Brilliant.0, 2, 1, 2, 2 & 0 so far this year. On top of averaging .72 marks per game last year and taking more than 2 marks in a game only 3 times since the start of 2018 , I’m guessing the bookies don’t want to lose money on punters betting on a sure thing
Thinking Figgy mighta stayed just long enough to help *smile* his club over .1-5 Figgy.....2nd last. What happened??
Going a lot better than Lunch and on the same coin from next yearGreedy Bundy playing like a dud.
He might be right. There seemed to be a lot of turnovers. How the AFL let that happen is mind boggling (or perhaps it isn't)Figgy reportedly saying that the 'dumb' jumper clash may have affected his team.
Port always seem to play bottom 8 sides every week.Few teams got nice home ground advantage this week.
They're shitt.Wow how things change season by season. You go from finals, to staring down your 3rd 70+ point defeat out of 6 to start this year. Awful start for the Saints.
Ben Long burnt Hill and kicked out of bounds. Hill shaking his head. Not a happy camp at Moorabbin.They're shitt.
Any club dumb enough to pay 600k for crouch and 800k for Hill you know your fked especially against the biggest front runners in the comp in port Adelaide
Unearned arrogance.... if only George had #$%#&% got his foot to it FFS.
Bloody hell....that's worse than the De Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooey *smile* he let out last week.Figgy reportedly saying that the 'dumb' jumper clash may have affected his team.

One of the Essendon players (McGrath ?) said it wasn't an issue.He might be right. There seemed to be a lot of turnovers. How the AFL let that happen is mind boggling (or perhaps it isn't)
That's my conclusion to from the Dee's game. The small forwards were too high up the ground, leaving Lynch and Jack 1 on 2, 1 on 3 deep. And they just rebounded them back out at will. We won the inside 50 count 60 to 56. We scored 6.12 plus another 7 missed shots with no score, 1 less shot than the Demons 26 shots. Just played bad 'forward' football. Need to get the smalls around Lynch and Jack when the ball goes to ground.As much as I can't stand these port pricks, they more times than not don't bomb going in to forward 50. I watched them carefully and their first option is always to hit up a free target or a moving target going into space. We too often just bomb and hope. We seriously need to fine-tune our forward 50 entries.

Also we only used 49 substitutions out of 75, extremely low on a wet and rainy night. The boys ran out of legs. In the GF even without Vlastuin, Houli on one leg, think Broady went off for awhile too, we used 63 so 49 is very low for a game when the opponents used 74. So we used one less rotation per player being able to have a rest.
Pressure count was around 200 so that's very high, just didn't convert our chances. Should have been 7.3, 8.3 to 2.3 early in the second and perhaps a very different result.
And Salem was BOG, that first quarter and a bit he was there best player by far, then Lever, Tomlinson, and I noticed Petracca after half time, not the whole game, but their defence, our poor forward conversion rate kept them within striking distance.Well said, agree wholeheartedly!
Salem BOG is equivalent to Dean Polo BOG in the Dreamtime game.And Salem was BOG, that first quarter and a bit he was there best player by far, then Lever, Tomlinson, and I noticed Petracca after half time, not the whole game, but their defence, our poor forward conversion rate kept them within striking distance.
Early Inside 50's were like 10-1, 22-10 or something halfway through the second quarter, then it changed.
Me and my mates have been saying for 30 years you have to convert when you get your 5, 10 minutes of forward pressure. If you kick 0.1, 0.2 and one on the full as an example and the other team go forward kick 3.0, 2.1 you don't want your next turn to be 1.1, 1.2 and they go 3.0, 2.1 again and you're playing catch-up all game.
U must convert when it's your time up forward.
