Yep, it’s official. Garry Lyon is a HORRIBLE commentator. FMD! 

i think the problem is that a lot of the commentators simply don't watch much football

they watch the games they commentate, sure, but otherwise they get the highlights and the clips that daniel hoyne and the champion data guys present to them

it means that the narratives that they want to tell based upon what they have seen are reinforced

There is absolutely no way Marshall doesn’t have a concussion test after last week.

And the same doctors care of Jay Schulz suddenly getting the scrutiny it needs. https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/south-australia/port-adelaide-former-player-jay-schulz-had-20-concussions-but-didnt-miss-a-game/news-story/44a9770a66a3db6e8ca360b109323c45?amp

after the 1st qtr, i bet my son 50 euro to 5 that Pies would win, feeling stupid now… But we enjoyed the win, pressure is everything, and we all know Melbourne can bring that.

Love the kid, not the odds

Tagging Daicos today was a bad move by Sam Mitchell?

Yes, Goodwin should look at tagging more to stop players like Noah Anderson and Zak Butters having their way with us like they did this year.

Did I say that?

We dominated the pies.

We put time into daicos and limited his impact - without having to sacrifice the output of one of our players or allow daicos to drag that player away from the contest.

Goody doesn't tag.

Take it up with the manager, Karen.

Of course i want Geelong to win so second spot is available but, honestly, i absolutely hate them. Has any Geelong player, EVER, accepted that the free paid against him was deserved.

I would love to see the dissent rule enforced against them.

So this is what it's like being a Geelong supporter. Nice. Knowing your team should lose but comforted by bizarre free kicks keeping you in it.

It’s funny you bring up Daniel hoyne as he is the only 1 not rating the pies right now but thinks our game is in great shape, pure stats man and called Geelong as premiers a fair way out last year

Vossy has figured out the pies, bring the physicality and they turn their toes up. Imagine Viney, Trac, Oliver, Sparrow watching that….

We won by four points and kicked less goals than them!

Daicos had 27 disposals and kicked a goal which got them within four points right at the end of the game.

Sam Mitchell just took his 16th placed team and destroyed Collingwood by 32 points and large part of that was keeping Daicos to just 5 disposals, even before going off injured he was totally ineffective in the game.

I know Goodwin doesn't tag, but he should.

Goodwin has a slightly better midfield than Mitchell tho….

You have to have someone with pace and discipline and endurance so who goes on him?

That's what jobbers like Jordon and Harmes are for.

I rather not carry them in the side and just back our midfield to beat anyone we play one on one. 

That doesn’t mean I don’t think we should try to limit the opposition’s best player. But I wouldn’t play a player in a purely negative role in a final. We don’t need to do that.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
