I don't understand the shepherding in the ruck rule at all

 

 

Garlett shoulder? Oh man. He was looking like he might get a spot too.

Based on his five possessions in one half of a JLT game? 


Good first quarter. Poor effort since. A lot of our depth players are clearly a level below the standard required.

Dees very ragged and being at ground level. And sport to day it but Petracca looks slow, overweight and not that interested. 

Funny Ernest I watched him last week and while he had a reasonable game I thought he looked overweight in that game. For part of the first quarter I keep wonder who was the new overweight guy in no. 5.

More like a broken arm

A lot of second tier players not pushing for the firsts with this effort,

Harsh assessment for the first game of the year in 35 degree heat.  Plus we're playing a pretty much full strength Richmond side.  This was always going to happen.

The one thing we're struggling with at the minute though is the ball hitting the deck.  They are picking it off with ease which is allowing them to do as they please.

Thank goodness the commentators are at least smart enough to acknowledge the players we have missing and how it's impressive we are as close at the minute.

His backside is his most prominent feature OD

And shepherding in the marking contest either

More about the lack of form of some of the other small forwards. He's done a few good things.

Shoulder is strapped.

Dunstall has just said it all - nearly half the team out, and most of our best players. No panics yet. Of course Dermie tries to intellectualise an opposite view. Absolutely no idea what he said or what he meant?


JKH must not play senior football this year. Great trainer, good vfl player, but he has continual proven over the last half decade that he is not up to afl standard.

still a while to go but that to me is what is the most disappointing.

much the same as last year when injuries opened up some mid field spots.

You would hope one or two would push for selection

Not sure how anyone is bothered by this. Only thing to be concerned about is Jeffy.

Richmond are the arsiest team in history, using a low skill game plan.

If they had kicked straight this would be a massacre. 

Melbourne after 1/4 time look like an absolute rabble.

For Goodie I can see any value in the game at all

We're just bombing it to contests. This is not good. 

That's the game plan man.
Goody calls it chaos ball.
I call it mindless rubbish.

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
