I have to agree. As I said, I didn't like him, but the highlights stand!

 

He could play. But he took out too many players behind the ball

I was there the day he punched Stephen Smith and Peter Giles

Never Forget it. His record is tainted, or should be

    I was there on both those occasions, and can only agree... That is why my acknowledgement of his ability has cred.

    I saw the Smith one. And who could forget Bruns. Today those charges may have stuck, and that would have been the end of him

    well, i thoroughly enjoyed that

    hard not to look on with incredibly envy

    Agreed,

    Hard fought game but instead of the thread being about a great game a troll comments about the 2009 draft and others still wallowing in self pity chime in. Ffs get over it it's 11 years ago.

    As for the game after poor first halfs Grimes, Broad and Balta all improved.  Tigers played Nankervis behind the ball in the 3rd quarter and Balta moved forward. Others are correct in the assessment of Dusty just putting his head over the ball and not looking for frees.

    Standard set for us to chase

    Best 

    Tigers -Dusty, Edwards, Short, Graham, Cotchin

    Cats - Duncan, Guthrie, Stewart, Menagola

    Melbourne have to get mentally tough and the way to do it ???????   A preseason with the Tigers is the answer.

     

    1 Dees need to do an SAS preseason 

     

    2 Goodwin needs to watch and strategically spend 100 man hours working out this game

     

    3 Tigers are completely beatable (they bleed) but clubs are too lazy to figure it out.  Watch how they get the footy to Short and Edwards to link through.  They are excellent kicks and had about 15 forward 50 entries tonight.

    How mature are the Tigers compared to our guys.

    Tigers - all the players, squad coaches , support staff sing the song. 

    Demons - sing the song and miss 3 players including the 6’10 captain.

    I'll stick with ablett thanks, he also managed to win a brownlow in a bottom side, dusty has been playing in a good side for the majority of his career

    Robbie Flower was better than him.

    zero Brownlows

    zero Norm Smiths

    After watching that just not buying CHF as our greatest area of need.

    Lynch and Riewoldt both got involved after half time, they were barely sighted in the first half. I’d say they were the two that got involved and provided the structure to steady the ship.

    Geelong will rue that opportunity for a long time, they were very close to having that game sewn up in the second quarter, just squandered their shots on goal

    I could have detailed more but refereing to Brown CHF as being our greatest need as in recruiting. Finals record 7 games, 9 goals, average of 8 disposals.

    I always feel empty after a GF. Not because I'm thinking one of my passions/interests is over for 6 months and there is now a void (Because I'll do something else), but because it makes me question why I even f...ing bother with it at all, watching these Richmond gooses carrying on. 

    And then like clockwork, I'll be back again next year with that absurd hope that it could be our year.

    Completely relate JD . . . although my emptiness is driven by the realisation, almost every year, that we are miles away from the standard required to win premierships.

    And the Tigers pay the players the same $$$ in salary cap as us, and yet some here defend our recruiters and list managers. It is time full a full and uncomprimising review of how we value players.

    We are miles away from winning a flag...we have holes in our list witch we can never fix eg no gun forwards & our last one was Neitz who retired in 08! Can’t inc Hogan as hardly played & Tom Mac had one flukey year,  we also have culture & leadership issues which raised their ugly heads throughout the season and continue to do so.

    • 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.
