Lions by 7 points 20 mins gone in 2nd quarter

Lions by 70 points at 3/4 time ?

    I really didn't think we'd be passing anyone on percentage this season, but the Saints look like they have decided to dangle that particular carrot in front of us.

    Compared to their early season run, it would seem that it is their defensive side which is really falling away.

    Scores against the Saints

    Rounds 1 to 5  - 84, 65, 71, 69, 55 = 68.8

    Since round 6 - 97, 114, 88, 112, 55 (Blues), 139, 76 = 97.3

    And tonight's running tally of 113 with 20 minutes to go.

    Richo should probably start updating his resume, methinks. 

    You're just saying that because he has had a longer tenure already than any St Kilda coach except Allan Jeans.

    Fun fact - even if Richardson coaches out the full season, finishing with an entire season longer in charge than Thomas or Lyon, he will still have coached fewer games than either of them!

    Knowing our luck, we’ll play them after the bye next year and they’ll break that hoodoo against us.

    That was a bog ordinary Pies vs Bulldogs game.

    So frustrating that clubs playing poorly are doing enough to rack up the wins:  WCE, Pies, Port, Crows, Lions haven't set the world on fire but there they are at the top of the tree. 

    It was really a year for the taking.  Will be hard to watch an average team take out the premiership.

    David King's interesting insight into how-port-adelaide-picked-apart-geelongs-game-plan

    "...Geelong’s modus operandi had been for all the forwards to stay on the ground, with the exception of the marking target...the Cats’ smalls such as Gary Ablett and Gryan Miers were setting up around bigger marking targets like Tom Hawkins as if they were attending a stoppage...“We saw on the weekend Ken Hinkley say to his defenders, ‘one-on-one, no one leaves their man. You’re responsible to a role, you’ll stay on the ground and we’ll trust the guy in the contest".  

    Simple roles with simple instructions.  Hinkley caught the cats napping.

    We like to play 'our brand' but even when it works it often is not enough.  There is a lot to be said for different tactics to counter opp strengths.  Hinkley has been very good at that this year.  Dismantled us, the cats and will do it to other unsuspecting coaches this year.

    This year 1 vs 1 defence has become the winning formula.  We still play mostly a zone/team defence.  Who knows how long it can continue as opps know how to counter that game plan. 

    Looking fwd to see how we adjust our defence plan and any tricks Goodwin finds to dismantle other team's game plans.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
