I thought his arms were chopped!

Controlling the game now, but saints completely clogged up our 50 marking it hard for a mar/space to goal

That was terrible by petty... lucky.

Start watching the game late, just caught up to the broadcast. AJ - likely 1 week based upon the hit on Fargo the week before, not sure why he jumped though. Kossie first shot, - really worried it showed they weren't switch on as then the saints went on a super purple patch. But two marks up the top of the square by the saints in the 2nd must've Goodwin pull what hair he has left out. Really poor by the boys in defence. Back to 13 points, we look more in control but need less posters and more goals. The left seems to be much easier to score at, so we need to wn this qtr going into the last.

Swans were mentally broken in last year's GF, then lost their long term coach ( I called he would step down at the time and he did a bit later, as he knew he couldn't do more than he had at the club), then a ton of injuries to key players. Eventually something will crack and the Crows have built a good side that last year was expected to compete near the top, looks like they have got the balance right this year. Cox a bad coach. Who know he's been in the job for less than half a season. Players adjusting to a new coach after so long an issue, most likely. But it will take time for his players to change the way they play after so long under 1 coach an like us his season will improve Shen he starts getting his key players back into the side. The annoying win was Freo, bloody Gold Coast, I guess they aren't used to play in such weather?

Gee the swans are done...

Inexperience cost the tigers, but they played well.

Playing with confidence in the new system. Asa result their is less skill error as player dont second guess where to go. Good to see it in practice against a good defensive side. Plus the team pressure is back. Great to see.

Bloody typical...

Thats better...

Another poster! how many this qtr...

God yes!

FFS through the those two big sticks,,,need to get reward for this dominance

High pressure game, need to work on being cleaner.. AJ drops a chest mark!

Clarry or Viney going to Warner? and/or Heeny if they swap during the game. Big opportunity today to build momentum for the rest of the fast moving season.

I didn't watch he game until late last night. though early on with those easy misses from set shots, it was groundhog day. The big difference was the 4th qtr. Best 4th we have played and by that I mean we actually played out a 4th qtr for the fist time this year. overall the team looks better and working together for a common goal.

RIP Gone too young. Someone you could listen too for great insight into the game.

Will structurally his return will fixed the problem we haven't fixed since we left. Most likely. He always worked well with Gawn previously, so it won't be a Grundy situation. He's also bigger and stronger which is great. Whether it happens, we'll find out. I'll have to look at Tuesday West to read the article.

Both!

I'll say the worst umpiring I've seen in a long time., muppets. But it was all the regulation set shots we missed in the 2nd and 3rd that cost us the game. Otherwise that was the best team effort we have played all year as a team. There is still the issue of 4th qtr fadeouts to work on.

Yes an in WA :)

So much for my tip for Freo at home after the Pies outs. Freo Coach will be front and back page all week...

Not sure if it been asked above in some form: How did the exception and commitment change from state league to the AFL in his training and preparation. (Aside now being a full-time footballer).

Having watched that umpire live, she does not understand how players legally use their bodies to control space in the field. In multiple contested actions she called free's where none were present for normal actions like the clear mark by Melks. . Without knowing her background, I assume she has never played competitive game at a decent level.???

watching it love has given me more opportunity to comment. Are we developing the ability to sling shot out of defence, as the players and their run indicates no. Lack of movement and run to create the handball chains. (He gales managed it more than once) Yes the eagles were defensive, but so are all teams to enact a quick break. As result we move slow allowing for a. contested forward entry. How important has Melks become in receiving across the 50 and delivering with advantage to our forwards. Finally, Fritta, does work hard enough or support his teammates without the ball, a few times he cold have run to Shepards players coming into 50 to allow them to settle and kick, but choose to run away hoping for a receive. JVR would have been a better inclusion if he has his touch back, especially combined with the lack of height in our forward line. I assume as it's ongoing the coaching staff are allowing this as his behaviour has not changed.
