Dangerfield just the 14 disposals last night.

Was he tagged?

Nope, blown up after round 2.  Expect 1 or 2 dominant quarters and 2 or 3 totally missing.

    I must admit that jeremy cameron bloke finds some very innovative ways to stuff up.

    Is he over rated?

    Mills and Dangerfield spent the entire night next to each other when Geelong had the ball or at stoppages, but when the swans had it Mills was running around on his own (and had 29 possessions).

    Damn it I feel asleep during last quarter and missed Buds 1000. 
    The two games so far this round really show the difference when a team is kicking well. 
    Dogs 13.12 90 v Carlton 16.6 102

    Swans 17.5 107 v Cats 10.17 77

    I think it’s an area that we will need to improve on if we want to win back to back flags. 

    There can surely be no dispute that straight kicking enhances the chances of winning .... and successful dynasties always seek to improve, so of course we can do better.

    21.14 in the GF wasn't good enough for you? 🤔

    Needs to be sustained, and improved upon.

    23 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    bloods look really, really good - have a strong defensive mindset and set-up

    mccartin x2, rampe, and flankers is a solid back six

    Don’t forget we bid on Heeney and Mills meaning we in theory rated them above Oliver and Petracca.
     

    In reality we would have just bid on them knowing Sydney would still take them but it just shows how obsurd the advantage they get from their academy is.

    Media has already changed the narrative to him being a good bloke for giving the guy his wallet back. 

     

    In no way is it deliberate, the bloke in black is running full pelt at him and Tuohy is trying to get out of the way of all the other people. 

    It’s a prime example of why this tradition is dangerous (I still love it!) but then he find the guy to give his wallet back. Pretty decent of him.

    Just like Shaun Higgins.

    Seriously, how can someone be rested after only 1 game into a season.

    Sydney is a premiership contender this year. A seriously good side.

    I can't help but feel Geelong are pretenders. Many were fooled into thinking they'd made major strides after Round 1. In reality, I suspect that was just a case of Essendon being putrid. Up against a genuine side, they went to water.

    Nev Jetta is the pies defensive line coach today. Gross.

    Love the guy but that first glimpse of him in a pies polo was all kinds of wrong.

    Wouldn't it be wonderful if the crows won.

    As they always do. Cats to old, to slow and fall apart when pressure applied. Wonder if Scott comes up with another excuse.

    If Swans had Paps back it could be a top four spot but they certainly look the goods at present.

    Carlton somewhat a surprise package and will be interesting to see how they continue.

    You beat me to it. The last 10 minutes of the second quarter was poorly umpired and it ALL went Collingwoods way.

    Gee we've come off the high of buddy to some pretty average games. I expect the pies to roll Adelaide & dons v lions doesn't interest me except if the lions start thrashing them which I hope happens.

    I don't even want to think about nth v eagles tomorrow.

    The latest was just a ruse. A false alarm but the pies fans still managed to ransack the MCC

    Yea word to the wise just sweat on your opponent and let him pick up the ball. Defenders deserve some leeway.

    I wish we were playing at 1:45 at the G. Just looked at our fixture & we don't play at day game until round 7 even then that's not until 4:35. 

    I get being premiers we get put on at night but I do like a day game

    Early season games can be hard to judge. Sydney started last season in the same form, winning the first four. You need early wins but you really don't want your team flying.

    Adelaide started 3-1 last year, then only won 4 more games for the rest of the year. Richmond started 2-0 and missed the finals.

    Brisbane started 1-3 and finished top 4. Essendon started 1-4 and made the finals. GWS started 0-3 and won a final.

    Looks like Collingwood have thrown down the challenge to Carlton to be March premiers. The juggernauts that they are.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
