Tom Liberatore (Western Bulldogs)__\n\n“Libba comes in at number two. So often we go straight to Bont (Marcus Bontempelli)… but Libba’s ability to be able to impact the game at clearance in these tight last quarters and get the ball going forward has been superb.”\n\n__3. Sam Taylor (GWS Giants)__\n\n“This one took my interest. He’s played in six quarters over the last two years where games have been decided by under 12 points and what he’s done in those six quarters, his intercept marking, ability to hold up against momentum has been a bit of a point of difference. \n\n“A lot of these players we’re seeing their work ahead of the ball and seeing their work at clearance and contest, but his ability to hold up behind the footy and be that roadblock (has been the standard).” \n\n__4.

I don’t know whether there needs to be a reset. Is this a trend? Is it a pattern of behaviour? I’m not sure. Maybe it’s just an event.\n\n“That’s a lot of players out of the game. We want the best players playing for long periods. \n\n\n\n“It’s difficult to put it to one thing. It’s a lot of things. I think there’s only four or five concussions amongst that 150-odd out. \n\n“If you want my opinion, I just feel like the game itself, we’re asking a lot of our players.\n\n“Is the game too long?”\n\nMcRae pondered the incremental increase in length of AFL seasons which last year jumped to 23 home and away matches and this year holds 24 rounds after the addition of Opening Round. \n\nHe feels that the game is asking a lot of the players and the unspoken feedback is coming in waves, in the way of constant unavailability. \n\n“They (the AFL) want to play more games. Potentially they want to play more games like in hub life,” he added.\n\n“We’re playing off five and six-day breaks, our players are doing that weekly, and it’s not just us, it’s every team.\n\n“Then there’s a flow-on effect of fatigue and the game has never been more powerful and physical in my eyes. From what I see from the boundary line and see our players post games.\n\n[](https://senstadium.com.au/)\n\n“We’re asking a lot of them. As athletes they look fitter and stronger than they’ve ever been. We start the season earlier, there’s still 15 rounds to go.\n\n“I just think there’s something to be said about the game which is giving us feedback. 150 players out, that’s giving us feedback.\n\n“If you’re comparing year to year, it’s a big number (153 unavailable players).”\n\nMcRae looks at shortened game time, like during the COVID-impacted season of 2020, as one possible solution to the injury crisis. \n\n“In hub life we played less time and I don’t think the game was any less of a product. Clearly we didn’t have the crowds to back that up,” McRae said further. \n\n“We were having five and six-day breaks regularly. We’re going into our third six-day break in a row, there is a fatigue level. \n\n“I don’t want to make this a Collingwood-centric thing, because it’s not, it’s a cost to all of our players. \n\n“When I come into match committee this week and you look at the magnets, you go ‘wow’, and then I hear this information.\n\n“It’s real.” \n\nPrior to Round 10, the Magpies had 13 players on their injury list, not including Jordan De Goey who played in the narrow win over Adelaide, but has [pulled up sore since](https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/05/20/collingwood-release-troubling-news-about-de-goeys-health-as-injury-list/). \n\nIn their victory over the Crows, Reef McInnes was concussed while Will Hoskin-Elliott suffered a hamstring injury \n\nThe reigning premiers next meet Fremantle in Perth on Friday night. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T07:40+10:00","author":"Andrew Slevison","seoTitle":"“Is the game too long?”: AFL injury crisis has Collingwood coach pondering length of the game","seoDescription":"More than 150 players were unavailable in Round 10.","seoKeywords":"AFL","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"3rnS5vw99XvTSJyddVtGVg","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-20T21:36:14.784Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-20T21:36:14.784Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Craig McRae Collingwood ","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/3rnS5vw99XvTSJyddVtGVg/056c3d711b34fff7f7a4d9b7bdb78534/07EsCo24DB2127.jpg","details":{"size":8129060,"image":{"width":5213,"height":3475}},"fileName":"07EsCo24DB2127.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5uOBi2OdBCeMgICO86cwWG","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:54.508Z","updatedAt":"2018-10-18T02:38:42.586Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":4,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"AFL","bgColour":"0060ff","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"afl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"3xw1XmSarFSlxfDZZ62HVM","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-04-03T00:11:51.559Z","updatedAt":"2024-04-03T00:13:08.044Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"AFL Teams","slug":"afl-all-teams","primary":false}}],"state":["QLD","NSW","TAS","WA","VIC","SA"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"12UpA5mYd5sdOc3WRX4t8b","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T02:48:23.080Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T02:48:23.080Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"“Anyone suggesting that… is 100 per cent wrong”: Lyon’s mail on Stringer contract talks","slug":"anyone-suggesting-that-is-100-per-cent-wrong-lyons-mail-on-stringer-contract","summary":"“I think he would be very happy and satisfied if he was to get a two-year contract.” ","content":"Essendon livewire Jake Stringer is in negotiations for a new contract at the Bombers, with *SEN’s* Garry Lyon revealing fresh details on the talks. \n\nStringer is enjoying his best start to a season since 2021, the year he last penned a contract extension at Essendon. \n\nThe 30-year-old’s deal comes to an end this season. A recent report from the *Herald Sun* had suggested Stringer was pushing for a three-year contract, although Essendon was aware the former Bulldog “can return to pre-seasons out of shape” and his professionalism could dip if given a longer deal. \n\nBuy Lyon, who interviewed Stringer on Monday night on *Fox Footy’s On The Couch*, insists the Bombers forward is happy with a shorter contract. \n\n“Let me just say this. Anyone who’s suggesting he’s chasing three years is 100 per cent wrong, that’s about all I could glean from it,” Lyon told *SEN Breakfast*. \n\n\n\n[](https://senstadium.com.au/)\n\n“I think he would be very happy and satisfied if he was to get a two-year contract.” \n\n*Breakfast* co-host Tim Watson added: “Given his past record in conditioning and that type of thing... it’s not unusual that football clubs put players on a one-year contract and they keep playing out one-year deals. We’ve seen that before.”\n\nStringer was forecast to put his best foot forward given his contract status this year and after getting his body right in pre-season, hasn’t disappointed. \n\nHe’s booted 19 goals from 10 games this season, averaging 12.3 disposals per game as a pure impact player. \n\nEssendon’s new list boss Matt Rosa told *AFL Media* last week that contract discussions with the 2016 premiership player were underway. \n\n“It's another one where we're in conversations with Jake's management team. We're just really pleased with the way Jake's playing but also the headspace he's in and the work he's putting in off-field. He's a much-loved player at Essendon and Jake loves the club also so those talks are progressing well,” Rosa said on *Gettable*. \n\nStringer’s resurgence has played a key role in Essendon shooting up the ladder, with the Bombers now eying eight wins from their last nine games should triumph over Richmond in the annual Dreamtime at the ‘G game. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T12:25+10:00","author":"Seb Mottram","seoTitle":"“Anyone suggesting that… is 100 per cent wrong”: Lyon’s mail on Stringer contract talks","seoDescription":"“I think he would be very happy and satisfied if he was to get a two-year contract.” ","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"32uE7LKj8pAVkBB6yBF0Sg","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-21T02:28:14.320Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T02:28:14.320Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Jake Stringer ","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/32uE7LKj8pAVkBB6yBF0Sg/fa4f01f7909bb724694058a52b2e49dc/09EsGWS24DP049122536.jpg","details":{"size":3633899,"image":{"width":4852,"height":3235}},"fileName":"09EsGWS24DP049122536.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5uOBi2OdBCeMgICO86cwWG","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:54.508Z","updatedAt":"2018-10-18T02:38:42.586Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":4,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"AFL","bgColour":"0060ff","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"afl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"1lRx4Xd2kwcG62OEMkEYWa","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:32:19.512Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:07.869Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Essendon","aflId":5,"slug":"essendon"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"o7n7zPKCaRDoXYSdmRExk","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:02.773Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:02.773Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Why Fraser-McGurk and Short were added to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad","slug":"why-fraser-mcgurk-and-short-were-added-to-australias-t20-world-cup-squad","summary":"“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer.”","content":"Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short have been added as travelling reserves to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad, although both won’t play unless there is an injury in the squad. \n\nWith Andrew McDonald and members of his squad set to fly out on Wednesday for the World Cup in the West Indies and the US, the Australian coach joined *SEN’s Whateley* to detail changes to the travelling party. \n\nIn-form opener Fraser-McGurk and BBL star Short have been added to the 15-man squad, with McDonald stating the batters bring different qualities. \n\n“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer. Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round… we have no fears he won’t be fit and fully available.”\n\nAustralia’s first of four group stage games comes against Oman in Barbados on June 6. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:27+10:00","author":"Seb

weekend.","content":"What did your club get right and what did your club get wrong in Round 10?\n\nWe had nine matches across the weekend with some remarkable finishes, some huge spankings and some massive individual performances.\n\nSee our assessments below:\n\n\n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Final term comeback and staying in it all day__\n\nAdelaide never gave in on Saturday at the MCG despite trailing for 109 of 121 minutes.\n\nThey easily could have dropped their head early on, particularly after the Pies skipped out to a 30-point lead in the second term after kicking six goals in a row.\n\nMany other teams, particularly from interstate, would have dropped their bundle in enemy territory against the reigning premiers.\n\nBut not Adelaide. Even though they didn’t win, they gave themselves enough chances to.\n\nThis team still believes their best is good enough to match it with the best, and they’re not wrong.\n\nIt’s one small thing to hang their hat on.\n\n__Getting the ball inside 50__\n\nThe Crows gave their forwards enough opportunities to win Saturday’s game, going inside 50 on 58 occasions to Collingwood’s 49.\n\nIn the final quarter alone, they went in 16 times to Collingwood’s nine. That’s where they really had the chance to win.\n\nLooking at expected score as well, the Crows only were behind 68.3 to 67.6, proving that the result was really a coinflip as the Magpies came up clutch.\n\nOn other occasions, those inside 50s will result in more scores and the Crows will get more reward for their efforts.\n\nIt was a defeat, but one they’ll take a lot of positives from.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Not sending anyone to Daicos in the first half__\n\nAdelaide should never have let Nick Daicos run free for the first half on Saturday.\n\nI mean, he’s a top two or three player in the competition on form and is only building into his season now.\n\nThe Pies superstar had a ridiculous 10 clearances and 24 disposals in the first half alone.\n\nWhile Jordan Dawson sat on him at stoppage in the second half, restricting him somewhat to four clearances and 17 disposals from then on, most of the damage was already done.\n\nWe’re not saying they should have tagged Daicos outright, but he’s one of a couple of players in the league that you need to put time into or else you will bleed.\n\nIn a game that was so tight in the end, it was just about the difference in the result.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Selfless Lions__ \n\nThe Lions shared the ball around at will, given the lack of Richmond pressure that came their way. \n\nThey were able to do as they pleased in and around forward 50, highlighted by Lachie Neale’s remarkable six goal assists.\n\nLogan Morris, Eric Hipwood, Joe Daniher and Jarrod Berry all had two goal assists each and the general finding of a teammate in a better position was evident all night. \n\nDespite two bags of five from Kai Lohmann and Charlie Cameron, their 26 goals were spread across 12 players which is a great sign for Chris Fagan. \n\n__Finishing was on fire__ \n\nBrisbane kicked 26.7 in a damaging display of finishing and accuracy. \n\nBefore Saturday night, the Lions had only kicked more goals than behinds in two matches in 2024. \n\nIt helps when you are afforded so much time and space to be able to conjure constant shots at goal, but they were able to put them away - something that has evaded them for much of the campaign. \n\n__Lohmann breaks out, Ah Chee delivers__ \n\nHe’s been bubbling away with some solid performances in the senior side this year, but Lohmann produced the best game of his career. \n\nLohmann had a nice fill-up with five goals from 14 disposals and seven marks, doing the damage early with a pair of majors in the first term. \n\nIt is normally the usual suspects whenever the Lions have a win, so it was nice to see an emerging player, in just his 18th AFL game, shine so brightly. \n\nCallum Ah Chee also got in on the act again with 19 disposals and 12 marks. \n\nHis hanger in the second quarter was a thing of beauty. \n\n__Relentless and ruthless all night__\n\nThe Lions jumped out of the blocks with seven first-quarter goals to Richmond’s zero.\n\nBut it wasn’t a one off.\n\nThey kept their foot on the throat of the Tigers, piling on six goals in the second, eight in the third and five more in the last. \n\nIt was a relentless and ruthless performance, perhaps the one that will truly kickstart their run towards finals. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Hipwood report and clearance numbers__ \n\nIt’s hard to find any woes in a 119-point win.\n\nThe only negative we can find is the tackle by Eric Hipwood on Nick Vlastuin which led to a one-week suspension (pending any possible Lions appeal). \n\nSomehow they were also beaten in clearances (35-36) and centre clearances (11-16), but obviously those numbers had zero impact on the game. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Zac Williams to half forward__ \n\nZac Williams has mostly struggled to find form in defence this year and has looked half the player he was before the ACL injury.\n\nThe Blues moved Williams to half forward in this one given the mountain of injuries they have to their forwards and he looked good early.\n\nHe was moved around following Jacob Weitering’s injury, but it was a role worth persisting with.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Carlton’s midfield is too slow__ \n\nSydney isn’t the first team to exploit Carlton when they play all of Cripps, Kennedy and Hewett, but it was particularly evident on Friday night.\n\nThe Swans did as they pleased at centre bounces and when the ball went their way, they were off to the races.\n\nCarlton clearly noticed the issue, trying Corey Durdin on-ball at stages, but that’s not the answer either.\n\nThe Blues need more dynamic players in the middle and Elijah Hollands is surely the one to receive a few opportunities in Adam Cerra’s absence. \n\n__Too many forwards don’t touch the footy__ \n\nCorey Durdin and Orazio Fantasia both played full games of footy on Thursday night for a combined 10 disposals, four tackles and 0.1.\n\nTom De Koning also spent 80 per cent of the game forward as Marc Pittonet assumes full control of the ruck – De Koning had six disposals, one mark and didn’t hit the scoreboard.\n\nCarlton needs to revamp their forward mix and needs desperately to hope Lachie Fogarty and Jesse Motlop are available to return this weekend. \n\nThe Blues also should go back to one ruckman and try to get their forward-half pressure game back, given it has dropped away significantly. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Clearance domination and midfield start__\n\nCollingwood’s midfield got the side off to a cracking start on Saturday.\n\nThe Pies kicked eight of the first 11 goals, and that was no doubt thanks to the upper hand they had at the contest.\n\nIn the first quarter alone, the top six ball-winners on the ground were all Magpies, with Nick Daicos (15 disposals), Scott Pendlebury (two goals, 12 disposals) and Jordan De Goey (one goal, 10 touches) doing most of the damage.\n\nGetting so much ball from the centre helped launch Collingwood’s scores as the Crows played catch up for the rest of the game.\n\nEven though the Crows worked back into it, the Pies also won the clearance count 44-36.\n\nIt’s the third week in a row where they’ve really dominated on-ball. If things remain the same, this side will be very hard to beat once talent returns in other areas of the ground.\n\n__Finding enough goalkickers with soldiers going down__\n\nCollingwood was already missing a handful of important forwards on Saturday, and things got worse when Will Hoskin-Elliott (hamstring) and Reef McInnes (concussion) went down with injuries.\n\nSomehow though, the Pies managed to kick a winning score, with nine individual goalkickers chipping in.\n\nOf those players, three were genuine midfielders, while half-back John Noble also got in on the action.\n\nCollingwood share the load as well as any team in the comp and that proved to be the case on Saturday.\n\nIf they can keep doing that while adding the likes of Mihocek, McCreery, Elliott and even McStay back into the team, this offence will go to another level.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Didn’t ever really put the Crows away__\n\nEven though the Magpies got out to a five-goal lead in the second term, they lacked the killer blow to ever put Adelaide away.\n\nThat came back to haunt them in the last quarter as the Crows pressed and even snatched the lead back for a brief moment.\n\nIf they had put the Crows away when they had the chance and cattle available, it never would have been an issue.\n\nWhen you’ve got the momentum, you need to make it count. Things like last week can happen far too easily when the Pies didn’t have a single tall target to kick to in the fourth term at stages, allowing the Crows to lock the ball in their front half.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got (W)right \n\n__Two-metre Peter back in form__ \n\nPeter Wright hadn’t kicked more than two goals since returning from suspension and was coming off a goalless performance against GWS. \n\nHe needed a big game and delivered against North Melbourne in a comfortable 40-point win. Four goals from six shots, as well as 11 hitouts and nine marks is right among the better games he’ll play and inspires confidence for the rest of the season.\n\nWright also enjoyed an equal club-high six inside 50s. Watch out Richmond this week. \n\n__Kept the pressure on__ \n\nThe Bombers had 22 less uncontested possessions than Alastair Clarkson’s North Melbourne but still laid some 56 tackles, 14 more than North Melbourne. \n\nIn a game Essendon was expected to win and win well, effort was clearly still the number one priority, with Brad Scott’s forwards still laying 10 tackles inside 50 to the Roos’ two. \n\nIf the Dons can bring that on a quiet Sunday against North Melbourne, they can do it against the best teams when it counts. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__What happened in the middle?__ \n\nEssendon’s clearance game is the 4th best in the competition, while the Roos rank 13th. \n\nSo for Scott’s midfield to be humbled 28-42, losing both total centre clearances and stoppage clearances, is a surprise. \n\nFor all Richmond’s faults in Round 10, they actually beat Brisbane in the clearance count, adding another fascinating storyline to this Saturday’s Dreamtime. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Jackson one-out in the ruck__ \n\nTeams have found ways to expose Rowan Marshall in recent weeks, with opposition ruckmen putting up big numbers and Luke Jackson was no exception. \n\nHe found 25 disposals, won 39 hit-outs, 10 clearances and laid six tackles. He’s clearly shown his capacity to dominate when given the sole ruck duties.\n\nOf course, Sean Darcy will be needed to spell Jackson and the pair can work together, but it seems clear at this point that the Dockers are at their best with Jackson and Josh Treacy as his backup.\n\n__Midfield mix is working beautifully__ \n\nFremantle smacked St Kilda in the midfield on Saturday night, allowing them to play with a set defence behind them and making it nearly impossible for the Saints to score.\n\nCaleb Serong, Andrew Brayshaw, Hayden Young and Nathan Fyfe as the predominant on-ball quartet was too much for St Kilda to handle, winning the clearances 50-33.\n\nIt’s been their go-to mix all season, with Matthew Johnson the fifth wheel in there and Jaeger O’Meara no longer in there.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Accuracy issues still plague Freo__ \n\nAfter last week’s debacle against the Swans, with the Dockers kicking 4.15, the yips plagued them again against St Kilda.\n\nFreo kicked 4.12 in the second half which ultimately restricted them to just 72 points – a winning score against the Saints but maybe not some other teams. \n\nIt’s one to watch as the season goes on. Jye Amiss the chief offender, kicking 2.5. There are worse problems to have!\n\n*Nic Negrepontis*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Three positional calls__ \n\nMax Holmes to half-back, Gryan Miers playing the connector role and Toby Conway as a full-time ruckman. \n\nOn a disastrous night for the Cats, that trio were clearly Chris Scott’s best players in performing exactly what was hoped. \n\nThe other 19 have got plenty to learn about breaking momentum and playing wet weather footy. \n\nScott’s system also fell apart given Geelong won contest and clearance. Lessons to be taken all round. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Stewart rendered useless again__ \n\nThere are a hundred aspects Geelong got wrong on Thursday, so we won’t harp on here. \n\nBut Round 10 was the second straight game where Tom Stewart again had no impact, despite the footy largely living in Gold Coast’s forward half. \n\nIt’s a hard one to put a finger on. Stewart had 13 intercepts, a clear game-high, but put almost zero pressure on his direct opponent. \n\nHe’s a better player than that and it’s on both Stewart and Scott to get the All-Australian calibre defender back to his impactful best and the Cats not conceding 26 goals. \n\n__Cam Guthrie’s management?__ \n\nIt’s certainly too early to tell, but have the Cats made a mistake getting Cam Guthrie straight back into the senior side? \n\nThe 32-year-old hasn’t dominated in his four games back from injury and on Thursday was subbed off in the third term of the eventual loss with nine touches to his name. \n\nHe wasn’t the only Cat below par. But he’s arguably Geelong’s most important player with Patrick Dangerfield out and a lack of experienced midfielders already and his failure will lead to Geelong’s more often than not. \n\nThe Cats were toothless without Guthrie near his best. \n\n*Seb Mottram*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Midfield dominance__ \n\nYou’ll be hard pressed to find a better performance from two midfielders in the same team in the same win. \n\nNoah Anderson (42 possessions, two goals) and Matt Rowell (35 possessions, eight clearances, 10 tackles) tore the Cats to shred at the contest and were Chris Scott’s biggest headache all night. \n\nThey weren’t up against much, but the Suns will love what they’re seeing from the developing stars. Throw in Ned Moyle’s impressive effort and 32 touches for Touk Miller and you’ve got a complete and utter midfield mauling. \n\n__Good call from Dimma__ \n\nEyebrows were raised when Damien Hardwick rested co-captain Jarrod Witts for the Suns’ biggest game of the year. \n\nBut young ruck Ned Moyle delivered in spades and justified the gutsy call. Moyle had a clear team-high 17 contested possessions and a whopping 42 hitouts, also getting busy to lay five tackles. \n\nAt the very least, Moyle – who is out of contract at the end of 2024 – had just seen his trade value jump. He continues to prove himself at AFL level on the rare occasions he gets a gig.\n\n__Where did King come from?!__ \n\nJust quietly, Ben King is a co-leader of the Coleman Medal! \n\nThe 23-year-old is in a four-way tie for first and plenty of rusted on footy fans would find themselves surprised to see King atop the goal kicking list. \n\nHe flew under the radar again on Thursday. Not his best game, but the key forward found a way to boot four goals in slippery conditions. \n\nHe’s looking a far better player than his twin brother at the current time. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Disappointment in contested footy__ \n\nDespite starring performances in the middle and blistering periods of attack, the Suns weren’t willing to get as busy as their opponents in the heat. \n\nAgainst a Cats lineup lacking plenty, especially through the midfield, the Suns still lost contested footy and clearances. \n\nHardwick’s men rank in the top six for both this year, so perhaps they’re due a mulligan. But don’t let it become the precedent. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Stars played well__\n\nToby Greene, Jesse Hogan, Lachie Whitfield, Harry Himmelberg, Tom Green and Stephen Coniglio and were among the Giants’ very best players.\n\nGreene kicked three goals from 17 touches, Hogan also booted three goals and took seven marks, Whitfield had 31 touches and 761 metres gained, Himmelberg had 30 disposals and 12 marks, Green amassed 29 touches and seven clearances and Conigio had 22 and six tackles. \n\nCal Ward did a great job in restricting Marcus Bontempelli to 10 disposals in the first three quarters which is a very impressive effort. \n\nThe reliable heads just didn’t have enough assistance from the younger and fringe players who had contributed so well in the first handful of games. \n\nIt’s a small win on an otherwise dirty weekend. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Did not play the conditions well__\n\nThe Giants were unable to match the Bulldogs in the wet conditions. \n\nAdam Kingsley lamented the fact that his side was easily beaten at clearances (38-46) and stoppage clearances (28-41).\n\nHe also felt they were not clever enough with the way they attempted to move the ball on a soggy surface. \n\nThey were unable to get their running game up and going which saw them produce just 41 inside 50s, hurting their ability to score.\n\n__Toothless in attack__\n\nGWS kicked 100 or more points in five of its first seven games of 2024.\n\nHave the Giants been worked out since?\n\nKingsley’s side has returned scores of 69, 62 and most recently 43, suggesting they are toothless in attack right now.\n\nToby Greene and Jesse Hogan kicked all six of their goals against the Dogs, highlighting a lack of assistance from those around them.\n\nThe once free-flowing Giants have been curtailed of late which has coincided with three defeats on the trot and four losses in their last five. \n\n__On a side note…__\n\nDid we overplay the Giants’ form earlier in the season?\n\nThey beat a hungover Collingwood side in Opening Round before picking up wins over North Melbourne, West Coast, Gold Coast (in Adelaide) and St Kilda - three of those sides are in the bottom five. \n\nThey did annihilate the Brisbane Lions, but it does seem perhaps their form has been somewhat overrated. \n\nThe Giants have a testing month ahead - Geelong at GMHBA, Hawthorn in Tassie, Port Adelaide and Sydney at home. We will truly know where they are by the completion of Round 15. \n\nKingsley’s side started the season nicely, but they’ve been well below their best over the last month or so. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Had it won (before they lost it)__ \n\nLet’s take the glass half-full approach. For two and a half quarters, the Hawks dominated a club with top-four aspirations on their own deck. \n\nClearances, contested footy, territory you name it, Hawthorn had it. That’s no mean feat and even though the Hawks lost, it’s a far better performance than most believed they could produce. \n\nSam Mitchell is the coach that’s touted to be, take nothing away from that. \n\n__Blake bloody Hardwick__ \n\nIf you had Blake Hardwick to kick four goals in the opening quarter, hats off. \n\nGiven he’d only kicked one goal since Round 5, the performance he put forward on Sunday afternoon at a roaring Adelaide Oval certainly came as a surprise. \n\nHe finished with five majors, 23 touches and two direct goal assists as the Hawks opened up a decent gap. \n\nIf Mitchell had his time again, you’d expect him to keep Hardwick – typically a small defender – ahead of the footy instead of throwing him down back late. \n\nBut alas, giving Hardwick the license to roam inside 50 gave Hawthorn a great shot. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__The entire last quarter__ \n\nMake no mistake, this game wasn’t only lost in the last 30 seconds. \n\nHawthorn went back into its shell for the entire last term, registering only four inside 50s for the quarter. Playing that brand of footy is asking to have your 28-point margin cut into and that’s exactly what happened. \n\nThere was no forward structure, and Hardwick – his side’s primary hope ahead of the ball – found himself deep in defence alongside Will Day, the Hawks’ best midfielder on the day. \n\nA lack of intent crucified the Hawks and Mitchell paid the price. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Won the ball at the source__\n\nDespite the 35-point loss, Melbourne did win the ball at the source.\n\nThe Demons beat the Eagles 41-36 at clearance thanks to a 28-21 stoppage clearance superiority.\n\nClayton Oliver had nine clearances, Max Gawn had six, and Jack Viney and Christian Petracca had five each. The usual suspects dd the job around the ball, but it fell over post clearance. \n\nAlthough they did the win the first ball more often than not, the Dees had their game taken away from them by the more desperate and hungrier Eagles. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Untidy by foot and blunt in attack__\n\nThe Demons struggled to conjure meaningful inside 50s across the course of the contest. \n\nYes, West Coast’s pressure was high, but the Dees were simply unable to use the ball effectively enough.\n\nTheir disposal efficiency was less than 67 per cent and they could only managed 36 inside 50s - their lowest return of the season so far. \n\nThose numbers simply did not give their forwards enough opportunity to score.\n\nAfter gaining the ascendency in the third term with a positive inside 50 count (+4), the Demons shot themselves in the foot by kicking 3.7, while the Eagles kicked 5.0.\n\n__Conceded 100+ in rare occurrence__ \n\nThe Demons conceded over 100 points for the first time this year and just the third time in a season and a half.\n\nThe 105 points kicked by the Eagles was the first time Simon Goodwin’s backline has been properly breached in 2024.\n\nA lot of that had to do with the fact that Jake Lever went off concussed in the first quarter which derailed and disorganised their defence. \n\n__Missed the chance to go third__\n\nA win would have put the Dees into third position.\n\nPlaying the last fixture of Round 10, they knew that four points would have placed them behind only Sydney and Essendon.\n\nBut they couldn’t get the job done and now sit in the middle of the pack with five other clubs on 24 points.\n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Davies-Uniacke is back__ \n\nIt hasn’t been a great season to date for LDU, but his performance against Essendon on the weekend was one of his career best.\n\nThe midfielder was the number one rated player on the ground, well clear of the next highest (Dyson Heppell), per Wheelo Ratings.\n\nHe won seven clearances, kicked two goals and had 27 disposals, but looked his explosive best.\n\n__Harry Sheezel’s best game as a midfielder__ \n\nIt’s taken Sheezel a few weeks to find his feet as an on-baller, but he really delivered on Sunday afternoon.\n\nHe found 32 disposals – back to his usual prolific nature – two goal assists, eight score involvements, six inside 50s and nine marks. \n\nIt’s a good sign for the Roos, particularly given the issues they’ve had in the midfield generally this season. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Second half wobbles__ \n\nThe second half on Sunday was hugely disappointing given the Roos were right in this game.\n\nThey went into the half-time break down seven points having traded blows and kept pace with the Bombers.\n\nFrom there, they conceded 9.5 and only managed four goals themselves, and were blown out in the fourth term. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Huge comeback__\n\nPort Adelaide were 41 points down 23 minutes into the third term on Sunday.\n\nThe likelihood of winning from there could have only been a couple of per cent, but they got there.\n\nThis team absolutely believes that 30 minutes of good footy can get them over the top of anyone, that’s how good they are once they click into top gear.\n\nUnfortunately for Hawthorn, that happened late at the Adelaide Oval as the Power kicked the final six goals to win in ridiculous fashion.\n\nThat comeback was led by Zak Butters, who collected a ridiculous 17 disposals in the last term alone.\n\nThey can thank him for securing the four points in this one.\n\n__The final minute__\n\nWith 35 seconds left, Port Adelaide were down by 11 points.\n\nLiterally EVERYTHING had to go right from there to win, and somehow it did.\n\nFirstly, Willie Rioli nailed a long set shot from a free kick. He also went back and kicked it as quickly as he possibly could to make sure time didn’t roll off the clock.\n\nAfter that, the Power had 22 seconds to find one more goal. \n\nWith the ball at a centre stoppage, Willem Drew farmed the ball out to Zak Butters who launched it forward.\n\nA contest ensued 30 metres out from goal directly in front. After the ball spilled out to a Hawthorn player, the ball sat on the ground for Darcy Byrne-Jones to soccer … the rest is history.\n\nIt was as perfect as the Power could have hoped for things to go in those dying moments.\n\nThey knew exactly what they had to do and executed perfectly.\n\nHats off to Ken Hinkley and the coaching staff, as well as the players for clicking into an all-out attack mentality to grab the win.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Sluggish start__\n\nPort Adelaide were incredibly slow out of the blocks on Sunday.\n\nThe Power allowed the Hawks to kick seven of the first eight goals, an incredibly disappointing effort given Hawthorn is a rebuilding side without some of their best players.\n\nEven though they were able to rope them back late and get over the line, they won’t want to give up that kind of start against any kind of finals contender.\n\nIf they do, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll be able to get back into it.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got \n\n__Youngsters got valuable minutes__ \n\nRichmond had 11 players with less than 40 games of experience.\n\nIt certainly was a proper footballing lesson that they received, which hopefully they’ll take plenty away from.\n\nKane McAuliffe played well in his third game, picking up 20 disposals and laying five tackles \n\nThe Tigers also managed to win clearances and centre clearances. But that was about the only stat line they won, and clearly had no bearing on the outcome. \n\nThere wasn’t much else to write home about. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Questionable effort and intent__ \n\nIt’s hard to pinpoint one exact area where the Tigers are being brushed aside.\n\nOne thing that has been alarming is the lack of pressure around the ball.\n\nThe Lions, despite losing clearances, just moved the ball so easily around the Gabba - and it made Adem Yze’s side look silly at times.\n\nRichmond’s drop-off in effort and intent over the last two weeks has been surprising, seeing as it was keeping them competitive in most games prior. \n\n__Somehow more injuries__\n\nThe amount of injuries Richmond has copped in 2024 is astounding. \n\nThey entered the Lions fixture with 15 players on the injury list. Mykelti Lefau hurt his jaw (thankfully it is not broken) and Rhyan Mansell was concussed during the game which did not help the cause. \n\nUnfortunately, ruckman Sam Naismith went down with another ACL injury in the VFL on Sunday, further compounding the club’s personnel issues. \n\nIt’s been a season of hell on the injury front at Punt Road. \n\n__Can’t score, can’t defend__\n\nThe Tigers’ lack of scoring ability has been one area that has plagued them in 2024.\n\nThey have scored just 622 points in 10 games at an average of 62.2 which is the lowest in the league. \n\nThey have failed to kick 50 points in each of the last four games.\n\nRichmond’s defence is also a glaring issue. They’ve conceded 1044 points at an average of 104.4 points per game. Only North Melbourne has conceded more points. \n\nIt’s time for Adem Yze to get tough with the playing group to avoid this season being even more of a disaster than it already is. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__The Swans have unearthed another tagger__ \n\nThe Sydney Swans have had a knack of uncovering undervalued role players and transforming them into the best tagger in the game. In 2022, it was Ryan Clarke who was tasked with shutting the opposition's most damaging player to great effect. \n\nThis year, it’s new recruit James Jordon who added Sam Walsh to his growing list of scalps. Walsh was unable find any rhythm or space in his game as he was held to 20 disposals (27.2 season average), three clearances (3.9), four score involvements (7.3) and one goal at 55% disposal efficiency (64.2%). \n\nJordon was able to find plenty of ball himself in the meantime with 16 touches, six tackles, three clearances, six score involvements and a goal. After shutting down Jordan Clark at Fremantle and Lachie Whitfield at the Giants, the Western Bulldogs will face a nervous wait to see who his next target will be. \n\n__The Chad lights it up for Marngrook__ \n\nChad Warner tore Carlton to shreds on Friday night with one of the best individual performances of the season to take home the player of the match award. Warmer amassed a team-high 28 disposals, 14 score involvements, 10 marks, 10 contested possessions, 721 metres gained and 3.2. \n\n__Running power overwhelms Carlton__ \n\nCarlton had no answer for the running speed and attacking play from the Swans whose midfielders and half back line ran circles around Michael Voss’ men. Sydney’s 23 players gained 6,158 metres compared to Calrton’s 5,621. \n\nThe Swans recorded a remarkable 17 running bounces on Friday night including nine alone from Chad Warner. There is no shame in Carlton being unable to contain the Swans’ run and carry with Sydney having the second most running bounces in the competition with 84. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__A concerning slow start __\n\nThe Swans found themselves 26 points behind midway through the first term and it could’ve been far worse if Harry McKay hadn’t missed from straight in front. Whilst the Swans went on to kick 13 of the 14 goals, John Longmire and the Swans should not sweep the slow start under the rug. \n\n*Charles Goodsir* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Josh Battle continues to shine in a contract year__\n\nSt Kilda will clearly be hoping to lock defender Josh Battle in long term as he remains a sturdy part of the defensive structures.\n\nBattle took 12 marks to go with 17 disposals in the loss to Freo, and is putting together an incredibly strong month. \n\nThings are going wrong for the Saints generally, but Battle has certainly carrying his load. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__St Kilda’s forward line is toothless__ \n\nMattaes Phillipou – four disposals, one goal – can’t find the footy.\n\nMax King – 10 disposals, goalless – is shockingly out of form. \n\nLiam Henry has been slow in re-integrating post injury, Lance Collard can’t be expected to find much of the footy and Anthony Caminiti comes in and kicks two goals, but likely makes way again for Tim Membrey.\n\nMitchito Owens kicks three, but only has eight disposals? How does that happen? \n\nSt Kilda needs to drastically adjust what they’re doing inside 50 and get these top-end players involved. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Harley Reid… again.__\n\nThe scariest part of Harley Reid’s ascendance is that this is likely the worst he is going to be in his career.\n\nThe young Eagle was absolutely electric against the Demons, dominating for stretches at a time and putting together a single-game highlight reel that would rival many players’ career highlights.\n\nReid has singlehandedly revitalised the entirety of West Coast, and the direst situation in the AFL has suddenly become full of optimism.\n\n__Jake Waterman is unstoppable__\n\nOn current form, there is arguably no better forward in the AFL than Jake Waterman.\n\nThat is not a sentence that many would have expected to exist coming into the season.\n\nAfter another bag of five against Melbourne, Waterman moves into equal-first in the Coleman race with 29 goals, with 23 of those coming in the last five games.\n\nWhile he is undoubtedly riding an unbelievable hot streak, the forward is playing a brand of footy that could conceivably span through the entire season, dominating aerial contests regardless of opponent.\n\nIt will be fascinating to see how Adam Simpson balances the forward line once Oscar Allen returns, as the right combination could suddenly make the Eagles’ attack look very scary.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Not slamming the door early__\n\nIt’s hard to nitpick a comprehensive victory over a premiership contender, other than the fact that it should have been even more comprehensive.\n\nThe Eagles led the Demons by 13 points going into the main break, despite having eight more scoring shots in the first half.\n\nWest Coast’s inaccuracy kept Melbourne in the game early on, and if they had kicked 10.5 rather than 7.8 in that opening half they could have completely slammed the door.\n\nOtherwise, it was a completely dominant display from the Eagles, with the 35-point margin arguably flattering the Demons.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n\n\n__Dominance everywhere but the scoreboard__\n\nIn almost every single facet of the game, this had the makings of a comfortable thrashing.\n\nThe Bulldogs easily came out on top in the clearance game, contested possessions and inside 50 count, all while forcing the Giants to play an unfamiliar, slow brand of football with a strong defensive structure.\n\nIt was the kind of performance that answered the bulk of concerns that had been levelled at the Bulldogs all season long and reaffirms their case for finals just weeks after they seemed out of reach.\n\nWith a tough stretch ahead of them, including games against the Swans and Magpies in back-to-back weeks, it’s time for the Bulldogs to prove that this display against GWS wasn’t an aberration.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Kicking accuracy__\n\nEven considering the slippery conditions, this was one of the worst goalkicking performances of the season.\n\nThe Bulldogs racked up a monstrous 30 scoring shots, 17 more than the Giants, and only managed a 27-point victory.\n\nA scoreline of 8.22, highlighted by a goalless opening term is simply unacceptable for any AFL team, let alone a Dogs side that is now back in the thick of the finals hunt.\n\nExpect plenty of kicking drills to be on the agenda down at Whitten Oval this week.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n[](https://www.sen.com.au/app/)","date":"2024-05-20T16:05+10:00","author":"SEN","seoTitle":"What they got right and wrong: Each club’s wins

