Round 9 games

Seriously, how bad were those set shot misses by McCaffer in the last quarter. 2 shots from 30 metres out, minimal angle & both nearly hit the point post!

I watched the game with a Collingwood supporter, and even he had to laugh when McCaffer missed those 2 set shots. They seem to have a lot of players that I wouldn't want to rely on in crucial situations.

I always think you learn more in losses than you do in wins, Collingwood have learnt tonight that:

* Wood is a gumby.

* Johnson can't kick and for that reason he shouldn't be playing.

* In big games every one in your team has to be able to kick a goal from 40m - Ball & Macaffer can't.

Wood wasn't great last night, but did take one good grab. Blake for Geelong had a real purple patch and did some good things.

Johnson is quick, but his kicking seems to go too high and lack penetration. He also struggles to kick the ball accurately.

Watching Ball refuse to kick was fairly interesting too. I guess he's becoming a bit like Cross in that you know he will refuse to move the ball by foot if the option is much more than 35m away. He was good with his work inside, but is definitely a limited player.

Who else would like to add to this list?

Pretty sure he kicked one from 50+ in the finals against Adelaide last year. He just didn't last night.

The Dreamtime game is hard to watch but the Bombers are doing enough to keep Richmond at bay.

Hille has stood up in the last few weeks, and looks especially dangerous when floating forward.

Mitch Farmer is so far below AFL standard it's laughable.

Great game up in Darwin with the lead changing half a dozen times in the last quarter.

Yes, it was a very good game, I enjoyed watching it. Melbourne had a good lead and hung on after Port Adelaide threw everything at them in that last quarter. Had to laugh seeing Sylvia in the ruck after Jamar went off for a couple of minutes.

SPOILER ALERT



The Hawks are absolutely toweling up Carlton at half time - 39 points up. Fingers crossed they can continue on with it and smash those cheating scum bags.

Yarran, Betts and Garlett have done zilch.

St.Kilda losing would be the cherry on top. Go Eagles.

I'm watching the game and Nick Heyne is an absolute dead ringer for Shane O'Bree. About the most interesting thing about the game at this point.

West Coast are a terrible football team - worst foot skills in the competition.
