Demon Dynasty

One of the worst pressure games i've seen for a while.

Hunt needs to break a line there and kick long to CHF. He just doesn't have the short passing skills to hit up a short target there.... awful decision just go long and give the forwards a chance one on one

Gawn having a bit of a mare tonight bar one decent short pass to Kozzie at the end of the second quarter

I don't understand why he would not baulk there and come back inside.... having a pretty poor game

Petty looks like a really weak link so far tonight

Its his decision making and handballs so far ...gets to where the ball is and gathers but i reckon he's missed about 70% of all handballs so far. And he's had a few. Decision making a bit slow for this level as well....drawing pressure on everyone including himself. Improved a tad towards the end of the second quarter. Some player's conversion rates leave alot to be desired. About half of them were relatively easy and should've gone through

ANB had Sparrow on the outside for the give and goal there.... poor decision considering he usually doesnt finish well at goal

ANB having a bit of an ordinary game so far

Max's kick there ... my gosh!

Poor choice of kick from BBB there

All class from Kozzie there!!

Show Tracc the Maxy short passing method please!!

Dunstan .... footsteps!???

There's a stack of holding and scragging going on ....the umps are on to it though. Traccs delivery inside 50 .... There ya go Fritta

Gus has been pretty ordinary so far. Tracca easy miss at the end of the first quarter. Dunstan a fair way off with disposal. He aint at the level we need so far. Kozzie's pretty ordinary so far as well. BBB misses from straight in front. One good sign is Clarry & Tracc getting alot of it. Spargo doing ok also. If not for Plugga !!

Round 10, 2022 Marvel - Blues vs Swans While one match doesn't make a summer i thought i'd take a look at the Blues tonight. Their team score was 1.9% higher than our 2021 season average and just above our average score this season by 0.5%. Ok so they didn't play us but they still played a top 8 (potential top four) contender, so it's not like they played an also ran club. They're certainly flying at the moment and more than likely (subject to injury issues like most clubs) going to cement a place in the top four with a strong chance of playing off in a prelim (at least). Appear to have a pretty leaky defence. They also have a pretty inexperienced team overall with no player having played over 150 games tonight & 9 rookies (less than 50 games). I would assume most of them have very little finals experience as well. Having said that, experience didn't seem to help the Swans tonight. With five players having 150 plus games experience although they also had ten rookies in the team (and i believe history says that with ten or more rookies you really struggle to beat a team with less rookies than you in any given match unless they also have 10 or higher).

Warner doesnt quite cut the mustard at this level. And Hickey's a bit off the mark at times under pressure. The Swans bring great effort but have too many gaping holes in their bottom 6

Wow so... "your tackle is so good Buddy boy but i dont care i'll just drop the ball and i know the ump willl call play on...woo hoo you beauty!"

Even with all the help there (50) & refusal by the umps to pay Sydney a free (had to be a high tackle there surely) in their forward 30 or so the Blues couldnt get the ball up the field and conceded another goal

Greedy by Papley there

Lmao.....karate chop to the neck in the marking contest.... play on!!

If my memory serves me correctly, history says if you go 3 to 4 goals down by quarter time you only win about 2 out of 10 times coming back from there. Fast Starts = Usually winning footy

Walsh just waltzing around front & sqaure... nobody near him. Awful Swans. At least have someone going with him in that front half to try and pressure the turnover or even better win the ball first!

Goal of the year Buddy!!??

The Blues are just as leaky as the Swans down back.... they just win a heap more of the stoppages and contested, getting it inside alot more (tonight).
