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…

    YOU GOT BEATEN BY WHAT YOU KNOW! ALWAYS GET BEATEN BY WHAT YOU DONT KNOW.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
