POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs St. Kilda

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Greqt interview with Tracca.

[WA Demon Boy 966]

- Get ready to see more #36 on the kids Dees jumpers 

- Fritta to have 1,000  shots this week at training

- Clarry to get more recognition (if we lose him end of year we are screwed) 

- Players need to look at cutting out the cute crap and just do the basics 

- May and Lever held up well (did some clumsy things but that happens0

- Tomlinson played really, really well (hats off to him)

- Tracc another solid game



Should be no change to the team heading into next week

Really liked Jacko in the guts and Max up forward 

 

[BDA 22,755]

So much for the st kilda fleet of small forwards. They are an average side.

The youngsters played very well. Some loose handpassing and wrong options at times but we have some real talent.

Must kick straighter. It will cost us if we don;t sort it out.

And a bit of Practice at Casey next week... Just too costly to keep playing him

Good to get the win. 19 behinds is deplorable though, and letting Howard just amble back and take intercept marks is poor form. We need a forward line. Good to see Petracca lower his eyes inside 50 at times, hopefully some of the others saw that and realise that it can be done. Its basic football and we are beyond pathetic at delivering inside 50. Good signs from a lot of players (mostly those not in the forward line). Majority team effort.

Have to clean up our entries into 50 and our finishing no doubt about it.

Smashed them in close and in the center clearances.

Sign Clarry and Tracc ASAP for F sakes Dees hirarchy. Bartlett, Pert get the pair locked away.

Tommo proving the doubters wrong and living up to his contract.

[WERRIDEE 5,479]

Great win. Clarry, Gawny, Trac and Kosie electrifying. Kossie what a star. Bring on the Giants

Bit harsh. The man has bills to pay.

[Uncle Fester 2,848]

If we ever learn to hit targets - players or the scoreboard we’ll be a bloody good team... until then yuk

[SPC 3,549]

Saints look tired.. might have struggled from the bog last week..

GWS are favourites next week.. why??

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

Get to the MCG v the cats.

We are finally worth watching

He does lead to pockets.

most would think the pockets are a larger degree of difficulty 

bloke nailed a crucial goal...from the pocket. 
 

im satisfied. ?

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

Missed a percentage boost chance, Saints backline would have to be one of the worst rolling around.

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,547]

While I'm thinking about it, this might be super strategic for next week, but I reckon we do a sneaky marking/kicking practice sesh this week.

GWS won't know what hit 'em.

[Dame Gaga 2,453]

Tomlinson did very well in the shadow of May and Lever. 

Wherever Kozzie is, the ball will follow him. He's a pure soul, he just enjoys his footy, "having fun." Love him.?

Over rated till the cows come home, flat track bullies, down hill skiers not an ounce of midfield defensive pressure amongst them.

 

[3183 Dee 2,853]

We won a lot more out of the middle today - some great passages of play. Our turnovers and inaccuracy were the blight on the game. Fix those things - or at least reduce by 50% and we have the makings of a v good team. Loving the toughness this year, also.

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

So happy, Saints had the better of us for about 10 mins in the second but very impressed with the way we swung the momentum back.

One of Salem’s best games, he was unreal today.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Really good win, especially when we looked in big strife in the second. In the end, we really should have won by 30+.

Our setup behind the ball is first class. I just hope we don’t rely too heavily on winning the ball back in defence, we need to stay ahead of the game and what the good sides will throw at us. But bloody hell, Tomlinson, Gawn, May and Lever just set up another wall.

[Demonstone 22,526]

I'd just like to endorse all the other posters in their praise for Goodwin outcoaching Ratten.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,703]

He did coach well i only watched till half time last week some definite changes have been made.

Long may it continue, only two weeks in, keep it up Simon and the coaching team.

You forgot Salem . Huge game.

Tomlinson was fantastic tonight

[Jaded No More 68,915]

Viney will be better for the run. Started like a house on fire but then looked really lethargic as the game wore on.

[Grumpy 26]

Good day for the Dees!

Really gutsy win for the ladies and (almost) a dominant win for the boys! If only they could kick straight! 

Salem awesome tonight! Oliver great again! Tomlinson our most reliable defender? 
Kozzie so exciting, Swallow, Rivers  and Jordon solid, Jacko getting better each week. Youngsters were good! 
Howard did to us what May and Lever did to Freo last week. 
Need Viney and Brayshaw to do more.

Need to hold marks.

Need to kick straight.

Melksham and Hibberd to come back maybe next week. Then BB and Weid. 

Could be anything this year! Opportunity is there, need to grab it. 

[adonski 12,143]

Tomlinson gone from average recruit to Mr. Reliable, two excellent games in a row, one of the first picked.
