Redleg

Thanks MD you made laugh.

Please explain.

Given the late flight, change in hotel, suspension of the competition just before the game, rumours of difficulty getting home, more inside 50 entries, playing a WCE at home and at full strength, poor disposal and terrible form of most of the team and then only losing by 27 points, I am not too critical of the result.

Agree. As many of you would know I am not a fan of ANB and banned my self from bagging him on here. However the above post is correct, credit where credit is due. I thought ANB was one of few contributors for the Dees and worked hard to lay tackles and gain possession. I thought it was one of his better games in adverse conditions, so well done son, make me eat my words and keep improving.

What is the excuse for missing 20 metre passes countless times? We actually gave them the ball more than they won it.

We have concentrated on being a contested footy side and we are very good at that, but we have as a result ignored skill and structure/ game plan, to our detriment and it costs us games we could win, where we dominate inside 50 and still lose.

I have used that sentence for 15 years as my main gripe and nothing has been done to fix it. Didn't help today that about 14 of our players were pathetic.

3 more basic turnovers. Sorry this is trash.

If you can’t use the ball in today’s footy you get belted. We have 15 years of this problem. Disposal skill is nearly the most important element of the game. Look at Hibberd turned over every single possession. We are the worst disposal side in the AFL on the games this week.

Surprising that Fox Footy hasn’t listed the game. They are still showing the home and away round as being telecast.

Extra special effort in these tough times.

Ankle might need another week.

I'm not.

Not every draftee can play this week. He is going well and will become a regular IMO, but there is no hurry. Bit harder though if Casey isn't playing.

Great idea. Deserves it. Amazing effort.

On paper and over there, the Eagles will kill us. Lucky we don’t play on paper.

Those two won't let us down.

See how easy it is.

Make it easy on yourself, by conversing in monosyllabic utterances.

This was posted in October 19 by the AFL re the AFLW competition. Ignore the game dates which obviously now change. The top three sides in each conference will qualify for finals, with the teams who finished first in each pool given a bye in the first week of finals. FINALS STRUCTURE Week one, April 4-5 Semi-final one: A2 v B3 Semi-final two: B2 v A3 Byes: A1, B1 Week two, April 11-12 Preliminary final one: A1 v winner of B2/A3 Preliminary final two: B1 v winner of A2/B3 Grand Final, April 18 Winners of preliminary finals Well looks like top 4 teams in each group now, so another change.

Agree that concussions will bring changes to the game, just not sure exactly what form they would take, other than completely outlawing any form of bump/tackle/sling, where the head is hurt. I suppose they are trying to achieve that already.

Postponement or suspension of games now looks a certainty imo. Banning attendance by fans also looks a certainty. The normal is not possible in the current situation. Even Forrest Gump is sick and is being affected.

Marking is sometimes about confidence, as well as a number of other factors of course, but it can only take a couple of good grabs, if it is a confidence issue, to turn it around. We have seen the key forwards who need that early goal to then have a good day, with our game’s record holder the perfect example.

Mrs Redleg posed the same scenario to me a few days ago.

Is everything stuffed. Just went on Coles Online and got cut off every time I completed the order. Can I blame the club for this, or the AFL?
