By adjusting Casey Fields to Alphabet Stadium proportions for training this week all they needed to do is draw a straight line from pocket to pocket on the outer wing. 

 

When they decided to rebuild the entire place did nobody think to move it 5 metres to the left. 

Whinging about Kardinia Park being narrow. Keep it going, keep it going. |  Page 4 | BigFooty Forum

i'd prefer they move it 5 kilometres to bass strait

Agree, then there could be new talking point for the footy media every year -

Gerard Whately: with modern footballers and boots being so much better, and the distances they can kick, they really needed to give the goals some protection.

Dunstall: i don't' agree Gerard, i'm traditionalist and having row of gum trees 30 metre out directly in front of the goals that players have to kick over just doesn't feel right - what's next a water hazard?

Gerard: it's not 1992, the game must evolve. 

David King: according to Champion Data 38% of all kicks from the 53 metre mark have 16% chance of scoring which is higher than 15% and so the data is clear on this - we need more data to be clear on this. But to be clear i think Freo will finish top 4 this year, because they play the gum tree so well. 

Dunstall - didn't you say last week Freo would finish bottom of the ladder? 

King- yes, but i thought they were planting the Nyssa sylvatica not the Tristaniopsis laurina

You forgot one thing…

An infection that requires IV antibiotics and a relatively long hospital stay for these days would be quite severe and debilitating. He must have had a whopping fever, weight loss and risk of septicaemia and internal organ damage. His appears the type of infection that killed many healthy people in the days before advanced antibiotics. I believe the severity has been downplayed somewhat by the club.

Yep. Probably would have done in a fair share of dlanders and 50 years ago quite a few. That said, Go back 100 years and diarrhoea used to knock of a lot. The 1800s was a brave time to pass wind.

All of which makes me laugh anew at suggestions Oliver was soft for not playing with blisters.

From the afl injury page (such that is):

McStay has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Adelaide and will miss a few more weeks after suffering an infection in the finger he had surgery on back in April

My take is that we are confident enough in our midfield and  Sparrow to cover for Oliver, that we're giving him another week off. 😀

Essentially, we don't rate them...🤷‍♂️

Yeah maybe, but more my concern is that having an infection requiring an otherwise elite fitness human to have 5 days in hospital probably knocked him around a bit...

Hopefully recovery quick and fulsome 

Got seats in A10 at kardinia park. They were 50 bucks compared to most others that were 60 bucks. Does anyone know if that means they are restricted view? It didn't say that but still a tad concerned. Not sure if this is your area @FearTheBeard ?? 

 

Read that Danger field stated it is a good time to meet Melbourne for Geelong to get back on track. 

The hubris of this club grates me.  I hope Goody uses that as motivation to go after this mob.

Maybe ask Blicavs if he really was a Steeplechaser EO.

Great game. Both Melbourne & Geelong were vying for a finals berth. Gary Ablett kicked 11 but Melbourne still won.

My ticket cost $90 + booking fee. I couldn't see any tickets below $80 that became available to the general public after the GFC members passed them back. Not sure how people were able to get cheaper ones.

Why would the afl play the last 2 premiers on a Thursday nite in Geelong with a stadium that has restricted attendance due to construction whilst the G is empty & deny more people seeing the game, not to mention playing at their home ground 2 years in a row!

If you are referring to his words on SEN, he said we were among the best teams and ‘taking on the best is something players and the club should run toward’… it’s hardly hubris. How can it be? We have won the last two important games against them and humbled them in a Prelim.

Just watched, how good was Obst's goal at the end!

I've been there at least half a dozen times in the past years for Dees games. A10 is on the fence at the half forward flank. It's cold at night so rug up but the cheer squad sits here so you're in good company. The angle of seating is low which makes it hard to see the other side of the ground especially if there is someone tall sitting in front of you. But viewing is not  "restricted" by any structures as such. I've attached a couple of maps - hopefully they're helpful.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
