For anyone watching - are Weeds marking and goals impressive or easy goals/free kicks?

 

Thats better from Laurie.  Chandler doing quite well.  Pretty standard.  Run under a couple he probably could have marked in contests but doing quite well so far (at this level).

he's working the f50 perfectly, just as he always does as the main option

he and sideshow bob essentially play the same role - it's no surprise that they struggle to gel as a key forward combination

Interesting that our otherwise magnificent brains trust can’t work out something that will get / allow the combination to work. 
Something like -

1/ Ben you lead right, Sam stay home

2/ Sam, you lead left, Ben, you stay home. 
 

Surely that sort of thing would have to stop double teaming and keep the defenders on their toes, even if either of BB SW had no intention of the ball coming their way that time. Can’t double team both.

Never want to see umpire Nicholls in the AFL again. Absolutely clueless.

Bounced one metres beyond the circle and didn’t recall it.   Do the umpire selectors just go on how many recalls are done so it is better for a poor bouncer to just ignore recalls. 

Weid’s getting to it a lot, but two-grabbing almost every time, and getting spoilt. Turner, Van Rouyen and Ellison’s marking hands are better. Would be shocked if someone doesn’t pick up Ellison in the MSD.

I believe the MSD was just this week. I don't think Ellison was selected?


My God Michael Hibberd is a good footballer. 

Piggy having a VN second half.  Spreading & sharing well

Casey forwards can't buy a mark

There's no immediate genuine KF option.  Mitch handy as a lead up or tall (get ball to ground) back up option for this season.

Will need to trade in a big hitting impact forward for 2023 imv.

Any notes on AVR?  How is he handling the slippery conditions?

he wasn't, given that it was during the week

surely someone will give him a chance at the end of the season

Is there any position White cant play haha

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
