OK.  A few minutes away from all the contract talk; there is a game to be played in a few days!

 

This thread is a bit late this week as not much to report.  The bf posters seem fixated with selections and very little about the game/opposition.  A bit of pessimism no optimism. 

  • We need ruck cover or Melbourne will destroy us, if we play Murray again our defence will get opened up.
  • They can't accept ROB getting smashed every week. Jackson will destroy him with his athleticism and pace. At least Murray has a bloody good leap on him and will compete at centre bounces
  • Not complaining about the ruck, he impacted really well. but if we go with just Butts as a tall while he rucks we will get opened up down back. North didn't make us pay, Melbourne will.
  • If he (Crouch) plays melbourne will isolate fritsch on him and fritsch will kick 8 on him. Clubs wont let him be an intercept, they will play through his man and work a favorable match up
  • if we pick Frampton, Melbourne will stick someone (like Fritsch) on him and tell the mids to play through Frampton who is not good one-on-one.
  • Nathan Schmook on afl.com seems to think a Newchurch debut (for McAdam) should be a lock.
  • His call is Newchurch for McAdam, Jones for Hamill and and Thilthorpe to return for McHenry.
  • Nah, this will be a lot closer than anyone will believe.  We match up so well on them, particularly in the mid field.... wait.

My favourite:

  • We would get done for tanking playing Davis.

    I’m so far from confident after last years debacle.

    Never fear Mr G.

    They don't have Seedsman this year.  We will be ready for their 'charge the defence through the corridor' tactic.

    Also, we have now learnt to defend a lead so they won't beat us again in the final 8 minutes after being 16 points down.

    With a bit of luck it will be umpired better not that it should have come to that, last year.

    Dees by 6-8 goals!

    I don't know about others but I was starting to take wins for granted, and this came to a head in the Hawks win as well as the WC/North fortnight.

    Definitely won't be taking this win for granted given how tight the ladder is and the fact they beat us last year.

    Hopefully last year's loss will sharpen their attitudes going into Saturday.

    Computer says No

    But 6 goals was very close to the pin.

    • 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.
