Round 7 - Other Matches

Westcoast being given a massive bath by Essendon.
Clay Smith can be given hope by Jobe Watson. A similar player who's kicking was much maligned but has learned to work within his limits.

With the GC v GWS result = Melbourne are on the bottom of the ladder!
On the bottom of the ladder in a season with two expansion teams!

I don't think any team can prosper on the gold coast. Its really a sterile environment. Afl with their money will try but I don't think it's a sport area at all. .

What would have been a better option? 2nd Brisbane team? NT? Tas?

Re: Round 7 - Other Matches

Eastdog I told you last week that GWS would beat GC!

You were right azabob and that's exactly what happened.

Great win by the Dons, but West Coast were ripe for the picking.
Just when is the blow torch going to be applied to Michael Voss?
Brisbane have gone backwards, and that slapshot 09 recruiting is hurting them badly.

Re: Round 7 - Other Matches

Had a quick look at WCE vs Bombers. For all those Dogs fans wondering why Josh Hill is a different player over there...just don't. Saw him have the opportunity to get a hard ball but instead just got out of the way, let the Essendon player take posession and laid a half effort tackle that was easily broken. Rest assured Doggies, he is the exact same Josh Hill we had :-)

How about leaving it at 16 teams

If only the AFL kept it to 16 teams. The old VFL back in the day before I was born had 12 teams. Footy has definitely changed.

Was at the game, wasn't that bad for a VFA game.

Where do you start, where do you finish?

Eventually there could be up to 20 teams in the AFL like in the EPL.

Re: Round 7 - Other Matches

I went along to Essendon vs WCE, one thing that was interesting was the way Jack Darling was ragdolled when he had to play on a genuine KPD sized player. As massive as the hype around him is, tonight he looked like your average 3rd tall forward that needed a big bloke to take the gun defender. He NEEDS Kennedy back.

Hmmm, Saw a familiar one handed weak half arsed tackle from Josh Hill tonight!
Honeymoon may end soon

Was only having a chat about Hill last night, would B.Mac be able to keep him enthused enough to perform at his capable level each week ?
Would he be the player he is now if we kept him ?
Different coaches can reach different players etc.
Then I thought, he will show his true colors soon and his attitude would have been detrimental to our younger Pup's.

Re: Round 7 - Other Matches

Josh Hill was no great loss at all. He's benefited from being in a good side and having a lot of better and stronger forwards around him. Saw a few things last night which reminded me of his days in the RW&B.

The guy we took with the pick we got for him, Pearce, may make his debut today.