year and is attracting serious interest from both Western Australian clubs Fremantle and Wet Coast. \n\nWA native Baker recently purchased a $2.2 million waterfront property in Perth, strengthening suggestions that he could be on the way out the Punt Road exit door at season’s end. \n\n\n\nGale indicated that Baker’s house purchase was merely a clever investment and is confident he will commit his future to the club. \n\n“He’s an astute investor, Liam,” Gale said on *SEN’s The Run Home*.\n\n“We’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, but he’s entitled to invest his money, and good on him.\n\n“But he’s a really important player for our footy club and an important part of our future.\n\n“He’s got an important decision to make and we’re confident it will be with us.”\n\nThe versatile and tenacious 26-year-old, who is a two-time premiership player with the Tigers, has played 117 games in yellow and black. \n\nBaker has missed the last two matches with general soreness, but Adem Yze’s injury-hit side will hope to have him back for this Saturday night’s Dreamtime clash with Essendon at the MCG. \n\n__Listen to Gale on Baker and a number of other Tigers topics

replacement","slug":"billy-loves-him-maroons-legends-split-on-munsters-replacement","summary":"State of Origin legends believe it comes down to Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Broncos star Ezra Mam.","content":"Queensland State of Origin legends are split on who they think should replace the injured Cameron Munster and wear the famous No.6 for the Maroons for the upcoming series.\n\nAfter Munster, who has played 18 games for Queensland, was ruled out for the entire 2024 series after reinjuring his groin during Magic Round, most believe his replacement is between North Queensland Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Brisbane Broncos star Ezra Mam.\n\nDearden has experience in the Origin arena after making his debut in the 2022 series decider when Munster was a late withdrawal with Covid, while the 21-year-old Mam has been a standout for the Broncos at five-eighth this season but is yet to make his debut at the representative level.\n\n“This is a difficult one isn’t it, well it’s a race of two between Ezra Mam and Tommy Dearden,” Cameron Smith said on SENQ Breakfast.\n\n\n\n“For me, I think particularly for a game one, I’d go with a guy that’s performed there before and that’s Tommy Dearden but there’s so many positives about Ezra Mam, don’t get me wrong.\n\n“I love the way he plays, I love the high energy, high involvement style of footy that he plays but Tommy Dearden, although his team is bumbling their way through the competition at the moment, I think he’s been a standout for the Cowboys.\n\n“He is one of the best competitors in this competition and I know Billy’s a huge fan of him.\n\n“It shows a couple of years ago in the decider, Billy had no issues throwing him in… That’d just the way I would go.”\n\n\n\nThe man, who famously created the iconic ‘Queenslander’ call, in Billy Moore agreed with the Melbourne Storm great.\n\n“To me I’d go Tom Dearden, I think he’s been groomed for the role, I think he marries up perfectly with DCE,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I love the way he plays so direct, he’s brave and the fact it means so much to him, when he was selected he started crying, that resonates with Billy Moore.\n\n“Ezra Mam, his time is coming, coming faster than we think. That’s the way I’d go, if they go the other way I wouldn’t have a problem with it either.”\n\nWhile former Maroons enforcer Shane Webcke believed Ezra Mam’s “x-factor” gave him the advantage when it came to selection.\n\n“When you lose a player like a Munster, you’re not replacing that… but what you would look for is a bloke who has a bit of x-factor about him… look at what he did in the grand final last year, that is what you look for,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I don’t think he’s a risk, he’s going to deliver… he’s one of those blokes that players love playing with him and that’s also another really important factor when it comes to an Origin side.”\n\nWebcke also believed Mam’s partnership with Reece Walsh and Patrick Carrigan would also benefit him if he was selected.\n\nGame I

playmaker Tom Dearden and Broncos star Ezra Mam.","content":"Queensland State of Origin legends are split on who they think should replace the injured Cameron Munster and wear the famous No.6 for the Maroons for the upcoming series.\n\nAfter Munster, who has played 18 games for Queensland, was ruled out for the entire 2024 series after reinjuring his groin during Magic Round, most believe his replacement is between North Queensland Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Brisbane Broncos star Ezra Mam.\n\nDearden has experience in the Origin arena after making his debut in the 2022 series decider when Munster was a late withdrawal with Covid, while the 21-year-old Mam has been a standout for the Broncos at five-eighth this season but is yet to make his debut at the representative level.\n\n“This is a difficult one isn’t it, well it’s a race of two between Ezra Mam and Tommy Dearden,” Cameron Smith said on SENQ Breakfast.\n\n\n\n“For me, I think particularly for a game one, I’d go with a guy that’s performed there before and that’s Tommy Dearden but there’s so many positives about Ezra Mam, don’t get me wrong.\n\n“I love the way he plays, I love the high energy, high involvement style of footy that he plays but Tommy Dearden, although his team is bumbling their way through the competition at the moment, I think he’s been a standout for the Cowboys.\n\n“He is one of the best competitors in this competition and I know Billy’s a huge fan of him.\n\n“It shows a couple of years ago in the decider, Billy had no issues throwing him in… That’d just the way I would go.”\n\n\n\nThe man, who famously created the iconic ‘Queenslander’ call, in Billy Moore agreed with the Melbourne Storm great.\n\n“To me I’d go Tom Dearden, I think he’s been groomed for the role, I think he marries up perfectly with DCE,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I love the way he plays so direct, he’s brave and the fact it means so much to him, when he was selected he started crying, that resonates with Billy Moore.\n\n“Ezra Mam, his time is coming, coming faster than we think. That’s the way I’d go, if they go the other way I wouldn’t have a problem with it either.”\n\nWhile former Maroons enforcer Shane Webcke believed Ezra Mam’s “x-factor” gave him the advantage when it came to selection.\n\n“When you lose a player like a Munster, you’re not replacing that… but what you would look for is a bloke who has a bit of x-factor about him… look at what he did in the grand final last year, that is what you look for,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I don’t think he’s a risk, he’s going to deliver… he’s one of those blokes that players love playing with him and that’s also another really important factor when it comes to an Origin side.”\n\nWebcke also believed Mam’s partnership with Reece Walsh and Patrick Carrigan would also benefit him if he was selected.\n\nGame I will be played at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on June 5.\n\n","date":"2024-05-21T15:00+10:00","author":"Brayden Heslehurst","seoTitle":"\"Billy loves him\": Maroons legends split on Munster's replacement","seoDescription":"State of Origin legends believe it comes down to Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Broncos star Ezra Mam.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6SKSbnR0LtpeAN0qkn1ENg","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2022-07-15T00:52:11.152Z","updatedAt":"2022-07-15T00:52:11.152Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Tom Dearden","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/6SKSbnR0LtpeAN0qkn1ENg/aca787e57d7a12e4c1c8773519197a9a/FXk79WfaMAAjAVJ.jpg","details":{"size":168189,"image":{"width":1024,"height":714}},"fileName":"FXk79WfaMAAjAVJ.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"61mBpqalwW8EO4g6yYoUuM","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2018-06-06T04:27:19.012Z","updatedAt":"2018-06-06T04:27:19.012Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Queensland","slug":"queensland"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD","NZ"]}}},{"title":"Smith praises injury-hit Warriors after big upset over Penrith ","slug":"smith-praises-injury-hit-warriors-after-big-upset-over-penrith","summary":"The Warriors were without a number of their regular starters.","content":"NRL great Cameron Smith has applauded the New Zealand Warriors following their shock victory over the Penrith Panthers at Magic Round yesterday.\n\nThe injury-hit Warriors walked away 22-20 winners in one of the biggest upsets of the season, ending a five-game winless streak that began with their draw against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in Round 6. \n\nThe Warriors were without regular starters Shaun Johnson, Tohu Harris, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Kurt Capewell, Luke Metcalf, Marata Niukore, and Rocco Berry forcing largely untested rookies to play bigger minutes than initially predicted. \n\nNew Zealand also lost Wayde Egan after 12 minutes to a Category 1 concussion, while Jackson Ford and Marcelo Montoya spent time off undergoing head injury assessments before passing and returning. \n\nSmith said the Warriors played extremely well to get the win considering their injury toll, and the atmosphere was enormous. \n\n“I think they played an extremely tough brand of footy and were very resilient,” Smith told *Breakfast with Vossy & Brandy*.\n\n“The Warriors had to fight hard.

2025","slug":"why-nrl-magic-round-should-be-on-your-sporting-bucket-list-for-2025","summary":"Here are 10 reasons why the weekend in Brisbane is everything an NRL fan could hope for.","content":"With the dust now settled on an epic weekend of NRL action in Brisbane and fans return home feeling full from an incredible smorgasbord of rugby league, there are at least three more years of the event being held at Suncorp Stadium to look forward to.\n\n*SENZ League* commentator Sam Hewat takes a look back at what made Magic Round 2024 special and why you need to do everything you can to get there in 2025.\n\n### 1.\tCAXTON STREET \nI remember for years hearing about the famous Caxton Street during State of Origin, where the team buses used to drive through enroute to Suncorp Stadium before it all became too hectic and a health and safety nightmare.\n\nDespite that, I never really appreciated or understood what exactly Caxton Street was and how much buzz it creates around a game (or games) of rugby league.\n\nLined with various watering holes and activities, Caxton Street is the starting point for the day at Magic Round - the pubs are packed, the fans are building a party atmosphere, and guess what… no fun police, and no dickheads. Just fans having fun, enjoying themselves, sharing some pre-match laughs, and getting ready to walk just five minutes to the gates of Suncorp Stadium.\n\n### 2.\tSUNCORP STADIUM \nHands down, the best sporting venue in the Southern Hemisphere. Sure, we can argue all day about grounds like the MCG or the Sydney Football Stadium, but none of them have the atmosphere and feel of Suncorp.\n\n50,000+ people packed into a rectangular ground where you’re basically on top of the field makes for a supreme cauldron. The noise is deafening, as we found out walking up the turnstiles during the Raiders v Bulldogs match on the opening day. \n\nEvery moment of the match is amplified by the sound the venue creates, and that’s before we talk about the flawless logistics of the place. Not once did we see or encounter queues, or have any problem getting out of the stadium once the final whistle went.\n\nIn fact, it’s quite surreal seeing how quickly Suncorp empties out once the evening is finished. It is a world-class venue, perfectly designed for rugby league with a rich history to match.\n\n### 3.\tTHE JERSEYS \nIf you’re a bit of a rugby league nuffie, you will revel in the memories that come flooding back as you walk around Brisbane for Magic Round weekend.\n\nEvery jersey from past and present is on display as fans proudly parade the streets wearing Raiders and Broncos jerseys from the 90s, Balmain Tigers kits from the 80s, and Bulldogs jerseys from the 70s, and even the never-forgotten North Sydney Bears.\n\nNot only does it build the vibe and the atmosphere around rugby league, they become great conversation starters as you bump into random people on the street. Ironically, despite supporting different teams, fans are united by their admiration for an old piece of kit and it lets you know rugby league is well in truly in town.\n\n### 4.\tEX-PLAYERS \nRugby union, listen up! Part of what makes Magic Round a mecca for rugby league fans, is the fact you can be walking down Caxton Street, or going to your seat at Suncorp, and bump into legends of the game.\n\nCam Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Freddy Fittler, Blake Ayshford, Gorden Tallis - these guys are walking around with the fans getting pictures, sharing laughs, maybe a bit of NSW v QLD banter, and enjoying the footy alongside everyone else.\n\nIt would be very easy for them to stick to their corporate boxes away from everyone and slip in and out of the venue, but no. The NRL makes sure they are on proud display for everyone to see.\n\nHead to The Lord Alfred before a game and Cam Smith will be inside having beers, go to the Caxton Hotel and Matty Johns will be the life of the party, and if you’re a Warriors fan, you can find yourself walking up to Suncorp alongside Kevin Campion or Mark Tookey.\n\n### 5.\tTHE LIVE SHOWS \nIf you’re a fan of rugby league podcasts like The Levels Network, The Bye Round, Hello Sport, or Matty Johns, Magic Round is the perfect opportunity to see your favourite hosts in action.\n\nAlmost every major rugby league podcast had some sort of show (or shows) across the weekend, whether it be at the pubs, outside Suncorp, or inside the stadium. These shows are interactive, they’re loud, they’re engaging, and they include everyone - not just the guests and the stars of the game, but the fans and kids too.\n\nI can’t tell you how many people have been raving to me about catching their favourite shows live in the flesh and getting photos afterwards - it’s just another way the NRL promote their game so well.\n\n\n\n### 6.\tFAN ENGAGEMENT \nWe’ve long said that sport needs to make sure it’s more than just the 80 minutes on the paddock, and most of the above plays into this next point. No one does it quite like the NRL and Magic Round when it comes to pulling the fans into the occasion.\n\nWe’ve mentioned Caxton Street, lined with events and great venues to get the Magic Round buzz, but it includes a whole lot more - closed for the entire weekend to car traffic, the road is full with games to play for prizes, DJs, food trucks, and fan activations.\n\nIf you’re with kids and not keen on wading through the pub pandemonium, they’ll have a blast trying to win a jersey, an NRL ball, or a free Magic Round hat.\n\nAs you arrive at Suncorp, it gets even better. There are numerous areas outside to sit and enjoy the Brisbane sun, watch the action on the big screen, grab a bite or a drink, and once again win some awesome prizes.\n\nOnce you enter, the buzz of the NRL hits you squarely in the nostrils - and it’s the little things that make it so much fun. The 'Faces of Magic Round' on the big screen, panning through the crowd with hilarious filters get fans in fits of laughter.\n\nThere was the promotion by Westpac where any game ball that lands in the crowd is allowed to be kept, where normally they have to be returned to the officials. And the halftime fireworks, pyrotechnics, live performances, and shirt cannons mean there isn’t a single moment of the weekend where you’re not having the time of your life.\n\n### 7.\tTHE RUGBY LEAGUE \nNeedless to say, the action in the middle of the Suncorp turf plays a supplementary role to all of the above. However, Magic Round never fails to deliver on some scintillating rugby league.\n\nOn the whole, it’s a pretty easy concept - get all of the NRL clubs to play at one venue over the course of the weekend. Non-stop action, almost no time between games, and fans get their money’s worth every step of the way.\n\nBut it’s not like a Nines tournament, or Rugby Sevens, this is right in the middle of the NRL season where games genuinely mean as much as the week before, or the week after. As a result, there is no gimmicky feeling to the action on the field.\n\nYou also get a chance to see all the best players in the game, in the space of three days. Granted, this year had its fair share of injuries, but being able to see every top-level player go toe-to-toe for three days straight is something you’d never be able to do without a Magic Round. The first six games of Magic Round had winning margins of four, one, four, eight, six, and two - meaning all but the final two matches came down to the wire, giving the fans a reason to stay in their seat for the entire 80 minutes.\n\nEssendon have reluctantly chosen to accept Harry Jones' one-match ban for a dangerous tackle on Zac Fisher. It was graded medium impact given potential to cause injury, which makes you wonder if low impact is still possible. Dons gave appeal considerable thought, but felt they…

\n\n### 8.\tCROWDS AND STADIUM SECURITY \nI’m yet to hear of any major problems or issues within the Suncorp crowd over Magic Round. With a party atmosphere flying around the weekend, it would make sense for things to get a little out of control at times. But it never came to fruition from what I saw, and instead you had a whole bunch of fans supporting their teams and getting right into the action while enjoying themselves.\n\nClose to 150,000 people attended the event across the three days, averaging 50,000 - meaning the NRL was just 2,500 people shy each day of a complete sellout.\n\nHOW GOOD!@NZWarriors CEO Cameron George crashes the SENZ commentary box at Magic Round 😆#NRLWarriorsPanthers pic.twitter.com/nwqndKIKpp
— SENZ (@SENZ_Radio) May 19, 2024
\n\nThe atmosphere was also aided by stadium security at Suncorp, which is unlike anything I’ve experienced in New Zealand.\n\nNot only is entry and exit into the stadium seamless, but the mandate to let fans enjoy themselves meant no one was being kicked out for having an oversized flag or carrying one too many drinks. No one was blocked from walking to different areas of the stadium, and guess what? Not a single streaker or pitch invader across the entire weekend. \n\n### 9.\tBRISBANE \nThe NRL has got the number one thing right with Magic Round – location. It’s the problem that plagues so many sports whenever they try to put something different on during their seasons.\n\nBrisbane really is a sporting oasis in Australia - they are rabidly passionate about their sport, more so than almost anywhere else in the world I’ve been to.\n\nIt’s the Queensland parochialism that shines through, but it’s also the way they get behind their codes. It’s not just about showing up, it’s about being loud and fanatical and immersing yourself in the occasion.\n\nBrisbane is an amazing city, highlighted with areas like the South Bank, West End, Fortitude Valley, and elevated with a body of water that runs right through the heart of the CBD.\n\nThe weather put on non-stop sun the entire weekend, with temperatures at a perfect 21 degrees. And the best part? If you want to extend the weekend out and make the most of the time off, the Sunshine and Gold Coasts are just short drives away. \n\n### 10.\tTHE MOMENTS\nLast but not least, when it comes down to brass tacks, Magic Round sets the stage for the biggest moments of all.\n\nWhether it was a last-minute field goal for Brisbane to get up over Manly, the Sharks and Roosters going tit for tat as the two in-form teams of the competition, or of course the Warriors tipping up the Panthers for an historic win, Magic Round gives the fans just that – a little bit of magic.\n\nAttendance across the three days of #NRLMagicRound = 149,196 🥳

Much love to Brisbane for your hospitality and putting on such an incredible event for rugby league fans!
\n\nSure, that happens week in week out in the NRL, but as a fan sitting at Suncorp, getting to witness those moments game after game in between all of the partying and festivities, those are the memories you’ll keep with you forever as you fly back home to New Zealand bleary-eyed and in need of a good sleep.

Just fans having fun, enjoying themselves, sharing some pre-match laughs, and getting ready to walk just five minutes to the gates of Suncorp Stadium.\n\n### 2.\tSUNCORP STADIUM \nHands down, the best sporting venue in the Southern Hemisphere. Sure, we can argue all day about grounds like the MCG or the Sydney Football Stadium, but none of them have the atmosphere and feel of Suncorp.\n\n50,000+ people packed into a rectangular ground where you’re basically on top of the field makes for a supreme cauldron. The noise is deafening, as we found out walking up the turnstiles during the Raiders v Bulldogs match on the opening day. \n\nEvery moment of the match is amplified by the sound the venue creates, and that’s before we talk about the flawless logistics of the place. Not once did we see or encounter queues, or have any problem getting out of the stadium once the final whistle went.\n\nIn fact, it’s quite surreal seeing how quickly Suncorp empties out once the evening is finished. It is a world-class venue, perfectly designed for rugby league with a rich history to match.\n\n### 3.\tTHE JERSEYS \nIf you’re a bit of a rugby league nuffie, you will revel in the memories that come flooding back as you walk around Brisbane for Magic Round weekend.\n\nEvery jersey from past and present is on display as fans proudly parade the streets wearing Raiders and Broncos jerseys from the 90s, Balmain Tigers kits from the 80s, and Bulldogs jerseys from the 70s, and even the never-forgotten North Sydney Bears.\n\nNot only does it build the vibe and the atmosphere around rugby league, they become great conversation starters as you bump into random people on the street. Ironically, despite supporting different teams, fans are united by their admiration for an old piece of kit and it lets you know rugby league is well in truly in town.\n\n### 4.\tEX-PLAYERS \nRugby union, listen up! Part of what makes Magic Round a mecca for rugby league fans, is the fact you can be walking down Caxton Street, or going to your seat at Suncorp, and bump into legends of the game.\n\nCam Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Freddy Fittler, Blake Ayshford, Gorden Tallis - these guys are walking around with the fans getting pictures, sharing laughs, maybe a bit of NSW v QLD banter, and enjoying the footy alongside everyone else.\n\nIt would be very easy for them to stick to their corporate boxes away from everyone and slip in and out of the venue, but no. The NRL makes sure they are on proud display for everyone to see.\n\nHead to The Lord Alfred before a game and Cam Smith will be inside having beers, go to the Caxton Hotel and Matty Johns will be the life of the party, and if you’re a Warriors fan, you can find yourself walking up to Suncorp alongside Kevin Campion or Mark Tookey.\n\n### 5.\tTHE LIVE SHOWS \nIf you’re a fan of rugby league podcasts like The Levels Network, The Bye Round, Hello Sport, or Matty Johns, Magic Round is the perfect opportunity to see your favourite hosts in action.\n\nAlmost every major rugby league podcast had some sort of show (or shows) across the weekend, whether it be at the pubs, outside Suncorp, or inside the stadium. These shows are interactive, they’re loud, they’re engaging, and they include everyone - not just the guests and the stars of the game, but the fans and kids too.\n\nI can’t tell you how many people have been raving to me about catching their favourite shows live in the flesh and getting photos afterwards - it’s just another way the NRL promote their game so well.\n\n\n\n### 6.\tFAN ENGAGEMENT \nWe’ve long said that sport needs to make sure it’s more than just the 80 minutes on the paddock, and most of the above plays into this next point. No one does it quite like the NRL and Magic Round when it comes to pulling the fans into the occasion.\n\nWe’ve mentioned Caxton Street, lined with events and great venues to get the Magic Round buzz, but it includes a whole lot more - closed for the entire weekend to car traffic, the road is full with games to play for prizes, DJs, food trucks, and fan activations.\n\nIf you’re with kids and not keen on wading through the pub pandemonium, they’ll have a blast trying to win a jersey, an NRL ball, or a free Magic Round hat.\n\nAs you arrive at Suncorp, it gets even better. There are numerous areas outside to sit and enjoy the Brisbane sun, watch the action on the big screen, grab a bite or a drink, and once again win some awesome prizes.\n\nOnce you enter, the buzz of the NRL hits you squarely in the nostrils - and it’s the little things that make it so much fun. The 'Faces of Magic Round' on the big screen, panning through the crowd with hilarious filters get fans in fits of laughter.\n\nThere was the promotion by Westpac where any game ball that lands in the crowd is allowed to be kept, where normally they have to be returned to the officials. And the halftime fireworks, pyrotechnics, live performances, and shirt cannons mean there isn’t a single moment of the weekend where you’re not having the time of your life.\n\n### 7.\tTHE RUGBY LEAGUE \nNeedless to say, the action in the middle of the Suncorp turf plays a supplementary role to all of the above. However, Magic Round never fails to deliver on some scintillating rugby league.\n\nOn the whole, it’s a pretty easy concept - get all of the NRL clubs to play at one venue over the course of the weekend. Non-stop action, almost no time between games, and fans get their money’s worth every step of the way.\n\nBut it’s not like a Nines tournament, or Rugby Sevens, this is right in the middle of the NRL season where games genuinely mean as much as the week before, or the week after. As a result, there is no gimmicky feeling to the action on the field.\n\nYou also get a chance to see all the best players in the game, in the space of three days. Granted, this year had its fair share of injuries, but being able to see every top-level player go toe-to-toe for three days straight is something you’d never be able to do without a Magic Round. The first six games of Magic Round had winning margins of four, one, four, eight, six, and two - meaning all but the final two matches came down to the wire, giving the fans a reason to stay in their seat for the entire 80 minutes.\n\nCronulla complete the comeback to beat the Sydney Roosters 38-30 and remain top of the NRL ladder!#NRLSharksRoosters pic.twitter.com/igqqK0EHlG

\n\n### 8.\tCROWDS AND STADIUM SECURITY \nI’m yet to hear of any major problems or issues within the Suncorp crowd over Magic Round. With a party atmosphere flying around the weekend, it would make sense for things to get a little out of control at times. But it never came to fruition from what I saw, and instead you had a whole bunch of fans supporting their teams and getting right into the action while enjoying themselves.\n\nClose to 150,000 people attended the event across the three days, averaging 50,000 - meaning the NRL was just 2,500 people shy each day of a complete sellout.\n\nHOW GOOD!@NZWarriors CEO Cameron George crashes the SENZ commentary box at Magic Round 😆#NRLWarriorsPanthers pic.twitter.com/nwqndKIKpp
— SENZ (@SENZ_Radio) May 19, 2024
\n\nThe atmosphere was also aided by stadium security at Suncorp, which is unlike anything I’ve experienced in New Zealand.\n\nNot only is entry and exit into the stadium seamless, but the mandate to let fans enjoy themselves meant no one was being kicked out for having an oversized flag or carrying one too many drinks. No one was blocked from walking to different areas of the stadium, and guess what? Not a single streaker or pitch invader across the entire weekend. \n\n### 9.\tBRISBANE \nThe NRL has got the number one thing right with Magic Round – location. It’s the problem that plagues so many sports whenever they try to put something different on during their seasons.\n\nBrisbane really is a sporting oasis in Australia - they are rabidly passionate about their sport, more so than almost anywhere else in the world I’ve been to.\n\nIt’s the Queensland parochialism that shines through, but it’s also the way they get behind their codes. It’s not just about showing up, it’s about being loud and fanatical and immersing yourself in the occasion.\n\nBrisbane is an amazing city, highlighted with areas like the South Bank, West End, Fortitude Valley, and elevated with a body of water that runs right through the heart of the CBD.\n\nThe weather put on non-stop sun the entire weekend, with temperatures at a perfect 21 degrees. And the best part? If you want to extend the weekend out and make the most of the time off, the Sunshine and Gold Coasts are just short drives away. \n\n### 10.\tTHE MOMENTS\nLast but not least, when it comes down to brass tacks, Magic Round sets the stage for the biggest moments of all.\n\nWhether it was a last-minute field goal for Brisbane to get up over Manly, the Sharks and Roosters going tit for tat as the two in-form teams of the competition, or of course the Warriors tipping up the Panthers for an historic win, Magic Round gives the fans just that – a little bit of magic.\n\nAttendance across the three days of #NRLMagicRound = 149,196 🥳

Much love to Brisbane for your hospitality and putting on such an incredible event for rugby league fans!
\n\nSure, that happens week in week out in the NRL, but as a fan sitting at Suncorp, getting to witness those moments game after game in between all of the partying and festivities, those are the memories you’ll keep with you forever as you fly back home to New Zealand bleary-eyed and in need of a good sleep. It makes the weekend worth it and has you craving it all again in twelve months time.\n\nIf you’re an NRL fan, and you haven’t got Magic Round on your bucket list, get out the pen and paper immediately. Grab a group of mates, start saving up the party funds, book in your flights and accommodation as soon as the schedule is announced, and get yourself over to Brisbane in 2025.

Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round… we have no fears he won’t be fit and fully available.”\n\nAustralia’s first of four group stage games comes against Oman in Barbados on June 6. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:27+10:00","author":"Seb

Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round… we have no fears he won’t be fit and fully available.”\n\nAustralia’s first of four group stage games comes against Oman in Barbados on June 6. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:27+10:00","author":"Seb Mottram","seoTitle":"Why Fraser-McGurk and Short were added to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad","seoDescription":"“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer.”","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"70V42gS8r46NT2BWNiOwEq","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:00.291Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:00.291Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"BEST SPLIT IMG (USE THIS) (66)","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/70V42gS8r46NT2BWNiOwEq/d46583b8715e38a31d09c9f9474c552f/BEST_SPLIT_IMG__USE_THIS___66_.jpg","details":{"size":72913,"image":{"width":800,"height":600}},"fileName":"BEST SPLIT IMG (USE THIS) (66).jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5IXQXxtEbYoKg444mq0WeG","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:54.026Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:41:03.145Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Cricket","bgColour":"4fb952","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"cricket","primary":true}},"state":["VIC","SA","TAS","NSW","QLD","WA"]}}},{"title":"“They will have to tap some players on the shoulder\": Why Riccio expects a mass player exodus at Parramatta ","slug":"they-will-have-to-tap-some-players-on-the-shoulder-why-riccio-expects-a-mass","summary":"“There will absolutely be changes made to that roster whichever head coach comes into that club.\" ","content":"The Parramatta Eels’ fortunes have gone from bad to worse with *The Daily Telegraph’s* David Riccio forecasting a massive player cleanout following the sacking of coach Brad Arthur. \n\nThe Parramatta board confirmed on Monday that Arthur’s contract had been terminated after 10 full seasons and 264 games at the helm.

I would suggest to you that he’s pretty much doing the same things that he’s always done.\n\n“His view is this, and I agree with him, the same things that have always won a game of rugby league are the same things that are always going to win a game of rugby league.\n\n\n\n“You have to have the will, the intent, so his trainings were always pointed towards the resilience, the patterns and the mind numbingly repetitive stuff that you’ve got to be good at to win games of rugby league.\n\n“I think the reason for his sustained success over a long period of time across different clubs, I think what it is, is that he’s kept it simple, he hasn’t made rocket science out of being a rugby league coach.”\n\nWebcke also believed Bennett was not motivated by money to return to Souths, instead he said he was motivated by the challenge of turning the club around.\n\n“I think he’ll go back to Souths… people are going to say it’s a pay day and all that… but understand what drives the man… it’s because there’s a challenge,” he said.\n\n“He looks at Souths, looks at that club and thinks they’re a whole lot better than that… he will look at that and think I’m going to try and fix that and I’ll lay out money that he will fix it.”\n\nBennett has his Dolphins team in fourth on the NRL ladder with a clash against the Warriors in Auckland ahead on Sunday.\n\n","date":"2024-05-21T15:45+10:00","author":"Brayden Heslehurst","seoTitle":"Why Wayne Bennett \"will fix\" the Rabbitohs after confirming his return to the club","seoDescription":"The

playmaker Tom Dearden and Broncos star Ezra Mam.","content":"Queensland State of Origin legends are split on who they think should replace the injured Cameron Munster and wear the famous No.6 for the Maroons for the upcoming series.\n\nAfter Munster, who has played 18 games for Queensland, was ruled out for the entire 2024 series after reinjuring his groin during Magic Round, most believe his replacement is between North Queensland Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Brisbane Broncos star Ezra Mam.\n\nDearden has experience in the Origin arena after making his debut in the 2022 series decider when Munster was a late withdrawal with Covid, while the 21-year-old Mam has been a standout for the Broncos at five-eighth this season but is yet to make his debut at the representative level.\n\n“This is a difficult one isn’t it, well it’s a race of two between Ezra Mam and Tommy Dearden,” Cameron Smith said on SENQ Breakfast.\n\n\n\n“For me, I think particularly for a game one, I’d go with a guy that’s performed there before and that’s Tommy Dearden but there’s so many positives about Ezra Mam, don’t get me wrong.\n\n“I love the way he plays, I love the high energy, high involvement style of footy that he plays but Tommy Dearden, although his team is bumbling their way through the competition at the moment, I think he’s been a standout for the Cowboys.\n\n“He is one of the best competitors in this competition and I know Billy’s a huge fan of him.\n\n“It shows a couple of years ago in the decider, Billy had no issues throwing him in… That’d just the way I would go.”\n\n\n\nThe man, who famously created the iconic ‘Queenslander’ call, in Billy Moore agreed with the Melbourne Storm great.\n\n“To me I’d go Tom Dearden, I think he’s been groomed for the role, I think he marries up perfectly with DCE,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I love the way he plays so direct, he’s brave and the fact it means so much to him, when he was selected he started crying, that resonates with Billy Moore.\n\n“Ezra Mam, his time is coming, coming faster than we think. That’s the way I’d go, if they go the other way I wouldn’t have a problem with it either.”\n\nWhile former Maroons enforcer Shane Webcke believed Ezra Mam’s “x-factor” gave him the advantage when it came to selection.\n\n“When you lose a player like a Munster, you’re not replacing that… but what you would look for is a bloke who has a bit of x-factor about him… look at what he did in the grand final last year, that is what you look for,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I don’t think he’s a risk, he’s going to deliver… he’s one of those blokes that players love playing with him and that’s also another really important factor when it comes to an Origin side.”\n\nWebcke also believed Mam’s partnership with Reece Walsh and Patrick Carrigan would also benefit him if he was selected.\n\nGame I will be played at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on June 5.\n\n","date":"2024-05-21T15:00+10:00","author":"Brayden Heslehurst","seoTitle":"\"Billy loves him\": Maroons legends split on Munster's

starters.","content":"NRL great Cameron Smith has applauded the New Zealand Warriors following their shock victory over the Penrith Panthers at Magic Round yesterday.\n\nThe injury-hit Warriors walked away 22-20 winners in one of the biggest upsets of the season, ending a five-game winless streak that began with their draw against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in Round 6. \n\nThe Warriors were without regular starters Shaun Johnson, Tohu Harris, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Kurt Capewell, Luke Metcalf, Marata Niukore, and Rocco Berry forcing largely untested rookies to play bigger minutes than initially predicted. \n\nNew Zealand also lost Wayde Egan after 12 minutes to a Category 1 concussion, while Jackson Ford and Marcelo Montoya spent time off undergoing head injury assessments before passing and returning. \n\nSmith said the Warriors played extremely well to get the win considering their injury toll, and the atmosphere was enormous. \n\n“I think they played an extremely tough brand of footy and were very resilient,” Smith told *Breakfast with Vossy & Brandy*.\n\n“The Warriors had to fight hard. They were missing a few of their stars… and to get the win the way they did, they had to come from behind, and to win it by two points was fantastic. \n\n“My goodness, the noise from the crowd… that was as big as any finals game I’ve been at, getting close to sort of origin-like. It was loud, so that was a wonderful moment for the weekend. \n\nDespite their shock loss, Smith isn’t concerned about a drop in-form for the Penrith Panthers. \n\n“There are high standards around Penrith… most weeks we expect them to be faultless… at the end of the day, they’re human beings. They’re a footy side who can have an off week,” Smith commented. \n\n“There’s no doubt there’s been some change the club, they’ve lost some quality individuals, that’s always going to have an impact. \n\n“I think it might just be a blip on the radar. That’s taking nothing away from the Warriors… to be able to get up against a Panthers’ team… was pretty special but I’m not reading too much into that loss.”\n\nPenrith were without star Nathan Cleary, who is out for roughly seven more weeks with a hamstring injury. \n\nThe Warriors return to New Zealand to take on The Dolphins this Sunday. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T13:03+10:00","author":"Sam Kosack","seoTitle":"Smith praises injury-hit Warriors after big upset over Penrith ","seoDescription":"The Warriors were without a number of their regular starters.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"3tOibQe7ZWciLPloxWxAsh","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-20T05:20:13.204Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-20T05:20:13.204Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"new zealand warriors upset penrith","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/3tOibQe7ZWciLPloxWxAsh/43df054958a3746938ff0c6a13593a9b/GettyImages-2153619535.jpg","details":{"size":1109393,"image":{"width":3000,"height":1999}},"fileName":"GettyImages-2153619535.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6SF7h865EoQoIM4VQh4j5M","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","updatedAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"New Zealand Warriors","slug":"new-zealand-warriors"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5jLyH0nGZxS5wL9agOUv8T","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2022-06-16T06:16:12.275Z","updatedAt":"2022-06-16T06:16:12.275Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Penrith Panthers","slug":"penrith-panthers"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD","NZ"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5YSiHt2lqiAgVA6JmMe6z8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T00:36:42.769Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T00:36:42.769Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Wayne Bennett signs three-year deal with South Sydney ","slug":"wayne-bennett-signs-three-year-deal-with-south-sydney","summary":"The Supercoach returns to Redfern to address some unfinished business.

