Flag or flop time? # 6?
It's a game after the bye. I'll take nothing for grantedWe have WCE post bye, if we lose to them, we should retire that 22.
he should be but he ain’t, he’s the fourth fav atm.SDK is now equal favourite for the rising star ($8) with Horne-Francis (#1 pick) as a key position player. Pretty remarkable.
Tuohy about to front the tribunal and say the red mark was from his dog biting him.Shout out to Touhy. On the end of a dog act to play a very good last quarter then shook his hand and had a laugh about it. Great stuff Zac but smith 3+ eff him!
Are we better than last year?
I acknowledge Parfitt's pressure and effort which is why I mentioned his tackling as a positive. However he undoes much of his good work once he has the ball in hand. Not unlike Dangerfield except zparfitf is better defensively. Atkins has impressed me and I like Rohan when he brings pressure and as an x-factor. Parfitt deserves his place in the team but he could be so much better. In a similar vein, Miers has some good attributes but his decision making and disposal tonight really let him down. I was very happy we won and there were some real positives. Mitch Duncan reminded us what a classy player he is, Zach Guthrie had another good game, Stengle is sublime, Cameron can win games for us and SDK is a revelation.I noticed your criticism of Parfitt a little earlier. Its an opinion I don't agree with.
I thought he was very good tonight...does so many things that dont appear on the stat sheet. He was relentless in his pressure on the opposition and all over the ground to boot.
Parfitt, Rohan, Atkins...quality pressure players which are sorely needed when the big boys come to town.
Have them in my side every day of the week on present form.
Dekoning is now recognised as the premier young key defender in the AFL and quickly establishing himself as a top AFL player.Just keep playing the kids... and what ever the year brings... we win.
After the bye id not be against bringing in Demp again. Its a big oval in WA.
Tonight we won because we trusted a kid at the start of the year... and he was up to the challenge. More please.
ohhh. ... and Conversion wins games. Forwards who can gain possession and convert. If Neale has any sense he will try to some degree to copy Cameron. He is not a Hawkins body.
Special mention to Stanley. He played like a big man in the second half tonight. Im not sure what turns him on and off but when he plays at good Stanley level.. he is up there in the top group as a ruck
Stengle has a body languge that all most screams he is about to drop his head. Tonight thingas were not going his way..yet found a way to contribute. Well done
ZacGuth... still improving and becoming more comfortable.
He looked proper f***ed off. I cracked a mild bonerThey did a close up on his face before a bounce in the 4th quarter. Never seen him look so angry. Was a crack up
I was a bit shaky in the 5 mins before ball up I'll admit, but after the first goal the nerves settledI had the same feeling we'd win all day.
I get every fan base is guilty but it certainly felt like some around me were appealing for some questionable stuffA very good win, particularly with the 22 we had on the park, Stewart subbed out and the Doggies momentum. That sort of gusting it out win is a great lesson/condo builder for the younger players.
An observation- while I am reluctant to talk about opposition supporters - surely Doggies supporters are the high water mark of booing of every adverse decision (including those that are indisputable). Made the win the more sweeter I am ashamed to admit.
Been wondering why 2E never trIf we show some guts in selection, and run with some new blood in the midfield at least we may have a chance, if we play the same midfield as last year then no chance.
Talia and Rivers both won it IIRCI don't care about the rising midfielder award, he's the best sub 20 gamer in the comp.

ied on ball. Big, fast, great disposal, great speed and can spread. Great core strength and as big as most bulls. Why not?

Yes and no form wise no but game plan wise we have at least given ourselves a chanceAre we better than last year?
They are not the onesid leave outto accomodate him they are guns its the fringe guys id rotate out to keep him in but i agree his intensity and his workrate are fantastic and we need to get games into him. If narkle had stephens attack on the contest hed be a 200 gamer as it is intensity will see one make it and the other get delisted.
