St Kilda heard of this concept called defense?

Yes, they were schooled in it only a week ago. But all the cool teams are into all out attack. Power teams like C'wood, Ess, Hawks, Blues.

    The AFL website studiously avoids mention of the crowd size. Maybe their calculators don't go down that low. (They're mostly used for counting exec bonuses.)

    I never believed the St Kilda hype.

    The commentators seem very determined to maintain it though. “St Kilda right in this!” “St Kilda a very good team!” Etc. St Kilda have been putrid so far, no defensive structure and so fumbly and rushed moving forward!

    St Kilda just bomb it into the forward line, now who does that remind you of?

    The competition can’t sustain any more teams, so for many having 19 or 20 teams creates new problems. Any relocation / new team will obviously be a long term venture. It may not get seasoned fans to jump straight on board straight away but some will. Over the years kids will grow up knowing nothing else but supporting them and the fan base will grow. I personally think one issue Tasmania faces should they get a team is player retention, as picturesque and beautiful as it is I don’t think it will hold the appeal for everyone (and yes I’ve lived there for several years).

    But as you say you’ll support it as a second team and that’s half the problem. 
    Everyone in Tassie already has a team. Would you drop Melbourne to barrack for the Tassie side? No you wouldn’t.

    Do you know many others who would?

    Eventually you’ll have kids barracking for them organically but it’ll take years and success to make it happen. 

    I’m not actually advocating for a Tassie team. I don’t have any need for one, as like I said, I have a team, and so do most others. Just saying that if “we” did get one, I wouldn’t want it to be Norf.

    It’d be a bit weird as a mascot though given Tasmania has very few Kangaroos. The only Kangaroo indigenous to Tassieis the Forester Kangaroo and there are sadly very few of these left. Of all the states to have a team called ‘Kangaroos’ Tassie would be the silliest pick.

    Norf are a beggar bowl club. Will go anywhere for some $$$$. $10 could buy you 2 reserved seats for the game.

    On the goal cameras, they are good but when it suits look like VGA quality.

    Kolodjashnij having a great game today.  Knocks out Jack Higgins (subbed out with concussion) then follows up his good work slamming captain Steele in to the Marvel concrete damaging his ACL.  Makes up for him missing targets.

    Saints look ordinary, don’t they?  Meggs was surprised they got so much media praise last week for their 38 point loss to us.

    Nobody in Victoria thinks anyone wants Norf, don’t worry.

    But the second half Meggs? Media thought they were awesome. We were in neutral for most of it.

    Geelong need to get out of neutral cos the media might be onto something 😎

    Just now, Sir Why You Little said:

    The Aints have gone bezerk 

    Kicked 7 goals that quarter. In the corresponding quarter last week agains Melbourne, they also tried to make their move and wound up scoring 2 goals to 1.

    Pretty solid effort from the boys in that context.

    This time tomorrow we are likely to be 5 games and 50% clear inside the 8. After nine rounds.

    It ain’t about making the 8. 

    With Lions and Freo up and about, top 2 is what matters

    Just an observation DD. I'm well aware we have far bigger fish to fry.

    This is terrible I know, but every time Tom Hawkins is in a marking contest, I silently hope for an injury.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
