On a day where it's impossible to kick the ball well, they really have to not call insufficient intent unless it's completely egregious.

A convenient free 40 out directly in front

Put the whistle away god damn

This could be a foretaste of what the seniors game will be like. Territory is gold. Lots of mauls, repeat stoppages, kicking off the ground. Small players influential. Kicks hard to get. Clean handling a bonus. Free kicks and 50m penalties could greatly affect the result.

Players kicking for territory. Do not short pass backwards. Only short pass sideways or forwards if there is a heap of space around the target.

We're screwed if frees & 50s make a difference. No way that falls our way.

Yep FKs and 50s could be decisive.

 

[PurpJuice]

Buss is a monstrosity down back. Get him in the seniors

Correct. It's called "Home Ground Advantage".

Can’t get over that Stengle mark a metre over the goal line last time we met

isn't in the seniors. These conditions really suit his skills and vision.

Judging by this game it looks as if the new HTB interpretation is now officially dead after a brief mid-season flourish when it confused and infuriated everybody except a few influential coaches who had been pushing for it.

That is so AFL!

 

[Testekill]

I think the Cats have the right idea to knock it into space as their first instinct instead of taking it.

Agree. I think we are too top heavy with too many talls. Surprised we haven't made a late change. Can't see Darcy getting much ball today for example.

Need to start running the ball and work our way through,

CD or Garcia should’ve sat out the VFL and been a late in. Agree we’re to talk tonight. Looks like the rain should clear by around 7:30 but will be heavy and slippery conditions

Beautiful finish from the boundary by Clarke

Great interception posession from Baker after a scrubby Cats kick from a contest

 

[JTCWBFC]

Bakers been great
