    SFNL Division 3 2021

    Been a couple of years since I saw the Jets play a home game, and had to venture a bit further up Beach Rd and into Brighton. Haven't seen that old oval for 20 years and while the facilities have improved, the surface is still frightful. Kudos to the Eagles. Have read numbers were scarce but...

    Opinion 2021 fixture I'd like to see.

    Out of interest has a date for the draw release been set?

    Review R20: Crows v Saints - We're stranded...on...our....own (in 8th spot)

    73-62 in the last quarter. Gibbs to Betts to Douglas to Fogarty...goal. Ins this week - Gibbs Betts Douglas Fogarty. 79-62 in the last quarter. Douglas holds up the ball...pinpoint ball for Smith...goal. Some perspective is required. The reaction was there and Pyke hasn't lost the team. Well...

    Review R19: Adelaide v Carlton - Crows n’ da Hood: Cripps v Crudds (Grumble Responsibly)

    An interesting game to watch from my vantage point at the MCG yesterday. The energy I saw earlier in the year against St Kilda, West Coast and Gold Coast (Melbourne member who travels occasionally) had morphed back into the level I witnessed against North Melbourne at Marvel in the early...

    Game Day Crows vs Suns - the day which... ah stuff it. No one's watching anyway

    After someone shot a rocket up Atkins after his laconic start to the game. He did better when he played with some rarely displayed urgency.

    Game Day Crows vs Suns - the day which... ah stuff it. No one's watching anyway

    Was at the game so not sure how it came through on the vision but it's worth asking. Was umpire 32 just blatantly cheating in favour of the Suns or was he just inexplicably terrible for the entire four quarters?

    Umpiring standards 2019

    I'm currently at the Gold Coast-Adelaide game and it is clear umpire 32 (Mollison?) has been advised to give Gold Coast as much help as possible. His only free in the first quarter to Adelaide was for a push...which was there...however the Adelaide player had already taken the mark and the...

    Analysis Good, Bad, and Frustrating vs Sainters

    Early in the last quarter St Kilda had an overlap and an easy mark inside fifty was about to be taken but Hartigan came off his man 40+ away and his closing speed was outstanding - winning the ball away. Wednesday night for me was over once Stack got Viney. Hartigan's play early in the last made...

    Analysis Good, Bad, and Frustrating vs Sainters

    Was at the game and saw Murphy contest three or four one on threes, and on more than one occasion his efforts led to a turnover or stoppage. Perhaps he is not the answer long term, but he is demonstrating the type of pressure that the coach is asking out of his players, hence he will stay for...

    SFNL Division 3 2019

    I touched on it having seen a bit of their practice match - they look to link with handball, which is fine, and a good drill to use in the warm summer months of pre-season, but in matches with a bit of pressure and it can break down, or end in the hands of the wrong player, which it did several...

    SFNL Division 3 2019

    One that is not the best use of their resources, both player wise and ground wise. For mine, and i mean no disrespect to the Cerberus team who worked their backsides off and were within a kick with about five minutes to go, but the difference between them and a Black Rock side playing well would...

    SFNL Division 3 2019

    No prize this week however the 10 goal margin might be the difference next week vs Black Rock if the Jets bring the gameplan they did today. They'd have to execute it far better than they did vs Cerberus today to go 3-0. Just doesn't seem the best fit for their team.

    I might go see the week to weekers tomorrow down Black Rock way. See if this is their week.
