I actually think North will be fine. A whole heap of their best 22 is injured, and many of those are in the 22 - 26 year old category. They also have some younger guns who need 1 or 2 seasons to become very good players. They will end up bottom 4, trade for some early draft picks and be OK. 

Hawthorn are playing as poorly as Adelaide, but their coach is so good it rarely shows as being that bad. They have 2 - 3 years of pain but if Clarkson stays they will be in the final soon, as much I as I hate to say it. But at least the Hawks v Swans game was watchable. Even in the wet, some of the individual efforts and skills were great to watch.

Papley's so good ... 4 goals so far.

Yep Papley is very good, so glad he is not playing for Carlton.

Just watching Clarko’s presser and I’m stunned that he opened by saying he was pleased with his players’ endeavour. He emphasized it again a couple of minutes later. 

Sorry, but there were a few players in brown and gold who showed very little endeavour at all.

Also had a go at the umpires. Poor form when you lose the way Hawthorn did today.

Probably second guessing his President inevitably blundering into the media in the next 24 hours, shooting his mouth off about this effort not being what Hawthorn is about, blah, blah, you know the spiel! 


Gee, the St Kilda ball use is ordinary.

We reckoned ours was bad but under no pressure they fail to hit targets.

Interested in the views of others but it does not appear to be a great crowd for a clash between two top 8 teams in a city deprived of football.

Entire stands empty if you look closely.

Good game though @Diamond_Jim, Saints look like they are in trouble with possibly 3 injuries. Kent can’t take a trick.

Charlie Dixon is a monster, well done to him for pushing himself to get to this level.

20,000 Cap on the crowd

wait til 2021...

a close game is a good game, been pretty happy with the footy this round so far

Absolutely loving Hawthorn being Brad Pitt, hoping it lasts another 20 years. Very flawed thinking behind having both Frawley and Frost together in the same backline, ultimate butcher brothers.  Hope they keep Puopolo, McEvoy, Burgoyne, Smith, Frawley and Scully on their list, chewing up salary space and all well past their best. Clarko’s press conferences are just so enjoyable, can’t wait for the next instalment

Has anyone got a clue on the holding the ball rule this week/ minute ?

It’s so hard to get a handle on isn’t it? “Prior opportunity” is non existent.

Chad Cornes is a [censored].

Well I’ve got no clue Cards   - that’s for sure 

The quality of ball movement that quarter was awful (haven’t been watching prior). It seemed like wet weather football. 


My old man and brother are mad Saints supporters so I have a bit of a soft spot for them.

I do like the energy they have around the contests and there speed around the ground. 

If they didn’t choke with big leads against Roos and Dockers they’d be 6 and 1 this year.

I don’t think there is a lot of star power there so Ratten (who I’ve always rated) is doing a cracking job getting them up and about. 

Hope they bring it home with a few dodgy free kicks so the crowd torch the joint. Very very jealous of those who are able to attend.

Surely you’re onboard with the Cornes comment? 
One rule I struggle with is holding the man, players who never gather possession, even though they might be trying to, and 95% of the time when tackled it’s play on.

hill, marshall, and billings are all excellent footballers, with gresham not far behind them, and king shows a lot of promise

aints are good to watch

Clearly The Hoff is saving his best for us next week. He’s been terrible the last fortnight.

Maximum of 20,000 in the crowd... But they arent spread out across the stands/seats.

Yes definitely some talent there and some good players across the list.

If you ranked the top 50 players in the comp though would they have any listed? Not sure. 

Rihht now they’re looking at a top 4 ladder spot which is about 10 spots higher than where I would have had them in March.

 

 

Well done Saints. Was hoping that Port would win to make it easier for us...

jack steele is the best run-with player in the competition at the moment, so i'd definitely have him and hill, plus probably billings, in the top 50 players in the game this year

marshall not far off it either

  • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
