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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
