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!

Anyone reckon port are a chance?? 

I may or may not drunkenly bet $50 on port to win. Wines, Dixon and ebert back. 

God I hate the cats

puddy tatts have a terrible post-bye record

so yes, the pear are a massive chance

Wort fans try to con umps for constant frees.

Dodgy bunch that should be turned back at every border crossing even in the off season.

 

Poor poor puddy cats. Had to leave their cosy home and and travel long way and play footy at someone else's house.Puddy cats didn't like dat.

Get on the phone to his manager Josh if you haven't already...Richo would be a great addition to our FD.

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


Go Doggies. 

30 minutes of footy with no goals

footy is alive and well!! ?

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: 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
