Did something happen in GWS' game

Second quarter showing 37 minutes on AFL site

AFL site does that you have to refresh for it to show half time.

    Bit weird watch Weid play well and then a GWS forward line with Bedford and Hogan in it.

    That's one glaring problem right there that's so easy to fix. Mark gets spoilt and punched forward to waiting opposition. So predictable 

     

    It become so predictable by the 2nd quarter that now opposition teams just swam in numbers to the contest that'd been kicked to and just put number us.

    Port did a number on this on our kick outs.

    Listening to Nathan Buckley comment on how well Collingwood are playing is odd.

    Whats changed since they finished 17th Bucks - seeings it’s 90% the same list? Oh, you got sacked.

    Has all the skills, my problem was his intensity, goes to show a regular game and structure in the forward line helps, I wonder where we could do that?

    Can’t help but feel we dropped the ball with Weed. We have TMac BBB and Schache doing very little when the Weed in the forward line with JVR who provides the intensity could have worked well.

    St Kilda showcasing the Belgian national colours.

    The Saints actually switched to those colours during WWI as the German colours were red, black and white.

    Saints win the award for the best indigenous jumper in my opinion

     bizarre that not many have used yellow. especially essendon who have the other two colours on the flag

    Toby Bedford can run but little impact. 

    Gritty win by the Saints. Would gladly take Wanganeen Milera off their hands.

    And who's fault is that we have a ruckman as a forward coach, should have changed it last year, kids like JVR and co need to learn forward craft at this level.

    The best batting coach I had was a world class bowler. One of the greatest swimming coaches of all time - couldn't swim. It is beyond dispute that there is little correlation between a coach's competence and their capabilities as a athlete.

    West Coast are putrid. Melbourne 2012-2014 level putrid.

    I reckon WC are setting new levels in this space BDA, not doing an AFL pre season type levels.

    How can the highest profiting club in the country not have a world class fitness and conditioning crew.

    The amount of injuries they have is unforgivable, it seems as though they have carried over the old can't train because of covid 19 excuse.

    Do they have a medical department?

    It's the biggest tank going around on wheels and know one in the media in either WA or VIC have dug up a thing.

    This is as systematic as it gets and Adam Simpson isn't even under pressure because the board have backed him to tank the lights out in 2022 and 2023.

    They were dead set turnstiles today.

    he got every chance in 2022. If he had come on we might have had a different outcome.

    Good luck to him at the Bombers but his time with us was up.

    Jesse Hogan on the other hand...

    Wait and see how he goes when Wright  and Jones return. He is playing with more run and leading I admit but for how long.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • 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.
