Recommended Posts

Our system in place today and the players who implemented it were huge.

Lots of to work on eg. goal kicking going forward.

No Clarry, No Petty all positive got to take our chances next time we face them when the stakes are greater.

Not going to pretend that Van Rooyen was best on ground and I'm not going overcook the praise for what was overall just a pretty good game, but...

Van Rooyen didn't miss.

On a level with the Harmes-to-Fritsch clearance kick in the Grand Final for turning point moments.

And as he ran in for the shot he looked... happy. It was uncanny. It was as if he already knew it was a goal.

I have full confidence whenever he has a shot. He never changes his routine.

Sorry adonski but you have to watch him live to appreciate his value to the team. 

Neal-Bullen 

Sorry Dee Zephyr, but no amount of hard running, corralling and ‘trying hard’ would make up for the fumbling, poor disposals, inability to win a ‘one on one’, inability to take a contested mark, as well as being below par for disposals and hitting the scoreboard. 
If he is such a defensive beast why haven’t we seen him in a ‘run with’ role ?

It was one of his better games this year.

Correct. He played on Josh Daicos and was very good. 
Chin was ok. Spargo did nothing hence he was subbed. 
Kosi seems to me to be carrying an injury. Barely got out of first gear and didn’t make the distance from 40 out.

The value of an in-form Salem can’t be overstated. He was excellent today. Brought the physicality and composure in key moments. Will be massive for us at the pointy end.

He’s a [censored] but 100% not a Trump supporter.

Seems to have the brain capacity to be a Republican. 
Either way he is an average player and an average sportsman. Embarrassing from him.

Think I'd need a NASA telescope to appreciate what he 'does'

8th and 9th in the last two best and fairests, suggests that maybe you aren't sure what you are looking for?

His defensive forward efforts and hard running were solid today. And he kicked a clutch goal.

He is the epitome of a sore loser Yank. No doubt he voted for Trump. 

Too many Yank sportsmen are sore losers by nature. When they lose it’s because they haven’t cheated hard enough.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