NRL Magic Round should be on your sporting bucket list for 2025","slug":"why-nrl-magic-round-should-be-on-your-sporting-bucket-list-for-2025","summary":"Here are 10 reasons why the weekend in Brisbane is everything an NRL fan could hope for.","content":"With the dust now settled on an epic weekend of NRL action in Brisbane and fans return home feeling full from an incredible smorgasbord of rugby league, there are at least three more years of the event being held at Suncorp Stadium to look forward to.\n\n*SENZ League* commentator Sam Hewat takes a look back at what made Magic Round 2024 special and why you need to do everything you can to get there in 2025.\n\n### 1.\tCAXTON STREET \nI remember for years hearing about the famous Caxton Street during State of Origin, where the team buses used to drive through enroute to Suncorp Stadium before it all became too hectic and a health and safety nightmare.\n\nDespite that, I never really appreciated or understood what exactly Caxton Street was and how much buzz it creates around a game (or games) of rugby league.\n\nLined with various watering holes and activities, Caxton Street is the starting point for the day at Magic Round - the pubs are packed, the fans are building a party atmosphere, and guess what… no fun police, and no dickheads. Just fans having fun, enjoying themselves, sharing some pre-match laughs, and getting ready to walk just five minutes to the gates of Suncorp Stadium.\n\n### 2.\tSUNCORP STADIUM \nHands down, the best sporting venue in the Southern Hemisphere. Sure, we can argue all day about grounds like the MCG or the Sydney Football Stadium, but none of them have the atmosphere and feel of Suncorp.\n\n50,000+ people packed into a rectangular ground where you’re basically on top of the field makes for a supreme cauldron. The noise is deafening, as we found out walking up the turnstiles during the Raiders v Bulldogs match on the opening day. \n\nEvery moment of the match is amplified by the sound the venue creates, and that’s before we talk about the flawless logistics of the place. Not once did we see or encounter queues, or have any problem getting out of the stadium once the final whistle went.\n\nIn fact, it’s quite surreal seeing how quickly Suncorp empties out once the evening is finished. It is a world-class venue, perfectly designed for rugby league with a rich history to match.\n\n### 3.\tTHE JERSEYS \nIf you’re a bit of a rugby league nuffie, you will revel in the memories that come flooding back as you walk around Brisbane for Magic Round weekend.\n\nEvery jersey from past and present is on display as fans proudly parade the streets wearing Raiders and Broncos jerseys from the 90s, Balmain Tigers kits from the 80s, and Bulldogs jerseys from the 70s, and even the never-forgotten North Sydney Bears.\n\nNot only does it build the vibe and the atmosphere around rugby league, they become great conversation starters as you bump into random people on the street. Ironically, despite supporting different teams, fans are united by their admiration for an old piece of kit and it lets you know rugby league is well in truly in town.\n\n### 4.\tEX-PLAYERS \nRugby union, listen up! Part of what makes Magic Round a mecca for rugby league fans, is the fact you can be walking down Caxton Street, or going to your seat at Suncorp, and bump into legends of the game.\n\nCam Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Freddy Fittler, Blake Ayshford, Gorden Tallis - these guys are walking around with the fans getting pictures, sharing laughs, maybe a bit of NSW v QLD banter, and enjoying the footy alongside everyone else.\n\nIt would be very easy for them to stick to their corporate boxes away from everyone and slip in and out of the venue, but no. The NRL makes sure they are on proud display for everyone to see.\n\nHead to The Lord Alfred before a game and Cam Smith will be inside having beers, go to the Caxton Hotel and Matty Johns will be the life of the party, and if you’re a Warriors fan, you can find yourself walking up to Suncorp alongside Kevin Campion or Mark Tookey.\n\n### 5.\tTHE LIVE SHOWS \nIf you’re a fan of rugby league podcasts like The Levels Network, The Bye Round, Hello Sport, or Matty Johns, Magic Round is the perfect opportunity to see your favourite hosts in action.\n\nAlmost every major rugby league podcast had some sort of show (or shows) across the weekend, whether it be at the pubs, outside Suncorp, or inside the stadium. These shows are interactive, they’re loud, they’re engaging, and they include everyone - not just the guests and the stars of the game, but the fans and kids too.\n\nI can’t tell you how many people have been raving to me about catching their favourite shows live in the flesh and getting photos afterwards - it’s just another way the NRL promote their game so well.\n\n\n\n### 6.\tFAN ENGAGEMENT \nWe’ve long said that sport needs to make sure it’s more than just the 80 minutes on the paddock, and most of the above plays into this next point. No one does it quite like the NRL and Magic Round when it comes to pulling the fans into the occasion.\n\nWe’ve mentioned Caxton Street, lined with events and great venues to get the Magic Round buzz, but it includes a whole lot more - closed for the entire weekend to car traffic, the road is full with games to play for prizes, DJs, food trucks, and fan activations.\n\nIf you’re with kids and not keen on wading through the pub pandemonium, they’ll have a blast trying to win a jersey, an NRL ball, or a free Magic Round hat.\n\nAs you arrive at Suncorp, it gets even better. There are numerous areas outside to sit and enjoy the Brisbane sun, watch the action on the big screen, grab a bite or a drink, and once again win some awesome prizes.\n\nOnce you enter, the buzz of the NRL hits you squarely in the nostrils - and it’s the little things that make it so much fun. The 'Faces of Magic Round' on the big screen, panning through the crowd with hilarious filters get fans in fits of laughter.\n\nThere was the promotion by Westpac where any game ball that lands in the crowd is allowed to be kept, where normally they have to be returned to the officials. And the halftime fireworks, pyrotechnics, live performances, and shirt cannons mean there isn’t a single moment of the weekend where you’re not having the time of your life.\n\n### 7.\tTHE RUGBY LEAGUE \nNeedless to say, the action in the middle of the Suncorp turf plays a supplementary role to all of the above. However, Magic Round never fails to deliver on some scintillating rugby league.\n\nOn the whole, it’s a pretty easy concept - get all of the NRL clubs to play at one venue over the course of the weekend. Non-stop action, almost no time between games, and fans get their money’s worth every step of the way.\n\nBut it’s not like a Nines tournament, or Rugby Sevens, this is right in the middle of the NRL season where games genuinely mean as much as the week before, or the week after. As a result, there is no gimmicky feeling to the action on the field.\n\nYou also get a chance to see all the best players in the game, in the space of three days. Granted, this year had its fair share of injuries, but being able to see every top-level player go toe-to-toe for three days straight is something you’d never be able to do without a Magic Round. The first six games of Magic Round had winning margins of four, one, four, eight, six, and two - meaning all but the final two matches came down to the wire, giving the fans a reason to stay in their seat for the entire 80 minutes.\n\nCronulla complete the comeback to beat the Sydney Roosters 38-30 and remain top of the NRL ladder!#NRLSharksRoosters pic.twitter.com/igqqK0EHlG

\n\n### 8.\tCROWDS AND STADIUM SECURITY \nI’m yet to hear of any major problems or issues within the Suncorp crowd over Magic Round. With a party atmosphere flying around the weekend, it would make sense for things to get a little out of control at times. But it never came to fruition from what I saw, and instead you had a whole bunch of fans supporting their teams and getting right into the action while enjoying themselves.\n\nClose to 150,000 people attended the event across the three days, averaging 50,000 - meaning the NRL was just 2,500 people shy each day of a complete sellout.\n\nHOW GOOD!@NZWarriors CEO Cameron George crashes the SENZ commentary box at Magic Round 😆#NRLWarriorsPanthers pic.twitter.com/nwqndKIKpp
— SENZ (@SENZ_Radio) May 19, 2024
\n\nThe atmosphere was also aided by stadium security at Suncorp, which is unlike anything I’ve experienced in New Zealand.\n\nNot only is entry and exit into the stadium seamless, but the mandate to let fans enjoy themselves meant no one was being kicked out for having an oversized flag or carrying one too many drinks. No one was blocked from walking to different areas of the stadium, and guess what? Not a single streaker or pitch invader across the entire weekend. \n\n### 9.\tBRISBANE \nThe NRL has got the number one thing right with Magic Round – location. It’s the problem that plagues so many sports whenever they try to put something different on during their seasons.\n\nBrisbane really is a sporting oasis in Australia - they are rabidly passionate about their sport, more so than almost anywhere else in the world I’ve been to.\n\nIt’s the Queensland parochialism that shines through, but it’s also the way they get behind their codes. It’s not just about showing up, it’s about being loud and fanatical and immersing yourself in the occasion.\n\nBrisbane is an amazing city, highlighted with areas like the South Bank, West End, Fortitude Valley, and elevated with a body of water that runs right through the heart of the CBD.\n\nThe weather put on non-stop sun the entire weekend, with temperatures at a perfect 21 degrees. And the best part? If you want to extend the weekend out and make the most of the time off, the Sunshine and Gold Coasts are just short drives away. \n\n### 10.\tTHE MOMENTS\nLast but not least, when it comes down to brass tacks, Magic Round sets the stage for the biggest moments of all.\n\nWhether it was a last-minute field goal for Brisbane to get up over Manly, the Sharks and Roosters going tit for tat as the two in-form teams of the competition, or of course the Warriors tipping up the Panthers for an historic win, Magic Round gives the fans just that – a little bit of magic.\n\nAttendance across the three days of #NRLMagicRound = 149,196 🥳

Much love to Brisbane for your hospitality and putting on such an incredible event for rugby league fans!
\n\nSure, that happens week in week out in the NRL, but as a fan sitting at Suncorp, getting to witness those moments game after game in between all of the partying and festivities, those are the memories you’ll keep with you forever as you fly back home to New Zealand bleary-eyed and in need of a good sleep. It makes the weekend worth it and has you craving it all again in twelve months time.\n\nIf you’re an NRL fan, and you haven’t got Magic Round on your bucket list, get out the pen and paper immediately. Grab a group of mates, start saving up the party funds, book in your flights and accommodation as soon as the schedule is announced, and get yourself over to Brisbane in 2025. You won’t regret it.\n\n \n","date":"2024-05-21T14:00+12:00","author":"Sam Hewat","seoTitle":"Why NRL Magic Round should be on your sporting bucket list for 2025","seoDescription":"Here are 10 reasons why the weekend in Brisbane is everything an NRL fan could hope for.","seoKeywords":"SENZ","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"2JPkEj4SFzM8yLuqMwtm2e","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-21T02:21:52.085Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T02:21:52.085Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Warriors fans at NRL Magic Round 2024","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/2JPkEj4SFzM8yLuqMwtm2e/0caa15a61d5e63b6d654f5d2afd7febd/GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","details":{"size":10531293,"image":{"width":8116,"height":5372}},"fileName":"GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6SF7h865EoQoIM4VQh4j5M","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","updatedAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"New Zealand Warriors","slug":"new-zealand-warriors"}}],"state":["NZ","QLD","NSW"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"o7n7zPKCaRDoXYSdmRExk","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:02.773Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:02.773Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Why Fraser-McGurk and Short were added to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad","slug":"why-fraser-mcgurk-and-short-were-added-to-australias-t20-world-cup-squad","summary":"“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer.”","content":"Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short have been added as travelling reserves to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad, although both won’t play unless there is an injury in the squad. \n\nWith Andrew McDonald and members of his squad set to fly out on Wednesday for the World Cup in the West Indies and the US, the Australian coach joined *SEN’s Whateley* to detail changes to the travelling party. \n\nIn-form opener Fraser-McGurk and BBL star Short have been added to the 15-man squad, with McDonald stating the batters bring different qualities. \n\n“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer. Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round… we have no fears he won’t be fit and fully available.”\n\nAustralia’s first of four group stage games comes against Oman in Barbados on June 6. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:27+10:00","author":"Seb Mottram","seoTitle":"Why Fraser-McGurk and Short were added to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad","seoDescription":"“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer.”","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"70V42gS8r46NT2BWNiOwEq","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:00.291Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:00.291Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"BEST SPLIT IMG (USE THIS) (66)","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/70V42gS8r46NT2BWNiOwEq/d46583b8715e38a31d09c9f9474c552f/BEST_SPLIT_IMG__USE_THIS___66_.jpg","details":{"size":72913,"image":{"width":800,"height":600}},"fileName":"BEST SPLIT IMG (USE THIS) (66).jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5IXQXxtEbYoKg444mq0WeG","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:54.026Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:41:03.145Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Cricket","bgColour":"4fb952","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"cricket","primary":true}},"state":["VIC","SA","TAS","NSW","QLD","WA"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6gf7y5ugw0JURrfdeGvVBB","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:36:42.632Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:36:42.632Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"“They will have to tap some players on the shoulder\": Why Riccio expects a mass player exodus at Parramatta ","slug":"they-will-have-to-tap-some-players-on-the-shoulder-why-riccio-expects-a-mass","summary":"“There will absolutely be changes made to that roster whichever head coach comes into that club.\" ","content":"The Parramatta Eels’ fortunes have gone from bad to worse with *The Daily Telegraph’s* David Riccio forecasting a massive player cleanout following the sacking of coach Brad Arthur. \n\nThe Parramatta board confirmed on Monday that Arthur’s contract had been terminated after 10 full seasons and 264 games at the helm.

10","slug":"what-they-got-right-and-wrong-each-clubs-wins-and-woes-from-round-10","summary":"The positives and negatives from the weekend.","content":"What did your club get right and what did your club get wrong in Round 10?\n\nWe had nine matches across the weekend with some remarkable finishes, some huge spankings and some massive individual performances.\n\nSee our assessments below:\n\n\n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Final term comeback and staying in it all day__\n\nAdelaide never gave in on Saturday at the MCG despite trailing for 109 of 121 minutes.\n\nThey easily could have dropped their head early on, particularly after the Pies skipped out to a 30-point lead in the second term after kicking six goals in a row.\n\nMany other teams, particularly from interstate, would have dropped their bundle in enemy territory against the reigning premiers.\n\nBut not Adelaide. Even though they didn’t win, they gave themselves enough chances to.\n\nThis team still believes their best is good enough to match it with the best, and they’re not wrong.\n\nIt’s one small thing to hang their hat on.\n\n__Getting the ball inside 50__\n\nThe Crows gave their forwards enough opportunities to win Saturday’s game, going inside 50 on 58 occasions to Collingwood’s 49.\n\nIn the final quarter alone, they went in 16 times to Collingwood’s nine. That’s where they really had the chance to win.\n\nLooking at expected score as well, the Crows only were behind 68.3 to 67.6, proving that the result was really a coinflip as the Magpies came up clutch.\n\nOn other occasions, those inside 50s will result in more scores and the Crows will get more reward for their efforts.\n\nIt was a defeat, but one they’ll take a lot of positives from.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Not sending anyone to Daicos in the first half__\n\nAdelaide should never have let Nick Daicos run free for the first half on Saturday.\n\nI mean, he’s a top two or three player in the competition on form and is only building into his season now.\n\nThe Pies superstar had a ridiculous 10 clearances and 24 disposals in the first half alone.\n\nWhile Jordan Dawson sat on him at stoppage in the second half, restricting him somewhat to four clearances and 17 disposals from then on, most of the damage was already done.\n\nWe’re not saying they should have tagged Daicos outright, but he’s one of a couple of players in the league that you need to put time into or else you will bleed.\n\nIn a game that was so tight in the end, it was just about the difference in the result.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Selfless Lions__ \n\nThe Lions shared the ball around at will, given the lack of Richmond pressure that came their way. \n\nThey were able to do as they pleased in and around forward 50, highlighted by Lachie Neale’s remarkable six goal assists.\n\nLogan Morris, Eric Hipwood, Joe Daniher and Jarrod Berry all had two goal assists each and the general finding of a teammate in a better position was evident all night. \n\nDespite two bags of five from Kai Lohmann and Charlie Cameron, their 26 goals were spread across 12 players which is a great sign for Chris Fagan. \n\n__Finishing was on fire__ \n\nBrisbane kicked 26.7 in a damaging display of finishing and accuracy. \n\nBefore Saturday night, the Lions had only kicked more goals than behinds in two matches in 2024. \n\nIt helps when you are afforded so much time and space to be able to conjure constant shots at goal, but they were able to put them away - something that has evaded them for much of the campaign. \n\n__Lohmann breaks out, Ah Chee delivers__ \n\nHe’s been bubbling away with some solid performances in the senior side this year, but Lohmann produced the best game of his career. \n\nLohmann had a nice fill-up with five goals from 14 disposals and seven marks, doing the damage early with a pair of majors in the first term. \n\nIt is normally the usual suspects whenever the Lions have a win, so it was nice to see an emerging player, in just his 18th AFL game, shine so brightly. \n\nCallum Ah Chee also got in on the act again with 19 disposals and 12 marks. \n\nHis hanger in the second quarter was a thing of beauty. \n\n__Relentless and ruthless all night__\n\nThe Lions jumped out of the blocks with seven first-quarter goals to Richmond’s zero.\n\nBut it wasn’t a one off.\n\nThey kept their foot on the throat of the Tigers, piling on six goals in the second, eight in the third and five more in the last. \n\nIt was a relentless and ruthless performance, perhaps the one that will truly kickstart their run towards finals. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Hipwood report and clearance numbers__ \n\nIt’s hard to find any woes in a 119-point win.\n\nThe only negative we can find is the tackle by Eric Hipwood on Nick Vlastuin which led to a one-week suspension (pending any possible Lions appeal). \n\nSomehow they were also beaten in clearances (35-36) and centre clearances (11-16), but obviously those numbers had zero impact on the game. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Zac Williams to half forward__ \n\nZac Williams has mostly struggled to find form in defence this year and has looked half the player he was before the ACL injury.\n\nThe Blues moved Williams to half forward in this one given the mountain of injuries they have to their forwards and he looked good early.\n\nHe was moved around following Jacob Weitering’s injury, but it was a role worth persisting with.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Carlton’s midfield is too slow__ \n\nSydney isn’t the first team to exploit Carlton when they play all of Cripps, Kennedy and Hewett, but it was particularly evident on Friday night.\n\nThe Swans did as they pleased at centre bounces and when the ball went their way, they were off to the races.\n\nCarlton clearly noticed the issue, trying Corey Durdin on-ball at stages, but that’s not the answer either.\n\nThe Blues need more dynamic players in the middle and Elijah Hollands is surely the one to receive a few opportunities in Adam Cerra’s absence. \n\n__Too many forwards don’t touch the footy__ \n\nCorey Durdin and Orazio Fantasia both played full games of footy on Thursday night for a combined 10 disposals, four tackles and 0.1.\n\nTom De Koning also spent 80 per cent of the game forward as Marc Pittonet assumes full control of the ruck – De Koning had six disposals, one mark and didn’t hit the scoreboard.\n\nCarlton needs to revamp their forward mix and needs desperately to hope Lachie Fogarty and Jesse Motlop are available to return this weekend. \n\nThe Blues also should go back to one ruckman and try to get their forward-half pressure game back, given it has dropped away significantly. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Clearance domination and midfield start__\n\nCollingwood’s midfield got the side off to a cracking start on Saturday.\n\nThe Pies kicked eight of the first 11 goals, and that was no doubt thanks to the upper hand they had at the contest.\n\nIn the first quarter alone, the top six ball-winners on the ground were all Magpies, with Nick Daicos (15 disposals), Scott Pendlebury (two goals, 12 disposals) and Jordan De Goey (one goal, 10 touches) doing most of the damage.\n\nGetting so much ball from the centre helped launch Collingwood’s scores as the Crows played catch up for the rest of the game.\n\nEven though the Crows worked back into it, the Pies also won the clearance count 44-36.\n\nIt’s the third week in a row where they’ve really dominated on-ball. If things remain the same, this side will be very hard to beat once talent returns in other areas of the ground.\n\n__Finding enough goalkickers with soldiers going down__\n\nCollingwood was already missing a handful of important forwards on Saturday, and things got worse when Will Hoskin-Elliott (hamstring) and Reef McInnes (concussion) went down with injuries.\n\nSomehow though, the Pies managed to kick a winning score, with nine individual goalkickers chipping in.\n\nOf those players, three were genuine midfielders, while half-back John Noble also got in on the action.\n\nCollingwood share the load as well as any team in the comp and that proved to be the case on Saturday.\n\nIf they can keep doing that while adding the likes of Mihocek, McCreery, Elliott and even McStay back into the team, this offence will go to another level.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Didn’t ever really put the Crows away__\n\nEven though the Magpies got out to a five-goal lead in the second term, they lacked the killer blow to ever put Adelaide away.\n\nThat came back to haunt them in the last quarter as the Crows pressed and even snatched the lead back for a brief moment.\n\nIf they had put the Crows away when they had the chance and cattle available, it never would have been an issue.\n\nWhen you’ve got the momentum, you need to make it count. Things like last week can happen far too easily when the Pies didn’t have a single tall target to kick to in the fourth term at stages, allowing the Crows to lock the ball in their front half.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got (W)right \n\n__Two-metre Peter back in form__ \n\nPeter Wright hadn’t kicked more than two goals since returning from suspension and was coming off a goalless performance against GWS. \n\nHe needed a big game and delivered against North Melbourne in a comfortable 40-point win. Four goals from six shots, as well as 11 hitouts and nine marks is right among the better games he’ll play and inspires confidence for the rest of the season.\n\nWright also enjoyed an equal club-high six inside 50s. Watch out Richmond this week. \n\n__Kept the pressure on__ \n\nThe Bombers had 22 less uncontested possessions than Alastair Clarkson’s North Melbourne but still laid some 56 tackles, 14 more than North Melbourne. \n\nIn a game Essendon was expected to win and win well, effort was clearly still the number one priority, with Brad Scott’s forwards still laying 10 tackles inside 50 to the Roos’ two. \n\nIf the Dons can bring that on a quiet Sunday against North Melbourne, they can do it against the best teams when it counts. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__What happened in the middle?__ \n\nEssendon’s clearance game is the 4th best in the competition, while the Roos rank 13th. \n\nSo for Scott’s midfield to be humbled 28-42, losing both total centre clearances and stoppage clearances, is a surprise. \n\nFor all Richmond’s faults in Round 10, they actually beat Brisbane in the clearance count, adding another fascinating storyline to this Saturday’s Dreamtime. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Jackson one-out in the ruck__ \n\nTeams have found ways to expose Rowan Marshall in recent weeks, with opposition ruckmen putting up big numbers and Luke Jackson was no exception. \n\nHe found 25 disposals, won 39 hit-outs, 10 clearances and laid six tackles. He’s clearly shown his capacity to dominate when given the sole ruck duties.\n\nOf course, Sean Darcy will be needed to spell Jackson and the pair can work together, but it seems clear at this point that the Dockers are at their best with Jackson and Josh Treacy as his backup.\n\n__Midfield mix is working beautifully__ \n\nFremantle smacked St Kilda in the midfield on Saturday night, allowing them to play with a set defence behind them and making it nearly impossible for the Saints to score.\n\nCaleb Serong, Andrew Brayshaw, Hayden Young and Nathan Fyfe as the predominant on-ball quartet was too much for St Kilda to handle, winning the clearances 50-33.\n\nIt’s been their go-to mix all season, with Matthew Johnson the fifth wheel in there and Jaeger O’Meara no longer in there.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Accuracy issues still plague Freo__ \n\nAfter last week’s debacle against the Swans, with the Dockers kicking 4.15, the yips plagued them again against St Kilda.\n\nFreo kicked 4.12 in the second half which ultimately restricted them to just 72 points – a winning score against the Saints but maybe not some other teams. \n\nIt’s one to watch as the season goes on. Jye Amiss the chief offender, kicking 2.5. There are worse problems to have!\n\n*Nic Negrepontis*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Three positional calls__ \n\nMax Holmes to half-back, Gryan Miers playing the connector role and Toby Conway as a full-time ruckman. \n\nOn a disastrous night for the Cats, that trio were clearly Chris Scott’s best players in performing exactly what was hoped. \n\nThe other 19 have got plenty to learn about breaking momentum and playing wet weather footy. \n\nScott’s system also fell apart given Geelong won contest and clearance. Lessons to be taken all round. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Stewart rendered useless again__ \n\nThere are a hundred aspects Geelong got wrong on Thursday, so we won’t harp on here. \n\nBut Round 10 was the second straight game where Tom Stewart again had no impact, despite the footy largely living in Gold Coast’s forward half. \n\nIt’s a hard one to put a finger on. Stewart had 13 intercepts, a clear game-high, but put almost zero pressure on his direct opponent. \n\nHe’s a better player than that and it’s on both Stewart and Scott to get the All-Australian calibre defender back to his impactful best and the Cats not conceding 26 goals. \n\n__Cam Guthrie’s management?__ \n\nIt’s certainly too early to tell, but have the Cats made a mistake getting Cam Guthrie straight back into the senior side? \n\nThe 32-year-old hasn’t dominated in his four games back from injury and on Thursday was subbed off in the third term of the eventual loss with nine touches to his name. \n\nHe wasn’t the only Cat below par. But he’s arguably Geelong’s most important player with Patrick Dangerfield out and a lack of experienced midfielders already and his failure will lead to Geelong’s more often than not. \n\nThe Cats were toothless without Guthrie near his best. \n\n*Seb Mottram*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Midfield dominance__ \n\nYou’ll be hard pressed to find a better performance from two midfielders in the same team in the same win. \n\nNoah Anderson (42 possessions, two goals) and Matt Rowell (35 possessions, eight clearances, 10 tackles) tore the Cats to shred at the contest and were Chris Scott’s biggest headache all night. \n\nThey weren’t up against much, but the Suns will love what they’re seeing from the developing stars. Throw in Ned Moyle’s impressive effort and 32 touches for Touk Miller and you’ve got a complete and utter midfield mauling. \n\n__Good call from Dimma__ \n\nEyebrows were raised when Damien Hardwick rested co-captain Jarrod Witts for the Suns’ biggest game of the year. \n\nBut young ruck Ned Moyle delivered in spades and justified the gutsy call. Moyle had a clear team-high 17 contested possessions and a whopping 42 hitouts, also getting busy to lay five tackles. \n\nAt the very least, Moyle – who is out of contract at the end of 2024 – had just seen his trade value jump. He continues to prove himself at AFL level on the rare occasions he gets a gig.\n\n__Where did King come from?!__ \n\nJust quietly, Ben King is a co-leader of the Coleman Medal! \n\nThe 23-year-old is in a four-way tie for first and plenty of rusted on footy fans would find themselves surprised to see King atop the goal kicking list. \n\nHe flew under the radar again on Thursday. Not his best game, but the key forward found a way to boot four goals in slippery conditions. \n\nHe’s looking a far better player than his twin brother at the current time. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Disappointment in contested footy__ \n\nDespite starring performances in the middle and blistering periods of attack, the Suns weren’t willing to get as busy as their opponents in the heat. \n\nAgainst a Cats lineup lacking plenty, especially through the midfield, the Suns still lost contested footy and clearances. \n\nHardwick’s men rank in the top six for both this year, so perhaps they’re due a mulligan. But don’t let it become the precedent. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Stars played well__\n\nToby Greene, Jesse Hogan, Lachie Whitfield, Harry Himmelberg, Tom Green and Stephen Coniglio and were among the Giants’ very best players.\n\nGreene kicked three goals from 17 touches, Hogan also booted three goals and took seven marks, Whitfield had 31 touches and 761 metres gained, Himmelberg had 30 disposals and 12 marks, Green amassed 29 touches and seven clearances and Conigio had 22 and six tackles. \n\nCal Ward did a great job in restricting Marcus Bontempelli to 10 disposals in the first three quarters which is a very impressive effort. \n\nThe reliable heads just didn’t have enough assistance from the younger and fringe players who had contributed so well in the first handful of games. \n\nIt’s a small win on an otherwise dirty weekend. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Did not play the conditions well__\n\nThe Giants were unable to match the Bulldogs in the wet conditions. \n\nAdam Kingsley lamented the fact that his side was easily beaten at clearances (38-46) and stoppage clearances (28-41).\n\nHe also felt they were not clever enough with the way they attempted to move the ball on a soggy surface. \n\nThey were unable to get their running game up and going which saw them produce just 41 inside 50s, hurting their ability to score.\n\n__Toothless in attack__\n\nGWS kicked 100 or more points in five of its first seven games of 2024.\n\nHave the Giants been worked out since?\n\nKingsley’s side has returned scores of 69, 62 and most recently 43, suggesting they are toothless in attack right now.\n\nToby Greene and Jesse Hogan kicked all six of their goals against the Dogs, highlighting a lack of assistance from those around them.\n\nThe once free-flowing Giants have been curtailed of late which has coincided with three defeats on the trot and four losses in their last five. \n\n__On a side note…__\n\nDid we overplay the Giants’ form earlier in the season?\n\nThey beat a hungover Collingwood side in Opening Round before picking up wins over North Melbourne, West Coast, Gold Coast (in Adelaide) and St Kilda - three of those sides are in the bottom five. \n\nThey did annihilate the Brisbane Lions, but it does seem perhaps their form has been somewhat overrated. \n\nThe Giants have a testing month ahead - Geelong at GMHBA, Hawthorn in Tassie, Port Adelaide and Sydney at home. We will truly know where they are by the completion of Round 15. \n\nKingsley’s side started the season nicely, but they’ve been well below their best over the last month or so. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Had it won (before they lost it)__ \n\nLet’s take the glass half-full approach. For two and a half quarters, the Hawks dominated a club with top-four aspirations on their own deck. \n\nClearances, contested footy, territory you name it, Hawthorn had it. That’s no mean feat and even though the Hawks lost, it’s a far better performance than most believed they could produce. \n\nSam Mitchell is the coach that’s touted to be, take nothing away from that. \n\n__Blake bloody Hardwick__ \n\nIf you had Blake Hardwick to kick four goals in the opening quarter, hats off. \n\nGiven he’d only kicked one goal since Round 5, the performance he put forward on Sunday afternoon at a roaring Adelaide Oval certainly came as a surprise. \n\nHe finished with five majors, 23 touches and two direct goal assists as the Hawks opened up a decent gap. \n\nIf Mitchell had his time again, you’d expect him to keep Hardwick – typically a small defender – ahead of the footy instead of throwing him down back late. \n\nBut alas, giving Hardwick the license to roam inside 50 gave Hawthorn a great shot. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__The entire last quarter__ \n\nMake no mistake, this game wasn’t only lost in the last 30 seconds. \n\nHawthorn went back into its shell for the entire last term, registering only four inside 50s for the quarter. Playing that brand of footy is asking to have your 28-point margin cut into and that’s exactly what happened. \n\nThere was no forward structure, and Hardwick – his side’s primary hope ahead of the ball – found himself deep in defence alongside Will Day, the Hawks’ best midfielder on the day. \n\nA lack of intent crucified the Hawks and Mitchell paid the price. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Won the ball at the source__\n\nDespite the 35-point loss, Melbourne did win the ball at the source.\n\nThe Demons beat the Eagles 41-36 at clearance thanks to a 28-21 stoppage clearance superiority.\n\nClayton Oliver had nine clearances, Max Gawn had six, and Jack Viney and Christian Petracca had five each. The usual suspects dd the job around the ball, but it fell over post clearance. \n\nAlthough they did the win the first ball more often than not, the Dees had their game taken away from them by the more desperate and hungrier Eagles. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Untidy by foot and blunt in attack__\n\nThe Demons struggled to conjure meaningful inside 50s across the course of the contest. \n\nYes, West Coast’s pressure was high, but the Dees were simply unable to use the ball effectively enough.\n\nTheir disposal efficiency was less than 67 per cent and they could only managed 36 inside 50s - their lowest return of the season so far. \n\nThose numbers simply did not give their forwards enough opportunity to score.\n\nAfter gaining the ascendency in the third term with a positive inside 50 count (+4), the Demons shot themselves in the foot by kicking 3.7, while the Eagles kicked 5.0.\n\n__Conceded 100+ in rare occurrence__ \n\nThe Demons conceded over 100 points for the first time this year and just the third time in a season and a half.\n\nThe 105 points kicked by the Eagles was the first time Simon Goodwin’s backline has been properly breached in 2024.\n\nA lot of that had to do with the fact that Jake Lever went off concussed in the first quarter which derailed and disorganised their defence. \n\n__Missed the chance to go third__\n\nA win would have put the Dees into third position.\n\nPlaying the last fixture of Round 10, they knew that four points would have placed them behind only Sydney and Essendon.\n\nBut they couldn’t get the job done and now sit in the middle of the pack with five other clubs on 24 points.\n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Davies-Uniacke is back__ \n\nIt hasn’t been a great season to date for LDU, but his performance against Essendon on the weekend was one of his career best.\n\nThe midfielder was the number one rated player on the ground, well clear of the next highest (Dyson Heppell), per Wheelo Ratings.\n\nHe won seven clearances, kicked two goals and had 27 disposals, but looked his explosive best.\n\n__Harry Sheezel’s best game as a midfielder__ \n\nIt’s taken Sheezel a few weeks to find his feet as an on-baller, but he really delivered on Sunday afternoon.\n\nHe found 32 disposals – back to his usual prolific nature – two goal assists, eight score involvements, six inside 50s and nine marks. \n\nIt’s a good sign for the Roos, particularly given the issues they’ve had in the midfield generally this season. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Second half wobbles__ \n\nThe second half on Sunday was hugely disappointing given the Roos were right in this game.\n\nThey went into the half-time break down seven points having traded blows and kept pace with the Bombers.\n\nFrom there, they conceded 9.5 and only managed four goals themselves, and were blown out in the fourth term. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Huge comeback__\n\nPort Adelaide were 41 points down 23 minutes into the third term on Sunday.\n\nThe likelihood of winning from there could have only been a couple of per cent, but they got there.\n\nThis team absolutely believes that 30 minutes of good footy can get them over the top of anyone, that’s how good they are once they click into top gear.\n\nUnfortunately for Hawthorn, that happened late at the Adelaide Oval as the Power kicked the final six goals to win in ridiculous fashion.\n\nThat comeback was led by Zak Butters, who collected a ridiculous 17 disposals in the last term alone.\n\nThey can thank him for securing the four points in this one.\n\n__The final minute__\n\nWith 35 seconds left, Port Adelaide were down by 11 points.\n\nLiterally EVERYTHING had to go right from there to win, and somehow it did.\n\nFirstly, Willie Rioli nailed a long set shot from a free kick. He also went back and kicked it as quickly as he possibly could to make sure time didn’t roll off the clock.\n\nAfter that, the Power had 22 seconds to find one more goal. \n\nWith the ball at a centre stoppage, Willem Drew farmed the ball out to Zak Butters who launched it forward.\n\nA contest ensued 30 metres out from goal directly in front. After the ball spilled out to a Hawthorn player, the ball sat on the ground for Darcy Byrne-Jones to soccer … the rest is history.\n\nIt was as perfect as the Power could have hoped for things to go in those dying moments.\n\nThey knew exactly what they had to do and executed perfectly.\n\nHats off to Ken Hinkley and the coaching staff, as well as the players for clicking into an all-out attack mentality to grab the win.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Sluggish start__\n\nPort Adelaide were incredibly slow out of the blocks on Sunday.\n\nThe Power allowed the Hawks to kick seven of the first eight goals, an incredibly disappointing effort given Hawthorn is a rebuilding side without some of their best players.\n\nEven though they were able to rope them back late and get over the line, they won’t want to give up that kind of start against any kind of finals contender.\n\nIf they do, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll be able to get back into it.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got \n\n__Youngsters got valuable minutes__ \n\nRichmond had 11 players with less than 40 games of experience.\n\nIt certainly was a proper footballing lesson that they received, which hopefully they’ll take plenty away from.\n\nKane McAuliffe played well in his third game, picking up 20 disposals and laying five tackles \n\nThe Tigers also managed to win clearances and centre clearances. But that was about the only stat line they won, and clearly had no bearing on the outcome. \n\nThere wasn’t much else to write home about. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Questionable effort and intent__ \n\nIt’s hard to pinpoint one exact area where the Tigers are being brushed aside.\n\nOne thing that has been alarming is the lack of pressure around the ball.\n\nThe Lions, despite losing clearances, just moved the ball so easily around the Gabba - and it made Adem Yze’s side look silly at times.\n\nRichmond’s drop-off in effort and intent over the last two weeks has been surprising, seeing as it was keeping them competitive in most games prior. \n\n__Somehow more injuries__\n\nThe amount of injuries Richmond has copped in 2024 is astounding. \n\nThey entered the Lions fixture with 15 players on the injury list. Mykelti Lefau hurt his jaw (thankfully it is not broken) and Rhyan Mansell was concussed during the game which did not help the cause. \n\nUnfortunately, ruckman Sam Naismith went down with another ACL injury in the VFL on Sunday, further compounding the club’s personnel issues. \n\nIt’s been a season of hell on the injury front at Punt Road. \n\n__Can’t score, can’t defend__\n\nThe Tigers’ lack of scoring ability has been one area that has plagued them in 2024.\n\nThey have scored just 622 points in 10 games at an average of 62.2 which is the lowest in the league. \n\nThey have failed to kick 50 points in each of the last four games.\n\nRichmond’s defence is also a glaring issue. They’ve conceded 1044 points at an average of 104.4 points per game. Only North Melbourne has conceded more points. \n\nIt’s time for Adem Yze to get tough with the playing group to avoid this season being even more of a disaster than it already is. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__The Swans have unearthed another tagger__ \n\nThe Sydney Swans have had a knack of uncovering undervalued role players and transforming them into the best tagger in the game. In 2022, it was Ryan Clarke who was tasked with shutting the opposition's most damaging player to great effect. \n\nThis year, it’s new recruit James Jordon who added Sam Walsh to his growing list of scalps. Walsh was unable find any rhythm or space in his game as he was held to 20 disposals (27.2 season average), three clearances (3.9), four score involvements (7.3) and one goal at 55% disposal efficiency (64.2%). \n\nJordon was able to find plenty of ball himself in the meantime with 16 touches, six tackles, three clearances, six score involvements and a goal. After shutting down Jordan Clark at Fremantle and Lachie Whitfield at the Giants, the Western Bulldogs will face a nervous wait to see who his next target will be. \n\n__The Chad lights it up for Marngrook__ \n\nChad Warner tore Carlton to shreds on Friday night with one of the best individual performances of the season to take home the player of the match award. Warmer amassed a team-high 28 disposals, 14 score involvements, 10 marks, 10 contested possessions, 721 metres gained and 3.2. \n\n__Running power overwhelms Carlton__ \n\nCarlton had no answer for the running speed and attacking play from the Swans whose midfielders and half back line ran circles around Michael Voss’ men. Sydney’s 23 players gained 6,158 metres compared to Calrton’s 5,621. \n\nThe Swans recorded a remarkable 17 running bounces on Friday night including nine alone from Chad Warner. There is no shame in Carlton being unable to contain the Swans’ run and carry with Sydney having the second most running bounces in the competition with 84. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__A concerning slow start __\n\nThe Swans found themselves 26 points behind midway through the first term and it could’ve been far worse if Harry McKay hadn’t missed from straight in front. Whilst the Swans went on to kick 13 of the 14 goals, John Longmire and the Swans should not sweep the slow start under the rug. \n\n*Charles Goodsir* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Josh Battle continues to shine in a contract year__\n\nSt Kilda will clearly be hoping to lock defender Josh Battle in long term as he remains a sturdy part of the defensive structures.\n\nBattle took 12 marks to go with 17 disposals in the loss to Freo, and is putting together an incredibly strong month. \n\nThings are going wrong for the Saints generally, but Battle has certainly carrying his load. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__St Kilda’s forward line is toothless__ \n\nMattaes Phillipou – four disposals, one goal – can’t find the footy.\n\nMax King – 10 disposals, goalless – is shockingly out of form. \n\nLiam Henry has been slow in re-integrating post injury, Lance Collard can’t be expected to find much of the footy and Anthony Caminiti comes in and kicks two goals, but likely makes way again for Tim Membrey.\n\nMitchito Owens kicks three, but only has eight disposals? How does that happen? \n\nSt Kilda needs to drastically adjust what they’re doing inside 50 and get these top-end players involved. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Harley Reid… again.__\n\nThe scariest part of Harley Reid’s ascendance is that this is likely the worst he is going to be in his career.\n\nThe young Eagle was absolutely electric against the Demons, dominating for stretches at a time and putting together a single-game highlight reel that would rival many players’ career highlights.\n\nReid has singlehandedly revitalised the entirety of West Coast, and the direst situation in the AFL has suddenly become full of optimism.\n\n__Jake Waterman is unstoppable__\n\nOn current form, there is arguably no better forward in the AFL than Jake Waterman.\n\nThat is not a sentence that many would have expected to exist coming into the season.\n\nAfter another bag of five against Melbourne, Waterman moves into equal-first in the Coleman race with 29 goals, with 23 of those coming in the last five games.\n\nWhile he is undoubtedly riding an unbelievable hot streak, the forward is playing a brand of footy that could conceivably span through the entire season, dominating aerial contests regardless of opponent.\n\nIt will be fascinating to see how Adam Simpson balances the forward line once Oscar Allen returns, as the right combination could suddenly make the Eagles’ attack look very scary.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Not slamming the door early__\n\nIt’s hard to nitpick a comprehensive victory over a premiership contender, other than the fact that it should have been even more comprehensive.\n\nThe Eagles led the Demons by 13 points going into the main break, despite having eight more scoring shots in the first half.\n\nWest Coast’s inaccuracy kept Melbourne in the game early on, and if they had kicked 10.5 rather than 7.8 in that opening half they could have completely slammed the door.\n\nOtherwise, it was a completely dominant display from the Eagles, with the 35-point margin arguably flattering the Demons.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n\n\n__Dominance everywhere but the scoreboard__\n\nIn almost every single facet of the game, this had the makings of a comfortable thrashing.\n\nThe Bulldogs easily came out on top in the clearance game, contested possessions and inside 50 count, all while forcing the Giants to play an unfamiliar, slow brand of football with a strong defensive structure.\n\nIt was the kind of performance that answered the bulk of concerns that had been levelled at the Bulldogs all season long and reaffirms their case for finals just weeks after they seemed out of reach.\n\nWith a tough stretch ahead of them, including games against the Swans and Magpies in back-to-back weeks, it’s time for the Bulldogs to prove that this display against GWS wasn’t an aberration.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Kicking accuracy__\n\nEven considering the slippery conditions, this was one of the worst goalkicking performances of the season.\n\nThe Bulldogs racked up a monstrous 30 scoring shots, 17 more than the Giants, and only managed a 27-point victory.\n\nA scoreline of 8.22, highlighted by a goalless opening term is simply unacceptable for any AFL team, let alone a Dogs side that is now back in the thick of the finals hunt.\n\nExpect plenty of kicking drills to be on the agenda down at Whitten Oval this week.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n[](https://www.sen.com.au/app/)","date":"2024-05-20T16:05+10:00","author":"SEN","seoTitle":"What they got right and wrong: Each club’s wins

