Garlett may have been a bit quiet, but he has laid 6 tackles this evening.  You can't fault that effort, even if we all wish he had hit the scoreboard a little more.

 

Nice leading chest mark to Hogan. With how many entries we get, we should see that from him 10 times a game.

 

Hogan has been reading the forum!

he led, they kicked it too him, he marked... simples

edit: kicked the goal too, the perfect finish to a perfect passage of play

If Oliver isn’t a pure star, I don’t know who is. Seriously he is insane.

FFS, we're over 50 points up in Darwin. You'd think we're down by 80 with some of the negative Nancy stuff

I was just about to write - I've done a hell of a lot of whinging for what's going to turn out to be a 10-12 goal win!

 

I think the changes this week have been ok


Lewis fresh kicking the footy at every opportunity. Bend down old man.

No, but you can fault his lack of impact.

Looked superb, but it's hard to do when there are generally 8 other players standing in front of him most of the time.  If you give him the space he'll lead up and mark it 9 times out of 10.


Note to self eff ark is sweary

child 1 is going to be wearing a Fritschkrieg jersey. Lotta love

Probably because we should be up by 80

For his first game back for a while, I'll take 13 touches, 6 tackles and a goal.  He can build on that in the coming weeks and I've liked his pressure in the forward half of the ground.

22 inside 50s for Freo could well be the impact we wanted from Jeffy and his tackles.

Jeez reading this thread... Who knew we'd win by ten goals.

With respect, mate, that is a very, very long bow.

Self protection mechanism - complain until siren sounds with a win. Based on work cover advice

8:8 since half time v 5:15 in the first half

I think it's just a bit of pragmatism based on the significantly under-strength and youthful opposition.

We're not going to get away with this amount of wasted forwards opportunities against a half decent team.  

Around the ground we've been fantastic though.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.
