I've been thinking a bit lately about the old saying "progress isn't linear". I only recall hearing that phrase when progress is less than expected.
Progress is not linear for us right now. It is exponential. We have jumped a few grades suddenly. We are now truly in the hunt for 17. It is just...
I re-watched the 2nd and final quarters yesterday. That 2nd quarter was very special. Watching without nerves, we played that last quarter really well on the whole. It made me proud watching it again. Some excellent individual efforts but also just excellent team play. This season is just off...
After Saturday's game it was really clear to me that Plow has been thinking hard about life after football. It is rumoured that he has already signed as an ambassador for Cadbury - he sold that much candy against North.
But seriously, we need to drop Plow in order to win a final? Spare me
She had a night to forget. I think part of it is she is easy to recognise so we remember her decisions more readily? Some real head scratchers though....
Saad has always demonstrated that defensive mindset for us and he has always been an all round player. It is not a new development. In fact, his defensive game has actually been more important to us than his attacking game in my opinion. He's an all round gun
I really rated Mirkov's game. Rucked well, mixing traditional taps with big smashes later in the game (effective move). He was also involved around the ground, which has been his biggest knock. He took a few nice marks, including one inside D50. Kicking was very solid. We could have one there...
I don't see many doing that. Rather, there seems to be a lot of respect for Freo. I'd say it is you who is underestimating us instead.
They also made this statement: Previous Carlton wins had nothing to do with Carlton. We was shite in those games. No issue with that?
The weight of expectation may be too great for a developing Freo side. I imagine the media over there would be intensely positive and high on expectation.
On the other hand, our players will feel almost like we lost (which we almost did!). We should be primed to perform at a higher level for...
I thought Fisher was very good yesterday. More involved and more impact. Looked to have more space and time
I am not a Newman fan. The opposite actually. But I thought he had some really important marks when we needed them. For this I am grateful
I actually think the change we needed in the second half is simple enough because it's within our control. We need players to break into small pockets of space on strong 45 degree or lateral leads. Not necessarily boundary side either (in fact preferably corridor leaning if the kicker is...
Our midfield will lift, protecting our defence from damaging entries. Our forward line is potent - it just needs enough supply. Excited for the game. Unsure what we'll produce, which makes it a nervous excitement
The Doggies offered him a 2 year deal.
Putting that aside, I do think he's an intercepting defender stuck in a KPD's body. Hopefully that changes given our KPD list deficiency
It's interesting to see the focus of some. For me, we lost to the Suns because of the ruck and the midfield. That's where the blame lies. Not on the wings. Not because of Newman, Plowman or Young. Our first ruck and midfield played so poorly as a group that it put pressure on all other areas of...
It hurts more when you believe.
Very rare to have that many good players so down. We should see a positive correction against Port.
The ruck was a serious concern all game. The fact that JSOS was more effective in there is an indictment on our recognised ruckman