they got right and wrong: Each club’s wins and woes from Round 10","slug":"what-they-got-right-and-wrong-each-clubs-wins-and-woes-from-round-10","summary":"The positives and negatives from the weekend.","content":"What did your club get right and what did your club get wrong in Round 10?\n\nWe had nine matches across the weekend with some remarkable finishes, some huge spankings and some massive individual performances.\n\nSee our assessments below:\n\n\n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Final term comeback and staying in it all day__\n\nAdelaide never gave in on Saturday at the MCG despite trailing for 109 of 121 minutes.\n\nThey easily could have dropped their head early on, particularly after the Pies skipped out to a 30-point lead in the second term after kicking six goals in a row.\n\nMany other teams, particularly from interstate, would have dropped their bundle in enemy territory against the reigning premiers.\n\nBut not Adelaide. Even though they didn’t win, they gave themselves enough chances to.\n\nThis team still believes their best is good enough to match it with the best, and they’re not wrong.\n\nIt’s one small thing to hang their hat on.\n\n__Getting the ball inside 50__\n\nThe Crows gave their forwards enough opportunities to win Saturday’s game, going inside 50 on 58 occasions to Collingwood’s 49.\n\nIn the final quarter alone, they went in 16 times to Collingwood’s nine. That’s where they really had the chance to win.\n\nLooking at expected score as well, the Crows only were behind 68.3 to 67.6, proving that the result was really a coinflip as the Magpies came up clutch.\n\nOn other occasions, those inside 50s will result in more scores and the Crows will get more reward for their efforts.\n\nIt was a defeat, but one they’ll take a lot of positives from.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Not sending anyone to Daicos in the first half__\n\nAdelaide should never have let Nick Daicos run free for the first half on Saturday.\n\nI mean, he’s a top two or three player in the competition on form and is only building into his season now.\n\nThe Pies superstar had a ridiculous 10 clearances and 24 disposals in the first half alone.\n\nWhile Jordan Dawson sat on him at stoppage in the second half, restricting him somewhat to four clearances and 17 disposals from then on, most of the damage was already done.\n\nWe’re not saying they should have tagged Daicos outright, but he’s one of a couple of players in the league that you need to put time into or else you will bleed.\n\nIn a game that was so tight in the end, it was just about the difference in the result.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Selfless Lions__ \n\nThe Lions shared the ball around at will, given the lack of Richmond pressure that came their way. \n\nThey were able to do as they pleased in and around forward 50, highlighted by Lachie Neale’s remarkable six goal assists.\n\nLogan Morris, Eric Hipwood, Joe Daniher and Jarrod Berry all had two goal assists each and the general finding of a teammate in a better position was evident all night. \n\nDespite two bags of five from Kai Lohmann and Charlie Cameron, their 26 goals were spread across 12 players which is a great sign for Chris Fagan. \n\n__Finishing was on fire__ \n\nBrisbane kicked 26.7 in a damaging display of finishing and accuracy. \n\nBefore Saturday night, the Lions had only kicked more goals than behinds in two matches in 2024. \n\nIt helps when you are afforded so much time and space to be able to conjure constant shots at goal, but they were able to put them away - something that has evaded them for much of the campaign. \n\n__Lohmann breaks out, Ah Chee delivers__ \n\nHe’s been bubbling away with some solid performances in the senior side this year, but Lohmann produced the best game of his career. \n\nLohmann had a nice fill-up with five goals from 14 disposals and seven marks, doing the damage early with a pair of majors in the first term. \n\nIt is normally the usual suspects whenever the Lions have a win, so it was nice to see an emerging player, in just his 18th AFL game, shine so brightly. \n\nCallum Ah Chee also got in on the act again with 19 disposals and 12 marks. \n\nHis hanger in the second quarter was a thing of beauty. \n\n__Relentless and ruthless all night__\n\nThe Lions jumped out of the blocks with seven first-quarter goals to Richmond’s zero.\n\nBut it wasn’t a one off.\n\nThey kept their foot on the throat of the Tigers, piling on six goals in the second, eight in the third and five more in the last. \n\nIt was a relentless and ruthless performance, perhaps the one that will truly kickstart their run towards finals. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Hipwood report and clearance numbers__ \n\nIt’s hard to find any woes in a 119-point win.\n\nThe only negative we can find is the tackle by Eric Hipwood on Nick Vlastuin which led to a one-week suspension (pending any possible Lions appeal). \n\nSomehow they were also beaten in clearances (35-36) and centre clearances (11-16), but obviously those numbers had zero impact on the game. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Zac Williams to half forward__ \n\nZac Williams has mostly struggled to find form in defence this year and has looked half the player he was before the ACL injury.\n\nThe Blues moved Williams to half forward in this one given the mountain of injuries they have to their forwards and he looked good early.\n\nHe was moved around following Jacob Weitering’s injury, but it was a role worth persisting with.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Carlton’s midfield is too slow__ \n\nSydney isn’t the first team to exploit Carlton when they play all of Cripps, Kennedy and Hewett, but it was particularly evident on Friday night.\n\nThe Swans did as they pleased at centre bounces and when the ball went their way, they were off to the races.\n\nCarlton clearly noticed the issue, trying Corey Durdin on-ball at stages, but that’s not the answer either.\n\nThe Blues need more dynamic players in the middle and Elijah Hollands is surely the one to receive a few opportunities in Adam Cerra’s absence. \n\n__Too many forwards don’t touch the footy__ \n\nCorey Durdin and Orazio Fantasia both played full games of footy on Thursday night for a combined 10 disposals, four tackles and 0.1.\n\nTom De Koning also spent 80 per cent of the game forward as Marc Pittonet assumes full control of the ruck – De Koning had six disposals, one mark and didn’t hit the scoreboard.\n\nCarlton needs to revamp their forward mix and needs desperately to hope Lachie Fogarty and Jesse Motlop are available to return this weekend. \n\nThe Blues also should go back to one ruckman and try to get their forward-half pressure game back, given it has dropped away significantly. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Clearance domination and midfield start__\n\nCollingwood’s midfield got the side off to a cracking start on Saturday.\n\nThe Pies kicked eight of the first 11 goals, and that was no doubt thanks to the upper hand they had at the contest.\n\nIn the first quarter alone, the top six ball-winners on the ground were all Magpies, with Nick Daicos (15 disposals), Scott Pendlebury (two goals, 12 disposals) and Jordan De Goey (one goal, 10 touches) doing most of the damage.\n\nGetting so much ball from the centre helped launch Collingwood’s scores as the Crows played catch up for the rest of the game.\n\nEven though the Crows worked back into it, the Pies also won the clearance count 44-36.\n\nIt’s the third week in a row where they’ve really dominated on-ball. If things remain the same, this side will be very hard to beat once talent returns in other areas of the ground.\n\n__Finding enough goalkickers with soldiers going down__\n\nCollingwood was already missing a handful of important forwards on Saturday, and things got worse when Will Hoskin-Elliott (hamstring) and Reef McInnes (concussion) went down with injuries.\n\nSomehow though, the Pies managed to kick a winning score, with nine individual goalkickers chipping in.\n\nOf those players, three were genuine midfielders, while half-back John Noble also got in on the action.\n\nCollingwood share the load as well as any team in the comp and that proved to be the case on Saturday.\n\nIf they can keep doing that while adding the likes of Mihocek, McCreery, Elliott and even McStay back into the team, this offence will go to another level.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Didn’t ever really put the Crows away__\n\nEven though the Magpies got out to a five-goal lead in the second term, they lacked the killer blow to ever put Adelaide away.\n\nThat came back to haunt them in the last quarter as the Crows pressed and even snatched the lead back for a brief moment.\n\nIf they had put the Crows away when they had the chance and cattle available, it never would have been an issue.\n\nWhen you’ve got the momentum, you need to make it count. Things like last week can happen far too easily when the Pies didn’t have a single tall target to kick to in the fourth term at stages, allowing the Crows to lock the ball in their front half.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got (W)right \n\n__Two-metre Peter back in form__ \n\nPeter Wright hadn’t kicked more than two goals since returning from suspension and was coming off a goalless performance against GWS. \n\nHe needed a big game and delivered against North Melbourne in a comfortable 40-point win. Four goals from six shots, as well as 11 hitouts and nine marks is right among the better games he’ll play and inspires confidence for the rest of the season.\n\nWright also enjoyed an equal club-high six inside 50s. Watch out Richmond this week. \n\n__Kept the pressure on__ \n\nThe Bombers had 22 less uncontested possessions than Alastair Clarkson’s North Melbourne but still laid some 56 tackles, 14 more than North Melbourne. \n\nIn a game Essendon was expected to win and win well, effort was clearly still the number one priority, with Brad Scott’s forwards still laying 10 tackles inside 50 to the Roos’ two. \n\nIf the Dons can bring that on a quiet Sunday against North Melbourne, they can do it against the best teams when it counts. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__What happened in the middle?__ \n\nEssendon’s clearance game is the 4th best in the competition, while the Roos rank 13th. \n\nSo for Scott’s midfield to be humbled 28-42, losing both total centre clearances and stoppage clearances, is a surprise. \n\nFor all Richmond’s faults in Round 10, they actually beat Brisbane in the clearance count, adding another fascinating storyline to this Saturday’s Dreamtime. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Jackson one-out in the ruck__ \n\nTeams have found ways to expose Rowan Marshall in recent weeks, with opposition ruckmen putting up big numbers and Luke Jackson was no exception. \n\nHe found 25 disposals, won 39 hit-outs, 10 clearances and laid six tackles. He’s clearly shown his capacity to dominate when given the sole ruck duties.\n\nOf course, Sean Darcy will be needed to spell Jackson and the pair can work together, but it seems clear at this point that the Dockers are at their best with Jackson and Josh Treacy as his backup.\n\n__Midfield mix is working beautifully__ \n\nFremantle smacked St Kilda in the midfield on Saturday night, allowing them to play with a set defence behind them and making it nearly impossible for the Saints to score.\n\nCaleb Serong, Andrew Brayshaw, Hayden Young and Nathan Fyfe as the predominant on-ball quartet was too much for St Kilda to handle, winning the clearances 50-33.\n\nIt’s been their go-to mix all season, with Matthew Johnson the fifth wheel in there and Jaeger O’Meara no longer in there.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Accuracy issues still plague Freo__ \n\nAfter last week’s debacle against the Swans, with the Dockers kicking 4.15, the yips plagued them again against St Kilda.\n\nFreo kicked 4.12 in the second half which ultimately restricted them to just 72 points – a winning score against the Saints but maybe not some other teams. \n\nIt’s one to watch as the season goes on. Jye Amiss the chief offender, kicking 2.5. There are worse problems to have!\n\n*Nic Negrepontis*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Three positional calls__ \n\nMax Holmes to half-back, Gryan Miers playing the connector role and Toby Conway as a full-time ruckman. \n\nOn a disastrous night for the Cats, that trio were clearly Chris Scott’s best players in performing exactly what was hoped. \n\nThe other 19 have got plenty to learn about breaking momentum and playing wet weather footy. \n\nScott’s system also fell apart given Geelong won contest and clearance. Lessons to be taken all round. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Stewart rendered useless again__ \n\nThere are a hundred aspects Geelong got wrong on Thursday, so we won’t harp on here. \n\nBut Round 10 was the second straight game where Tom Stewart again had no impact, despite the footy largely living in Gold Coast’s forward half. \n\nIt’s a hard one to put a finger on. Stewart had 13 intercepts, a clear game-high, but put almost zero pressure on his direct opponent. \n\nHe’s a better player than that and it’s on both Stewart and Scott to get the All-Australian calibre defender back to his impactful best and the Cats not conceding 26 goals. \n\n__Cam Guthrie’s management?__ \n\nIt’s certainly too early to tell, but have the Cats made a mistake getting Cam Guthrie straight back into the senior side? \n\nThe 32-year-old hasn’t dominated in his four games back from injury and on Thursday was subbed off in the third term of the eventual loss with nine touches to his name. \n\nHe wasn’t the only Cat below par. But he’s arguably Geelong’s most important player with Patrick Dangerfield out and a lack of experienced midfielders already and his failure will lead to Geelong’s more often than not. \n\nThe Cats were toothless without Guthrie near his best. \n\n*Seb Mottram*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Midfield dominance__ \n\nYou’ll be hard pressed to find a better performance from two midfielders in the same team in the same win. \n\nNoah Anderson (42 possessions, two goals) and Matt Rowell (35 possessions, eight clearances, 10 tackles) tore the Cats to shred at the contest and were Chris Scott’s biggest headache all night. \n\nThey weren’t up against much, but the Suns will love what they’re seeing from the developing stars. Throw in Ned Moyle’s impressive effort and 32 touches for Touk Miller and you’ve got a complete and utter midfield mauling. \n\n__Good call from Dimma__ \n\nEyebrows were raised when Damien Hardwick rested co-captain Jarrod Witts for the Suns’ biggest game of the year. \n\nBut young ruck Ned Moyle delivered in spades and justified the gutsy call. Moyle had a clear team-high 17 contested possessions and a whopping 42 hitouts, also getting busy to lay five tackles. \n\nAt the very least, Moyle – who is out of contract at the end of 2024 – had just seen his trade value jump. He continues to prove himself at AFL level on the rare occasions he gets a gig.\n\n__Where did King come from?!__ \n\nJust quietly, Ben King is a co-leader of the Coleman Medal! \n\nThe 23-year-old is in a four-way tie for first and plenty of rusted on footy fans would find themselves surprised to see King atop the goal kicking list. \n\nHe flew under the radar again on Thursday. Not his best game, but the key forward found a way to boot four goals in slippery conditions. \n\nHe’s looking a far better player than his twin brother at the current time. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Disappointment in contested footy__ \n\nDespite starring performances in the middle and blistering periods of attack, the Suns weren’t willing to get as busy as their opponents in the heat. \n\nAgainst a Cats lineup lacking plenty, especially through the midfield, the Suns still lost contested footy and clearances. \n\nHardwick’s men rank in the top six for both this year, so perhaps they’re due a mulligan. But don’t let it become the precedent. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Stars played well__\n\nToby Greene, Jesse Hogan, Lachie Whitfield, Harry Himmelberg, Tom Green and Stephen Coniglio and were among the Giants’ very best players.\n\nGreene kicked three goals from 17 touches, Hogan also booted three goals and took seven marks, Whitfield had 31 touches and 761 metres gained, Himmelberg had 30 disposals and 12 marks, Green amassed 29 touches and seven clearances and Conigio had 22 and six tackles. \n\nCal Ward did a great job in restricting Marcus Bontempelli to 10 disposals in the first three quarters which is a very impressive effort. \n\nThe reliable heads just didn’t have enough assistance from the younger and fringe players who had contributed so well in the first handful of games. \n\nIt’s a small win on an otherwise dirty weekend. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Did not play the conditions well__\n\nThe Giants were unable to match the Bulldogs in the wet conditions. \n\nAdam Kingsley lamented the fact that his side was easily beaten at clearances (38-46) and stoppage clearances (28-41).\n\nHe also felt they were not clever enough with the way they attempted to move the ball on a soggy surface. \n\nThey were unable to get their running game up and going which saw them produce just 41 inside 50s, hurting their ability to score.\n\n__Toothless in attack__\n\nGWS kicked 100 or more points in five of its first seven games of 2024.\n\nHave the Giants been worked out since?\n\nKingsley’s side has returned scores of 69, 62 and most recently 43, suggesting they are toothless in attack right now.\n\nToby Greene and Jesse Hogan kicked all six of their goals against the Dogs, highlighting a lack of assistance from those around them.\n\nThe once free-flowing Giants have been curtailed of late which has coincided with three defeats on the trot and four losses in their last five. \n\n__On a side note…__\n\nDid we overplay the Giants’ form earlier in the season?\n\nThey beat a hungover Collingwood side in Opening Round before picking up wins over North Melbourne, West Coast, Gold Coast (in Adelaide) and St Kilda - three of those sides are in the bottom five. \n\nThey did annihilate the Brisbane Lions, but it does seem perhaps their form has been somewhat overrated. \n\nThe Giants have a testing month ahead - Geelong at GMHBA, Hawthorn in Tassie, Port Adelaide and Sydney at home. We will truly know where they are by the completion of Round 15. \n\nKingsley’s side started the season nicely, but they’ve been well below their best over the last month or so. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Had it won (before they lost it)__ \n\nLet’s take the glass half-full approach. For two and a half quarters, the Hawks dominated a club with top-four aspirations on their own deck. \n\nClearances, contested footy, territory you name it, Hawthorn had it. That’s no mean feat and even though the Hawks lost, it’s a far better performance than most believed they could produce. \n\nSam Mitchell is the coach that’s touted to be, take nothing away from that. \n\n__Blake bloody Hardwick__ \n\nIf you had Blake Hardwick to kick four goals in the opening quarter, hats off. \n\nGiven he’d only kicked one goal since Round 5, the performance he put forward on Sunday afternoon at a roaring Adelaide Oval certainly came as a surprise. \n\nHe finished with five majors, 23 touches and two direct goal assists as the Hawks opened up a decent gap. \n\nIf Mitchell had his time again, you’d expect him to keep Hardwick – typically a small defender – ahead of the footy instead of throwing him down back late. \n\nBut alas, giving Hardwick the license to roam inside 50 gave Hawthorn a great shot. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__The entire last quarter__ \n\nMake no mistake, this game wasn’t only lost in the last 30 seconds. \n\nHawthorn went back into its shell for the entire last term, registering only four inside 50s for the quarter. Playing that brand of footy is asking to have your 28-point margin cut into and that’s exactly what happened. \n\nThere was no forward structure, and Hardwick – his side’s primary hope ahead of the ball – found himself deep in defence alongside Will Day, the Hawks’ best midfielder on the day. \n\nA lack of intent crucified the Hawks and Mitchell paid the price. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Won the ball at the source__\n\nDespite the 35-point loss, Melbourne did win the ball at the source.\n\nThe Demons beat the Eagles 41-36 at clearance thanks to a 28-21 stoppage clearance superiority.\n\nClayton Oliver had nine clearances, Max Gawn had six, and Jack Viney and Christian Petracca had five each. The usual suspects dd the job around the ball, but it fell over post clearance. \n\nAlthough they did the win the first ball more often than not, the Dees had their game taken away from them by the more desperate and hungrier Eagles. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Untidy by foot and blunt in attack__\n\nThe Demons struggled to conjure meaningful inside 50s across the course of the contest. \n\nYes, West Coast’s pressure was high, but the Dees were simply unable to use the ball effectively enough.\n\nTheir disposal efficiency was less than 67 per cent and they could only managed 36 inside 50s - their lowest return of the season so far. \n\nThose numbers simply did not give their forwards enough opportunity to score.\n\nAfter gaining the ascendency in the third term with a positive inside 50 count (+4), the Demons shot themselves in the foot by kicking 3.7, while the Eagles kicked 5.0.\n\n__Conceded 100+ in rare occurrence__ \n\nThe Demons conceded over 100 points for the first time this year and just the third time in a season and a half.\n\nThe 105 points kicked by the Eagles was the first time Simon Goodwin’s backline has been properly breached in 2024.\n\nA lot of that had to do with the fact that Jake Lever went off concussed in the first quarter which derailed and disorganised their defence. \n\n__Missed the chance to go third__\n\nA win would have put the Dees into third position.\n\nPlaying the last fixture of Round 10, they knew that four points would have placed them behind only Sydney and Essendon.\n\nBut they couldn’t get the job done and now sit in the middle of the pack with five other clubs on 24 points.\n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Davies-Uniacke is back__ \n\nIt hasn’t been a great season to date for LDU, but his performance against Essendon on the weekend was one of his career best.\n\nThe midfielder was the number one rated player on the ground, well clear of the next highest (Dyson Heppell), per Wheelo Ratings.\n\nHe won seven clearances, kicked two goals and had 27 disposals, but looked his explosive best.\n\n__Harry Sheezel’s best game as a midfielder__ \n\nIt’s taken Sheezel a few weeks to find his feet as an on-baller, but he really delivered on Sunday afternoon.\n\nHe found 32 disposals – back to his usual prolific nature – two goal assists, eight score involvements, six inside 50s and nine marks. \n\nIt’s a good sign for the Roos, particularly given the issues they’ve had in the midfield generally this season. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Second half wobbles__ \n\nThe second half on Sunday was hugely disappointing given the Roos were right in this game.\n\nThey went into the half-time break down seven points having traded blows and kept pace with the Bombers.\n\nFrom there, they conceded 9.5 and only managed four goals themselves, and were blown out in the fourth term. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Huge comeback__\n\nPort Adelaide were 41 points down 23 minutes into the third term on Sunday.\n\nThe likelihood of winning from there could have only been a couple of per cent, but they got there.\n\nThis team absolutely believes that 30 minutes of good footy can get them over the top of anyone, that’s how good they are once they click into top gear.\n\nUnfortunately for Hawthorn, that happened late at the Adelaide Oval as the Power kicked the final six goals to win in ridiculous fashion.\n\nThat comeback was led by Zak Butters, who collected a ridiculous 17 disposals in the last term alone.\n\nThey can thank him for securing the four points in this one.\n\n__The final minute__\n\nWith 35 seconds left, Port Adelaide were down by 11 points.\n\nLiterally EVERYTHING had to go right from there to win, and somehow it did.\n\nFirstly, Willie Rioli nailed a long set shot from a free kick. He also went back and kicked it as quickly as he possibly could to make sure time didn’t roll off the clock.\n\nAfter that, the Power had 22 seconds to find one more goal. \n\nWith the ball at a centre stoppage, Willem Drew farmed the ball out to Zak Butters who launched it forward.\n\nA contest ensued 30 metres out from goal directly in front. After the ball spilled out to a Hawthorn player, the ball sat on the ground for Darcy Byrne-Jones to soccer … the rest is history.\n\nIt was as perfect as the Power could have hoped for things to go in those dying moments.\n\nThey knew exactly what they had to do and executed perfectly.\n\nHats off to Ken Hinkley and the coaching staff, as well as the players for clicking into an all-out attack mentality to grab the win.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Sluggish start__\n\nPort Adelaide were incredibly slow out of the blocks on Sunday.\n\nThe Power allowed the Hawks to kick seven of the first eight goals, an incredibly disappointing effort given Hawthorn is a rebuilding side without some of their best players.\n\nEven though they were able to rope them back late and get over the line, they won’t want to give up that kind of start against any kind of finals contender.\n\nIf they do, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll be able to get back into it.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got \n\n__Youngsters got valuable minutes__ \n\nRichmond had 11 players with less than 40 games of experience.\n\nIt certainly was a proper footballing lesson that they received, which hopefully they’ll take plenty away from.\n\nKane McAuliffe played well in his third game, picking up 20 disposals and laying five tackles \n\nThe Tigers also managed to win clearances and centre clearances. But that was about the only stat line they won, and clearly had no bearing on the outcome. \n\nThere wasn’t much else to write home about. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Questionable effort and intent__ \n\nIt’s hard to pinpoint one exact area where the Tigers are being brushed aside.\n\nOne thing that has been alarming is the lack of pressure around the ball.\n\nThe Lions, despite losing clearances, just moved the ball so easily around the Gabba - and it made Adem Yze’s side look silly at times.\n\nRichmond’s drop-off in effort and intent over the last two weeks has been surprising, seeing as it was keeping them competitive in most games prior. \n\n__Somehow more injuries__\n\nThe amount of injuries Richmond has copped in 2024 is astounding. \n\nThey entered the Lions fixture with 15 players on the injury list. Mykelti Lefau hurt his jaw (thankfully it is not broken) and Rhyan Mansell was concussed during the game which did not help the cause. \n\nUnfortunately, ruckman Sam Naismith went down with another ACL injury in the VFL on Sunday, further compounding the club’s personnel issues. \n\nIt’s been a season of hell on the injury front at Punt Road. \n\n__Can’t score, can’t defend__\n\nThe Tigers’ lack of scoring ability has been one area that has plagued them in 2024.\n\nThey have scored just 622 points in 10 games at an average of 62.2 which is the lowest in the league. \n\nThey have failed to kick 50 points in each of the last four games.\n\nRichmond’s defence is also a glaring issue. They’ve conceded 1044 points at an average of 104.4 points per game. Only North Melbourne has conceded more points. \n\nIt’s time for Adem Yze to get tough with the playing group to avoid this season being even more of a disaster than it already is. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__The Swans have unearthed another tagger__ \n\nThe Sydney Swans have had a knack of uncovering undervalued role players and transforming them into the best tagger in the game. In 2022, it was Ryan Clarke who was tasked with shutting the opposition's most damaging player to great effect. \n\nThis year, it’s new recruit James Jordon who added Sam Walsh to his growing list of scalps. Walsh was unable find any rhythm or space in his game as he was held to 20 disposals (27.2 season average), three clearances (3.9), four score involvements (7.3) and one goal at 55% disposal efficiency (64.2%). \n\nJordon was able to find plenty of ball himself in the meantime with 16 touches, six tackles, three clearances, six score involvements and a goal. After shutting down Jordan Clark at Fremantle and Lachie Whitfield at the Giants, the Western Bulldogs will face a nervous wait to see who his next target will be. \n\n__The Chad lights it up for Marngrook__ \n\nChad Warner tore Carlton to shreds on Friday night with one of the best individual performances of the season to take home the player of the match award. Warmer amassed a team-high 28 disposals, 14 score involvements, 10 marks, 10 contested possessions, 721 metres gained and 3.2. \n\n__Running power overwhelms Carlton__ \n\nCarlton had no answer for the running speed and attacking play from the Swans whose midfielders and half back line ran circles around Michael Voss’ men. Sydney’s 23 players gained 6,158 metres compared to Calrton’s 5,621. \n\nThe Swans recorded a remarkable 17 running bounces on Friday night including nine alone from Chad Warner. There is no shame in Carlton being unable to contain the Swans’ run and carry with Sydney having the second most running bounces in the competition with 84. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__A concerning slow start __\n\nThe Swans found themselves 26 points behind midway through the first term and it could’ve been far worse if Harry McKay hadn’t missed from straight in front. Whilst the Swans went on to kick 13 of the 14 goals, John Longmire and the Swans should not sweep the slow start under the rug. \n\n*Charles Goodsir* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Josh Battle continues to shine in a contract year__\n\nSt Kilda will clearly be hoping to lock defender Josh Battle in long term as he remains a sturdy part of the defensive structures.\n\nBattle took 12 marks to go with 17 disposals in the loss to Freo, and is putting together an incredibly strong month. \n\nThings are going wrong for the Saints generally, but Battle has certainly carrying his load. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__St Kilda’s forward line is toothless__ \n\nMattaes Phillipou – four disposals, one goal – can’t find the footy.\n\nMax King – 10 disposals, goalless – is shockingly out of form. \n\nLiam Henry has been slow in re-integrating post injury, Lance Collard can’t be expected to find much of the footy and Anthony Caminiti comes in and kicks two goals, but likely makes way again for Tim Membrey.\n\nMitchito Owens kicks three, but only has eight disposals? How does that happen? \n\nSt Kilda needs to drastically adjust what they’re doing inside 50 and get these top-end players involved. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Harley Reid… again.__\n\nThe scariest part of Harley Reid’s ascendance is that this is likely the worst he is going to be in his career.\n\nThe young Eagle was absolutely electric against the Demons, dominating for stretches at a time and putting together a single-game highlight reel that would rival many players’ career highlights.\n\nReid has singlehandedly revitalised the entirety of West Coast, and the direst situation in the AFL has suddenly become full of optimism.\n\n__Jake Waterman is unstoppable__\n\nOn current form, there is arguably no better forward in the AFL than Jake Waterman.\n\nThat is not a sentence that many would have expected to exist coming into the season.\n\nAfter another bag of five against Melbourne, Waterman moves into equal-first in the Coleman race with 29 goals, with 23 of those coming in the last five games.\n\nWhile he is undoubtedly riding an unbelievable hot streak, the forward is playing a brand of footy that could conceivably span through the entire season, dominating aerial contests regardless of opponent.\n\nIt will be fascinating to see how Adam Simpson balances the forward line once Oscar Allen returns, as the right combination could suddenly make the Eagles’ attack look very scary.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Not slamming the door early__\n\nIt’s hard to nitpick a comprehensive victory over a premiership contender, other than the fact that it should have been even more comprehensive.\n\nThe Eagles led the Demons by 13 points going into the main break, despite having eight more scoring shots in the first half.\n\nWest Coast’s inaccuracy kept Melbourne in the game early on, and if they had kicked 10.5 rather than 7.8 in that opening half they could have completely slammed the door.\n\nOtherwise, it was a completely dominant display from the Eagles, with the 35-point margin arguably flattering the Demons.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n\n\n__Dominance everywhere but the scoreboard__\n\nIn almost every single facet of the game, this had the makings of a comfortable thrashing.\n\nThe Bulldogs easily came out on top in the clearance game, contested possessions and inside 50 count, all while forcing the Giants to play an unfamiliar, slow brand of football with a strong defensive structure.\n\nIt was the kind of performance that answered the bulk of concerns that had been levelled at the Bulldogs all season long and reaffirms their case for finals just weeks after they seemed out of reach.\n\nWith a tough stretch ahead of them, including games against the Swans and Magpies in back-to-back weeks, it’s time for the Bulldogs to prove that this display against GWS wasn’t an aberration.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Kicking accuracy__\n\nEven considering the slippery conditions, this was one of the worst goalkicking performances of the season.\n\nThe Bulldogs racked up a monstrous 30 scoring shots, 17 more than the Giants, and only managed a 27-point victory.\n\nA scoreline of 8.22, highlighted by a goalless opening term is simply unacceptable for any AFL team, let alone a Dogs side that is now back in the thick of the finals hunt.\n\nExpect plenty of kicking drills to be on the agenda down at Whitten Oval this week.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n[](https://www.sen.com.au/app/)","date":"2024-05-20T16:05+10:00","author":"SEN","seoTitle":"What they got right and wrong: Each club’s wins

There's an offer from West Coast, but significantly less money - with a lot of game/award triggers - and only 2 years.
Lot to weight up for Yeo. Still a good chance he remains at Eagles beyond 2024, but no certainty.

Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round… we have no fears he won’t be fit and fully available.”\n\nAustralia’s first of four group stage games comes against Oman in Barbados on June 6. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:27+10:00","author":"Seb

in what they offer.”","content":"Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short have been added as travelling reserves to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad, although both won’t play unless there is an injury in the squad. \n\nWith Andrew McDonald and members of his squad set to fly out on Wednesday for the World Cup in the West Indies and the US, the Australian coach joined *SEN’s Whateley* to detail changes to the travelling party. \n\nIn-form opener Fraser-McGurk and BBL star Short have been added to the 15-man squad, with McDonald stating the batters bring different qualities. \n\n“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer. Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round… we have no fears he won’t be fit and fully available.”\n\nAustralia’s first of four group stage games comes against Oman in Barbados on June 6. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:27+10:00","author":"Seb

Think again. \n\nCompetitions analysis boss Daniel Hoyne joins *SEN’s Sportsday* every Tuesday and this week was given the task of finding the league’s most clutch players. \n\n“We’ve just got a smallish sample size of the last two years and we're just trying to keep it simple,” Hoyne said on the prospect. \n\n“We decided to have a look at games decided by under two goals and how (players) performed in that final quarter, just to keep it really simple and as a starting point. \n\n“It’s thrown up a really good list, I must be honest. \n\n“This is a minimum of five games you must have played in games decided by under two goals.” \n\nSee Champion Data’s top 15 with comments from Hoyne below. \n\n\n\n[](https://senstadium.com.au/)\n\n[](https://www.sen.com.au/app/)\n\n__1. Noah Anderson (Gold Coast)__\n\n“Noah Anderson comes out as the no.1 clutch player in the competition over the last two years in games decided by under two goals, clearly number one. \n\n“His performance over the last two years in those moments and those games have been enormous… it’s his overall rating, so how he’s won the ball, how he’s used it and where on the ground he’s impacted the game. \n\n“His ability to be able to win clearance and contest in those five matches he’s played in the final quarter has been superb and then he’s been able to get it on the scoreboard as well.” \n\n__2. Tom Liberatore (Western Bulldogs)__\n\n“Libba comes in at number two. So often we go straight to Bont (Marcus Bontempelli)… but Libba’s ability to be able to impact the game at clearance in these tight last quarters and get the ball going forward has been superb.”\n\n__3. Sam Taylor (GWS Giants)__\n\n“This one took my interest. He’s played in six quarters over the last two years where games have been decided by under 12 points and what he’s done in those six quarters, his intercept marking, ability to hold up against momentum has been a bit of a point of difference. \n\n“A lot of these players we’re seeing their work ahead of the ball and seeing their work at clearance and contest, but his ability to hold up behind the footy and be that roadblock (has been the standard).” \n\n__4.

