the magpies outclassed us at home earlier in the season and this game is following that pattern. I think we picked The likes of Amiss and Walker to give them finals experience. get off Walker's back, he will learn from it and he does have pace/potential
seriously. we are not a dominant team. we beat the hawks and Port, who on their day have competed with the best in the league, so we are not pretenders, we look like a finals bound team, realistically not a top 4 team at our best but that is a major improvement
Port has been in good form, so that is a good win and I will celebrate any afl win gratefully. Jeepers the Fyfe knockers perceptions are out of touch. he played almost all of the game forward, won 20 odd possessions, had some decent pressure acts which led to goals. His timing is off due to the...
Kennedy has always given his heart and soul to the cause. everyone knows he is 70% the player he used to be and was probably convinced to play this year in a leadership capacity. bit rich to be judging him to be selfish when he is a bonifide champion and team player!
to be fair to Mcgovern, he has played well this year, but I defy anybody to defend the type of turnovers they have had tonight. Like that Simmo is going full tank to get that number one pick!
stats say we had the same amount of turnovers, we had better overall efficiency with the ball. we were pantsed in centre clearances and inside 50 marks. having a couple of handy inside mids out hurt and a key forward who does get contested marks again hurt. I see the blaming of small forwards...
top 4 is over the top. do you remember the games where we were outclassed by Geelong, Bulldogs, Port, Melbourne etc. I think top 8 is reasonable , given our draw is relatively easy as we finished outside the 8 last year. Our best win was against Sydney when they were not in great form at home
Great fighting win, won by dominance in the clearances, the windy conditions did play havoc and helped out on defending their key tall forwards. Going forward I think missing Lobb, structurally, is going to hurt any serious chance of winning a final or making it. Good to win a game with less...
Mundy-1 was solid but not bog - getting inflated votes. Lobb was the matchwinner with contested grabs and goals -5. I thought Darcy was our best midfielder-4 and Cerra -2 ball use stood out. defense was excellent and Ryan -3 blanketed their best forward in form -Elliot_ forcing him to the midfoeld
