last night.. We have to be on our guard big time and be ready and switched on right from the start!.

    Now there are a couple of novel thoughts ...... I wonder if Goodwin and the players have thought of that? Ā Could be really useful.Ā

    If we needed any reassurance than stats can be totally misleading at times here's a cracker.....

    Tiges vs Freo Half Time

    Clearances - Tigers 8 /Ā  Freo 23

    Centre Clearances 1 / 7Ā  (Center clearances / Goals scored ...Ā  usually has a high correlation)

    Stoppage Clearances 7 / 17

    Nearly triple the clearances in favour of Freo!

    Score at half time 53 to 9 in favour of Richmond!

    Richmond continue to buck the trend on large negative differentials in this area.Ā  Has Hardwick implemented a significant change in the manner / style in which the game came now be played and won at the highest level in this area of play?

    Not so much their supporters. They're like a cross between Deliverance and Hurstbridge.

    Feel a bit sorry for Brisbane but what I noticed was the commentators carrying on about how tired the filth would be playing 3 games in 11 days. Okay we and richmond were 12 days butĀ don't we rate a mention of it as well. The carp about the filth in the media is sickening.

    Dumb decision in the end by Christensen. Glory over the % when they have Zorko and Rayner dominant in the final 5 at stoppages

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.Ā

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