Pies produced yet another thrilling comeback win over the Crows making Adelaide’s finals aspirations seem slim.\n\nAdelaide’s four-point loss to the Pies ended in dramatic circumstances with a late goal from Jordan De Goey being the final dagger to a brave Adelaide performance.\n\nIt marks a ninth straight loss to the Magpies in a row and another tight finish. \n\nCrows midfielder Rory Laird was left frustrated after the tight loss to the pies “really stung” and has damaged the Crows chances of September action.\n\n“It would be nice to be on the other end and get them for once,” Laird told *SEN SA*.\n\n“You can’t give up a lead like that and make it easy for yourself.”\n\nJust minutes before the final siren Adelaide star Izak Rankine was penalised by the umpire for running too far, causing a brutal turnover which saw the Pies hit the front.\n\nLaird expressed his annoyance, given the state of the game, even if the call was technically correct.\n\n“When you look at it and break it down in slow motion it’s 24.2 metres, but in the game you sort of let that go don’t you?”\n\n“I saw him take a bounce and thought he's all sweet here, but the thing with Izak is he's travelling further and faster than most people with the ball.”\n\nTo make matters worse for the Crows, Rankine suffered a hamstring injury late in the game which will see him miss approximately three weeks of football.\n\nFollowing Saturday’s loss, the Crows sit 13th on the ladder with just three wins. \n\nHowever, Laird still remains optimistic about what his side can achieve as they look towards the second half of the year.\n\n“It’s a very even slate of teams who are 5-14th, so if there’s any season to sort of look into and have an opportunity to fight back in the second half of the year then this is probably the best opportunity in a long time.”\n\n“We have really made it hard for ourselves and the weekend adds a little bit of salt into the wounds, it was another opportunity to stay closer to the competition and we have made it difficult.”\n\nLaird and the Crows now look towards a do or die clash with the inform West Coast Eagles at Adelaide oval on Sunday as they look to get

weekend.","content":"What did your club get right and what did your club get wrong in Round 10?\n\nWe had nine matches across the weekend with some remarkable finishes, some huge spankings and some massive individual performances.\n\nSee our assessments below:\n\n\n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Final term comeback and staying in it all day__\n\nAdelaide never gave in on Saturday at the MCG despite trailing for 109 of 121 minutes.\n\nThey easily could have dropped their head early on, particularly after the Pies skipped out to a 30-point lead in the second term after kicking six goals in a row.\n\nMany other teams, particularly from interstate, would have dropped their bundle in enemy territory against the reigning premiers.\n\nBut not Adelaide. Even though they didn’t win, they gave themselves enough chances to.\n\nThis team still believes their best is good enough to match it with the best, and they’re not wrong.\n\nIt’s one small thing to hang their hat on.\n\n__Getting the ball inside 50__\n\nThe Crows gave their forwards enough opportunities to win Saturday’s game, going inside 50 on 58 occasions to Collingwood’s 49.\n\nIn the final quarter alone, they went in 16 times to Collingwood’s nine. That’s where they really had the chance to win.\n\nLooking at expected score as well, the Crows only were behind 68.3 to 67.6, proving that the result was really a coinflip as the Magpies came up clutch.\n\nOn other occasions, those inside 50s will result in more scores and the Crows will get more reward for their efforts.\n\nIt was a defeat, but one they’ll take a lot of positives from.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Not sending anyone to Daicos in the first half__\n\nAdelaide should never have let Nick Daicos run free for the first half on Saturday.\n\nI mean, he’s a top two or three player in the competition on form and is only building into his season now.\n\nThe Pies superstar had a ridiculous 10 clearances and 24 disposals in the first half alone.\n\nWhile Jordan Dawson sat on him at stoppage in the second half, restricting him somewhat to four clearances and 17 disposals from then on, most of the damage was already done.\n\nWe’re not saying they should have tagged Daicos outright, but he’s one of a couple of players in the league that you need to put time into or else you will bleed.\n\nIn a game that was so tight in the end, it was just about the difference in the result.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Selfless Lions__ \n\nThe Lions shared the ball around at will, given the lack of Richmond pressure that came their way. \n\nThey were able to do as they pleased in and around forward 50, highlighted by Lachie Neale’s remarkable six goal assists.\n\nLogan Morris, Eric Hipwood, Joe Daniher and Jarrod Berry all had two goal assists each and the general finding of a teammate in a better position was evident all night. \n\nDespite two bags of five from Kai Lohmann and Charlie Cameron, their 26 goals were spread across 12 players which is a great sign for Chris Fagan. \n\n__Finishing was on fire__ \n\nBrisbane kicked 26.7 in a damaging display of finishing and accuracy. \n\nBefore Saturday night, the Lions had only kicked more goals than behinds in two matches in 2024. \n\nIt helps when you are afforded so much time and space to be able to conjure constant shots at goal, but they were able to put them away - something that has evaded them for much of the campaign. \n\n__Lohmann breaks out, Ah Chee delivers__ \n\nHe’s been bubbling away with some solid performances in the senior side this year, but Lohmann produced the best game of his career. \n\nLohmann had a nice fill-up with five goals from 14 disposals and seven marks, doing the damage early with a pair of majors in the first term. \n\nIt is normally the usual suspects whenever the Lions have a win, so it was nice to see an emerging player, in just his 18th AFL game, shine so brightly. \n\nCallum Ah Chee also got in on the act again with 19 disposals and 12 marks. \n\nHis hanger in the second quarter was a thing of beauty. \n\n__Relentless and ruthless all night__\n\nThe Lions jumped out of the blocks with seven first-quarter goals to Richmond’s zero.\n\nBut it wasn’t a one off.\n\nThey kept their foot on the throat of the Tigers, piling on six goals in the second, eight in the third and five more in the last. \n\nIt was a relentless and ruthless performance, perhaps the one that will truly kickstart their run towards finals. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Hipwood report and clearance numbers__ \n\nIt’s hard to find any woes in a 119-point win.\n\nThe only negative we can find is the tackle by Eric Hipwood on Nick Vlastuin which led to a one-week suspension (pending any possible Lions appeal). \n\nSomehow they were also beaten in clearances (35-36) and centre clearances (11-16), but obviously those numbers had zero impact on the game. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Zac Williams to half forward__ \n\nZac Williams has mostly struggled to find form in defence this year and has looked half the player he was before the ACL injury.\n\nThe Blues moved Williams to half forward in this one given the mountain of injuries they have to their forwards and he looked good early.\n\nHe was moved around following Jacob Weitering’s injury, but it was a role worth persisting with.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Carlton’s midfield is too slow__ \n\nSydney isn’t the first team to exploit Carlton when they play all of Cripps, Kennedy and Hewett, but it was particularly evident on Friday night.\n\nThe Swans did as they pleased at centre bounces and when the ball went their way, they were off to the races.\n\nCarlton clearly noticed the issue, trying Corey Durdin on-ball at stages, but that’s not the answer either.\n\nThe Blues need more dynamic players in the middle and Elijah Hollands is surely the one to receive a few opportunities in Adam Cerra’s absence. \n\n__Too many forwards don’t touch the footy__ \n\nCorey Durdin and Orazio Fantasia both played full games of footy on Thursday night for a combined 10 disposals, four tackles and 0.1.\n\nTom De Koning also spent 80 per cent of the game forward as Marc Pittonet assumes full control of the ruck – De Koning had six disposals, one mark and didn’t hit the scoreboard.\n\nCarlton needs to revamp their forward mix and needs desperately to hope Lachie Fogarty and Jesse Motlop are available to return this weekend. \n\nThe Blues also should go back to one ruckman and try to get their forward-half pressure game back, given it has dropped away significantly. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Clearance domination and midfield start__\n\nCollingwood’s midfield got the side off to a cracking start on Saturday.\n\nThe Pies kicked eight of the first 11 goals, and that was no doubt thanks to the upper hand they had at the contest.\n\nIn the first quarter alone, the top six ball-winners on the ground were all Magpies, with Nick Daicos (15 disposals), Scott Pendlebury (two goals, 12 disposals) and Jordan De Goey (one goal, 10 touches) doing most of the damage.\n\nGetting so much ball from the centre helped launch Collingwood’s scores as the Crows played catch up for the rest of the game.\n\nEven though the Crows worked back into it, the Pies also won the clearance count 44-36.\n\nIt’s the third week in a row where they’ve really dominated on-ball. If things remain the same, this side will be very hard to beat once talent returns in other areas of the ground.\n\n__Finding enough goalkickers with soldiers going down__\n\nCollingwood was already missing a handful of important forwards on Saturday, and things got worse when Will Hoskin-Elliott (hamstring) and Reef McInnes (concussion) went down with injuries.\n\nSomehow though, the Pies managed to kick a winning score, with nine individual goalkickers chipping in.\n\nOf those players, three were genuine midfielders, while half-back John Noble also got in on the action.\n\nCollingwood share the load as well as any team in the comp and that proved to be the case on Saturday.\n\nIf they can keep doing that while adding the likes of Mihocek, McCreery, Elliott and even McStay back into the team, this offence will go to another level.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Didn’t ever really put the Crows away__\n\nEven though the Magpies got out to a five-goal lead in the second term, they lacked the killer blow to ever put Adelaide away.\n\nThat came back to haunt them in the last quarter as the Crows pressed and even snatched the lead back for a brief moment.\n\nIf they had put the Crows away when they had the chance and cattle available, it never would have been an issue.\n\nWhen you’ve got the momentum, you need to make it count. Things like last week can happen far too easily when the Pies didn’t have a single tall target to kick to in the fourth term at stages, allowing the Crows to lock the ball in their front half.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got (W)right \n\n__Two-metre Peter back in form__ \n\nPeter Wright hadn’t kicked more than two goals since returning from suspension and was coming off a goalless performance against GWS. \n\nHe needed a big game and delivered against North Melbourne in a comfortable 40-point win. Four goals from six shots, as well as 11 hitouts and nine marks is right among the better games he’ll play and inspires confidence for the rest of the season.\n\nWright also enjoyed an equal club-high six inside 50s. Watch out Richmond this week. \n\n__Kept the pressure on__ \n\nThe Bombers had 22 less uncontested possessions than Alastair Clarkson’s North Melbourne but still laid some 56 tackles, 14 more than North Melbourne. \n\nIn a game Essendon was expected to win and win well, effort was clearly still the number one priority, with Brad Scott’s forwards still laying 10 tackles inside 50 to the Roos’ two. \n\nIf the Dons can bring that on a quiet Sunday against North Melbourne, they can do it against the best teams when it counts. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__What happened in the middle?__ \n\nEssendon’s clearance game is the 4th best in the competition, while the Roos rank 13th. \n\nSo for Scott’s midfield to be humbled 28-42, losing both total centre clearances and stoppage clearances, is a surprise. \n\nFor all Richmond’s faults in Round 10, they actually beat Brisbane in the clearance count, adding another fascinating storyline to this Saturday’s Dreamtime. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Jackson one-out in the ruck__ \n\nTeams have found ways to expose Rowan Marshall in recent weeks, with opposition ruckmen putting up big numbers and Luke Jackson was no exception. \n\nHe found 25 disposals, won 39 hit-outs, 10 clearances and laid six tackles. He’s clearly shown his capacity to dominate when given the sole ruck duties.\n\nOf course, Sean Darcy will be needed to spell Jackson and the pair can work together, but it seems clear at this point that the Dockers are at their best with Jackson and Josh Treacy as his backup.\n\n__Midfield mix is working beautifully__ \n\nFremantle smacked St Kilda in the midfield on Saturday night, allowing them to play with a set defence behind them and making it nearly impossible for the Saints to score.\n\nCaleb Serong, Andrew Brayshaw, Hayden Young and Nathan Fyfe as the predominant on-ball quartet was too much for St Kilda to handle, winning the clearances 50-33.\n\nIt’s been their go-to mix all season, with Matthew Johnson the fifth wheel in there and Jaeger O’Meara no longer in there.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Accuracy issues still plague Freo__ \n\nAfter last week’s debacle against the Swans, with the Dockers kicking 4.15, the yips plagued them again against St Kilda.\n\nFreo kicked 4.12 in the second half which ultimately restricted them to just 72 points – a winning score against the Saints but maybe not some other teams. \n\nIt’s one to watch as the season goes on. Jye Amiss the chief offender, kicking 2.5. There are worse problems to have!\n\n*Nic Negrepontis*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Three positional calls__ \n\nMax Holmes to half-back, Gryan Miers playing the connector role and Toby Conway as a full-time ruckman. \n\nOn a disastrous night for the Cats, that trio were clearly Chris Scott’s best players in performing exactly what was hoped. \n\nThe other 19 have got plenty to learn about breaking momentum and playing wet weather footy. \n\nScott’s system also fell apart given Geelong won contest and clearance. Lessons to be taken all round. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Stewart rendered useless again__ \n\nThere are a hundred aspects Geelong got wrong on Thursday, so we won’t harp on here. \n\nBut Round 10 was the second straight game where Tom Stewart again had no impact, despite the footy largely living in Gold Coast’s forward half. \n\nIt’s a hard one to put a finger on. Stewart had 13 intercepts, a clear game-high, but put almost zero pressure on his direct opponent. \n\nHe’s a better player than that and it’s on both Stewart and Scott to get the All-Australian calibre defender back to his impactful best and the Cats not conceding 26 goals. \n\n__Cam Guthrie’s management?__ \n\nIt’s certainly too early to tell, but have the Cats made a mistake getting Cam Guthrie straight back into the senior side? \n\nThe 32-year-old hasn’t dominated in his four games back from injury and on Thursday was subbed off in the third term of the eventual loss with nine touches to his name. \n\nHe wasn’t the only Cat below par. But he’s arguably Geelong’s most important player with Patrick Dangerfield out and a lack of experienced midfielders already and his failure will lead to Geelong’s more often than not. \n\nThe Cats were toothless without Guthrie near his best. \n\n*Seb Mottram*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Midfield dominance__ \n\nYou’ll be hard pressed to find a better performance from two midfielders in the same team in the same win. \n\nNoah Anderson (42 possessions, two goals) and Matt Rowell (35 possessions, eight clearances, 10 tackles) tore the Cats to shred at the contest and were Chris Scott’s biggest headache all night. \n\nThey weren’t up against much, but the Suns will love what they’re seeing from the developing stars. Throw in Ned Moyle’s impressive effort and 32 touches for Touk Miller and you’ve got a complete and utter midfield mauling. \n\n__Good call from Dimma__ \n\nEyebrows were raised when Damien Hardwick rested co-captain Jarrod Witts for the Suns’ biggest game of the year. \n\nBut young ruck Ned Moyle delivered in spades and justified the gutsy call. Moyle had a clear team-high 17 contested possessions and a whopping 42 hitouts, also getting busy to lay five tackles. \n\nAt the very least, Moyle – who is out of contract at the end of 2024 – had just seen his trade value jump. He continues to prove himself at AFL level on the rare occasions he gets a gig.\n\n__Where did King come from?!__ \n\nJust quietly, Ben King is a co-leader of the Coleman Medal! \n\nThe 23-year-old is in a four-way tie for first and plenty of rusted on footy fans would find themselves surprised to see King atop the goal kicking list. \n\nHe flew under the radar again on Thursday. Not his best game, but the key forward found a way to boot four goals in slippery conditions. \n\nHe’s looking a far better player than his twin brother at the current time. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Disappointment in contested footy__ \n\nDespite starring performances in the middle and blistering periods of attack, the Suns weren’t willing to get as busy as their opponents in the heat. \n\nAgainst a Cats lineup lacking plenty, especially through the midfield, the Suns still lost contested footy and clearances. \n\nHardwick’s men rank in the top six for both this year, so perhaps they’re due a mulligan. But don’t let it become the precedent. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Stars played well__\n\nToby Greene, Jesse Hogan, Lachie Whitfield, Harry Himmelberg, Tom Green and Stephen Coniglio and were among the Giants’ very best players.\n\nGreene kicked three goals from 17 touches, Hogan also booted three goals and took seven marks, Whitfield had 31 touches and 761 metres gained, Himmelberg had 30 disposals and 12 marks, Green amassed 29 touches and seven clearances and Conigio had 22 and six tackles. \n\nCal Ward did a great job in restricting Marcus Bontempelli to 10 disposals in the first three quarters which is a very impressive effort. \n\nThe reliable heads just didn’t have enough assistance from the younger and fringe players who had contributed so well in the first handful of games. \n\nIt’s a small win on an otherwise dirty weekend. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Did not play the conditions well__\n\nThe Giants were unable to match the Bulldogs in the wet conditions. \n\nAdam Kingsley lamented the fact that his side was easily beaten at clearances (38-46) and stoppage clearances (28-41).\n\nHe also felt they were not clever enough with the way they attempted to move the ball on a soggy surface. \n\nThey were unable to get their running game up and going which saw them produce just 41 inside 50s, hurting their ability to score.\n\n__Toothless in attack__\n\nGWS kicked 100 or more points in five of its first seven games of 2024.\n\nHave the Giants been worked out since?\n\nKingsley’s side has returned scores of 69, 62 and most recently 43, suggesting they are toothless in attack right now.\n\nToby Greene and Jesse Hogan kicked all six of their goals against the Dogs, highlighting a lack of assistance from those around them.\n\nThe once free-flowing Giants have been curtailed of late which has coincided with three defeats on the trot and four losses in their last five. \n\n__On a side note…__\n\nDid we overplay the Giants’ form earlier in the season?\n\nThey beat a hungover Collingwood side in Opening Round before picking up wins over North Melbourne, West Coast, Gold Coast (in Adelaide) and St Kilda - three of those sides are in the bottom five. \n\nThey did annihilate the Brisbane Lions, but it does seem perhaps their form has been somewhat overrated. \n\nThe Giants have a testing month ahead - Geelong at GMHBA, Hawthorn in Tassie, Port Adelaide and Sydney at home. We will truly know where they are by the completion of Round 15. \n\nKingsley’s side started the season nicely, but they’ve been well below their best over the last month or so. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Had it won (before they lost it)__ \n\nLet’s take the glass half-full approach. For two and a half quarters, the Hawks dominated a club with top-four aspirations on their own deck. \n\nClearances, contested footy, territory you name it, Hawthorn had it. That’s no mean feat and even though the Hawks lost, it’s a far better performance than most believed they could produce. \n\nSam Mitchell is the coach that’s touted to be, take nothing away from that. \n\n__Blake bloody Hardwick__ \n\nIf you had Blake Hardwick to kick four goals in the opening quarter, hats off. \n\nGiven he’d only kicked one goal since Round 5, the performance he put forward on Sunday afternoon at a roaring Adelaide Oval certainly came as a surprise. \n\nHe finished with five majors, 23 touches and two direct goal assists as the Hawks opened up a decent gap. \n\nIf Mitchell had his time again, you’d expect him to keep Hardwick – typically a small defender – ahead of the footy instead of throwing him down back late. \n\nBut alas, giving Hardwick the license to roam inside 50 gave Hawthorn a great shot. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__The entire last quarter__ \n\nMake no mistake, this game wasn’t only lost in the last 30 seconds. \n\nHawthorn went back into its shell for the entire last term, registering only four inside 50s for the quarter. Playing that brand of footy is asking to have your 28-point margin cut into and that’s exactly what happened. \n\nThere was no forward structure, and Hardwick – his side’s primary hope ahead of the ball – found himself deep in defence alongside Will Day, the Hawks’ best midfielder on the day. \n\nA lack of intent crucified the Hawks and Mitchell paid the price. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Won the ball at the source__\n\nDespite the 35-point loss, Melbourne did win the ball at the source.\n\nThe Demons beat the Eagles 41-36 at clearance thanks to a 28-21 stoppage clearance superiority.\n\nClayton Oliver had nine clearances, Max Gawn had six, and Jack Viney and Christian Petracca had five each. The usual suspects dd the job around the ball, but it fell over post clearance. \n\nAlthough they did the win the first ball more often than not, the Dees had their game taken away from them by the more desperate and hungrier Eagles. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Untidy by foot and blunt in attack__\n\nThe Demons struggled to conjure meaningful inside 50s across the course of the contest. \n\nYes, West Coast’s pressure was high, but the Dees were simply unable to use the ball effectively enough.\n\nTheir disposal efficiency was less than 67 per cent and they could only managed 36 inside 50s - their lowest return of the season so far. \n\nThose numbers simply did not give their forwards enough opportunity to score.\n\nAfter gaining the ascendency in the third term with a positive inside 50 count (+4), the Demons shot themselves in the foot by kicking 3.7, while the Eagles kicked 5.0.\n\n__Conceded 100+ in rare occurrence__ \n\nThe Demons conceded over 100 points for the first time this year and just the third time in a season and a half.\n\nThe 105 points kicked by the Eagles was the first time Simon Goodwin’s backline has been properly breached in 2024.\n\nA lot of that had to do with the fact that Jake Lever went off concussed in the first quarter which derailed and disorganised their defence. \n\n__Missed the chance to go third__\n\nA win would have put the Dees into third position.\n\nPlaying the last fixture of Round 10, they knew that four points would have placed them behind only Sydney and Essendon.\n\nBut they couldn’t get the job done and now sit in the middle of the pack with five other clubs on 24 points.\n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Davies-Uniacke is back__ \n\nIt hasn’t been a great season to date for LDU, but his performance against Essendon on the weekend was one of his career best.\n\nThe midfielder was the number one rated player on the ground, well clear of the next highest (Dyson Heppell), per Wheelo Ratings.\n\nHe won seven clearances, kicked two goals and had 27 disposals, but looked his explosive best.\n\n__Harry Sheezel’s best game as a midfielder__ \n\nIt’s taken Sheezel a few weeks to find his feet as an on-baller, but he really delivered on Sunday afternoon.\n\nHe found 32 disposals – back to his usual prolific nature – two goal assists, eight score involvements, six inside 50s and nine marks. \n\nIt’s a good sign for the Roos, particularly given the issues they’ve had in the midfield generally this season. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Second half wobbles__ \n\nThe second half on Sunday was hugely disappointing given the Roos were right in this game.\n\nThey went into the half-time break down seven points having traded blows and kept pace with the Bombers.\n\nFrom there, they conceded 9.5 and only managed four goals themselves, and were blown out in the fourth term. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Huge comeback__\n\nPort Adelaide were 41 points down 23 minutes into the third term on Sunday.\n\nThe likelihood of winning from there could have only been a couple of per cent, but they got there.\n\nThis team absolutely believes that 30 minutes of good footy can get them over the top of anyone, that’s how good they are once they click into top gear.\n\nUnfortunately for Hawthorn, that happened late at the Adelaide Oval as the Power kicked the final six goals to win in ridiculous fashion.\n\nThat comeback was led by Zak Butters, who collected a ridiculous 17 disposals in the last term alone.\n\nThey can thank him for securing the four points in this one.\n\n__The final minute__\n\nWith 35 seconds left, Port Adelaide were down by 11 points.\n\nLiterally EVERYTHING had to go right from there to win, and somehow it did.\n\nFirstly, Willie Rioli nailed a long set shot from a free kick. He also went back and kicked it as quickly as he possibly could to make sure time didn’t roll off the clock.\n\nAfter that, the Power had 22 seconds to find one more goal. \n\nWith the ball at a centre stoppage, Willem Drew farmed the ball out to Zak Butters who launched it forward.\n\nA contest ensued 30 metres out from goal directly in front. After the ball spilled out to a Hawthorn player, the ball sat on the ground for Darcy Byrne-Jones to soccer … the rest is history.\n\nIt was as perfect as the Power could have hoped for things to go in those dying moments.\n\nThey knew exactly what they had to do and executed perfectly.\n\nHats off to Ken Hinkley and the coaching staff, as well as the players for clicking into an all-out attack mentality to grab the win.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Sluggish start__\n\nPort Adelaide were incredibly slow out of the blocks on Sunday.\n\nThe Power allowed the Hawks to kick seven of the first eight goals, an incredibly disappointing effort given Hawthorn is a rebuilding side without some of their best players.\n\nEven though they were able to rope them back late and get over the line, they won’t want to give up that kind of start against any kind of finals contender.\n\nIf they do, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll be able to get back into it.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got \n\n__Youngsters got valuable minutes__ \n\nRichmond had 11 players with less than 40 games of experience.\n\nIt certainly was a proper footballing lesson that they received, which hopefully they’ll take plenty away from.\n\nKane McAuliffe played well in his third game, picking up 20 disposals and laying five tackles \n\nThe Tigers also managed to win clearances and centre clearances. But that was about the only stat line they won, and clearly had no bearing on the outcome. \n\nThere wasn’t much else to write home about. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Questionable effort and intent__ \n\nIt’s hard to pinpoint one exact area where the Tigers are being brushed aside.\n\nOne thing that has been alarming is the lack of pressure around the ball.\n\nThe Lions, despite losing clearances, just moved the ball so easily around the Gabba - and it made Adem Yze’s side look silly at times.\n\nRichmond’s drop-off in effort and intent over the last two weeks has been surprising, seeing as it was keeping them competitive in most games prior. \n\n__Somehow more injuries__\n\nThe amount of injuries Richmond has copped in 2024 is astounding. \n\nThey entered the Lions fixture with 15 players on the injury list. Mykelti Lefau hurt his jaw (thankfully it is not broken) and Rhyan Mansell was concussed during the game which did not help the cause. \n\nUnfortunately, ruckman Sam Naismith went down with another ACL injury in the VFL on Sunday, further compounding the club’s personnel issues. \n\nIt’s been a season of hell on the injury front at Punt Road. \n\n__Can’t score, can’t defend__\n\nThe Tigers’ lack of scoring ability has been one area that has plagued them in 2024.\n\nThey have scored just 622 points in 10 games at an average of 62.2 which is the lowest in the league. \n\nThey have failed to kick 50 points in each of the last four games.\n\nRichmond’s defence is also a glaring issue. They’ve conceded 1044 points at an average of 104.4 points per game. Only North Melbourne has conceded more points. \n\nIt’s time for Adem Yze to get tough with the playing group to avoid this season being even more of a disaster than it already is. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__The Swans have unearthed another tagger__ \n\nThe Sydney Swans have had a knack of uncovering undervalued role players and transforming them into the best tagger in the game. In 2022, it was Ryan Clarke who was tasked with shutting the opposition's most damaging player to great effect. \n\nThis year, it’s new recruit James Jordon who added Sam Walsh to his growing list of scalps. Walsh was unable find any rhythm or space in his game as he was held to 20 disposals (27.2 season average), three clearances (3.9), four score involvements (7.3) and one goal at 55% disposal efficiency (64.2%). \n\nJordon was able to find plenty of ball himself in the meantime with 16 touches, six tackles, three clearances, six score involvements and a goal. After shutting down Jordan Clark at Fremantle and Lachie Whitfield at the Giants, the Western Bulldogs will face a nervous wait to see who his next target will be. \n\n__The Chad lights it up for Marngrook__ \n\nChad Warner tore Carlton to shreds on Friday night with one of the best individual performances of the season to take home the player of the match award. Warmer amassed a team-high 28 disposals, 14 score involvements, 10 marks, 10 contested possessions, 721 metres gained and 3.2. \n\n__Running power overwhelms Carlton__ \n\nCarlton had no answer for the running speed and attacking play from the Swans whose midfielders and half back line ran circles around Michael Voss’ men. Sydney’s 23 players gained 6,158 metres compared to Calrton’s 5,621. \n\nThe Swans recorded a remarkable 17 running bounces on Friday night including nine alone from Chad Warner. There is no shame in Carlton being unable to contain the Swans’ run and carry with Sydney having the second most running bounces in the competition with 84. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__A concerning slow start __\n\nThe Swans found themselves 26 points behind midway through the first term and it could’ve been far worse if Harry McKay hadn’t missed from straight in front. Whilst the Swans went on to kick 13 of the 14 goals, John Longmire and the Swans should not sweep the slow start under the rug. \n\n*Charles Goodsir* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Josh Battle continues to shine in a contract year__\n\nSt Kilda will clearly be hoping to lock defender Josh Battle in long term as he remains a sturdy part of the defensive structures.\n\nBattle took 12 marks to go with 17 disposals in the loss to Freo, and is putting together an incredibly strong month. \n\nThings are going wrong for the Saints generally, but Battle has certainly carrying his load. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__St Kilda’s forward line is toothless__ \n\nMattaes Phillipou – four disposals, one goal – can’t find the footy.\n\nMax King – 10 disposals, goalless – is shockingly out of form. \n\nLiam Henry has been slow in re-integrating post injury, Lance Collard can’t be expected to find much of the footy and Anthony Caminiti comes in and kicks two goals, but likely makes way again for Tim Membrey.\n\nMitchito Owens kicks three, but only has eight disposals? How does that happen? \n\nSt Kilda needs to drastically adjust what they’re doing inside 50 and get these top-end players involved. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Harley Reid… again.__\n\nThe scariest part of Harley Reid’s ascendance is that this is likely the worst he is going to be in his career.\n\nThe young Eagle was absolutely electric against the Demons, dominating for stretches at a time and putting together a single-game highlight reel that would rival many players’ career highlights.\n\nReid has singlehandedly revitalised the entirety of West Coast, and the direst situation in the AFL has suddenly become full of optimism.\n\n__Jake Waterman is unstoppable__\n\nOn current form, there is arguably no better forward in the AFL than Jake Waterman.\n\nThat is not a sentence that many would have expected to exist coming into the season.\n\nAfter another bag of five against Melbourne, Waterman moves into equal-first in the Coleman race with 29 goals, with 23 of those coming in the last five games.\n\nWhile he is undoubtedly riding an unbelievable hot streak, the forward is playing a brand of footy that could conceivably span through the entire season, dominating aerial contests regardless of opponent.\n\nIt will be fascinating to see how Adam Simpson balances the forward line once Oscar Allen returns, as the right combination could suddenly make the Eagles’ attack look very scary.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Not slamming the door early__\n\nIt’s hard to nitpick a comprehensive victory over a premiership contender, other than the fact that it should have been even more comprehensive.\n\nThe Eagles led the Demons by 13 points going into the main break, despite having eight more scoring shots in the first half.\n\nWest Coast’s inaccuracy kept Melbourne in the game early on, and if they had kicked 10.5 rather than 7.8 in that opening half they could have completely slammed the door.\n\nOtherwise, it was a completely dominant display from the Eagles, with the 35-point margin arguably flattering the Demons.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n\n\n__Dominance everywhere but the scoreboard__\n\nIn almost every single facet of the game, this had the makings of a comfortable thrashing.\n\nThe Bulldogs easily came out on top in the clearance game, contested possessions and inside 50 count, all while forcing the Giants to play an unfamiliar, slow brand of football with a strong defensive structure.\n\nIt was the kind of performance that answered the bulk of concerns that had been levelled at the Bulldogs all season long and reaffirms their case for finals just weeks after they seemed out of reach.\n\nWith a tough stretch ahead of them, including games against the Swans and Magpies in back-to-back weeks, it’s time for the Bulldogs to prove that this display against GWS wasn’t an aberration.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Kicking accuracy__\n\nEven considering the slippery conditions, this was one of the worst goalkicking performances of the season.\n\nThe Bulldogs racked up a monstrous 30 scoring shots, 17 more than the Giants, and only managed a 27-point victory.\n\nA scoreline of 8.22, highlighted by a goalless opening term is simply unacceptable for any AFL team, let alone a Dogs side that is now back in the thick of the finals hunt.\n\nExpect plenty of kicking drills to be on the agenda down at Whitten Oval this week.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n[](https://www.sen.com.au/app/)","date":"2024-05-20T16:05+10:00","author":"SEN","seoTitle":"What they got right and wrong: Each club’s wins

There's an offer from West Coast, but significantly less money - with a lot of game/award triggers - and only 2 years.

I don’t know whether there needs to be a reset. Is this a trend? Is it a pattern of behaviour? I’m not sure. Maybe it’s just an event.\n\n“That’s a lot of players out of the game. We want the best players playing for long periods. \n\n\n\n“It’s difficult to put it to one thing. It’s a lot of things. I think there’s only four or five concussions amongst that 150-odd out. \n\n“If you want my opinion, I just feel like the game itself, we’re asking a lot of our players.\n\n“Is the game too long?”\n\nMcRae pondered the incremental increase in length of AFL seasons which last year jumped to 23 home and away matches and this year holds 24 rounds after the addition of Opening Round. \n\nHe feels that the game is asking a lot of the players and the unspoken feedback is coming in waves, in the way of constant unavailability. \n\n“They (the AFL) want to play more games. Potentially they want to play more games like in hub life,” he added.\n\n“We’re playing off five and six-day breaks, our players are doing that weekly, and it’s not just us, it’s every team.\n\n“Then there’s a flow-on effect of fatigue and the game has never been more powerful and physical in my eyes. From what I see from the boundary line and see our players post games.\n\n[](https://senstadium.com.au/)\n\n“We’re asking a lot of them. As athletes they look fitter and stronger than they’ve ever been. We start the season earlier, there’s still 15 rounds to go.\n\n“I just think there’s something to be said about the game which is giving us feedback. 150 players out, that’s giving us feedback.\n\n“If you’re comparing year to year, it’s a big number (153 unavailable players).”\n\nMcRae looks at shortened game time, like during the COVID-impacted season of 2020, as one possible solution to the injury crisis. \n\n“In hub life we played less time and I don’t think the game was any less of a product. Clearly we didn’t have the crowds to back that up,” McRae said further. \n\n“We were having five and six-day breaks regularly. We’re going into our third six-day break in a row, there is a fatigue level. \n\n“I don’t want to make this a Collingwood-centric thing, because it’s not, it’s a cost to all of our players. \n\n“When I come into match committee this week and you look at the magnets, you go ‘wow’, and then I hear this information.\n\n“It’s real.” \n\nPrior to Round 10, the Magpies had 13 players on their injury list, not including Jordan De Goey who played in the narrow win over Adelaide, but has [pulled up sore since](https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/05/20/collingwood-release-troubling-news-about-de-goeys-health-as-injury-list/). \n\nIn their victory over the Crows, Reef McInnes was concussed while Will Hoskin-Elliott suffered a hamstring injury \n\nThe reigning premiers next meet Fremantle in Perth on Friday night. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T07:40+10:00","author":"Andrew Slevison","seoTitle":"“Is the game too long?”: AFL injury crisis has Collingwood coach pondering length of the game","seoDescription":"More than 150 players were unavailable in Round 10.","seoKeywords":"AFL","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"3rnS5vw99XvTSJyddVtGVg","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-20T21:36:14.784Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-20T21:36:14.784Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Craig McRae Collingwood ","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/3rnS5vw99XvTSJyddVtGVg/056c3d711b34fff7f7a4d9b7bdb78534/07EsCo24DB2127.jpg","details":{"size":8129060,"image":{"width":5213,"height":3475}},"fileName":"07EsCo24DB2127.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5uOBi2OdBCeMgICO86cwWG","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:54.508Z","updatedAt":"2018-10-18T02:38:42.586Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":4,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"AFL","bgColour":"0060ff","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"afl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"3xw1XmSarFSlxfDZZ62HVM","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-04-03T00:11:51.559Z","updatedAt":"2024-04-03T00:13:08.044Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"AFL Teams","slug":"afl-all-teams","primary":false}}],"state":["QLD","NSW","TAS","WA","VIC","SA"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"o7n7zPKCaRDoXYSdmRExk","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:02.773Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:02.773Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Why Fraser-McGurk and Short were added to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad","slug":"why-fraser-mcgurk-and-short-were-added-to-australias-t20-world-cup-squad","summary":"“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer.”","content":"Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short have been added as travelling reserves to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad, although both won’t play unless there is an injury in the squad. \n\nWith Andrew McDonald and members of his squad set to fly out on Wednesday for the World Cup in the West Indies and the US, the Australian coach joined *SEN’s Whateley* to detail changes to the travelling party. \n\nIn-form opener Fraser-McGurk and BBL star Short have been added to the 15-man squad, with McDonald stating the batters bring different qualities. \n\n“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer. Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round… we have no fears he won’t be fit and fully available.”\n\nAustralia’s first of four group stage games comes against Oman in Barbados on June 6. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:27+10:00","author":"Seb

Hasleby has anointed West Coast’s Jake Waterman as the best player in the competition right now.\n\nThe improved forward led the Eagles to a 105-70 win over Melbourne on Sunday night, booting five goals to go with 17 disposals and 13 marks.\n\nIt continued a brilliant run of form for the 26-year-old who has kicked 23 goals across his last five games having missed the Round 9 loss to Collingwood with concussion.\n\nHasleby says there’s no defender in the competition that can go with the Eagle in the form he’s currently in.\n\n“Jake Waterman has been the best player in the comp over the last

