Should have won by 200

McDonald slowly getting some confidence back, Pickett too

 

Could have should have but they don't give you 8 points if you do.

    Rivers was pretty quiet today. 
    with Bowey and Gus playing terrific defensive footy and Jordon owning the wing he could find himself out of the team in the coming weeks with Salem nearing a return.

    This is what the top tier do.

    Our execution first half was magnificent under great pressure from St. Kilda (to the expense of their ball movement which improved a lot in the second half). We then absorbed their best while remaining steady.

    Tomald was great today. He keeps that up and he’ll stay in the team till September. The great man may have a third wind based on that. I was convinced he was on his last legs before today but I may have to eat a cement mixer full of humble pie.

    Lap it up kids!

    When an opponent seems to have a bit of momentum it’s efforts like Spargo’s that make it very hard for them to score against us. Not giving up on the play after one tackle he quickly puts on another one and just made Membrey rush the kick forward early in the last. 
    Goes a long way to winning games and absolutely loving what this team is doing at the moment.

    I just love how little stress I feel watching footy these days. I expected us to do that today. My MFCSS is a thing of the past.

    Jury not in yet, but definitely played himself to 201. I'm happy for him, back to his best today.

    He performed when the game was there to be won and against the highest rated team we've played all year playing a high pressure game.

    Some great attack on the pill, presented well, a number of score involvements including some up the field (work ethic).  Competed well at ground level and kicked two VN goals.

    If we got that or similar most weeks from Plugga he's gonna be very hard to dislodge this season, injury aside.

    I had this weird feeling before the game, one that I'd never felt before. I'd heard other supporters talk about it but I thought it was a myth.

    'Confidence', I think it's called. I was 'confident' going into this match and it turned out to be well placed.

    Weird.

    After the dominate part in the second qtr I reckon we bombed it long to moser stationary targets/packs and that must be addressed. 
     

    In saying that we had some horrible moments and some amazing moments. Still miss Salem so much, Trac has a few levels to go, Tmac looked good marking and contesting which was good to see.
    Langdon… just wow.

    Clarrie will be the best MFC player ever by careers end if he keeps on.

    It's beautiful isn't it? I am enjoying my football just as much as last year but in a completely different way.

    While I'm not looking forward to a loss, I'm simply not worried about it. I'm enjoying every game, celebrating ever win and am already looking forward to finals.

    His marking was back, everything else comes from that. When he is clunking the ball he is a very hard match up.

    How good was Langdon?

    Brayshaw was huge when needed, May and Viney as well. Tough and hard.

    I like the way they help the opposition up off the deck when needed, then drive them into it when needed, like Zac Jones. We got the better Jones!

    Tell me about it.

    When they got to within 22 with 8 minutes to go, I’d have being pooing a brick in years gone by. 

    This time my feeling was that even if they jag another to get within 16, it’ll take a good 2 to 3 minutes for that to happen.

    Teams just don’t pile on goals against us in short bursts of time. The last team to do it to us was Geelong in round 23 last year,  and it’s not like it mattered much in the end they had.

    Played a fantastic first quarter and a half but credit to St Kilda they didn’t drop their heads and came back at us hard

    System and defensive structures neigh on impregnable

    Quiet today but 15 straight for Bowsey is a record. Well done son

    8-0 and travelling nicely

    Go Dees

    Three clangers notwithstanding.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
