The Cats are a good team, they're fit and they're fighting the whole game.The Saints are yet to prove to me they can do that, and I think it's a cultural problem beyond the fitness issue. Good teams fight 4 quarters, and the Saints have disappointed me for years this way.

I think it might be Adelaide, GWS, Geelong, and as a roughie, Port, I think. (The two games they've lost have been to the Crows and Giants) Still ain't sure where Richmond are at...

Nathan Brown is a seriously good fullback that is let down by the Saints midfield. Has kept JKennedy and Hawkins goalless for most of the game till our mids vanished and the ball started to come in unopposed.

Yeah, they were all bad. hosed if I know why we keep playing Dunstan when he can't run out games. It makes no sense to me. He struggles to play over 65% of games and it's his fourth or fifth year for fucks sake. Dunstan and Long have to be dropped for next week. Bring in Stevens and Sinclair who should both run out games better. I'm also really, really, really sick of us wasting our time with Bruce as the 2nd ruck. It's killing his game and is a massive liability. We could try playing both Hickey and Longer, but neither of them have shown anything up forward. So imo we should bring in Marshall who can hopefully be a reasonable 2nd ruck and has shown in the VFL he's a more than capable forward (we can promote him due to Dempsters retirement). That'd also hopefully help free up Bruce to play a more running/leading style of game where he isn't caught wresting with defenders (something he's poo poo at) or going up against 2 defenders all the time.

Those two frees in the first quarter were indefensible trash.Periphery posted:Yeah, they were all bad. I agree with all of this. I haven't paid enough attention to Marshall but I did hear good things about him. Does he have the capability to ruck? I noticed we had Carlisle down forward while Bruce was in the ruck. Did Essendon ever throw Jake into the middle?

I noticed we had Carlisle down forward while Bruce was in the ruck. Did Essendon ever throw Jake into the middle? Yeah, Marshall played predominantly in the ruck at VFL level last year (he's an overage recruit) where he apparently did alright (18 disposals and 22 hitouts per game). So far this year we've played him as a forward in the VFL and he's been kicking goals regularly. Of course, it's a massive step up from VFL to AFL but I don't see how it'd be worse than what we are doing with Bruce at the moment. I have no idea where that would leave Paddy if Marshall does cement a spot in the team though. I dunno if Carlisle ever played in the ruck; I feel like he did but I can't be sure. Coming into this year I half thought we'd give it a shot. He could just follow the oppositions 2nd ruck around while leaving Bruce to do his thing. But I guess we wanted to maintain our structure down back more than up forward.

He played ruck but only when we literally had no other option, not even Daniher because he was younger then and built like a twig. Wasn't exactly great in the role.

It seems that it's not only in South Australia. A trainer for Brisbane was racially abused at the game on Sat. http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/afl/afl-news/brisbane-lions-trainer-subject-of-alleged-racial-abuse-at-etihad-stadium-20170423-gvqntk.html This time the bloke wasn't aboriginal, but Asian instead. So I suppose we can say footy fans don't hate people because they are black, they just hate them if they aren't white, (or straight).

Footy fans hate non-white, non-straight people, eh? Bit of a generalisation. No, I don't think we CAN say that, mate.

The more baffling thing is how does Toby Greene not have a bad record when he's already been fined twice this season and has gone to the tribunal six times from his last six seasons. edit: Norf are going standalone in the VFL next season, probably won't help them since their reserves are poo poo.

Between traveling from Camberwell to the city then back past Richmond again on the train I think I can safely generalise the appearance of the two sets of fans tonight Melbourne fans: all in collared shirts with impeccable hair Richmond fans: look like they all sleep in their car parked on the front lawn
