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!

Can I take that back....Ā 

Bombay i would be making an impassioned plea to the Mods to reinstate the delete option....and make sure it's before the final siren of the Tiges vs Freo match!

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

Iā€™m tipping a Freo in an upset.

????

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.

OMG Freo 4 goals deep into TO 4th Q

Hey Jesse - would you like to play in a Ross Lyon forward line ?

Brisbane down by only 4 points at the half to the Filth.

Get it done brizzy,

Pies and Lions are level with 2 minutes left!Ā  Can Brissie hold on?

nah.... Pies fill the media again this week :(

My god Brizzy have been unlucky this year. There much better than Carlton.

Ā 

Ā 

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: Essendon

    What were they thinking?Ā I mean by ā€œtheyā€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack.Ā Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryanā€™s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winningĀ 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    Itā€™s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
