Love your report card.
I draw your attention to one factor I noticed in the St Kilda game.
We had speed in the back line, but it did not explode from the centre forward.
We were missing some dash. The speed weapon from Liam Ryan, Jack Petruccelle, & Daniel Venebles, to impact the play forward...
Rest Yeo, masten,
Bring in Shuey & Petracellue.
Any others as Simmo sees fit.
Saints are slowly getting better, we need a super fast start and a return to those premiership second quarters.
This is a good team. BUT I would say our best 22 must include Petrecellue, he has so much upside. pace and footy smarts.
This highlights Simmos edge in 2018. Given a good run with injuries, we now have genuine depth. Our task for the next five games should be getting Shuey, Ryan, Venebles &...
So does Nic Nat's tackle being illegal mean the AFL has a new rule in tackling? Only tackle opponents the same size as you or get banned?
=============================
The AFL has messed up with their NEW Nic Nat Rule.
We are seeing similar tackles each week, the only difference being the power...

Weather forecast for Sydney on Saturday is showers and windy
If NN is out then we go with one ruckman and bring in a tough inside midfielder, probably Achee or Ainsworth
a) No
b) Yes
c) No
My d) Bring in Achee. and get NN off free.
I'm loving the way the boys are playing. The...
that game was an omen for a much better season, I thought the team succumbed to pressure in the third quarter, and the review got it wrong with marsden's goal. But there was a lot to like in the game
the run and spread in the first half. the hanging in in the last. Liam, Venebales, Jake &...
We looked a good side when we played in melbourne without Priddis. He is to slow. And He is not a good tackler, he only tackles those in close around the ball. I would argue that he gets tackled more in and around the ball, then play stops and the ball is thrown up. I would also argue that...
Agree 100%, as much as the boys will be feeling down, the only sensible message is chin up.
Improve the skills, improves the confidence, trade for some talent for the midfield and go again.
I tend to disagree. Simpson has some great options next year to strengthen our backs and their game strategy.
First the strengths that may fit the web, Emac has incredible acceleration and pace, Brown has shown his ability to play small on pacy forwards.
The moves, MacG should go to centre...
That is not the big question.
Next year we have Duggan, Mackenzie, Brown, not to mention Nelson & Barrass, or the emergencies for tomorrows game.
No player is going to walk into our team next year. So it might start off looking like a trade to play WAFL.
Maybe because the Hawks have used it before we could try "TIME TO HUNT THE HUNTER".
This reflects awareness that the hawks are masters at upping the physical assault in finals.
Those hawks on fines are vulnerable to the biff both before and during the game.
Now don't be a worry wart, the last few weeks have shown the strength in our game plan, we have played two good games without several top key players. The strength has come into the mid field, and our forwards ARE SHOWING HOW IMORTANT THAT HAS BEEN, good delivery equals good scores.
We got done...
How good is this, we beat the purple, hawks drop a game, Freo desparate to rest players with injuries and can't, well they could be risk facing hawks instead of the swans. AND we are givebn the opportunity to enter the finals on our own terms. Win the next two, and freshen up those with sore...
Disagree Macca, the best result for us is hawks to lose, and want to come at us with everything they have. We get to play the best of the rest. The real strengths of the eagles is not drawing attention. We are a very even team right across the board. That is our real strength, plus nic nat...
Dodger, look at the second qtr ten minutes in just before their first goal. Dead set push in the back. Think its schofield (one of our fairest players, Darling got a free or half the push schofield got). I Can't really blame goodes, but the crowd saw it and they could, and they did. The fox...
Perhaps a stat or two will ease the tension. U no how everyone used to talk about Matt Priddis and his clangers. Well u may be suprised to know that Sydney have seven regular players that average more clangers per game than Mat Priddis and Luke Shuey. To put it simply Sydney have 5 players...
I wouldn't be so negative about umpires. This is one of the big issues for the AwFuL. West coast has a positive free kick ratio at home games and a negative free kick ratio for away games. I fell off my chair a couple of times last week. We were heading for goal and suddenly there was a free...
It is easy to be critical of sewood. I found it very easy. He hesitates and often kicks backwoods, and he misses some sitters in front of goal.
BUT, on reflection, after seeing Crotchin destroy a top class midfield unit ( a few times) was Selwood who dominated Crotchin last week? Is he that...
Over the first 5 games Matt's Disposal Efficiency (DE) is averaging 54%. In fact 25 team mates have a better DE than MP, But the real telling stat is 20 of our players have achieved 75% DE.
Priddis has not come close, his best was 63% against Port. He doesn't seem to have the required skill...
Hill, last 10 games of 2013 was 10 goals 1.0 per game. First 10 games 2013 was 18 goals. 2013 was TOTAL OF 28. 2012 was a total of 36.
That is a slow decline. He is agood player, who looks to be struggling. I put him as borderline. His performance during pre0season suggests he may get...