Even though they didn’t win, they gave themselves enough chances to.\n\nThis team still believes their best is good enough to match it with the best, and they’re not wrong.\n\nIt’s one small thing to hang their hat on.\n\n__Getting the ball inside 50__\n\nThe Crows gave their forwards enough opportunities to win Saturday’s game, going inside 50 on 58 occasions to Collingwood’s 49.\n\nIn the final quarter alone, they went in 16 times to Collingwood’s nine. That’s where they really had the chance to win.\n\nLooking at expected score as well, the Crows only were behind 68.3 to 67.6, proving that the result was really a coinflip as the Magpies came up clutch.\n\nOn other occasions, those inside 50s will result in more scores and the Crows will get more reward for their efforts.\n\nIt was a defeat, but one they’ll take a lot of positives from.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Not sending anyone to Daicos in the first half__\n\nAdelaide should never have let Nick Daicos run free for the first half on Saturday.\n\nI mean, he’s a top two or three player in the competition on form and is only building into his season now.\n\nThe Pies superstar had a ridiculous 10 clearances and 24 disposals in the first half alone.\n\nWhile Jordan Dawson sat on him at stoppage in the second half, restricting him somewhat to four clearances and 17 disposals from then on, most of the damage was already done.\n\nWe’re not saying they should have tagged Daicos outright, but he’s one of a couple of players in the league that you need to put time into or else you will bleed.\n\nIn a game that was so tight in the end, it was just about the difference in the result.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Selfless Lions__ \n\nThe Lions shared the ball around at will, given the lack of Richmond pressure that came their way. \n\nThey were able to do as they pleased in and around forward 50, highlighted by Lachie Neale’s remarkable six goal assists.\n\nLogan Morris, Eric Hipwood, Joe Daniher and Jarrod Berry all had two goal assists each and the general finding of a teammate in a better position was evident all night. \n\nDespite two bags of five from Kai Lohmann and Charlie Cameron, their 26 goals were spread across 12 players which is a great sign for Chris Fagan. \n\n__Finishing was on fire__ \n\nBrisbane kicked 26.7 in a damaging display of finishing and accuracy. \n\nBefore Saturday night, the Lions had only kicked more goals than behinds in two matches in 2024. \n\nIt helps when you are afforded so much time and space to be able to conjure constant shots at goal, but they were able to put them away - something that has evaded them for much of the campaign. \n\n__Lohmann breaks out, Ah Chee delivers__ \n\nHe’s been bubbling away with some solid performances in the senior side this year, but Lohmann produced the best game of his career. \n\nLohmann had a nice fill-up with five goals from 14 disposals and seven marks, doing the damage early with a pair of majors in the first term. \n\nIt is normally the usual suspects whenever the Lions have a win, so it was nice to see an emerging player, in just his 18th AFL game, shine so brightly. \n\nCallum Ah Chee also got in on the act again with 19 disposals and 12 marks. \n\nHis hanger in the second quarter was a thing of beauty. \n\n__Relentless and ruthless all night__\n\nThe Lions jumped out of the blocks with seven first-quarter goals to Richmond’s zero.\n\nBut it wasn’t a one off.\n\nThey kept their foot on the throat of the Tigers, piling on six goals in the second, eight in the third and five more in the last. \n\nIt was a relentless and ruthless performance, perhaps the one that will truly kickstart their run towards finals. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Hipwood report and clearance numbers__ \n\nIt’s hard to find any woes in a 119-point win.\n\nThe only negative we can find is the tackle by Eric Hipwood on Nick Vlastuin which led to a one-week suspension (pending any possible Lions appeal). \n\nSomehow they were also beaten in clearances (35-36) and centre clearances (11-16), but obviously those numbers had zero impact on the game. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Zac Williams to half forward__ \n\nZac Williams has mostly struggled to find form in defence this year and has looked half the player he was before the ACL injury.\n\nThe Blues moved Williams to half forward in this one given the mountain of injuries they have to their forwards and he looked good early.\n\nHe was moved around following Jacob Weitering’s injury, but it was a role worth persisting with.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Carlton’s midfield is too slow__ \n\nSydney isn’t the first team to exploit Carlton when they play all of Cripps, Kennedy and Hewett, but it was particularly evident on Friday night.\n\nThe Swans did as they pleased at centre bounces and when the ball went their way, they were off to the races.\n\nCarlton clearly noticed the issue, trying Corey Durdin on-ball at stages, but that’s not the answer either.\n\nThe Blues need more dynamic players in the middle and Elijah Hollands is surely the one to receive a few opportunities in Adam Cerra’s absence. \n\n__Too many forwards don’t touch the footy__ \n\nCorey Durdin and Orazio Fantasia both played full games of footy on Thursday night for a combined 10 disposals, four tackles and 0.1.\n\nTom De Koning also spent 80 per cent of the game forward as Marc Pittonet assumes full control of the ruck – De Koning had six disposals, one mark and didn’t hit the scoreboard.\n\nCarlton needs to revamp their forward mix and needs desperately to hope Lachie Fogarty and Jesse Motlop are available to return this weekend. \n\nThe Blues also should go back to one ruckman and try to get their forward-half pressure game back, given it has dropped away significantly. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Clearance domination and midfield start__\n\nCollingwood’s midfield got the side off to a cracking start on Saturday.\n\nThe Pies kicked eight of the first 11 goals, and that was no doubt thanks to the upper hand they had at the contest.\n\nIn the first quarter alone, the top six ball-winners on the ground were all Magpies, with Nick Daicos (15 disposals), Scott Pendlebury (two goals, 12 disposals) and Jordan De Goey (one goal, 10 touches) doing most of the damage.\n\nGetting so much ball from the centre helped launch Collingwood’s scores as the Crows played catch up for the rest of the game.\n\nEven though the Crows worked back into it, the Pies also won the clearance count 44-36.\n\nIt’s the third week in a row where they’ve really dominated on-ball. If things remain the same, this side will be very hard to beat once talent returns in other areas of the ground.\n\n__Finding enough goalkickers with soldiers going down__\n\nCollingwood was already missing a handful of important forwards on Saturday, and things got worse when Will Hoskin-Elliott (hamstring) and Reef McInnes (concussion) went down with injuries.\n\nSomehow though, the Pies managed to kick a winning score, with nine individual goalkickers chipping in.\n\nOf those players, three were genuine midfielders, while half-back John Noble also got in on the action.\n\nCollingwood share the load as well as any team in the comp and that proved to be the case on Saturday.\n\nIf they can keep doing that while adding the likes of Mihocek, McCreery, Elliott and even McStay back into the team, this offence will go to another level.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Didn’t ever really put the Crows away__\n\nEven though the Magpies got out to a five-goal lead in the second term, they lacked the killer blow to ever put Adelaide away.\n\nThat came back to haunt them in the last quarter as the Crows pressed and even snatched the lead back for a brief moment.\n\nIf they had put the Crows away when they had the chance and cattle available, it never would have been an issue.\n\nWhen you’ve got the momentum, you need to make it count. Things like last week can happen far too easily when the Pies didn’t have a single tall target to kick to in the fourth term at stages, allowing the Crows to lock the ball in their front half.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got (W)right \n\n__Two-metre Peter back in form__ \n\nPeter Wright hadn’t kicked more than two goals since returning from suspension and was coming off a goalless performance against GWS. \n\nHe needed a big game and delivered against North Melbourne in a comfortable 40-point win. Four goals from six shots, as well as 11 hitouts and nine marks is right among the better games he’ll play and inspires confidence for the rest of the season.\n\nWright also enjoyed an equal club-high six inside 50s. Watch out Richmond this week. \n\n__Kept the pressure on__ \n\nThe Bombers had 22 less uncontested possessions than Alastair Clarkson’s North Melbourne but still laid some 56 tackles, 14 more than North Melbourne. \n\nIn a game Essendon was expected to win and win well, effort was clearly still the number one priority, with Brad Scott’s forwards still laying 10 tackles inside 50 to the Roos’ two. \n\nIf the Dons can bring that on a quiet Sunday against North Melbourne, they can do it against the best teams when it counts. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__What happened in the middle?__ \n\nEssendon’s clearance game is the 4th best in the competition, while the Roos rank 13th. \n\nSo for Scott’s midfield to be humbled 28-42, losing both total centre clearances and stoppage clearances, is a surprise. \n\nFor all Richmond’s faults in Round 10, they actually beat Brisbane in the clearance count, adding another fascinating storyline to this Saturday’s Dreamtime. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Jackson one-out in the ruck__ \n\nTeams have found ways to expose Rowan Marshall in recent weeks, with opposition ruckmen putting up big numbers and Luke Jackson was no exception. \n\nHe found 25 disposals, won 39 hit-outs, 10 clearances and laid six tackles. He’s clearly shown his capacity to dominate when given the sole ruck duties.\n\nOf course, Sean Darcy will be needed to spell Jackson and the pair can work together, but it seems clear at this point that the Dockers are at their best with Jackson and Josh Treacy as his backup.\n\n__Midfield mix is working beautifully__ \n\nFremantle smacked St Kilda in the midfield on Saturday night, allowing them to play with a set defence behind them and making it nearly impossible for the Saints to score.\n\nCaleb Serong, Andrew Brayshaw, Hayden Young and Nathan Fyfe as the predominant on-ball quartet was too much for St Kilda to handle, winning the clearances 50-33.\n\nIt’s been their go-to mix all season, with Matthew Johnson the fifth wheel in there and Jaeger O’Meara no longer in there.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Accuracy issues still plague Freo__ \n\nAfter last week’s debacle against the Swans, with the Dockers kicking 4.15, the yips plagued them again against St Kilda.\n\nFreo kicked 4.12 in the second half which ultimately restricted them to just 72 points – a winning score against the Saints but maybe not some other teams. \n\nIt’s one to watch as the season goes on. Jye Amiss the chief offender, kicking 2.5. There are worse problems to have!\n\n*Nic Negrepontis*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Three positional calls__ \n\nMax Holmes to half-back, Gryan Miers playing the connector role and Toby Conway as a full-time ruckman. \n\nOn a disastrous night for the Cats, that trio were clearly Chris Scott’s best players in performing exactly what was hoped. \n\nThe other 19 have got plenty to learn about breaking momentum and playing wet weather footy. \n\nScott’s system also fell apart given Geelong won contest and clearance. Lessons to be taken all round. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Stewart rendered useless again__ \n\nThere are a hundred aspects Geelong got wrong on Thursday, so we won’t harp on here. \n\nBut Round 10 was the second straight game where Tom Stewart again had no impact, despite the footy largely living in Gold Coast’s forward half. \n\nIt’s a hard one to put a finger on. Stewart had 13 intercepts, a clear game-high, but put almost zero pressure on his direct opponent. \n\nHe’s a better player than that and it’s on both Stewart and Scott to get the All-Australian calibre defender back to his impactful best and the Cats not conceding 26 goals. \n\n__Cam Guthrie’s management?__ \n\nIt’s certainly too early to tell, but have the Cats made a mistake getting Cam Guthrie straight back into the senior side? \n\nThe 32-year-old hasn’t dominated in his four games back from injury and on Thursday was subbed off in the third term of the eventual loss with nine touches to his name. \n\nHe wasn’t the only Cat below par. But he’s arguably Geelong’s most important player with Patrick Dangerfield out and a lack of experienced midfielders already and his failure will lead to Geelong’s more often than not. \n\nThe Cats were toothless without Guthrie near his best. \n\n*Seb Mottram*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Midfield dominance__ \n\nYou’ll be hard pressed to find a better performance from two midfielders in the same team in the same win. \n\nNoah Anderson (42 possessions, two goals) and Matt Rowell (35 possessions, eight clearances, 10 tackles) tore the Cats to shred at the contest and were Chris Scott’s biggest headache all night. \n\nThey weren’t up against much, but the Suns will love what they’re seeing from the developing stars. Throw in Ned Moyle’s impressive effort and 32 touches for Touk Miller and you’ve got a complete and utter midfield mauling. \n\n__Good call from Dimma__ \n\nEyebrows were raised when Damien Hardwick rested co-captain Jarrod Witts for the Suns’ biggest game of the year. \n\nBut young ruck Ned Moyle delivered in spades and justified the gutsy call. Moyle had a clear team-high 17 contested possessions and a whopping 42 hitouts, also getting busy to lay five tackles. \n\nAt the very least, Moyle – who is out of contract at the end of 2024 – had just seen his trade value jump. He continues to prove himself at AFL level on the rare occasions he gets a gig.\n\n__Where did King come from?!__ \n\nJust quietly, Ben King is a co-leader of the Coleman Medal! \n\nThe 23-year-old is in a four-way tie for first and plenty of rusted on footy fans would find themselves surprised to see King atop the goal kicking list. \n\nHe flew under the radar again on Thursday. Not his best game, but the key forward found a way to boot four goals in slippery conditions. \n\nHe’s looking a far better player than his twin brother at the current time. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Disappointment in contested footy__ \n\nDespite starring performances in the middle and blistering periods of attack, the Suns weren’t willing to get as busy as their opponents in the heat. \n\nAgainst a Cats lineup lacking plenty, especially through the midfield, the Suns still lost contested footy and clearances. \n\nHardwick’s men rank in the top six for both this year, so perhaps they’re due a mulligan. But don’t let it become the precedent. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Stars played well__\n\nToby Greene, Jesse Hogan, Lachie Whitfield, Harry Himmelberg, Tom Green and Stephen Coniglio and were among the Giants’ very best players.\n\nGreene kicked three goals from 17 touches, Hogan also booted three goals and took seven marks, Whitfield had 31 touches and 761 metres gained, Himmelberg had 30 disposals and 12 marks, Green amassed 29 touches and seven clearances and Conigio had 22 and six tackles. \n\nCal Ward did a great job in restricting Marcus Bontempelli to 10 disposals in the first three quarters which is a very impressive effort. \n\nThe reliable heads just didn’t have enough assistance from the younger and fringe players who had contributed so well in the first handful of games. \n\nIt’s a small win on an otherwise dirty weekend. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Did not play the conditions well__\n\nThe Giants were unable to match the Bulldogs in the wet conditions. \n\nAdam Kingsley lamented the fact that his side was easily beaten at clearances (38-46) and stoppage clearances (28-41).\n\nHe also felt they were not clever enough with the way they attempted to move the ball on a soggy surface. \n\nThey were unable to get their running game up and going which saw them produce just 41 inside 50s, hurting their ability to score.\n\n__Toothless in attack__\n\nGWS kicked 100 or more points in five of its first seven games of 2024.\n\nHave the Giants been worked out since?\n\nKingsley’s side has returned scores of 69, 62 and most recently 43, suggesting they are toothless in attack right now.\n\nToby Greene and Jesse Hogan kicked all six of their goals against the Dogs, highlighting a lack of assistance from those around them.\n\nThe once free-flowing Giants have been curtailed of late which has coincided with three defeats on the trot and four losses in their last five. \n\n__On a side note…__\n\nDid we overplay the Giants’ form earlier in the season?\n\nThey beat a hungover Collingwood side in Opening Round before picking up wins over North Melbourne, West Coast, Gold Coast (in Adelaide) and St Kilda - three of those sides are in the bottom five. \n\nThey did annihilate the Brisbane Lions, but it does seem perhaps their form has been somewhat overrated. \n\nThe Giants have a testing month ahead - Geelong at GMHBA, Hawthorn in Tassie, Port Adelaide and Sydney at home. We will truly know where they are by the completion of Round 15. \n\nKingsley’s side started the season nicely, but they’ve been well below their best over the last month or so. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Had it won (before they lost it)__ \n\nLet’s take the glass half-full approach. For two and a half quarters, the Hawks dominated a club with top-four aspirations on their own deck. \n\nClearances, contested footy, territory you name it, Hawthorn had it. That’s no mean feat and even though the Hawks lost, it’s a far better performance than most believed they could produce. \n\nSam Mitchell is the coach that’s touted to be, take nothing away from that. \n\n__Blake bloody Hardwick__ \n\nIf you had Blake Hardwick to kick four goals in the opening quarter, hats off. \n\nGiven he’d only kicked one goal since Round 5, the performance he put forward on Sunday afternoon at a roaring Adelaide Oval certainly came as a surprise. \n\nHe finished with five majors, 23 touches and two direct goal assists as the Hawks opened up a decent gap. \n\nIf Mitchell had his time again, you’d expect him to keep Hardwick – typically a small defender – ahead of the footy instead of throwing him down back late. \n\nBut alas, giving Hardwick the license to roam inside 50 gave Hawthorn a great shot. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__The entire last quarter__ \n\nMake no mistake, this game wasn’t only lost in the last 30 seconds. \n\nHawthorn went back into its shell for the entire last term, registering only four inside 50s for the quarter. Playing that brand of footy is asking to have your 28-point margin cut into and that’s exactly what happened. \n\nThere was no forward structure, and Hardwick – his side’s primary hope ahead of the ball – found himself deep in defence alongside Will Day, the Hawks’ best midfielder on the day. \n\nA lack of intent crucified the Hawks and Mitchell paid the price. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Won the ball at the source__\n\nDespite the 35-point loss, Melbourne did win the ball at the source.\n\nThe Demons beat the Eagles 41-36 at clearance thanks to a 28-21 stoppage clearance superiority.\n\nClayton Oliver had nine clearances, Max Gawn had six, and Jack Viney and Christian Petracca had five each. The usual suspects dd the job around the ball, but it fell over post clearance. \n\nAlthough they did the win the first ball more often than not, the Dees had their game taken away from them by the more desperate and hungrier Eagles. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Untidy by foot and blunt in attack__\n\nThe Demons struggled to conjure meaningful inside 50s across the course of the contest. \n\nYes, West Coast’s pressure was high, but the Dees were simply unable to use the ball effectively enough.\n\nTheir disposal efficiency was less than 67 per cent and they could only managed 36 inside 50s - their lowest return of the season so far. \n\nThose numbers simply did not give their forwards enough opportunity to score.\n\nAfter gaining the ascendency in the third term with a positive inside 50 count (+4), the Demons shot themselves in the foot by kicking 3.7, while the Eagles kicked 5.0.\n\n__Conceded 100+ in rare occurrence__ \n\nThe Demons conceded over 100 points for the first time this year and just the third time in a season and a half.\n\nThe 105 points kicked by the Eagles was the first time Simon Goodwin’s backline has been properly breached in 2024.\n\nA lot of that had to do with the fact that Jake Lever went off concussed in the first quarter which derailed and disorganised their defence. \n\n__Missed the chance to go third__\n\nA win would have put the Dees into third position.\n\nPlaying the last fixture of Round 10, they knew that four points would have placed them behind only Sydney and Essendon.\n\nBut they couldn’t get the job done and now sit in the middle of the pack with five other clubs on 24 points.\n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Davies-Uniacke is back__ \n\nIt hasn’t been a great season to date for LDU, but his performance against Essendon on the weekend was one of his career best.\n\nThe midfielder was the number one rated player on the ground, well clear of the next highest (Dyson Heppell), per Wheelo Ratings.\n\nHe won seven clearances, kicked two goals and had 27 disposals, but looked his explosive best.\n\n__Harry Sheezel’s best game as a midfielder__ \n\nIt’s taken Sheezel a few weeks to find his feet as an on-baller, but he really delivered on Sunday afternoon.\n\nHe found 32 disposals – back to his usual prolific nature – two goal assists, eight score involvements, six inside 50s and nine marks. \n\nIt’s a good sign for the Roos, particularly given the issues they’ve had in the midfield generally this season. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Second half wobbles__ \n\nThe second half on Sunday was hugely disappointing given the Roos were right in this game.\n\nThey went into the half-time break down seven points having traded blows and kept pace with the Bombers.\n\nFrom there, they conceded 9.5 and only managed four goals themselves, and were blown out in the fourth term. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Huge comeback__\n\nPort Adelaide were 41 points down 23 minutes into the third term on Sunday.\n\nThe likelihood of winning from there could have only been a couple of per cent, but they got there.\n\nThis team absolutely believes that 30 minutes of good footy can get them over the top of anyone, that’s how good they are once they click into top gear.\n\nUnfortunately for Hawthorn, that happened late at the Adelaide Oval as the Power kicked the final six goals to win in ridiculous fashion.\n\nThat comeback was led by Zak Butters, who collected a ridiculous 17 disposals in the last term alone.\n\nThey can thank him for securing the four points in this one.\n\n__The final minute__\n\nWith 35 seconds left, Port Adelaide were down by 11 points.\n\nLiterally EVERYTHING had to go right from there to win, and somehow it did.\n\nFirstly, Willie Rioli nailed a long set shot from a free kick. He also went back and kicked it as quickly as he possibly could to make sure time didn’t roll off the clock.\n\nAfter that, the Power had 22 seconds to find one more goal. \n\nWith the ball at a centre stoppage, Willem Drew farmed the ball out to Zak Butters who launched it forward.\n\nA contest ensued 30 metres out from goal directly in front. After the ball spilled out to a Hawthorn player, the ball sat on the ground for Darcy Byrne-Jones to soccer … the rest is history.\n\nIt was as perfect as the Power could have hoped for things to go in those dying moments.\n\nThey knew exactly what they had to do and executed perfectly.\n\nHats off to Ken Hinkley and the coaching staff, as well as the players for clicking into an all-out attack mentality to grab the win.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Sluggish start__\n\nPort Adelaide were incredibly slow out of the blocks on Sunday.\n\nThe Power allowed the Hawks to kick seven of the first eight goals, an incredibly disappointing effort given Hawthorn is a rebuilding side without some of their best players.\n\nEven though they were able to rope them back late and get over the line, they won’t want to give up that kind of start against any kind of finals contender.\n\nIf they do, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll be able to get back into it.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got \n\n__Youngsters got valuable minutes__ \n\nRichmond had 11 players with less than 40 games of experience.\n\nIt certainly was a proper footballing lesson that they received, which hopefully they’ll take plenty away from.\n\nKane McAuliffe played well in his third game, picking up 20 disposals and laying five tackles \n\nThe Tigers also managed to win clearances and centre clearances. But that was about the only stat line they won, and clearly had no bearing on the outcome. \n\nThere wasn’t much else to write home about. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Questionable effort and intent__ \n\nIt’s hard to pinpoint one exact area where the Tigers are being brushed aside.\n\nOne thing that has been alarming is the lack of pressure around the ball.\n\nThe Lions, despite losing clearances, just moved the ball so easily around the Gabba - and it made Adem Yze’s side look silly at times.\n\nRichmond’s drop-off in effort and intent over the last two weeks has been surprising, seeing as it was keeping them competitive in most games prior. \n\n__Somehow more injuries__\n\nThe amount of injuries Richmond has copped in 2024 is astounding. \n\nThey entered the Lions fixture with 15 players on the injury list. Mykelti Lefau hurt his jaw (thankfully it is not broken) and Rhyan Mansell was concussed during the game which did not help the cause. \n\nUnfortunately, ruckman Sam Naismith went down with another ACL injury in the VFL on Sunday, further compounding the club’s personnel issues. \n\nIt’s been a season of hell on the injury front at Punt Road. \n\n__Can’t score, can’t defend__\n\nThe Tigers’ lack of scoring ability has been one area that has plagued them in 2024.\n\nThey have scored just 622 points in 10 games at an average of 62.2 which is the lowest in the league. \n\nThey have failed to kick 50 points in each of the last four games.\n\nRichmond’s defence is also a glaring issue. They’ve conceded 1044 points at an average of 104.4 points per game. Only North Melbourne has conceded more points. \n\nIt’s time for Adem Yze to get tough with the playing group to avoid this season being even more of a disaster than it already is. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__The Swans have unearthed another tagger__ \n\nThe Sydney Swans have had a knack of uncovering undervalued role players and transforming them into the best tagger in the game. In 2022, it was Ryan Clarke who was tasked with shutting the opposition's most damaging player to great effect. \n\nThis year, it’s new recruit James Jordon who added Sam Walsh to his growing list of scalps. Walsh was unable find any rhythm or space in his game as he was held to 20 disposals (27.2 season average), three clearances (3.9), four score involvements (7.3) and one goal at 55% disposal efficiency (64.2%). \n\nJordon was able to find plenty of ball himself in the meantime with 16 touches, six tackles, three clearances, six score involvements and a goal. After shutting down Jordan Clark at Fremantle and Lachie Whitfield at the Giants, the Western Bulldogs will face a nervous wait to see who his next target will be. \n\n__The Chad lights it up for Marngrook__ \n\nChad Warner tore Carlton to shreds on Friday night with one of the best individual performances of the season to take home the player of the match award. Warmer amassed a team-high 28 disposals, 14 score involvements, 10 marks, 10 contested possessions, 721 metres gained and 3.2. \n\n__Running power overwhelms Carlton__ \n\nCarlton had no answer for the running speed and attacking play from the Swans whose midfielders and half back line ran circles around Michael Voss’ men. Sydney’s 23 players gained 6,158 metres compared to Calrton’s 5,621. \n\nThe Swans recorded a remarkable 17 running bounces on Friday night including nine alone from Chad Warner. There is no shame in Carlton being unable to contain the Swans’ run and carry with Sydney having the second most running bounces in the competition with 84. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__A concerning slow start __\n\nThe Swans found themselves 26 points behind midway through the first term and it could’ve been far worse if Harry McKay hadn’t missed from straight in front. Whilst the Swans went on to kick 13 of the 14 goals, John Longmire and the Swans should not sweep the slow start under the rug. \n\n*Charles Goodsir* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Josh Battle continues to shine in a contract year__\n\nSt Kilda will clearly be hoping to lock defender Josh Battle in long term as he remains a sturdy part of the defensive structures.\n\nBattle took 12 marks to go with 17 disposals in the loss to Freo, and is putting together an incredibly strong month. \n\nThings are going wrong for the Saints generally, but Battle has certainly carrying his load. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__St Kilda’s forward line is toothless__ \n\nMattaes Phillipou – four disposals, one goal – can’t find the footy.\n\nMax King – 10 disposals, goalless – is shockingly out of form. \n\nLiam Henry has been slow in re-integrating post injury, Lance Collard can’t be expected to find much of the footy and Anthony Caminiti comes in and kicks two goals, but likely makes way again for Tim Membrey.\n\nMitchito Owens kicks three, but only has eight disposals? How does that happen? \n\nSt Kilda needs to drastically adjust what they’re doing inside 50 and get these top-end players involved. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Harley Reid… again.__\n\nThe scariest part of Harley Reid’s ascendance is that this is likely the worst he is going to be in his career.\n\nThe young Eagle was absolutely electric against the Demons, dominating for stretches at a time and putting together a single-game highlight reel that would rival many players’ career highlights.\n\nReid has singlehandedly revitalised the entirety of West Coast, and the direst situation in the AFL has suddenly become full of optimism.\n\n__Jake Waterman is unstoppable__\n\nOn current form, there is arguably no better forward in the AFL than Jake Waterman.\n\nThat is not a sentence that many would have expected to exist coming into the season.\n\nAfter another bag of five against Melbourne, Waterman moves into equal-first in the Coleman race with 29 goals, with 23 of those coming in the last five games.\n\nWhile he is undoubtedly riding an unbelievable hot streak, the forward is playing a brand of footy that could conceivably span through the entire season, dominating aerial contests regardless of opponent.\n\nIt will be fascinating to see how Adam Simpson balances the forward line once Oscar Allen returns, as the right combination could suddenly make the Eagles’ attack look very scary.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Not slamming the door early__\n\nIt’s hard to nitpick a comprehensive victory over a premiership contender, other than the fact that it should have been even more comprehensive.\n\nThe Eagles led the Demons by 13 points going into the main break, despite having eight more scoring shots in the first half.\n\nWest Coast’s inaccuracy kept Melbourne in the game early on, and if they had kicked 10.5 rather than 7.8 in that opening half they could have completely slammed the door.\n\nOtherwise, it was a completely dominant display from the Eagles, with the 35-point margin arguably flattering the Demons.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n\n\n__Dominance everywhere but the scoreboard__\n\nIn almost every single facet of the game, this had the makings of a comfortable thrashing.\n\nThe Bulldogs easily came out on top in the clearance game, contested possessions and inside 50 count, all while forcing the Giants to play an unfamiliar, slow brand of football with a strong defensive structure.\n\nIt was the kind of performance that answered the bulk of concerns that had been levelled at the Bulldogs all season long and reaffirms their case for finals just weeks after they seemed out of reach.\n\nWith a tough stretch ahead of them, including games against the Swans and Magpies in back-to-back weeks, it’s time for the Bulldogs to prove that this display against GWS wasn’t an aberration.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Kicking accuracy__\n\nEven considering the slippery conditions, this was one of the worst goalkicking performances of the season.\n\nThe Bulldogs racked up a monstrous 30 scoring shots, 17 more than the Giants, and only managed a 27-point victory.\n\nA scoreline of 8.22, highlighted by a goalless opening term is simply unacceptable for any AFL team, let alone a Dogs side that is now back in the thick of the finals hunt.\n\nExpect plenty of kicking drills to be on the agenda down at Whitten Oval this week.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n[](https://www.sen.com.au/app/)","date":"2024-05-20T16:05+10:00","author":"SEN","seoTitle":"What they got right and wrong: Each club’s wins

they got right and wrong: Each club’s wins and woes from Round 10","slug":"what-they-got-right-and-wrong-each-clubs-wins-and-woes-from-round-10","summary":"The positives and negatives from the weekend.","content":"What did your club get right and what did your club get wrong in Round 10?\n\nWe had nine matches across the weekend with some remarkable finishes, some huge spankings and some massive individual performances.\n\nSee our assessments below:\n\n\n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Final term comeback and staying in it all day__\n\nAdelaide never gave in on Saturday at the MCG despite trailing for 109 of 121 minutes.\n\nThey easily could have dropped their head early on, particularly after the Pies skipped out to a 30-point lead in the second term after kicking six goals in a row.\n\nMany other teams, particularly from interstate, would have dropped their bundle in enemy territory against the reigning premiers.\n\nBut not Adelaide. Even though they didn’t win, they gave themselves enough chances to.\n\nThis team still believes their best is good enough to match it with the best, and they’re not wrong.\n\nIt’s one small thing to hang their hat on.\n\n__Getting the ball inside 50__\n\nThe Crows gave their forwards enough opportunities to win Saturday’s game, going inside 50 on 58 occasions to Collingwood’s 49.\n\nIn the final quarter alone, they went in 16 times to Collingwood’s nine. That’s where they really had the chance to win.\n\nLooking at expected score as well, the Crows only were behind 68.3 to 67.6, proving that the result was really a coinflip as the Magpies came up clutch.\n\nOn other occasions, those inside 50s will result in more scores and the Crows will get more reward for their efforts.\n\nIt was a defeat, but one they’ll take a lot of positives from.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Not sending anyone to Daicos in the first half__\n\nAdelaide should never have let Nick Daicos run free for the first half on Saturday.\n\nI mean, he’s a top two or three player in the competition on form and is only building into his season now.\n\nThe Pies superstar had a ridiculous 10 clearances and 24 disposals in the first half alone.\n\nWhile Jordan Dawson sat on him at stoppage in the second half, restricting him somewhat to four clearances and 17 disposals from then on, most of the damage was already done.\n\nWe’re not saying they should have tagged Daicos outright, but he’s one of a couple of players in the league that you need to put time into or else you will bleed.\n\nIn a game that was so tight in the end, it was just about the difference in the result.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Selfless Lions__ \n\nThe Lions shared the ball around at will, given the lack of Richmond pressure that came their way. \n\nThey were able to do as they pleased in and around forward 50, highlighted by Lachie Neale’s remarkable six goal assists.\n\nLogan Morris, Eric Hipwood, Joe Daniher and Jarrod Berry all had two goal assists each and the general finding of a teammate in a better position was evident all night. \n\nDespite two bags of five from Kai Lohmann and Charlie Cameron, their 26 goals were spread across 12 players which is a great sign for Chris Fagan. \n\n__Finishing was on fire__ \n\nBrisbane kicked 26.7 in a damaging display of finishing and accuracy. \n\nBefore Saturday night, the Lions had only kicked more goals than behinds in two matches in 2024. \n\nIt helps when you are afforded so much time and space to be able to conjure constant shots at goal, but they were able to put them away - something that has evaded them for much of the campaign. \n\n__Lohmann breaks out, Ah Chee delivers__ \n\nHe’s been bubbling away with some solid performances in the senior side this year, but Lohmann produced the best game of his career. \n\nLohmann had a nice fill-up with five goals from 14 disposals and seven marks, doing the damage early with a pair of majors in the first term. \n\nIt is normally the usual suspects whenever the Lions have a win, so it was nice to see an emerging player, in just his 18th AFL game, shine so brightly. \n\nCallum Ah Chee also got in on the act again with 19 disposals and 12 marks. \n\nHis hanger in the second quarter was a thing of beauty. \n\n__Relentless and ruthless all night__\n\nThe Lions jumped out of the blocks with seven first-quarter goals to Richmond’s zero.\n\nBut it wasn’t a one off.\n\nThey kept their foot on the throat of the Tigers, piling on six goals in the second, eight in the third and five more in the last. \n\nIt was a relentless and ruthless performance, perhaps the one that will truly kickstart their run towards finals. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Hipwood report and clearance numbers__ \n\nIt’s hard to find any woes in a 119-point win.\n\nThe only negative we can find is the tackle by Eric Hipwood on Nick Vlastuin which led to a one-week suspension (pending any possible Lions appeal). \n\nSomehow they were also beaten in clearances (35-36) and centre clearances (11-16), but obviously those numbers had zero impact on the game. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Zac Williams to half forward__ \n\nZac Williams has mostly struggled to find form in defence this year and has looked half the player he was before the ACL injury.\n\nThe Blues moved Williams to half forward in this one given the mountain of injuries they have to their forwards and he looked good early.\n\nHe was moved around following Jacob Weitering’s injury, but it was a role worth persisting with.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Carlton’s midfield is too slow__ \n\nSydney isn’t the first team to exploit Carlton when they play all of Cripps, Kennedy and Hewett, but it was particularly evident on Friday night.\n\nThe Swans did as they pleased at centre bounces and when the ball went their way, they were off to the races.\n\nCarlton clearly noticed the issue, trying Corey Durdin on-ball at stages, but that’s not the answer either.\n\nThe Blues need more dynamic players in the middle and Elijah Hollands is surely the one to receive a few opportunities in Adam Cerra’s absence. \n\n__Too many forwards don’t touch the footy__ \n\nCorey Durdin and Orazio Fantasia both played full games of footy on Thursday night for a combined 10 disposals, four tackles and 0.1.\n\nTom De Koning also spent 80 per cent of the game forward as Marc Pittonet assumes full control of the ruck – De Koning had six disposals, one mark and didn’t hit the scoreboard.\n\nCarlton needs to revamp their forward mix and needs desperately to hope Lachie Fogarty and Jesse Motlop are available to return this weekend. \n\nThe Blues also should go back to one ruckman and try to get their forward-half pressure game back, given it has dropped away significantly. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Clearance domination and midfield start__\n\nCollingwood’s midfield got the side off to a cracking start on Saturday.\n\nThe Pies kicked eight of the first 11 goals, and that was no doubt thanks to the upper hand they had at the contest.\n\nIn the first quarter alone, the top six ball-winners on the ground were all Magpies, with Nick Daicos (15 disposals), Scott Pendlebury (two goals, 12 disposals) and Jordan De Goey (one goal, 10 touches) doing most of the damage.\n\nGetting so much ball from the centre helped launch Collingwood’s scores as the Crows played catch up for the rest of the game.\n\nEven though the Crows worked back into it, the Pies also won the clearance count 44-36.\n\nIt’s the third week in a row where they’ve really dominated on-ball. If things remain the same, this side will be very hard to beat once talent returns in other areas of the ground.\n\n__Finding enough goalkickers with soldiers going down__\n\nCollingwood was already missing a handful of important forwards on Saturday, and things got worse when Will Hoskin-Elliott (hamstring) and Reef McInnes (concussion) went down with injuries.\n\nSomehow though, the Pies managed to kick a winning score, with nine individual goalkickers chipping in.\n\nOf those players, three were genuine midfielders, while half-back John Noble also got in on the action.\n\nCollingwood share the load as well as any team in the comp and that proved to be the case on Saturday.\n\nIf they can keep doing that while adding the likes of Mihocek, McCreery, Elliott and even McStay back into the team, this offence will go to another level.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Didn’t ever really put the Crows away__\n\nEven though the Magpies got out to a five-goal lead in the second term, they lacked the killer blow to ever put Adelaide away.\n\nThat came back to haunt them in the last quarter as the Crows pressed and even snatched the lead back for a brief moment.\n\nIf they had put the Crows away when they had the chance and cattle available, it never would have been an issue.\n\nWhen you’ve got the momentum, you need to make it count. Things like last week can happen far too easily when the Pies didn’t have a single tall target to kick to in the fourth term at stages, allowing the Crows to lock the ball in their front half.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got (W)right \n\n__Two-metre Peter back in form__ \n\nPeter Wright hadn’t kicked more than two goals since returning from suspension and was coming off a goalless performance against GWS. \n\nHe needed a big game and delivered against North Melbourne in a comfortable 40-point win. Four goals from six shots, as well as 11 hitouts and nine marks is right among the better games he’ll play and inspires confidence for the rest of the season.\n\nWright also enjoyed an equal club-high six inside 50s. Watch out Richmond this week. \n\n__Kept the pressure on__ \n\nThe Bombers had 22 less uncontested possessions than Alastair Clarkson’s North Melbourne but still laid some 56 tackles, 14 more than North Melbourne. \n\nIn a game Essendon was expected to win and win well, effort was clearly still the number one priority, with Brad Scott’s forwards still laying 10 tackles inside 50 to the Roos’ two. \n\nIf the Dons can bring that on a quiet Sunday against North Melbourne, they can do it against the best teams when it counts. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__What happened in the middle?__ \n\nEssendon’s clearance game is the 4th best in the competition, while the Roos rank 13th. \n\nSo for Scott’s midfield to be humbled 28-42, losing both total centre clearances and stoppage clearances, is a surprise. \n\nFor all Richmond’s faults in Round 10, they actually beat Brisbane in the clearance count, adding another fascinating storyline to this Saturday’s Dreamtime. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Jackson one-out in the ruck__ \n\nTeams have found ways to expose Rowan Marshall in recent weeks, with opposition ruckmen putting up big numbers and Luke Jackson was no exception. \n\nHe found 25 disposals, won 39 hit-outs, 10 clearances and laid six tackles. He’s clearly shown his capacity to dominate when given the sole ruck duties.\n\nOf course, Sean Darcy will be needed to spell Jackson and the pair can work together, but it seems clear at this point that the Dockers are at their best with Jackson and Josh Treacy as his backup.\n\n__Midfield mix is working beautifully__ \n\nFremantle smacked St Kilda in the midfield on Saturday night, allowing them to play with a set defence behind them and making it nearly impossible for the Saints to score.\n\nCaleb Serong, Andrew Brayshaw, Hayden Young and Nathan Fyfe as the predominant on-ball quartet was too much for St Kilda to handle, winning the clearances 50-33.\n\nIt’s been their go-to mix all season, with Matthew Johnson the fifth wheel in there and Jaeger O’Meara no longer in there.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Accuracy issues still plague Freo__ \n\nAfter last week’s debacle against the Swans, with the Dockers kicking 4.15, the yips plagued them again against St Kilda.\n\nFreo kicked 4.12 in the second half which ultimately restricted them to just 72 points – a winning score against the Saints but maybe not some other teams. \n\nIt’s one to watch as the season goes on. Jye Amiss the chief offender, kicking 2.5. There are worse problems to have!\n\n*Nic Negrepontis*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Three positional calls__ \n\nMax Holmes to half-back, Gryan Miers playing the connector role and Toby Conway as a full-time ruckman. \n\nOn a disastrous night for the Cats, that trio were clearly Chris Scott’s best players in performing exactly what was hoped. \n\nThe other 19 have got plenty to learn about breaking momentum and playing wet weather footy. \n\nScott’s system also fell apart given Geelong won contest and clearance. Lessons to be taken all round. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Stewart rendered useless again__ \n\nThere are a hundred aspects Geelong got wrong on Thursday, so we won’t harp on here. \n\nBut Round 10 was the second straight game where Tom Stewart again had no impact, despite the footy largely living in Gold Coast’s forward half. \n\nIt’s a hard one to put a finger on. Stewart had 13 intercepts, a clear game-high, but put almost zero pressure on his direct opponent. \n\nHe’s a better player than that and it’s on both Stewart and Scott to get the All-Australian calibre defender back to his impactful best and the Cats not conceding 26 goals. \n\n__Cam Guthrie’s management?__ \n\nIt’s certainly too early to tell, but have the Cats made a mistake getting Cam Guthrie straight back into the senior side? \n\nThe 32-year-old hasn’t dominated in his four games back from injury and on Thursday was subbed off in the third term of the eventual loss with nine touches to his name. \n\nHe wasn’t the only Cat below par. But he’s arguably Geelong’s most important player with Patrick Dangerfield out and a lack of experienced midfielders already and his failure will lead to Geelong’s more often than not. \n\nThe Cats were toothless without Guthrie near his best. \n\n*Seb Mottram*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Midfield dominance__ \n\nYou’ll be hard pressed to find a better performance from two midfielders in the same team in the same win. \n\nNoah Anderson (42 possessions, two goals) and Matt Rowell (35 possessions, eight clearances, 10 tackles) tore the Cats to shred at the contest and were Chris Scott’s biggest headache all night. \n\nThey weren’t up against much, but the Suns will love what they’re seeing from the developing stars. Throw in Ned Moyle’s impressive effort and 32 touches for Touk Miller and you’ve got a complete and utter midfield mauling. \n\n__Good call from Dimma__ \n\nEyebrows were raised when Damien Hardwick rested co-captain Jarrod Witts for the Suns’ biggest game of the year. \n\nBut young ruck Ned Moyle delivered in spades and justified the gutsy call. Moyle had a clear team-high 17 contested possessions and a whopping 42 hitouts, also getting busy to lay five tackles. \n\nAt the very least, Moyle – who is out of contract at the end of 2024 – had just seen his trade value jump. He continues to prove himself at AFL level on the rare occasions he gets a gig.\n\n__Where did King come from?!__ \n\nJust quietly, Ben King is a co-leader of the Coleman Medal! \n\nThe 23-year-old is in a four-way tie for first and plenty of rusted on footy fans would find themselves surprised to see King atop the goal kicking list. \n\nHe flew under the radar again on Thursday. Not his best game, but the key forward found a way to boot four goals in slippery conditions. \n\nHe’s looking a far better player than his twin brother at the current time. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Disappointment in contested footy__ \n\nDespite starring performances in the middle and blistering periods of attack, the Suns weren’t willing to get as busy as their opponents in the heat. \n\nAgainst a Cats lineup lacking plenty, especially through the midfield, the Suns still lost contested footy and clearances. \n\nHardwick’s men rank in the top six for both this year, so perhaps they’re due a mulligan. But don’t let it become the precedent. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Stars played well__\n\nToby Greene, Jesse Hogan, Lachie Whitfield, Harry Himmelberg, Tom Green and Stephen Coniglio and were among the Giants’ very best players.\n\nGreene kicked three goals from 17 touches, Hogan also booted three goals and took seven marks, Whitfield had 31 touches and 761 metres gained, Himmelberg had 30 disposals and 12 marks, Green amassed 29 touches and seven clearances and Conigio had 22 and six tackles. \n\nCal Ward did a great job in restricting Marcus Bontempelli to 10 disposals in the first three quarters which is a very impressive effort. \n\nThe reliable heads just didn’t have enough assistance from the younger and fringe players who had contributed so well in the first handful of games. \n\nIt’s a small win on an otherwise dirty weekend. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Did not play the conditions well__\n\nThe Giants were unable to match the Bulldogs in the wet conditions. \n\nAdam Kingsley lamented the fact that his side was easily beaten at clearances (38-46) and stoppage clearances (28-41).\n\nHe also felt they were not clever enough with the way they attempted to move the ball on a soggy surface. \n\nThey were unable to get their running game up and going which saw them produce just 41 inside 50s, hurting their ability to score.\n\n__Toothless in attack__\n\nGWS kicked 100 or more points in five of its first seven games of 2024.\n\nHave the Giants been worked out since?\n\nKingsley’s side has returned scores of 69, 62 and most recently 43, suggesting they are toothless in attack right now.\n\nToby Greene and Jesse Hogan kicked all six of their goals against the Dogs, highlighting a lack of assistance from those around them.\n\nThe once free-flowing Giants have been curtailed of late which has coincided with three defeats on the trot and four losses in their last five. \n\n__On a side note…__\n\nDid we overplay the Giants’ form earlier in the season?\n\nThey beat a hungover Collingwood side in Opening Round before picking up wins over North Melbourne, West Coast, Gold Coast (in Adelaide) and St Kilda - three of those sides are in the bottom five. \n\nThey did annihilate the Brisbane Lions, but it does seem perhaps their form has been somewhat overrated. \n\nThe Giants have a testing month ahead - Geelong at GMHBA, Hawthorn in Tassie, Port Adelaide and Sydney at home. We will truly know where they are by the completion of Round 15. \n\nKingsley’s side started the season nicely, but they’ve been well below their best over the last month or so. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Had it won (before they lost it)__ \n\nLet’s take the glass half-full approach. For two and a half quarters, the Hawks dominated a club with top-four aspirations on their own deck. \n\nClearances, contested footy, territory you name it, Hawthorn had it. That’s no mean feat and even though the Hawks lost, it’s a far better performance than most believed they could produce. \n\nSam Mitchell is the coach that’s touted to be, take nothing away from that. \n\n__Blake bloody Hardwick__ \n\nIf you had Blake Hardwick to kick four goals in the opening quarter, hats off. \n\nGiven he’d only kicked one goal since Round 5, the performance he put forward on Sunday afternoon at a roaring Adelaide Oval certainly came as a surprise. \n\nHe finished with five majors, 23 touches and two direct goal assists as the Hawks opened up a decent gap. \n\nIf Mitchell had his time again, you’d expect him to keep Hardwick – typically a small defender – ahead of the footy instead of throwing him down back late. \n\nBut alas, giving Hardwick the license to roam inside 50 gave Hawthorn a great shot. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__The entire last quarter__ \n\nMake no mistake, this game wasn’t only lost in the last 30 seconds. \n\nHawthorn went back into its shell for the entire last term, registering only four inside 50s for the quarter. Playing that brand of footy is asking to have your 28-point margin cut into and that’s exactly what happened. \n\nThere was no forward structure, and Hardwick – his side’s primary hope ahead of the ball – found himself deep in defence alongside Will Day, the Hawks’ best midfielder on the day. \n\nA lack of intent crucified the Hawks and Mitchell paid the price. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Won the ball at the source__\n\nDespite the 35-point loss, Melbourne did win the ball at the source.\n\nThe Demons beat the Eagles 41-36 at clearance thanks to a 28-21 stoppage clearance superiority.\n\nClayton Oliver had nine clearances, Max Gawn had six, and Jack Viney and Christian Petracca had five each. The usual suspects dd the job around the ball, but it fell over post clearance. \n\nAlthough they did the win the first ball more often than not, the Dees had their game taken away from them by the more desperate and hungrier Eagles. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Untidy by foot and blunt in attack__\n\nThe Demons struggled to conjure meaningful inside 50s across the course of the contest. \n\nYes, West Coast’s pressure was high, but the Dees were simply unable to use the ball effectively enough.\n\nTheir disposal efficiency was less than 67 per cent and they could only managed 36 inside 50s - their lowest return of the season so far. \n\nThose numbers simply did not give their forwards enough opportunity to score.\n\nAfter gaining the ascendency in the third term with a positive inside 50 count (+4), the Demons shot themselves in the foot by kicking 3.7, while the Eagles kicked 5.0.\n\n__Conceded 100+ in rare occurrence__ \n\nThe Demons conceded over 100 points for the first time this year and just the third time in a season and a half.\n\nThe 105 points kicked by the Eagles was the first time Simon Goodwin’s backline has been properly breached in 2024.\n\nA lot of that had to do with the fact that Jake Lever went off concussed in the first quarter which derailed and disorganised their defence. \n\n__Missed the chance to go third__\n\nA win would have put the Dees into third position.\n\nPlaying the last fixture of Round 10, they knew that four points would have placed them behind only Sydney and Essendon.\n\nBut they couldn’t get the job done and now sit in the middle of the pack with five other clubs on 24 points.\n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Davies-Uniacke is back__ \n\nIt hasn’t been a great season to date for LDU, but his performance against Essendon on the weekend was one of his career best.\n\nThe midfielder was the number one rated player on the ground, well clear of the next highest (Dyson Heppell), per Wheelo Ratings.\n\nHe won seven clearances, kicked two goals and had 27 disposals, but looked his explosive best.\n\n__Harry Sheezel’s best game as a midfielder__ \n\nIt’s taken Sheezel a few weeks to find his feet as an on-baller, but he really delivered on Sunday afternoon.\n\nHe found 32 disposals – back to his usual prolific nature – two goal assists, eight score involvements, six inside 50s and nine marks. \n\nIt’s a good sign for the Roos, particularly given the issues they’ve had in the midfield generally this season. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Second half wobbles__ \n\nThe second half on Sunday was hugely disappointing given the Roos were right in this game.\n\nThey went into the half-time break down seven points having traded blows and kept pace with the Bombers.\n\nFrom there, they conceded 9.5 and only managed four goals themselves, and were blown out in the fourth term. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Huge comeback__\n\nPort Adelaide were 41 points down 23 minutes into the third term on Sunday.\n\nThe likelihood of winning from there could have only been a couple of per cent, but they got there.\n\nThis team absolutely believes that 30 minutes of good footy can get them over the top of anyone, that’s how good they are once they click into top gear.\n\nUnfortunately for Hawthorn, that happened late at the Adelaide Oval as the Power kicked the final six goals to win in ridiculous fashion.\n\nThat comeback was led by Zak Butters, who collected a ridiculous 17 disposals in the last term alone.\n\nThey can thank him for securing the four points in this one.\n\n__The final minute__\n\nWith 35 seconds left, Port Adelaide were down by 11 points.\n\nLiterally EVERYTHING had to go right from there to win, and somehow it did.\n\nFirstly, Willie Rioli nailed a long set shot from a free kick. He also went back and kicked it as quickly as he possibly could to make sure time didn’t roll off the clock.\n\nAfter that, the Power had 22 seconds to find one more goal. \n\nWith the ball at a centre stoppage, Willem Drew farmed the ball out to Zak Butters who launched it forward.\n\nA contest ensued 30 metres out from goal directly in front. After the ball spilled out to a Hawthorn player, the ball sat on the ground for Darcy Byrne-Jones to soccer … the rest is history.\n\nIt was as perfect as the Power could have hoped for things to go in those dying moments.\n\nThey knew exactly what they had to do and executed perfectly.\n\nHats off to Ken Hinkley and the coaching staff, as well as the players for clicking into an all-out attack mentality to grab the win.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Sluggish start__\n\nPort Adelaide were incredibly slow out of the blocks on Sunday.\n\nThe Power allowed the Hawks to kick seven of the first eight goals, an incredibly disappointing effort given Hawthorn is a rebuilding side without some of their best players.\n\nEven though they were able to rope them back late and get over the line, they won’t want to give up that kind of start against any kind of finals contender.\n\nIf they do, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll be able to get back into it.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got \n\n__Youngsters got valuable minutes__ \n\nRichmond had 11 players with less than 40 games of experience.\n\nIt certainly was a proper footballing lesson that they received, which hopefully they’ll take plenty away from.\n\nKane McAuliffe played well in his third game, picking up 20 disposals and laying five tackles \n\nThe Tigers also managed to win clearances and centre clearances. But that was about the only stat line they won, and clearly had no bearing on the outcome. \n\nThere wasn’t much else to write home about. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Questionable effort and intent__ \n\nIt’s hard to pinpoint one exact area where the Tigers are being brushed aside.\n\nOne thing that has been alarming is the lack of pressure around the ball.\n\nThe Lions, despite losing clearances, just moved the ball so easily around the Gabba - and it made Adem Yze’s side look silly at times.\n\nRichmond’s drop-off in effort and intent over the last two weeks has been surprising, seeing as it was keeping them competitive in most games prior. \n\n__Somehow more injuries__\n\nThe amount of injuries Richmond has copped in 2024 is astounding. \n\nThey entered the Lions fixture with 15 players on the injury list. Mykelti Lefau hurt his jaw (thankfully it is not broken) and Rhyan Mansell was concussed during the game which did not help the cause. \n\nUnfortunately, ruckman Sam Naismith went down with another ACL injury in the VFL on Sunday, further compounding the club’s personnel issues. \n\nIt’s been a season of hell on the injury front at Punt Road. \n\n__Can’t score, can’t defend__\n\nThe Tigers’ lack of scoring ability has been one area that has plagued them in 2024.\n\nThey have scored just 622 points in 10 games at an average of 62.2 which is the lowest in the league. \n\nThey have failed to kick 50 points in each of the last four games.\n\nRichmond’s defence is also a glaring issue. They’ve conceded 1044 points at an average of 104.4 points per game. Only North Melbourne has conceded more points. \n\nIt’s time for Adem Yze to get tough with the playing group to avoid this season being even more of a disaster than it already is. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__The Swans have unearthed another tagger__ \n\nThe Sydney Swans have had a knack of uncovering undervalued role players and transforming them into the best tagger in the game. In 2022, it was Ryan Clarke who was tasked with shutting the opposition's most damaging player to great effect. \n\nThis year, it’s new recruit James Jordon who added Sam Walsh to his growing list of scalps. Walsh was unable find any rhythm or space in his game as he was held to 20 disposals (27.2 season average), three clearances (3.9), four score involvements (7.3) and one goal at 55% disposal efficiency (64.2%). \n\nJordon was able to find plenty of ball himself in the meantime with 16 touches, six tackles, three clearances, six score involvements and a goal. After shutting down Jordan Clark at Fremantle and Lachie Whitfield at the Giants, the Western Bulldogs will face a nervous wait to see who his next target will be. \n\n__The Chad lights it up for Marngrook__ \n\nChad Warner tore Carlton to shreds on Friday night with one of the best individual performances of the season to take home the player of the match award. Warmer amassed a team-high 28 disposals, 14 score involvements, 10 marks, 10 contested possessions, 721 metres gained and 3.2. \n\n__Running power overwhelms Carlton__ \n\nCarlton had no answer for the running speed and attacking play from the Swans whose midfielders and half back line ran circles around Michael Voss’ men. Sydney’s 23 players gained 6,158 metres compared to Calrton’s 5,621. \n\nThe Swans recorded a remarkable 17 running bounces on Friday night including nine alone from Chad Warner. There is no shame in Carlton being unable to contain the Swans’ run and carry with Sydney having the second most running bounces in the competition with 84. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__A concerning slow start __\n\nThe Swans found themselves 26 points behind midway through the first term and it could’ve been far worse if Harry McKay hadn’t missed from straight in front. Whilst the Swans went on to kick 13 of the 14 goals, John Longmire and the Swans should not sweep the slow start under the rug. \n\n*Charles Goodsir* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Josh Battle continues to shine in a contract year__\n\nSt Kilda will clearly be hoping to lock defender Josh Battle in long term as he remains a sturdy part of the defensive structures.\n\nBattle took 12 marks to go with 17 disposals in the loss to Freo, and is putting together an incredibly strong month. \n\nThings are going wrong for the Saints generally, but Battle has certainly carrying his load. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__St Kilda’s forward line is toothless__ \n\nMattaes Phillipou – four disposals, one goal – can’t find the footy.\n\nMax King – 10 disposals, goalless – is shockingly out of form. \n\nLiam Henry has been slow in re-integrating post injury, Lance Collard can’t be expected to find much of the footy and Anthony Caminiti comes in and kicks two goals, but likely makes way again for Tim Membrey.\n\nMitchito Owens kicks three, but only has eight disposals? How does that happen? \n\nSt Kilda needs to drastically adjust what they’re doing inside 50 and get these top-end players involved. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Harley Reid… again.__\n\nThe scariest part of Harley Reid’s ascendance is that this is likely the worst he is going to be in his career.\n\nThe young Eagle was absolutely electric against the Demons, dominating for stretches at a time and putting together a single-game highlight reel that would rival many players’ career highlights.\n\nReid has singlehandedly revitalised the entirety of West Coast, and the direst situation in the AFL has suddenly become full of optimism.\n\n__Jake Waterman is unstoppable__\n\nOn current form, there is arguably no better forward in the AFL than Jake Waterman.\n\nThat is not a sentence that many would have expected to exist coming into the season.\n\nAfter another bag of five against Melbourne, Waterman moves into equal-first in the Coleman race with 29 goals, with 23 of those coming in the last five games.\n\nWhile he is undoubtedly riding an unbelievable hot streak, the forward is playing a brand of footy that could conceivably span through the entire season, dominating aerial contests regardless of opponent.\n\nIt will be fascinating to see how Adam Simpson balances the forward line once Oscar Allen returns, as the right combination could suddenly make the Eagles’ attack look very scary.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Not slamming the door early__\n\nIt’s hard to nitpick a comprehensive victory over a premiership contender, other than the fact that it should have been even more comprehensive.\n\nThe Eagles led the Demons by 13 points going into the main break, despite having eight more scoring shots in the first half.\n\nWest Coast’s inaccuracy kept Melbourne in the game early on, and if they had kicked 10.5 rather than 7.8 in that opening half they could have completely slammed the door.\n\nOtherwise, it was a completely dominant display from the Eagles, with the 35-point margin arguably flattering the Demons.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n\n\n__Dominance everywhere but the scoreboard__\n\nIn almost every single facet of the game, this had the makings of a comfortable thrashing.\n\nThe Bulldogs easily came out on top in the clearance game, contested possessions and inside 50 count, all while forcing the Giants to play an unfamiliar, slow brand of football with a strong defensive structure.\n\nIt was the kind of performance that answered the bulk of concerns that had been levelled at the Bulldogs all season long and reaffirms their case for finals just weeks after they seemed out of reach.\n\nWith a tough stretch ahead of them, including games against the Swans and Magpies in back-to-back weeks, it’s time for the Bulldogs to prove that this display against GWS wasn’t an aberration.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Kicking accuracy__\n\nEven considering the slippery conditions, this was one of the worst goalkicking performances of the season.\n\nThe Bulldogs racked up a monstrous 30 scoring shots, 17 more than the Giants, and only managed a 27-point victory.\n\nA scoreline of 8.22, highlighted by a goalless opening term is simply unacceptable for any AFL team, let alone a Dogs side that is now back in the thick of the finals hunt.\n\nExpect plenty of kicking drills to be on the agenda down at Whitten Oval this week.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n[](https://www.sen.com.au/app/)","date":"2024-05-20T16:05+10:00","author":"SEN","seoTitle":"What they got right and wrong: Each club’s wins

