an important match up today. west got 20 touches, godfrey only 9, but i thought godfrey checked him pretty close today. i thought it was a reasonable tagging job. godfrey didnt hold him and tug him, like some other taggers do, just followed him closely and stood in between west and the ball.

did anyone see what happened on the city wing in the 3rd quarter? i missed it but mclaren was looking straight at it and let it go. but godfrey was on the ground for a while and west was running away from him. the umps then watched godfrey pretty closely for the rest of the match.

anyone see it? and howd you think godfrey played?

Pretty good effort considering west averages 32 disposals a game. I though Bell was equally as important shutting down his opponents.

Did not hear what happened to Godders, but from what i heard there was plenty of behind the play argy-bargy going on. Godders got up, so all is good.

Godders is playing well enough to keep his spot every week.

That's two good weeks in a row by Godders. I'd almost given up on him as a tagger, but now we are playing one on one footy, he has come back into it. I shouldn't have been surprised, one thing we know about Godders is he won't throw in the towel and gives it everything he's got.

BTW the commentary made specific mention of the incident and said it would be reviewed. There was also an incident with Neita and Harris where he gave away the free and was then dragged. Apparently Neita told the umpires he should be reported for it and they said "OK". Make of that what you will.

I actually thought Godders was off West in the last, and that is probably where he got most of the ball. Up to half way through the third, he only had 10 or so possies.

thats 3 weeks - west, burgoyne and goodes

didnt that incident involving neita end up in a free kick the bulldogs way?

yeah i agree with that, i looked for both but didnt see much of either. im not sure why they did that, gooders was having a lot of success...maybe they were worried godders was gonna hit back?

West got frustrated, because Godders was being a pest and following him around like bad breath. I think he just gave him a little wack, Goodes style.

Well done Godders, that's 3 out of 3... and dare I say it, his 9 disposals were probably all to advantage too! :o

Yep same incident. I should have said resulted in a free to the bulldogs. The vision afterwards of Neita on the bench showed him speaking to the coach and doing all the talking (when you get dragged you usually do the listening - but Neita was clearly unhappy about something)

Neita gets fired up, but he's not usually that vocal, he was not a happy camper!

Great work again from godfrey, he has finally learnt the 'art' of tagging. West was well held and didn't really have any influnce on the game. Looks like Godders knows how to get under people's skin, which i think has defineately helped him become a better tagger .

i was front row between the goal and point post and saw harris smack holland in the back with a elbow and you heard and allmight whack, if there is footage it might be looked at due to the goodes incident

Yeah condemned. i was there as well. the boundary umpire was right next to it, and did nothing about it. Similar to the Goodes incident. Another gutless act against one of our players

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
