Redleg

Undermanned, with sick players pulling out and others still playing, against a side with one regular out, who were playing for top 4 and who beat the top team by 19 goals the week before. We lost by a kick. That is a fantastic effort.

Oliver was pretty sick and others too, so even better effort.

Fumbling cost us the game. Constant fumbling. Great effort with an undermanned side, but the lack of ball handling skill kills us.

I hope we aren’t that dumb.

Sorry to disagree and have a different opinion and I won’t LOL at yours btw. Brayshaw getting taken out rattled our side and we got jumped. We then used our sub Lawrie, taking away the fresh legs later in the game and who was totally ineffective. I believe Gus, who was a far better player, I think averaging over 30 possessions at the time, would have helped us breach the 7 point loss difference, as I recall it was. I also feel some players lost focus after the Gus ko, like JVR, who got suspended for trying to even up, or whatever he was doing. Imo if JVR or Gus played against the blues, we reverse that one point loss and make the PF, either by beating the Pies or later the Blues. You are welcoming to disagree, no one can prove who is correct anyway. It’s just an opinion.

Well imo we were certainly a Gus away from a GF. Gus doesn’t get ko’d and we are in the PF and JVR probably doesn’t try to even up, getting suspended and is playing.

Strange then that the Swans have at least 10 more frees at this point in the game.

I thought there was a rule that only the Captain could speak to the umpire and at a break. Pendles always does it and is at it again with umpire 22 Williamson, who is standing there talking to him. Why is this constantly allowed to happen?

Will have a jump out next week and hopefully racing by end of week. If you are a horse follower I have Show Some Decorum Race 9 and Moonhaven Race 5 racing saturday at Moonee Valley. Sorry to the non racehorse people and back to Jeffo, who I think will debut either against GC or Pies in the last game, just to give him a taste of senior football.

Wasn’t you I was referring to.

Not as sad as someone else on DL.

200 cms is better than 197 cms so that is a start. I have to go now and ask someone for my life savings to be returned.

A little birdie told me they said they would stick it up DD. 😀

I am a fan of Jeffo, though not as big as Picket Fence and have posted since last year I thought he would make it, given time. While I am happy for him to get a game this year, we shouldn’t expect too much, given the way we are playing and the fact that he will be nervous and won’t have played with most of his teammates before. I hope we don’t start rubbishing him if his first game is a poor one. He is showing a bit now and hopefully he and JVR can form a great key forward combo for us for years to come.

Drafted at 197 grew to 200 first preseason and is now 204 cms according to his Wiki site and AFL bio and another site.

We are apparently looking at Eagles’ Harry Edwards who is a key back and 204 cms.

You rock girl.

That is very sad to hear. I wish him well.

You would have to say on paper we have a better list than the Hawks, but their style of play and game plan is working far better than ours. It may be due to a lot of factors, but it is certainly starting with the coaching.

Well this one will beat that. “Port should be an easy win for us, as they couldn’t even beat the Swans by 120 points, playing at home.”

Just checking, have Bevo, Mitchell, Longmuir and Hinkley been sacked yet? All were hopeless at stages this year. Longmire will obviously be sacked tonight and Voss must be on shaky ground, as is McCrae.

Well they are former Dees.😉

Media say anything about him playing, without any punishment at all, for at the least, being out at 3.00 am at a nightclub last week, drinking and maybe doing more and ending up unresponsive, taken by ambulance to hospital? Can imagine the coverage if it was a lesser club. Absolute silence from a totally beholden media.

Bolton isn’t leaving.
