Forest Demon

If I had played a blinder, I would be straight onto Demonland to see if I polled in the DL player of the year and my three word analysis. Seriously, you'd only be human if you checked a fan forum when you are in form or played a blinder.

Most people notice this about Kent. The problem was it was abnormally non-existent against the Bombers and his opponent Tipungwuti ran amok.

We need a token player in the development league that posters can whinge about. Joel Smith seems to be coming on much too quickly for my liking.

The bump was perfect, and I loved the way he stuck his tackles and would not let his opponents up easily, stuff em. But the elbow was just stupid. I thought he didn't really make contact so might have been lucky, but you can't really have too many complaints about getting a week.

Very costly loss, and very annoying considering this week is almost a must win.

Also, him doing his knee allowed Sicily to mark unopposed and slot the winner. Double whammy, and even a triple whammy you consider my multi that relied on the doggies winning. In all seriousness though, I hope he gets back for next year and they can give it a good shake.

Yep, Stretch had a little gap on Thomas and acres of space in front of him. Bugg managed to make it a 50-50, when it should have been much more to advantage. These are the things we have to start doing consistently. Effort was great, just too many costly errors and brain fades.

For the love of god Ding, go to bed.

He might get lucky as it barely made contact. Stupid action though.

Definitely. And just as bad, he is letting my very proud and illustrious super coach team down.

Elbow, separate incident

I know we are all trying to get Matt Jones out of the team, but he is comfortably best 22 at the moment. He had a lot of clearances today, so why is him slamming the ball onto his boot in the clinches any different to Bernie?

Geez, defensive much? Watts was good today, but that was a turning point without doubt.

Any love for Roosy throwing Hogan in the middle early? I know people will say they jumped us, but we smashed them in the middle, even in the first. Hogan got into the game and then went forward and continued.

Agreed. Salem was good. Impacted a lot of 50-50 balls.

Gawn monstered Goldy in the ruck, but Goldy did the job around the ground, including a couple of soft goals from frees. What a battle, 172 SuperCoach points each.

Seeing that wind just makes me wish Garlett was playing even more. I can just see him streaming onto those long kicks over the congestion with the wind.

I'm not sold on North one bit. But lucky for them, I am not sold on us either. I think this game is winnable if we play to our best.

Just a massively blatant duck and playing for the free. Got it and converted the set shot. You will see plenty of it this week. It was not a good look.

You are probably right. That will get a huge amount of coverage this week. Hopefully it leads to some common sense decisions for the good of the game. I remember for a stretch last year they were being harsh on players ducking, and they would have treated that as prior and paid HTB against Pendles. But it looks like it has gone back the other way.

Yep, same boat. You obviously saw the Pendlebury incident Saber. That needs to be stamped out once and for all. I am a soccer fan, and I constantly get it from footy fans about diving, and deservedly so because I hate it. I think they need to do what is required to stamp it out before it just becomes an accepted part of the game like it is in soccer.

I like the way St Kilda play. They run hard and play on all the time.

I like Pendlebury but that was pathetic.

I didn't need to see Essendon this week to know just how bad we were last week.