year and is attracting serious interest from both Western Australian clubs Fremantle and Wet Coast. \n\nWA native Baker recently purchased a $2.2 million waterfront property in Perth, strengthening suggestions that he could be on the way out the Punt Road exit door at season’s end. \n\n\n\nGale indicated that Baker’s house purchase was merely a clever investment and is confident he will commit his future to the club. \n\n“He’s an astute investor, Liam,” Gale said on *SEN’s The Run Home*.\n\n“We’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, but he’s entitled to invest his money, and good on him.\n\n“But he’s a really important player for our footy club and an important part of our future.\n\n“He’s got an important decision to make and we’re confident it will be with us.”\n\nThe versatile and tenacious 26-year-old, who is a two-time premiership player with the Tigers, has played 117 games in yellow and black. \n\nBaker has missed the last two matches with general soreness, but Adem Yze’s injury-hit side will hope to have him back for this Saturday night’s Dreamtime clash with Essendon at the MCG. \n\n__Listen to Gale on Baker and a number of other Tigers topics

\n\nDaniels says West Coast have also tabled a deal to the unrestricted free agent. That offer is only for two years on significantly less money.\n\n*AFL Media’s* Cal Twomey also reported that Geelong and Essendon are among the clubs registering their interest in Yeo.\n\nHe has played eight games in 2024, averaging 23.6 disposals, 7.6 clearances and 5.1 inside 50s.\n\nThe two-time All-Australian hasn’t played more than 12 games in a season since 2019 as he’s been cruelled by various soft tissue injuries.\n\nHe has missed the last two games with a groin issue, but is enjoying his best season in years. \n\n[](https://senstadium.com.au/)\n\n","date":"2024-05-20T12:50+10:00","author":"SEN","seoTitle":"Report: Crows table MONSTER offer to veteran Eagles free agent","seoDescription":"The Crows have reportedly tabled a massive offer for the Eagle.","seoKeywords":"AFL","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"61lbZ5BSS7vf4PBavncJPn","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-20T02:53:18.318Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-20T02:53:18.318Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Elliot Yeo","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/61lbZ5BSS7vf4PBavncJPn/b3b633cd3309dd76351dc5568b3d5654/18AdWC21JE1272.jpg","details":{"size":1464939,"image":{"width":4000,"height":3370}},"fileName":"18AdWC21JE1272.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5uOBi2OdBCeMgICO86cwWG","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:54.508Z","updatedAt":"2018-10-18T02:38:42.586Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":4,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"AFL","bgColour":"0060ff","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"afl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"1cYAcVBtuWQO20Yw6oEASk","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:32:18.365Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:05.855Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"West Coast Eagles","aflId":17,"slug":"west-coast-eagles"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5B9fSevfCCrGOQ98vwWJ3G","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2021-10-06T01:06:55.462Z","updatedAt":"2021-10-06T01:06:55.462Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Adelaide Crows","slug":"adelaide-crows"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"45PJotndJlEZaf9qLV4yoe","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2020-01-29T02:32:26.533Z","updatedAt":"2020-01-29T02:50:33.642Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Sports-News","slug":"sports-news","primary":false}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD"]}}}],"state":"WA","useFeaturedContentFallback":false,"$item":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"7Etp0LvoSVDawQJf5zvoZy","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2019-06-26T05:50:22.080Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T08:43:14.187Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":10704,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"page--home"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Home -

He’s played in six quarters over the last two years where games have been decided by under 12 points and what he’s done in those six quarters, his intercept marking, ability to hold up against momentum has been a bit of a point of difference. \n\n“A lot of these players we’re seeing their work ahead of the ball and seeing their work at clearance and contest, but his ability to hold up behind the footy and be that roadblock (has been the standard).” \n\n__4.

Even though they didn’t win, they gave themselves enough chances to.\n\nThis team still believes their best is good enough to match it with the best, and they’re not wrong.\n\nIt’s one small thing to hang their hat on.\n\n__Getting the ball inside 50__\n\nThe Crows gave their forwards enough opportunities to win Saturday’s game, going inside 50 on 58 occasions to Collingwood’s 49.\n\nIn the final quarter alone, they went in 16 times to Collingwood’s nine. That’s where they really had the chance to win.\n\nLooking at expected score as well, the Crows only were behind 68.3 to 67.6, proving that the result was really a coinflip as the Magpies came up clutch.\n\nOn other occasions, those inside 50s will result in more scores and the Crows will get more reward for their efforts.\n\nIt was a defeat, but one they’ll take a lot of positives from.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Not sending anyone to Daicos in the first half__\n\nAdelaide should never have let Nick Daicos run free for the first half on Saturday.\n\nI mean, he’s a top two or three player in the competition on form and is only building into his season now.\n\nThe Pies superstar had a ridiculous 10 clearances and 24 disposals in the first half alone.\n\nWhile Jordan Dawson sat on him at stoppage in the second half, restricting him somewhat to four clearances and 17 disposals from then on, most of the damage was already done.\n\nWe’re not saying they should have tagged Daicos outright, but he’s one of a couple of players in the league that you need to put time into or else you will bleed.\n\nIn a game that was so tight in the end, it was just about the difference in the result.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Selfless Lions__ \n\nThe Lions shared the ball around at will, given the lack of Richmond pressure that came their way. \n\nThey were able to do as they pleased in and around forward 50, highlighted by Lachie Neale’s remarkable six goal assists.\n\nLogan Morris, Eric Hipwood, Joe Daniher and Jarrod Berry all had two goal assists each and the general finding of a teammate in a better position was evident all night. \n\nDespite two bags of five from Kai Lohmann and Charlie Cameron, their 26 goals were spread across 12 players which is a great sign for Chris Fagan. \n\n__Finishing was on fire__ \n\nBrisbane kicked 26.7 in a damaging display of finishing and accuracy. \n\nBefore Saturday night, the Lions had only kicked more goals than behinds in two matches in 2024. \n\nIt helps when you are afforded so much time and space to be able to conjure constant shots at goal, but they were able to put them away - something that has evaded them for much of the campaign. \n\n__Lohmann breaks out, Ah Chee delivers__ \n\nHe’s been bubbling away with some solid performances in the senior side this year, but Lohmann produced the best game of his career. \n\nLohmann had a nice fill-up with five goals from 14 disposals and seven marks, doing the damage early with a pair of majors in the first term. \n\nIt is normally the usual suspects whenever the Lions have a win, so it was nice to see an emerging player, in just his 18th AFL game, shine so brightly. \n\nCallum Ah Chee also got in on the act again with 19 disposals and 12 marks. \n\nHis hanger in the second quarter was a thing of beauty. \n\n__Relentless and ruthless all night__\n\nThe Lions jumped out of the blocks with seven first-quarter goals to Richmond’s zero.\n\nBut it wasn’t a one off.\n\nThey kept their foot on the throat of the Tigers, piling on six goals in the second, eight in the third and five more in the last. \n\nIt was a relentless and ruthless performance, perhaps the one that will truly kickstart their run towards finals. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Hipwood report and clearance numbers__ \n\nIt’s hard to find any woes in a 119-point win.\n\nThe only negative we can find is the tackle by Eric Hipwood on Nick Vlastuin which led to a one-week suspension (pending any possible Lions appeal). \n\nSomehow they were also beaten in clearances (35-36) and centre clearances (11-16), but obviously those numbers had zero impact on the game. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Zac Williams to half forward__ \n\nZac Williams has mostly struggled to find form in defence this year and has looked half the player he was before the ACL injury.\n\nThe Blues moved Williams to half forward in this one given the mountain of injuries they have to their forwards and he looked good early.\n\nHe was moved around following Jacob Weitering’s injury, but it was a role worth persisting with.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Carlton’s midfield is too slow__ \n\nSydney isn’t the first team to exploit Carlton when they play all of Cripps, Kennedy and Hewett, but it was particularly evident on Friday night.\n\nThe Swans did as they pleased at centre bounces and when the ball went their way, they were off to the races.\n\nCarlton clearly noticed the issue, trying Corey Durdin on-ball at stages, but that’s not the answer either.\n\nThe Blues need more dynamic players in the middle and Elijah Hollands is surely the one to receive a few opportunities in Adam Cerra’s absence. \n\n__Too many forwards don’t touch the footy__ \n\nCorey Durdin and Orazio Fantasia both played full games of footy on Thursday night for a combined 10 disposals, four tackles and 0.1.\n\nTom De Koning also spent 80 per cent of the game forward as Marc Pittonet assumes full control of the ruck – De Koning had six disposals, one mark and didn’t hit the scoreboard.\n\nCarlton needs to revamp their forward mix and needs desperately to hope Lachie Fogarty and Jesse Motlop are available to return this weekend. \n\nThe Blues also should go back to one ruckman and try to get their forward-half pressure game back, given it has dropped away significantly. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Clearance domination and midfield start__\n\nCollingwood’s midfield got the side off to a cracking start on Saturday.\n\nThe Pies kicked eight of the first 11 goals, and that was no doubt thanks to the upper hand they had at the contest.\n\nIn the first quarter alone, the top six ball-winners on the ground were all Magpies, with Nick Daicos (15 disposals), Scott Pendlebury (two goals, 12 disposals) and Jordan De Goey (one goal, 10 touches) doing most of the damage.\n\nGetting so much ball from the centre helped launch Collingwood’s scores as the Crows played catch up for the rest of the game.\n\nEven though the Crows worked back into it, the Pies also won the clearance count 44-36.\n\nIt’s the third week in a row where they’ve really dominated on-ball. If things remain the same, this side will be very hard to beat once talent returns in other areas of the ground.\n\n__Finding enough goalkickers with soldiers going down__\n\nCollingwood was already missing a handful of important forwards on Saturday, and things got worse when Will Hoskin-Elliott (hamstring) and Reef McInnes (concussion) went down with injuries.\n\nSomehow though, the Pies managed to kick a winning score, with nine individual goalkickers chipping in.\n\nOf those players, three were genuine midfielders, while half-back John Noble also got in on the action.\n\nCollingwood share the load as well as any team in the comp and that proved to be the case on Saturday.\n\nIf they can keep doing that while adding the likes of Mihocek, McCreery, Elliott and even McStay back into the team, this offence will go to another level.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Didn’t ever really put the Crows away__\n\nEven though the Magpies got out to a five-goal lead in the second term, they lacked the killer blow to ever put Adelaide away.\n\nThat came back to haunt them in the last quarter as the Crows pressed and even snatched the lead back for a brief moment.\n\nIf they had put the Crows away when they had the chance and cattle available, it never would have been an issue.\n\nWhen you’ve got the momentum, you need to make it count. Things like last week can happen far too easily when the Pies didn’t have a single tall target to kick to in the fourth term at stages, allowing the Crows to lock the ball in their front half.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got (W)right \n\n__Two-metre Peter back in form__ \n\nPeter Wright hadn’t kicked more than two goals since returning from suspension and was coming off a goalless performance against GWS. \n\nHe needed a big game and delivered against North Melbourne in a comfortable 40-point win. Four goals from six shots, as well as 11 hitouts and nine marks is right among the better games he’ll play and inspires confidence for the rest of the season.\n\nWright also enjoyed an equal club-high six inside 50s. Watch out Richmond this week. \n\n__Kept the pressure on__ \n\nThe Bombers had 22 less uncontested possessions than Alastair Clarkson’s North Melbourne but still laid some 56 tackles, 14 more than North Melbourne. \n\nIn a game Essendon was expected to win and win well, effort was clearly still the number one priority, with Brad Scott’s forwards still laying 10 tackles inside 50 to the Roos’ two. \n\nIf the Dons can bring that on a quiet Sunday against North Melbourne, they can do it against the best teams when it counts. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__What happened in the middle?__ \n\nEssendon’s clearance game is the 4th best in the competition, while the Roos rank 13th. \n\nSo for Scott’s midfield to be humbled 28-42, losing both total centre clearances and stoppage clearances, is a surprise. \n\nFor all Richmond’s faults in Round 10, they actually beat Brisbane in the clearance count, adding another fascinating storyline to this Saturday’s Dreamtime. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Jackson one-out in the ruck__ \n\nTeams have found ways to expose Rowan Marshall in recent weeks, with opposition ruckmen putting up big numbers and Luke Jackson was no exception. \n\nHe found 25 disposals, won 39 hit-outs, 10 clearances and laid six tackles. He’s clearly shown his capacity to dominate when given the sole ruck duties.\n\nOf course, Sean Darcy will be needed to spell Jackson and the pair can work together, but it seems clear at this point that the Dockers are at their best with Jackson and Josh Treacy as his backup.\n\n__Midfield mix is working beautifully__ \n\nFremantle smacked St Kilda in the midfield on Saturday night, allowing them to play with a set defence behind them and making it nearly impossible for the Saints to score.\n\nCaleb Serong, Andrew Brayshaw, Hayden Young and Nathan Fyfe as the predominant on-ball quartet was too much for St Kilda to handle, winning the clearances 50-33.\n\nIt’s been their go-to mix all season, with Matthew Johnson the fifth wheel in there and Jaeger O’Meara no longer in there.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Accuracy issues still plague Freo__ \n\nAfter last week’s debacle against the Swans, with the Dockers kicking 4.15, the yips plagued them again against St Kilda.\n\nFreo kicked 4.12 in the second half which ultimately restricted them to just 72 points – a winning score against the Saints but maybe not some other teams. \n\nIt’s one to watch as the season goes on. Jye Amiss the chief offender, kicking 2.5. There are worse problems to have!\n\n*Nic Negrepontis*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Three positional calls__ \n\nMax Holmes to half-back, Gryan Miers playing the connector role and Toby Conway as a full-time ruckman. \n\nOn a disastrous night for the Cats, that trio were clearly Chris Scott’s best players in performing exactly what was hoped. \n\nThe other 19 have got plenty to learn about breaking momentum and playing wet weather footy. \n\nScott’s system also fell apart given Geelong won contest and clearance. Lessons to be taken all round. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Stewart rendered useless again__ \n\nThere are a hundred aspects Geelong got wrong on Thursday, so we won’t harp on here. \n\nBut Round 10 was the second straight game where Tom Stewart again had no impact, despite the footy largely living in Gold Coast’s forward half. \n\nIt’s a hard one to put a finger on. Stewart had 13 intercepts, a clear game-high, but put almost zero pressure on his direct opponent. \n\nHe’s a better player than that and it’s on both Stewart and Scott to get the All-Australian calibre defender back to his impactful best and the Cats not conceding 26 goals. \n\n__Cam Guthrie’s management?__ \n\nIt’s certainly too early to tell, but have the Cats made a mistake getting Cam Guthrie straight back into the senior side? \n\nThe 32-year-old hasn’t dominated in his four games back from injury and on Thursday was subbed off in the third term of the eventual loss with nine touches to his name. \n\nHe wasn’t the only Cat below par. But he’s arguably Geelong’s most important player with Patrick Dangerfield out and a lack of experienced midfielders already and his failure will lead to Geelong’s more often than not. \n\nThe Cats were toothless without Guthrie near his best. \n\n*Seb Mottram*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Midfield dominance__ \n\nYou’ll be hard pressed to find a better performance from two midfielders in the same team in the same win. \n\nNoah Anderson (42 possessions, two goals) and Matt Rowell (35 possessions, eight clearances, 10 tackles) tore the Cats to shred at the contest and were Chris Scott’s biggest headache all night. \n\nThey weren’t up against much, but the Suns will love what they’re seeing from the developing stars. Throw in Ned Moyle’s impressive effort and 32 touches for Touk Miller and you’ve got a complete and utter midfield mauling. \n\n__Good call from Dimma__ \n\nEyebrows were raised when Damien Hardwick rested co-captain Jarrod Witts for the Suns’ biggest game of the year. \n\nBut young ruck Ned Moyle delivered in spades and justified the gutsy call. Moyle had a clear team-high 17 contested possessions and a whopping 42 hitouts, also getting busy to lay five tackles. \n\nAt the very least, Moyle – who is out of contract at the end of 2024 – had just seen his trade value jump. He continues to prove himself at AFL level on the rare occasions he gets a gig.\n\n__Where did King come from?!__ \n\nJust quietly, Ben King is a co-leader of the Coleman Medal! \n\nThe 23-year-old is in a four-way tie for first and plenty of rusted on footy fans would find themselves surprised to see King atop the goal kicking list. \n\nHe flew under the radar again on Thursday. Not his best game, but the key forward found a way to boot four goals in slippery conditions. \n\nHe’s looking a far better player than his twin brother at the current time. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Disappointment in contested footy__ \n\nDespite starring performances in the middle and blistering periods of attack, the Suns weren’t willing to get as busy as their opponents in the heat. \n\nAgainst a Cats lineup lacking plenty, especially through the midfield, the Suns still lost contested footy and clearances. \n\nHardwick’s men rank in the top six for both this year, so perhaps they’re due a mulligan. But don’t let it become the precedent. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Stars played well__\n\nToby Greene, Jesse Hogan, Lachie Whitfield, Harry Himmelberg, Tom Green and Stephen Coniglio and were among the Giants’ very best players.\n\nGreene kicked three goals from 17 touches, Hogan also booted three goals and took seven marks, Whitfield had 31 touches and 761 metres gained, Himmelberg had 30 disposals and 12 marks, Green amassed 29 touches and seven clearances and Conigio had 22 and six tackles. \n\nCal Ward did a great job in restricting Marcus Bontempelli to 10 disposals in the first three quarters which is a very impressive effort. \n\nThe reliable heads just didn’t have enough assistance from the younger and fringe players who had contributed so well in the first handful of games. \n\nIt’s a small win on an otherwise dirty weekend. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Did not play the conditions well__\n\nThe Giants were unable to match the Bulldogs in the wet conditions. \n\nAdam Kingsley lamented the fact that his side was easily beaten at clearances (38-46) and stoppage clearances (28-41).\n\nHe also felt they were not clever enough with the way they attempted to move the ball on a soggy surface. \n\nThey were unable to get their running game up and going which saw them produce just 41 inside 50s, hurting their ability to score.\n\n__Toothless in attack__\n\nGWS kicked 100 or more points in five of its first seven games of 2024.\n\nHave the Giants been worked out since?\n\nKingsley’s side has returned scores of 69, 62 and most recently 43, suggesting they are toothless in attack right now.\n\nToby Greene and Jesse Hogan kicked all six of their goals against the Dogs, highlighting a lack of assistance from those around them.\n\nThe once free-flowing Giants have been curtailed of late which has coincided with three defeats on the trot and four losses in their last five. \n\n__On a side note…__\n\nDid we overplay the Giants’ form earlier in the season?\n\nThey beat a hungover Collingwood side in Opening Round before picking up wins over North Melbourne, West Coast, Gold Coast (in Adelaide) and St Kilda - three of those sides are in the bottom five. \n\nThey did annihilate the Brisbane Lions, but it does seem perhaps their form has been somewhat overrated. \n\nThe Giants have a testing month ahead - Geelong at GMHBA, Hawthorn in Tassie, Port Adelaide and Sydney at home. We will truly know where they are by the completion of Round 15. \n\nKingsley’s side started the season nicely, but they’ve been well below their best over the last month or so. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Had it won (before they lost it)__ \n\nLet’s take the glass half-full approach. For two and a half quarters, the Hawks dominated a club with top-four aspirations on their own deck. \n\nClearances, contested footy, territory you name it, Hawthorn had it. That’s no mean feat and even though the Hawks lost, it’s a far better performance than most believed they could produce. \n\nSam Mitchell is the coach that’s touted to be, take nothing away from that. \n\n__Blake bloody Hardwick__ \n\nIf you had Blake Hardwick to kick four goals in the opening quarter, hats off. \n\nGiven he’d only kicked one goal since Round 5, the performance he put forward on Sunday afternoon at a roaring Adelaide Oval certainly came as a surprise. \n\nHe finished with five majors, 23 touches and two direct goal assists as the Hawks opened up a decent gap. \n\nIf Mitchell had his time again, you’d expect him to keep Hardwick – typically a small defender – ahead of the footy instead of throwing him down back late. \n\nBut alas, giving Hardwick the license to roam inside 50 gave Hawthorn a great shot. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__The entire last quarter__ \n\nMake no mistake, this game wasn’t only lost in the last 30 seconds. \n\nHawthorn went back into its shell for the entire last term, registering only four inside 50s for the quarter. Playing that brand of footy is asking to have your 28-point margin cut into and that’s exactly what happened. \n\nThere was no forward structure, and Hardwick – his side’s primary hope ahead of the ball – found himself deep in defence alongside Will Day, the Hawks’ best midfielder on the day. \n\nA lack of intent crucified the Hawks and Mitchell paid the price. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Won the ball at the source__\n\nDespite the 35-point loss, Melbourne did win the ball at the source.\n\nThe Demons beat the Eagles 41-36 at clearance thanks to a 28-21 stoppage clearance superiority.\n\nClayton Oliver had nine clearances, Max Gawn had six, and Jack Viney and Christian Petracca had five each. The usual suspects dd the job around the ball, but it fell over post clearance. \n\nAlthough they did the win the first ball more often than not, the Dees had their game taken away from them by the more desperate and hungrier Eagles. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Untidy by foot and blunt in attack__\n\nThe Demons struggled to conjure meaningful inside 50s across the course of the contest. \n\nYes, West Coast’s pressure was high, but the Dees were simply unable to use the ball effectively enough.\n\nTheir disposal efficiency was less than 67 per cent and they could only managed 36 inside 50s - their lowest return of the season so far. \n\nThose numbers simply did not give their forwards enough opportunity to score.\n\nAfter gaining the ascendency in the third term with a positive inside 50 count (+4), the Demons shot themselves in the foot by kicking 3.7, while the Eagles kicked 5.0.\n\n__Conceded 100+ in rare occurrence__ \n\nThe Demons conceded over 100 points for the first time this year and just the third time in a season and a half.\n\nThe 105 points kicked by the Eagles was the first time Simon Goodwin’s backline has been properly breached in 2024.\n\nA lot of that had to do with the fact that Jake Lever went off concussed in the first quarter which derailed and disorganised their defence. \n\n__Missed the chance to go third__\n\nA win would have put the Dees into third position.\n\nPlaying the last fixture of Round 10, they knew that four points would have placed them behind only Sydney and Essendon.\n\nBut they couldn’t get the job done and now sit in the middle of the pack with five other clubs on 24 points.\n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Davies-Uniacke is back__ \n\nIt hasn’t been a great season to date for LDU, but his performance against Essendon on the weekend was one of his career best.\n\nThe midfielder was the number one rated player on the ground, well clear of the next highest (Dyson Heppell), per Wheelo Ratings.\n\nHe won seven clearances, kicked two goals and had 27 disposals, but looked his explosive best.\n\n__Harry Sheezel’s best game as a midfielder__ \n\nIt’s taken Sheezel a few weeks to find his feet as an on-baller, but he really delivered on Sunday afternoon.\n\nHe found 32 disposals – back to his usual prolific nature – two goal assists, eight score involvements, six inside 50s and nine marks. \n\nIt’s a good sign for the Roos, particularly given the issues they’ve had in the midfield generally this season. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Second half wobbles__ \n\nThe second half on Sunday was hugely disappointing given the Roos were right in this game.\n\nThey went into the half-time break down seven points having traded blows and kept pace with the Bombers.\n\nFrom there, they conceded 9.5 and only managed four goals themselves, and were blown out in the fourth term. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Huge comeback__\n\nPort Adelaide were 41 points down 23 minutes into the third term on Sunday.\n\nThe likelihood of winning from there could have only been a couple of per cent, but they got there.\n\nThis team absolutely believes that 30 minutes of good footy can get them over the top of anyone, that’s how good they are once they click into top gear.\n\nUnfortunately for Hawthorn, that happened late at the Adelaide Oval as the Power kicked the final six goals to win in ridiculous fashion.\n\nThat comeback was led by Zak Butters, who collected a ridiculous 17 disposals in the last term alone.\n\nThey can thank him for securing the four points in this one.\n\n__The final minute__\n\nWith 35 seconds left, Port Adelaide were down by 11 points.\n\nLiterally EVERYTHING had to go right from there to win, and somehow it did.\n\nFirstly, Willie Rioli nailed a long set shot from a free kick. He also went back and kicked it as quickly as he possibly could to make sure time didn’t roll off the clock.\n\nAfter that, the Power had 22 seconds to find one more goal. \n\nWith the ball at a centre stoppage, Willem Drew farmed the ball out to Zak Butters who launched it forward.\n\nA contest ensued 30 metres out from goal directly in front. After the ball spilled out to a Hawthorn player, the ball sat on the ground for Darcy Byrne-Jones to soccer … the rest is history.\n\nIt was as perfect as the Power could have hoped for things to go in those dying moments.\n\nThey knew exactly what they had to do and executed perfectly.\n\nHats off to Ken Hinkley and the coaching staff, as well as the players for clicking into an all-out attack mentality to grab the win.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Sluggish start__\n\nPort Adelaide were incredibly slow out of the blocks on Sunday.\n\nThe Power allowed the Hawks to kick seven of the first eight goals, an incredibly disappointing effort given Hawthorn is a rebuilding side without some of their best players.\n\nEven though they were able to rope them back late and get over the line, they won’t want to give up that kind of start against any kind of finals contender.\n\nIf they do, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll be able to get back into it.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got \n\n__Youngsters got valuable minutes__ \n\nRichmond had 11 players with less than 40 games of experience.\n\nIt certainly was a proper footballing lesson that they received, which hopefully they’ll take plenty away from.\n\nKane McAuliffe played well in his third game, picking up 20 disposals and laying five tackles \n\nThe Tigers also managed to win clearances and centre clearances. But that was about the only stat line they won, and clearly had no bearing on the outcome. \n\nThere wasn’t much else to write home about. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Questionable effort and intent__ \n\nIt’s hard to pinpoint one exact area where the Tigers are being brushed aside.\n\nOne thing that has been alarming is the lack of pressure around the ball.\n\nThe Lions, despite losing clearances, just moved the ball so easily around the Gabba - and it made Adem Yze’s side look silly at times.\n\nRichmond’s drop-off in effort and intent over the last two weeks has been surprising, seeing as it was keeping them competitive in most games prior. \n\n__Somehow more injuries__\n\nThe amount of injuries Richmond has copped in 2024 is astounding. \n\nThey entered the Lions fixture with 15 players on the injury list. Mykelti Lefau hurt his jaw (thankfully it is not broken) and Rhyan Mansell was concussed during the game which did not help the cause. \n\nUnfortunately, ruckman Sam Naismith went down with another ACL injury in the VFL on Sunday, further compounding the club’s personnel issues. \n\nIt’s been a season of hell on the injury front at Punt Road. \n\n__Can’t score, can’t defend__\n\nThe Tigers’ lack of scoring ability has been one area that has plagued them in 2024.\n\nThey have scored just 622 points in 10 games at an average of 62.2 which is the lowest in the league. \n\nThey have failed to kick 50 points in each of the last four games.\n\nRichmond’s defence is also a glaring issue. They’ve conceded 1044 points at an average of 104.4 points per game. Only North Melbourne has conceded more points. \n\nIt’s time for Adem Yze to get tough with the playing group to avoid this season being even more of a disaster than it already is. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__The Swans have unearthed another tagger__ \n\nThe Sydney Swans have had a knack of uncovering undervalued role players and transforming them into the best tagger in the game. In 2022, it was Ryan Clarke who was tasked with shutting the opposition's most damaging player to great effect. \n\nThis year, it’s new recruit James Jordon who added Sam Walsh to his growing list of scalps. Walsh was unable find any rhythm or space in his game as he was held to 20 disposals (27.2 season average), three clearances (3.9), four score involvements (7.3) and one goal at 55% disposal efficiency (64.2%). \n\nJordon was able to find plenty of ball himself in the meantime with 16 touches, six tackles, three clearances, six score involvements and a goal. After shutting down Jordan Clark at Fremantle and Lachie Whitfield at the Giants, the Western Bulldogs will face a nervous wait to see who his next target will be. \n\n__The Chad lights it up for Marngrook__ \n\nChad Warner tore Carlton to shreds on Friday night with one of the best individual performances of the season to take home the player of the match award. Warmer amassed a team-high 28 disposals, 14 score involvements, 10 marks, 10 contested possessions, 721 metres gained and 3.2. \n\n__Running power overwhelms Carlton__ \n\nCarlton had no answer for the running speed and attacking play from the Swans whose midfielders and half back line ran circles around Michael Voss’ men. Sydney’s 23 players gained 6,158 metres compared to Calrton’s 5,621. \n\nThe Swans recorded a remarkable 17 running bounces on Friday night including nine alone from Chad Warner. There is no shame in Carlton being unable to contain the Swans’ run and carry with Sydney having the second most running bounces in the competition with 84. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__A concerning slow start __\n\nThe Swans found themselves 26 points behind midway through the first term and it could’ve been far worse if Harry McKay hadn’t missed from straight in front. Whilst the Swans went on to kick 13 of the 14 goals, John Longmire and the Swans should not sweep the slow start under the rug. \n\n*Charles Goodsir* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Josh Battle continues to shine in a contract year__\n\nSt Kilda will clearly be hoping to lock defender Josh Battle in long term as he remains a sturdy part of the defensive structures.\n\nBattle took 12 marks to go with 17 disposals in the loss to Freo, and is putting together an incredibly strong month. \n\nThings are going wrong for the Saints generally, but Battle has certainly carrying his load. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__St Kilda’s forward line is toothless__ \n\nMattaes Phillipou – four disposals, one goal – can’t find the footy.\n\nMax King – 10 disposals, goalless – is shockingly out of form. \n\nLiam Henry has been slow in re-integrating post injury, Lance Collard can’t be expected to find much of the footy and Anthony Caminiti comes in and kicks two goals, but likely makes way again for Tim Membrey.\n\nMitchito Owens kicks three, but only has eight disposals? How does that happen? \n\nSt Kilda needs to drastically adjust what they’re doing inside 50 and get these top-end players involved. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Harley Reid… again.__\n\nThe scariest part of Harley Reid’s ascendance is that this is likely the worst he is going to be in his career.\n\nThe young Eagle was absolutely electric against the Demons, dominating for stretches at a time and putting together a single-game highlight reel that would rival many players’ career highlights.\n\nReid has singlehandedly revitalised the entirety of West Coast, and the direst situation in the AFL has suddenly become full of optimism.\n\n__Jake Waterman is unstoppable__\n\nOn current form, there is arguably no better forward in the AFL than Jake Waterman.\n\nThat is not a sentence that many would have expected to exist coming into the season.\n\nAfter another bag of five against Melbourne, Waterman moves into equal-first in the Coleman race with 29 goals, with 23 of those coming in the last five games.\n\nWhile he is undoubtedly riding an unbelievable hot streak, the forward is playing a brand of footy that could conceivably span through the entire season, dominating aerial contests regardless of opponent.\n\nIt will be fascinating to see how Adam Simpson balances the forward line once Oscar Allen returns, as the right combination could suddenly make the Eagles’ attack look very scary.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Not slamming the door early__\n\nIt’s hard to nitpick a comprehensive victory over a premiership contender, other than the fact that it should have been even more comprehensive.\n\nThe Eagles led the Demons by 13 points going into the main break, despite having eight more scoring shots in the first half.\n\nWest Coast’s inaccuracy kept Melbourne in the game early on, and if they had kicked 10.5 rather than 7.8 in that opening half they could have completely slammed the door.\n\nOtherwise, it was a completely dominant display from the Eagles, with the 35-point margin arguably flattering the Demons.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n\n\n__Dominance everywhere but the scoreboard__\n\nIn almost every single facet of the game, this had the makings of a comfortable thrashing.\n\nThe Bulldogs easily came out on top in the clearance game, contested possessions and inside 50 count, all while forcing the Giants to play an unfamiliar, slow brand of football with a strong defensive structure.\n\nIt was the kind of performance that answered the bulk of concerns that had been levelled at the Bulldogs all season long and reaffirms their case for finals just weeks after they seemed out of reach.\n\nWith a tough stretch ahead of them, including games against the Swans and Magpies in back-to-back weeks, it’s time for the Bulldogs to prove that this display against GWS wasn’t an aberration.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Kicking accuracy__\n\nEven considering the slippery conditions, this was one of the worst goalkicking performances of the season.\n\nThe Bulldogs racked up a monstrous 30 scoring shots, 17 more than the Giants, and only managed a 27-point victory.\n\nA scoreline of 8.22, highlighted by a goalless opening term is simply unacceptable for any AFL team, let alone a Dogs side that is now back in the thick of the finals hunt.\n\nExpect plenty of kicking drills to be on the agenda down at Whitten Oval this week.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n[](https://www.sen.com.au/app/)","date":"2024-05-20T16:05+10:00","author":"SEN","seoTitle":"What they got right and wrong: Each club’s wins

