Demon Dynasty

Imagine if we had Salem doing the kick ins at least half the time. He can go short to a free. Possibly May!! May can then roost it all the way to the wing. At least we've managed to get into a neutral spot on the field and from there we have a chance. Alternatively he is also good on the switch from a flank.

You havent seen enough of that already!? Traditional today and thats the way it should be outside of the designated indigenous games.

Gawn .. why would you thunp the ball to the only player forward ie; their sweeper??

Keep playing here pls if Kozzy's gonna bring this!

Melk & Kozzie!!!

Sparrow zero awareness ... my god

Melksham's stats to half time?.... 2 fumbles

Was that fumble Melk's first possie?

What's happened to DOGGA!!????? fricken awful the last few weeks

Rubbish play from Tracc there

Lovely work ANB!

Kozzie out of the middle

Lever back on. Kozzie into the middle

I would highly recommend you block DubDee until your return WCW (jkgs DD!)

Best you save any stomping for the grapes CHF Have a great birthday

BA i agree to a point here but when you see the young fella (JVR) up and about like last week and looking VERY ready for a (probable) short stint at the big league AND he out plays his older opponent (for that spot) in Melk in a tough encounter under trying conditions away at the Cattery. Mate i must be very out of touch with things at AFL level but from my amature seat i would've rolled the die and given JVR a shot this week. We've seen some very solid performances from Melk over the years and he's a great servant of the club. But based on recent form at Casey my eyes tell me JVR is now at or above his level (in short stints!) and more than ready. I doubt we'll see him make his debut at senior level this year now though so these are just musings from lowly old me and subjective opinion.

That boat's sailed i think Red. If he didn't get picked after last week's results, Seniors and Casey, i doubt he'll get a look in this season unless we have a few injuries to taller forwards. Played a solid game last week & unlucky not to be in for Spargo or Bedford.

See above Steve....added a 'post' post comment. Not many teams (to this point) are using the Doggy's outside five method in general play. I havent seen many occurances, if any, of other teams (beside the Doggies) using the outside five for OOTFs before this evening. Maybe i haven't been watching carefully enough though and have just missed it. Some players might be (individual preference) or have to as they cant get to the mark in time (ie: incidendal & unintended).

I would have to rewatch. Maybe some players learning quicker than others as i havent seen any of our boys doing it this year. I just rewatched. CP was a fair way off the OOTF when it happened and directed away from coming up to the line by the ump (ie; telling him "outside five" as he was approaching). Think that was more circumstance than design TBH. Not fully convinced on "intent" here.

Nice work off HB there by the Swanies. As much as i hate the celebration Papley is one helluva small forward

Yeh very strong allover the field the [censored]. Hard to find a weak area. Maybe the ruck but usually that isnt a huge factor. Certainly well organised, maintain their structure and strong over the ball. They attack the ball carrier straight away ...no hesitation at all. The opp is always under frontal pressure. Freo might be a team to counter this frontal pressure as they prefer to fold back and then counter vs the attacking forward style of the Blues. Where do we sit here i wonder?

When we speak of learnings i hope our club has learned not to stand the line when marking an OOTF. The Doggies clever. Started using the outside 5 rule to protect the inside play on or kick from this situation a fair while back. Cats & the Blues have now learnt and are also doing this tonight. As of last week we were still standing the line.

Pickering said there's no way he'll be leaving the Swans even for $100/$250k more. He'll finish up with a one year contract there it seems.

Very evenly matched these two. Cats maybe just a touch more class and hold their structure a bit better? Great to hear Chunk on the special comments.
