AFL Game Day R6 2023

[bornadog]

Hawks by 10 points, bringing Crows back down to earth

Put the moz on them and Crows win by 3

Just turned game on. Cordy doing ok for Saints. I’m happy for him. Weird seeing him in another shirt.

Carlton bigger pretenders than us

Saints pretty solid under Lyon. Well drilled. Very reminiscent of their 2008-10 days.

Be interesting to know what this system he has implemented though. This list is performing much better.

They're out-running opponents, specially late in games.
Using the corridor means that overall their running is a bit more 'useful' too. Given Collingwood's rise, is taking the risk to use the corridor the new effective trend in AFL football?

I have never rated Voss as a coach. With the players they have they should be a top 4 side

I mean the corridor has always been the way to hurt opponents and teams have therefore ensured to defend it. Most of the time if you try to use it you turn it over. How are the likes of Collingwood and saints able to break that down now? And wouldn't teams ensure the corridor is well defended?

I thought I read somewhere last week that the pies forced the saints to use the corridor which worked for them. I assumed the saints wanted to use the boundary.

From my untrained eye it looks like the saints, as you said, use their run. But they seem to use the wings with numbers and space. They always seem to have an extra with the ball carrier running out of defence and amazingly an extra up at half forward. Might simply be work rate.

Brad Hill looks a like a player and a half again.

LOL...with the players they have.

Ed Curnow is playing - he's been cooked for 5 years.

Lyon and his assistant have done a fantastic job to be 5-1 after 6 rounds . IF you would have asked me last year if the saints would be here, I would have laughed. Just shows how little I know about the genius or genesis of Lyon. I really dont know much about footy.

The saints have really lifted as a team and they have players seemingly recruited from nowhere playing their parts .
Stoker, Cody, Mason Wood would not have gotten a game in their old sides.
They found Caminitti from Carlton.
I would not be surprised if Tom Campbell gets a game this year!

Hunter Clarke is starting to fullfil his potential

interestingly the top disposals were all Calrton.
Cerra 39
Walsh 38
Acres 36
Crips 34
Hewitt 29
Newman 28


Sinclair 27

It appears some of their supporters have had enough of him and are looking for change already.

Do you really enjoy the life of a self hating Bulldog?

He's gotten them super fit, and ready to bring it up to the opposition and rebound the other way. A bit like Ratten did in his first season or so.

This is going to sound like lip service, but it is until it isn't.

Using the corridor has always been awesome if you can pull it off. But eventually you'll have to become more circumspect about your chances as teams shut you down as they get used to it.

It's before round ten, I'm not worrying about "footy trends" for a few more weeks.
