POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Collingwood
But of course. He's also currently doing what other the other forwards don't: more contested possessions than Hunt, Garlett and Hannan combined. The fact that people can't see why Spargo is in the team says a lot about them, not much about Spargo.

The Line Coaches
22 shots on goal should be enough to get the job done, but almost none of them are renowned for their kicking prowess.

GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Collingwood
Spargo has more possessions than the other two put together, plus a goal, but heh ... Spargo is the worst. The workings of the human mind are a wonder to behold.

GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Collingwood
It's the coaches' fault for dropping chest marks or not being able to hit someone with a handpass 2 metres away?

GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Collingwood
His one decent game for the year at Casey.

GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Collingwood
Petracca has been good, even very good. If others were able to take advantage of his work, would look even better. On the negatives, not sure how Hunt keeps being given a pass. People banging on about Spargo, but Hunt has done next to nothing today, as most days (apart from the odd cameo). Same with Hannan. OK, Hannan, benefit of the doubt for the long layoff, but if you look at what's happening with both of the H's, and you look at what's happening up the other end of the ground ... night and day.

CASEY: Rd 10 vs Collingwood VFL
Yes, his 8 disposals against the Giants were a real game-changer.

"Institutional racism is distinguished from the explicit attitudes or racial bias of individuals by the existence of systematic policies or laws and practices that provide differential access to goods, services and opportunities of society by race. Institutional racism results in data showing racial gaps across every system. For children and families it affects where they live, the quality of the education they receive, their income, types of food they have access to, their exposure to pollutants, whether they have access to clean air, clean water or adequate medical treatment, and the types of interactions they have with the criminal justice system." https://fpg.unc.edu/sites/fpg.unc.edu/files/resources/other-resources/What Racism Looks Like.pdf

CASEY: Rd 10 vs Collingwood VFL
What, like last time he played at Casey: "Defender Oscar McDonald did his chances of a recall to the senior side no harm with a strong showing for the Demons in their one-point loss to Richmond at Casey Fields. McDonald picked up a team-high 22 disposals ..."

PREGAME: Rd 12 vs Collingwood
Spargo is fine. Has earned his place, certainly in relation to the other small forwards down there. Not to mention, not sure who he's keeping out ... Bedford? Team looks solid, just missing Melksham and Jetta for mine, Vandenberg would be handy as well.

AFL and 18 Clubs apologise to Adam Goodes
Absolutely. Though not alone unfortunately. There are parallels with what happened to Goodes and what has happened in European football to black players like Raheem Sterling and Moise Keane.

Sam Weideman Re-signs Until 2021
“It was a massive weight on my shoulders,” he said. “It was a lot of pressure which I didn’t really enjoy too much. It affected me quite hard mentally and affected my footy as well."

PREGAME: Rd 12 vs Collingwood
Oscar was always going to keep his place while May wasn't available and Petty isn't ready. Interesting to see that Oscar wasn't named for Casey either. Perhaps just admin, though perhaps he's been carrying something (he had that injury at the end of the GWS game for example).
-
PREGAME: Rd 12 vs Collingwood
Agree with that. Out of those pairings, think they'll go for Garlett and Stretch. In spite of his weaknesses, Garlett is at least hitting the scoreboard, and Stretch hasn't been that bad, though what position would be play? Main interest for me is where Fritsch plays, hopefully he can now be moved further up the field (wing/forward).

Welcome to Demonland, a place where all ideas are mutually exclusive, where there is no context, no nuance, and where affirming A automatically denies the possibility of B ... even if you didn't mention B in the first place.

Training - Wednesday 5th June, 2019
Firstly, we don't know what's going on behind closed doors, and secondly, it's worth noting that almost no AFL clubs employ specialist kicking coaches. Certainly none of the leading clubs do (from what I can see).

Training - Wednesday 5th June, 2019
Because there's a difference between acquiring/consolidating skills and being able to execute those skills regardless of the circumstances. And not just in sport either. It's not an anti-training position, just a recognition that training-track training has its limits.
