Fanatique Demon

Demonland gives us all much pleasure and information, I can’t see why everyone doesn’t take up Life Membership.

Big Samson Brown?

You can deliberately spoil the ball over the line in a marking contest. Once the ball bounces, it can no longer be a marking contest. That’s the rule.

Yes, but what a stupid rule.

I agree with Swooper. Much as I loved JVR’s final quarter and especially his goals, he was all at sea the other dozen times the ball came his way.

I really like the bounce handball. And Hunter is really good at it. When the opposition is closing down the ball carrier, he can’t handball through him. So it’s over, under or around. Over is very risky because in getting it high enough, it takes so long to come back down that the recipient will get crunched. We used to call them “hospital handballs”, remember? Going around the opponent is often hampered by the boundary line on one side and other closing opponents on the other. Vive le handball de rebond. (Hey, @Demonstone I found the new name.)

Right. Otherwise, the stat for gathering an “underground handball” would be an “underground ball get”.

Hate to say it, but Pickett isn’t playing for the team.

I know he’s young and inexperienced and a lot on here love him, but JVR has shown nothing.

Pathetic effort. Ground ball in back half… the usual problem. Meanwhile, up forward, JVR and Petty haven’t a clue.

Yep, TWICE!

I think she has a good point. Pay a free against the player who pushes the ball under an opponent on the ground.

Watched the Saints win today. Also watched Casey lose despite all of the AFL talent in the side. The Saints showed true desperation at the coal face and a commitment to run all over the ground. If our boys bring that desperation tomorrow night and they are willing to run, run, run, we’ll win. But if we think superior talent is the key, we’ll drop another game.

Geelong’s ground is vial shaped. Maybe that explains it.

Please be right.

Two pathetic local teams?

They should be. Or maybe unfairly might be better.

Bowey - surprisingly missed targets.

Another ‘how I met your mother’ story?

Spargo was very efficient, but does he know how to smile?

Seriously good kick by Melky

Despite miss, Rivers has been excellent.
