While we are still basking in the glory, spoke to Logan McDonald today and saw the other side. Great kid and family and on crutches, couldn’t help his team win. He can’t wait for next season and if we don’t win, then I’m on the Swans. For all that, family re-viewing of the GF again tonight. Thai...
Attended the game, celebrated appropriately and then a video session Sunday morning at Young & Jacksons with a few beers. Headed home to Perth with the family and a full rewatch again - still not getting tired of it.
McKenna’s multiple brain fades, surprising lack of skill and, at times, minimal defensive efforts were striking in a team that really had a crack and looked reasonably skilled (despite a number of newbies).
Thankfully the Chicago Bears won the NFL Draft earlier today. After 24 hours not wanting to think about about AFL, I send a heartfelt apology to Jarrod Berry (who has been good the last 3 or so weeks) and think his mate Clugga (my favourite player) might be about to get the cold shoulder...
An entirely proper result - the rules are written the way they are for a reason. Meaning is to be given to the words. I already love watching media commentators trying to mis-explain the basis of the decision and say it stands for good guys all getting off - what a load of drivel.
Glad Fort is in and I think being too tall in the ‘sort of wet’ is a nonsense. The game could become a down-the-line style game and being able to contest effectively is valuable. The Pies backline is also bog average atm and some big targets will do there head in.
Brayshaw’s field kicking is appalling, I see it live every second week. I don’t think he’s much different to LDU & Cerra at the band well below truly elite.
I can’t believe how far Berry has fallen off over the last 12 months. Short of a dramatic turnaround, I can see him being the first of our longer term contracted players to be invited to look elsewhere.
At the game you could see why a 3 tall set up is preferred - plenty of ball in Q2 but no targets in F50 with 1 tall. Big O’s decision making was appalling. Rayner and Bailey a distance off being real midfielders.
Unfortunately, I have to watch the Dockers live almost every second week and I believe that Andrew Brayshaw is one of the most wildly overrated players in the league. If my life depended on delivery of the ball inside F50 (whether pressured or not), I’d prefer Sam Frost of the Hawks over...
The difference between the top ruckmen and the next tier is apparently enormous- love the Big O but he was appalling against Gawn. The coaching tonight was also embarrassing - classic defensive footy when the team plays best when there is at least some element of offence.
Rayner, Cameron, McInerney & Joe superb. Andrews possibly our best over the season so far. When Ashcroft fumbled a ball in the last quarter, the 5 Lions supporters watching with me in WA looked around in complete surprise.
Wilmot‘s a keeper, while it might be a long season for Starce, Linc (Who...
I am a big Hipwood fan, but his total uncompetitiveness was alarming. We need forwards to provide a contest if they can’t mark and he offered absolutely no contest. The worst game I’ve seen from him and I’m sure he’ll bounce back.
While any person publishing defamatory allegations might be liable for publications that are the natural and probable consequence of the allegations made, the people making the allegations and the report writer will not be pursued. That leaves the ABC and the person who leaked the key contents...
As we are going to lose McStay by free agency and I don’t think we are likely to bring in a free agent of any note, I wonder whether also losing Gardiner by free agency might help us pony up (by way of compensation) the points we need for Ashcroft, Fletcher and potentially Dunkley (without large...