Fraser-McGurk and Short were added to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad","slug":"why-fraser-mcgurk-and-short-were-added-to-australias-t20-world-cup-squad","summary":"“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer.”","content":"Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short have been added as travelling reserves to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad, although both won’t play unless there is an injury in the squad. \n\nWith Andrew McDonald and members of his squad set to fly out on Wednesday for the World Cup in the West Indies and the US, the Australian coach joined *SEN’s Whateley* to detail changes to the travelling party. \n\nIn-form opener Fraser-McGurk and BBL star Short have been added to the 15-man squad, with McDonald stating the batters bring different qualities. \n\n“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer. Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round… we have no fears he won’t be fit and fully available.”\n\nAustralia’s first of four group stage games comes against Oman in Barbados on June 6. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:27+10:00","author":"Seb

There's an offer from West Coast, but significantly less money - with a lot of game/award triggers - and only 2 years.
Lot to weight up for Yeo. Still a good chance he remains at Eagles beyond 2024, but no certainty.

replacement","slug":"billy-loves-him-maroons-legends-split-on-munsters-replacement","summary":"State of Origin legends believe it comes down to Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Broncos star Ezra Mam.","content":"Queensland State of Origin legends are split on who they think should replace the injured Cameron Munster and wear the famous No.6 for the Maroons for the upcoming series.\n\nAfter Munster, who has played 18 games for Queensland, was ruled out for the entire 2024 series after reinjuring his groin during Magic Round, most believe his replacement is between North Queensland Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Brisbane Broncos star Ezra Mam.\n\nDearden has experience in the Origin arena after making his debut in the 2022 series decider when Munster was a late withdrawal with Covid, while the 21-year-old Mam has been a standout for the Broncos at five-eighth this season but is yet to make his debut at the representative level.\n\n“This is a difficult one isn’t it, well it’s a race of two between Ezra Mam and Tommy Dearden,” Cameron Smith said on SENQ Breakfast.\n\n\n\n“For me, I think particularly for a game one, I’d go with a guy that’s performed there before and that’s Tommy Dearden but there’s so many positives about Ezra Mam, don’t get me wrong.\n\n“I love the way he plays, I love the high energy, high involvement style of footy that he plays but Tommy Dearden, although his team is bumbling their way through the competition at the moment, I think he’s been a standout for the Cowboys.\n\n“He is one of the best competitors in this competition and I know Billy’s a huge fan of him.\n\n“It shows a couple of years ago in the decider, Billy had no issues throwing him in… That’d just the way I would go.”\n\n\n\nThe man, who famously created the iconic ‘Queenslander’ call, in Billy Moore agreed with the Melbourne Storm great.\n\n“To me I’d go Tom Dearden, I think he’s been groomed for the role, I think he marries up perfectly with DCE,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I love the way he plays so direct, he’s brave and the fact it means so much to him, when he was selected he started crying, that resonates with Billy Moore.\n\n“Ezra Mam, his time is coming, coming faster than we think. That’s the way I’d go, if they go the other way I wouldn’t have a problem with it either.”\n\nWhile former Maroons enforcer Shane Webcke believed Ezra Mam’s “x-factor” gave him the advantage when it came to selection.\n\n“When you lose a player like a Munster, you’re not replacing that… but what you would look for is a bloke who has a bit of x-factor about him… look at what he did in the grand final last year, that is what you look for,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I don’t think he’s a risk, he’s going to deliver… he’s one of those blokes that players love playing with him and that’s also another really important factor when it comes to an Origin side.”\n\nWebcke also believed Mam’s partnership with Reece Walsh and Patrick Carrigan would also benefit him if he was selected.\n\nGame I

playmaker Tom Dearden and Broncos star Ezra Mam.","content":"Queensland State of Origin legends are split on who they think should replace the injured Cameron Munster and wear the famous No.6 for the Maroons for the upcoming series.\n\nAfter Munster, who has played 18 games for Queensland, was ruled out for the entire 2024 series after reinjuring his groin during Magic Round, most believe his replacement is between North Queensland Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Brisbane Broncos star Ezra Mam.\n\nDearden has experience in the Origin arena after making his debut in the 2022 series decider when Munster was a late withdrawal with Covid, while the 21-year-old Mam has been a standout for the Broncos at five-eighth this season but is yet to make his debut at the representative level.\n\n“This is a difficult one isn’t it, well it’s a race of two between Ezra Mam and Tommy Dearden,” Cameron Smith said on SENQ Breakfast.\n\n\n\n“For me, I think particularly for a game one, I’d go with a guy that’s performed there before and that’s Tommy Dearden but there’s so many positives about Ezra Mam, don’t get me wrong.\n\n“I love the way he plays, I love the high energy, high involvement style of footy that he plays but Tommy Dearden, although his team is bumbling their way through the competition at the moment, I think he’s been a standout for the Cowboys.\n\n“He is one of the best competitors in this competition and I know Billy’s a huge fan of him.\n\n“It shows a couple of years ago in the decider, Billy had no issues throwing him in… That’d just the way I would go.”\n\n\n\nThe man, who famously created the iconic ‘Queenslander’ call, in Billy Moore agreed with the Melbourne Storm great.\n\n“To me I’d go Tom Dearden, I think he’s been groomed for the role, I think he marries up perfectly with DCE,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I love the way he plays so direct, he’s brave and the fact it means so much to him, when he was selected he started crying, that resonates with Billy Moore.\n\n“Ezra Mam, his time is coming, coming faster than we think. That’s the way I’d go, if they go the other way I wouldn’t have a problem with it either.”\n\nWhile former Maroons enforcer Shane Webcke believed Ezra Mam’s “x-factor” gave him the advantage when it came to selection.\n\n“When you lose a player like a Munster, you’re not replacing that… but what you would look for is a bloke who has a bit of x-factor about him… look at what he did in the grand final last year, that is what you look for,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I don’t think he’s a risk, he’s going to deliver… he’s one of those blokes that players love playing with him and that’s also another really important factor when it comes to an Origin side.”\n\nWebcke also believed Mam’s partnership with Reece Walsh and Patrick Carrigan would also benefit him if he was selected.\n\nGame I will be played at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on June 5.\n\n","date":"2024-05-21T15:00+10:00","author":"Brayden Heslehurst","seoTitle":"\"Billy loves him\": Maroons legends split on Munster's replacement","seoDescription":"State of Origin legends believe it comes down to Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Broncos star Ezra Mam.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6SKSbnR0LtpeAN0qkn1ENg","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2022-07-15T00:52:11.152Z","updatedAt":"2022-07-15T00:52:11.152Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Tom Dearden","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/6SKSbnR0LtpeAN0qkn1ENg/aca787e57d7a12e4c1c8773519197a9a/FXk79WfaMAAjAVJ.jpg","details":{"size":168189,"image":{"width":1024,"height":714}},"fileName":"FXk79WfaMAAjAVJ.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"61mBpqalwW8EO4g6yYoUuM","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2018-06-06T04:27:19.012Z","updatedAt":"2018-06-06T04:27:19.012Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Queensland","slug":"queensland"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD","NZ"]}}},{"title":"Wayne Bennett signs three-year deal with South Sydney ","slug":"wayne-bennett-signs-three-year-deal-with-south-sydney","summary":"The Supercoach returns to Redfern to address some unfinished business.

After a 3-7 start to the season, the Eels board in their club statement said the team had stalled under Arthur’s coaching and a change in leadership was necessary. \n\nRiccio believes the removal of Arthur is just the tip of the iceberg for the problems that the club will face in the next 12-24 months. He believes the roster has been mismanaged across the past few seasons and is soon to reach a tipping point. \n\n“Your entire (coaching) career depends on how your team performs,” Riccio said on *SEN 1170 Breakfast*. \n\n“Just because you inherit players does not mean they are your type of players. \n\n“There will absolutely be changes made to that roster whichever head coach comes into that club. \n\n“Their salary cap is completely out of whack. They have way too much money tied up in the front row with Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Junior Paulo. \n\n“The Eels have a lot of highly paid players who have impacted their ability to spread their talent across the roster and that's where they are falling short. \n\n[](http://sen.com.au/app)\n\n“They have so much money in Mitch Moses, Dylan Brown, Clint Gutherson and their front rowers and it’s the reason why they had to go to England and get Joey Lussick to get a cheap dummy half. \n\n“Their outside backs are constantly stop cap solutions. \n\n\n\n“Zac Lomax, a huge marquee signing strains the salary cap even further. \n\n“They will have to tap some players on the shoulder to clean their salary cap up no matter what the next coach will want to do.” \n\nAssistant coach Trent Barrett will act as interim coach for the remainder of the Eels’ season. \n\nParramatta play the South Sydney Rabbitohs on Saturday night at Accor Stadium. \n\n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:30+10:00","author":"Charles

","slug":"they-will-have-to-tap-some-players-on-the-shoulder-why-riccio-expects-a-mass","summary":"“There will absolutely be changes made to that roster whichever head coach comes into that club.\" ","content":"The Parramatta Eels’ fortunes have gone from bad to worse with *The Daily Telegraph’s* David Riccio forecasting a massive player cleanout following the sacking of coach Brad Arthur. \n\nThe Parramatta board confirmed on Monday that Arthur’s contract had been terminated after 10 full seasons and 264 games at the helm. After a 3-7 start to the season, the Eels board in their club statement said the team had stalled under Arthur’s coaching and a change in leadership was necessary. \n\nRiccio believes the removal of Arthur is just the tip of the iceberg for the problems that the club will face in the next 12-24 months. He believes the roster has been mismanaged across the past few seasons and is soon to reach a tipping point. \n\n“Your entire (coaching) career depends on how your team performs,” Riccio said on *SEN 1170 Breakfast*. \n\n“Just because you inherit players does not mean they are your type of players. \n\n“There will absolutely be changes made to that roster whichever head coach comes into that club. \n\n“Their salary cap is completely out of whack. They have way too much money tied up in the front row with Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Junior Paulo. \n\n“The Eels have a lot of highly paid players who have impacted their ability to spread their talent across the roster and that's where they are falling short. \n\n[](http://sen.com.au/app)\n\n“They have so much money in Mitch Moses, Dylan Brown, Clint Gutherson and their front rowers and it’s the reason why they had to go to England and get Joey Lussick to get a cheap dummy half. \n\n“Their outside backs are constantly stop cap solutions. \n\n\n\n“Zac Lomax, a huge marquee signing strains the salary cap even further. \n\n“They will have to tap some players on the shoulder to clean their salary cap up no matter what the next coach will want to do.” \n\nAssistant coach Trent Barrett will act as interim coach for the remainder of the Eels’ season. \n\nParramatta play the South Sydney Rabbitohs on Saturday night at Accor Stadium. \n\n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:30+10:00","author":"Charles

I would suggest to you that he’s pretty much doing the same things that he’s always done.\n\n“His view is this, and I agree with him, the same things that have always won a game of rugby league are the same things that are always going to win a game of rugby league.\n\n\n\n“You have to have the will, the intent, so his trainings were always pointed towards the resilience, the patterns and the mind numbingly repetitive stuff that you’ve got to be good at to win games of rugby league.\n\n“I think the reason for his sustained success over a long period of time across different clubs, I think what it is, is that he’s kept it simple, he hasn’t made rocket science out of being a rugby league coach.”\n\nWebcke also believed Bennett was not motivated by money to return to Souths, instead he said he was motivated by the challenge of turning the club around.\n\n“I think he’ll go back to Souths… people are going to say it’s a pay day and all that… but understand what drives the man… it’s because there’s a challenge,” he said.\n\n“He looks at Souths, looks at that club and thinks they’re a whole lot better than that… he will look at that and think I’m going to try and fix that and I’ll lay out money that he will fix it.”\n\nBennett has his Dolphins team in fourth on the NRL ladder with a clash against the Warriors in Auckland ahead on

loves him\": Maroons legends split on Munster's replacement","slug":"billy-loves-him-maroons-legends-split-on-munsters-replacement","summary":"State of Origin legends believe it comes down to Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Broncos star Ezra Mam.","content":"Queensland State of Origin legends are split on who they think should replace the injured Cameron Munster and wear the famous No.6 for the Maroons for the upcoming series.\n\nAfter Munster, who has played 18 games for Queensland, was ruled out for the entire 2024 series after reinjuring his groin during Magic Round, most believe his replacement is between North Queensland Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Brisbane Broncos star Ezra Mam.\n\nDearden has experience in the Origin arena after making his debut in the 2022 series decider when Munster was a late withdrawal with Covid, while the 21-year-old Mam has been a standout for the Broncos at five-eighth this season but is yet to make his debut at the representative level.\n\n“This is a difficult one isn’t it, well it’s a race of two between Ezra Mam and Tommy Dearden,” Cameron Smith said on SENQ Breakfast.\n\n\n\n“For me, I think particularly for a game one, I’d go with a guy that’s performed there before and that’s Tommy Dearden but there’s so many positives about Ezra Mam, don’t get me wrong.\n\n“I love the way he plays, I love the high energy, high involvement style of footy that he plays but Tommy Dearden, although his team is bumbling their way through the competition at the moment, I think he’s been a standout for the Cowboys.\n\n“He is one of the best competitors in this competition and I know Billy’s a huge fan of him.\n\n“It shows a couple of years ago in the decider, Billy had no issues throwing him in… That’d just the way I would go.”\n\n\n\nThe man, who famously created the iconic ‘Queenslander’ call, in Billy Moore agreed with the Melbourne Storm great.\n\n“To me I’d go Tom Dearden, I think he’s been groomed for the role, I think he marries up perfectly with DCE,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I love the way he plays so direct, he’s brave and the fact it means so much to him, when he was selected he started crying, that resonates with Billy Moore.\n\n“Ezra Mam, his time is coming, coming faster than we think. That’s the way I’d go, if they go the other way I wouldn’t have a problem with it either.”\n\nWhile former Maroons enforcer Shane Webcke believed Ezra Mam’s “x-factor” gave him the advantage when it came to selection.\n\n“When you lose a player like a Munster, you’re not replacing that… but what you would look for is a bloke who has a bit of x-factor about him… look at what he did in the grand final last year, that is what you look for,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I don’t think he’s a risk, he’s going to deliver… he’s one of those blokes that players love playing with him and that’s also another really important factor when it comes to an Origin side.”\n\nWebcke also believed Mam’s partnership with Reece Walsh and Patrick Carrigan would also benefit him if he was selected.\n\nGame I will be played at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on June 5.\n\n","date":"2024-05-21T15:00+10:00","author":"Brayden Heslehurst","seoTitle":"\"Billy loves him\": Maroons legends split on Munster's replacement","seoDescription":"State of Origin legends believe it comes down to Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Broncos star Ezra Mam.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6SKSbnR0LtpeAN0qkn1ENg","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2022-07-15T00:52:11.152Z","updatedAt":"2022-07-15T00:52:11.152Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Tom Dearden","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/6SKSbnR0LtpeAN0qkn1ENg/aca787e57d7a12e4c1c8773519197a9a/FXk79WfaMAAjAVJ.jpg","details":{"size":168189,"image":{"width":1024,"height":714}},"fileName":"FXk79WfaMAAjAVJ.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"61mBpqalwW8EO4g6yYoUuM","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2018-06-06T04:27:19.012Z","updatedAt":"2018-06-06T04:27:19.012Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Queensland","slug":"queensland"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD","NZ"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5YSiHt2lqiAgVA6JmMe6z8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T00:36:42.769Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T00:36:42.769Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Wayne Bennett signs three-year deal with South Sydney ","slug":"wayne-bennett-signs-three-year-deal-with-south-sydney","summary":"The Supercoach returns to Redfern to address some unfinished business.

away 22-20 winners in one of the biggest upsets of the season, ending a five-game winless streak that began with their draw against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in Round 6. \n\nThe Warriors were without regular starters Shaun Johnson, Tohu Harris, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Kurt Capewell, Luke Metcalf, Marata Niukore, and Rocco Berry forcing largely untested rookies to play bigger minutes than initially predicted. \n\nNew Zealand also lost Wayde Egan after 12 minutes to a Category 1 concussion, while Jackson Ford and Marcelo Montoya spent time off undergoing head injury assessments before passing and returning. \n\nSmith said the Warriors played extremely well to get the win considering their injury toll, and the atmosphere was enormous. \n\n“I think they played an extremely tough brand of footy and were very resilient,” Smith told *Breakfast with Vossy & Brandy*.\n\n“The Warriors had to fight hard. They were missing a few of their stars… and to get the win the way they did, they had to come from behind, and to win it by two points was fantastic. \n\n“My goodness, the noise from the crowd… that was as big as any finals game I’ve been at, getting close to sort of origin-like. It was loud, so that was a wonderful moment for the weekend. \n\nDespite their shock loss, Smith isn’t concerned about a drop in-form for the Penrith Panthers. \n\n“There are high standards around Penrith… most weeks we expect them to be faultless… at the end of the day, they’re human beings.

Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round… we have no fears he won’t be fit and fully available.”\n\nAustralia’s first of four group stage games comes against Oman in Barbados on June 6. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:27+10:00","author":"Seb Mottram","seoTitle":"Why Fraser-McGurk and Short were added to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad","seoDescription":"“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer.”","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"70V42gS8r46NT2BWNiOwEq","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:00.291Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:00.291Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"BEST SPLIT IMG (USE THIS) (66)","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/70V42gS8r46NT2BWNiOwEq/d46583b8715e38a31d09c9f9474c552f/BEST_SPLIT_IMG__USE_THIS___66_.jpg","details":{"size":72913,"image":{"width":800,"height":600}},"fileName":"BEST SPLIT IMG (USE THIS) (66).jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5IXQXxtEbYoKg444mq0WeG","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:54.026Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:41:03.145Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Cricket","bgColour":"4fb952","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"cricket","primary":true}},"state":["VIC","SA","TAS","NSW","QLD","WA"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6gf7y5ugw0JURrfdeGvVBB","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:36:42.632Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:36:42.632Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"“They will have to tap some players on the shoulder\": Why Riccio expects a mass player exodus at Parramatta ","slug":"they-will-have-to-tap-some-players-on-the-shoulder-why-riccio-expects-a-mass","summary":"“There will absolutely be changes made to that roster whichever head coach comes into that club.\" ","content":"The Parramatta Eels’ fortunes have gone from bad to worse with *The Daily Telegraph’s* David Riccio forecasting a massive player cleanout following the sacking of coach Brad Arthur. \n\nThe Parramatta board confirmed on Monday that Arthur’s contract had been terminated after 10 full seasons and 264 games at the helm. After a 3-7 start to the season, the Eels board in their club statement said the team had stalled under Arthur’s coaching and a change in leadership was necessary. \n\nRiccio believes the removal of Arthur is just the tip of the iceberg for the problems that the club will face in the next 12-24 months. He believes the roster has been mismanaged across the past few seasons and is soon to reach a tipping point. \n\n“Your entire (coaching) career depends on how your team performs,” Riccio said on *SEN 1170 Breakfast*. \n\n“Just because you inherit players does not mean they are your type of players. \n\n“There will absolutely be changes made to that roster whichever head coach comes into that club. \n\n“Their salary cap is completely out of whack.

talent across the roster and that's where they are falling short. \n\n[](http://sen.com.au/app)\n\n“They have so much money in Mitch Moses, Dylan Brown, Clint Gutherson and their front rowers and it’s the reason why they had to go to England and get Joey Lussick to get a cheap dummy half. \n\n“Their outside backs are constantly stop cap solutions. \n\n\n\n“Zac Lomax, a huge marquee signing strains the salary cap even further. \n\n“They will have to tap some players on the shoulder to clean their salary cap up no matter what the next coach will want to do.” \n\nAssistant coach Trent Barrett will

with rival clubs from November 1st.","content":"Brisbane Broncos great Corey Parker fears the Broncos may lose Selwyn Cobbo to a rival club following his standout performance at fullback during Magic Round.\n\nDeputising for the injured Reece Walsh, Cobbo was dominant against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, running for 228 running metres and 11 tackle breaks on his way to a maximum six Dally M votes. \n\nCobbo can negotiate with rival clubs from November 1st, along with centre partner Kotoni Staggs, and Parker fears that having both off contract at the same time will cost the club one or both as they will be unable to match offers from other clubs. \n\n“A lesser club unlike a Broncos might dangle seven figures at him and say we want you to be our number one,” Parker told *SENQ Mornings*.\n\n“(Playing fullback has) highlighted him again in the shop… I don’t see how they could keep those players for the money that someone like a Cobbo would be offered on the open market because he can play fullback.\n\n“I know he wants to play centre and he’s very happy at the Broncos, but money does strange things.”\n\nParker drew comparisons between Cobbo and Sydney Roosters superstar Joey Manu, as the Broncos need to figure out how to get Cobbo more involved when he returns to the centres. \n\n“He’s Brisbane’s version of Joey Manu,” Parker said.\n\n“You give him an opportunity and his numbers are great, he’s high involvement, etc. He goes back to the centres, and it’s how do we get Cobbo… the ball again?\n\n“I just love the way that Selwyn approaches the game. He’s got this swagger about him. He’s got a carefree approach and demeanour but he’s hard to handle.”\n\nIn the centres this season, Cobbo has been averaging 139 run metres and 5.6 tackle breaks, far under his numbers at fullback.\n\nWhile there are no evident openings at fullback across the NRL, with every club seemingly having a settled player in the number one, a player of Cobbo’s calibre would be in high demand amongst teams struggling to make finals.\n\nReece Walsh is due back for Round 12 so Cobbo is likely to return to the centres against the Titans. \n\n","date":"2024-05-20T12:33+10:00","author":"Sam Kosack","seoTitle":"Parker fears Cobbo could be poached by \"lesser clubs\" after Magic Round brilliance ","seoDescription":"Cobbo is able to negotiate with rival clubs from November 1st.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4PhDdYVkd1ijjqUeGSJViP","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-20T02:24:30.347Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-20T02:24:30.347Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"selwyn cobbo fullback 2024","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/4PhDdYVkd1ijjqUeGSJViP/5bb05db3455199c80862cc3423c5b5ce/GettyImages-2153365793.jpg","details":{"size":3353383,"image":{"width":4294,"height":2862}},"fileName":"GettyImages-2153365793.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"18sNCeUmAus0EkGau0AwwE","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2018-04-20T01:33:35.971Z","updatedAt":"2018-04-20T01:33:35.971Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Brisbane Broncos","slug":"brisbane-broncos"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD","NZ"]}}],"state":"QLD","useFeaturedContentFallback":false}}},"tasHomepage":{"title":"Home - TAS","seoTitle":"SEN - Tasmania's Home of Sport","seoDescription":"SEN (Sports Entertainment Network) is a sport radio station with AFL, Cricket, NRL, Horse racing and much more","seoKeywords":"1116;SEN;Melbourne;Radio;Station;Sport;News;Talk;AFL;Footy;sports radio station;Sports Radio;Sport Radio Melbourne;Sport Melbourne","slug":"tas","featuredContent":[{"title":"Rattled Scheffler breaks silence on chaotic arrest ","slug":"rattled-scheffler-breaks-silence-on-chaotic-arrest","summary":"Scheffler was arrested overnight.","content":"A classy Scottie Scheffler has addressed the chaotic scenes at Louisville overnight that saw the best golfer in the world arrested, handcuffed and locked in a cell when he was meant to be preparing for Day 2 of the PGA Championship.\n\nScheffler was arrested by Louisville Metro Police on Friday morning after trying to drive into the entrance of Valhalla Golf Club.\n\nWith traffic at a complete standstill following a fatal crash near the course, it is being reported that Scheffler was trying to drive around the crash site before an officer instructed him to stop but the 27-year-old continued which led to the arrest. \n\nScheffler, the world No. 1, faces charges of second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic.\n\nHe was subsequently released without bail and made his way directly to the course where he put on a show as per usual. \n\nAs always, Scheffler showed class when addressing the situation, paying respects to the family of the man who died after being struck by a shuttle bus.\n\n“I can't imagine what they're going through this morning,” Scheffler said.\n\n“My situation will get handled. It was a chaotic situation and a big misunderstanding.

It was a chaotic situation and a big misunderstanding. I can't get into what transpired, outside of my heart goes out to the family.\n\n“I was pretty rattled to say the least.\n\n“The officer that took me to the jail was very kind. He was great. We had a nice chat in the car, that kind of helped calm me down.”\n\nScheffler admits he was in a feeling of shock and fear and admitted that playing a round of golf would be a big challenge.\n\n“I was never angry. I was shaking for like an hour, I would say in shock and in fear.

shareholder, Jim Ratcliffe, hasn't mucked around.","content":"Former Manchester City chief Omar Berrada has made a shock move to local rivals Manchester United in a coup that is a massive blow to City’s operation. \n\nBerrada, regarded as one of the best backend operators and executives in sport, will join a new-look United as their new chief executive officer with new minority shareholder, Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team, driving the move. \n\nThe announcement sent shockwaves throughout the Premier League with many seeing this signing as a massive positive for Ratcliffe and under-fire manager Erik ten Hag.\n\nBut the impact this could have on Pep Guardiola's City is huge.\n\nBerrada has been instrumental to the success of City, his wealth of football and commercial expertise is one of the main reasons City has become one of the biggest powerhouses in sport both on and off the pitch.\n\nDavid Ornstein, who broke the news for *The Athletic*, says this signing is a poaching of the highest order and has sent shockwaves throughout the industry.\n\n“United’s search for a new CEO isn’t fresh or a surprise, however the candidate that they decided upon certainly is,” Ornstein told *The Athletic Football Podcast*.\n\n“It feels to me from all the calls and checks that we’ve made that this particular pursuit of Berrada was very recent and they did it under the radar so it appears to be a very discreet, quick and slick operation which you don’t normally associate with Manchester United under the Glazer regime but perhaps that’s because it was driven by INEOS.\n\n“The news of the appointment has really sent shockwaves through the industry, Omar Berrada is very highly regarded throughout the game and was so fundamental and to the core of the City setup.\n\n\n\n“He moved from Barcelona to City in 2011 and he’s worked his way through various positions at City within the City Football Group as a wider multi-club model from the business side to the football side.\n\n“Now he’s doing the deals at City alongside Txiki Begiristain who is really the football expert with Omar Berrada focusing on the numbers, finances, salaries and commissions, and is said to be very sharp on that but he also takes a big role on the academy side and women’s football.\n\n“The feedback we’ve had on him is overwhelmingly positive.”\n\nAs for when Berrada will take control at United, Ornstein expects him to start his role in the summer in time for the new Premier League season.\n\n“He will take executive leadership on business and football,” Ornstein added.\n\n“He will have a seat on the board of directors where he’ll report into ownership, and we suspect he will build a team around him.\n\n“There’s no anticipation that he’ll start immediately, it’s looking more likely in the summer, but this seems to be a poaching of the highest order and one because of the proximity of the clubs that few, if any of us saw coming.”\n\nUnited great Rio Ferdinand believes this appointment could be one of United's greatest signings in the winter transfer window and that the announcement left many City insiders shocked.\n\n“This could potentially be one of our best January signings,” Ferdinand said on his podcast *FIVE*.\n\n“I spoke to some guys who are at City and they can't believe that we've got him.\n\n“They think like 'wow, he's done so much in the game at different levels and he's been successful and it's a really good sharp signing for us'.”\n\nCity is yet to announce a replacement for the outgoing Berrada.","date":"2024-01-24T09:15+11:00","author":"Hugh Fitzpatrick

addressed the chaotic scenes at Louisville overnight that saw the best golfer in the world arrested, handcuffed and locked in a cell when he was meant to be preparing for Day 2 of the PGA Championship.\n\nScheffler was arrested by Louisville Metro Police on Friday morning after trying to drive into the entrance of Valhalla Golf Club.\n\nWith traffic at a complete standstill following a fatal crash near the course, it is being reported that Scheffler was trying to drive around the crash site before an officer instructed him to stop but the 27-year-old continued which led to the arrest. \n\nScheffler, the world No. 1, faces charges of second-degree assault of a police officer, third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic.\n\nHe was subsequently released without bail and made his way directly to the course where he put on a show as per usual. \n\nAs always, Scheffler showed class when addressing the situation, paying respects to the family of the man who died after being struck by a shuttle bus.\n\n“I can't imagine what they're going through this morning,” Scheffler said.\n\n“My situation will get handled. It was a chaotic situation and a big misunderstanding. I can't get into what transpired, outside of my heart goes out to the family.\n\n“I was pretty rattled to say the least.\n\n“The officer that took me to the jail was very kind. He was great. We had a nice chat in the car, that kind of helped calm me down.”\n\nScheffler admits he was in a feeling of shock and fear and admitted that playing a round of golf would be a big challenge.\n\n“I was never angry. I was shaking for like an hour, I would say in shock and in fear.

Of course, I would.”","content":"Tim Paine has put his hat in the ring to coach the Adelaide Strikers in BBL|14 after Jason Gillespie resigned from the role last week.\n\nGillespie will step away from his position as Strikers and South Australia coach to take up the job in charge of the Pakistan Test team and while Ryan Harris has taken the state job on an interim basis, no update has been made on the BBL role.\n\nWith Gillespie to leave the role in June, Paine says he’d love to apply for the Strikers job if the SACA hires separate coaches for their state team and Big Bash franchise.\n\nPaine worked under Gillespie in BBL|13 with the Strikers in an assistant coaching role.\n\n“Would I like to coach the Adelaide Strikers? Of course, I would,” Paine said on *SEN Tassie Breakfast*.\n\n“But at the moment, they have no GM of cricket and a number of other roles that need to be filled before any of that happens.\n\n“Then they need to decide with the South Australian side and the Strikers, do you go down the same model they've just had of one coach? In that case, I cannot do it. \n\n“If they were to split the roles, I would be very interested, certainly in having a crack at getting that job.”\n\n\n\nWhile Paine has only been in the coaching ranks for six months, he says he’d be happy to apply for the job alongside other highly-touted coaches both for his ambitions to coach at the highest level and for his professional development. \n\n“But I've been coaching for about six months, and it is a big job,” Paine said.\n\n“I'd imagine a lot of experienced coaches would be interested in that job as well.\n\n“But I would love to go through the process because it would be a great learning curve for me as a professional coach - to go through some sort of process would be awesome for my development. \n\n“But like any coach, of course, you want to coach in the biggest league you can get in.”\n\nPaine also explained why he’d only chase the job if it were for the Strikers only, with the former keeper unwilling to move his family to South Australia full-time at this time.\n\nThe 39-year-old thinks that both models work where a governing body picks a coach to oversee both state and BBL programs as well as picking separate managers for the different sides.\n\n“I'm not at the stage where I will be moving my family full time to Adelaide or any other state,” Paine said.\n\n“The timing of that is not quite right. If you're looking at a Big Bash job and a state job (combined), that is enormous.\n\n“I think you can do both (have just a BBL coach or a coach that manages both sides) and that's not to sit on the fence.\n\n“You've seen certainly in Western Australia with the Justin Langer and now Adam Voges model, it can work. \n\n“You've also seen split ones work, but where it's split, there’s got to be some real trust and some real collaboration between the two programs. \n\n“I think you've just got to be really clear on what you expect from each coach, particularly the Big Bash coach.\n\n“If you are going to go down the state model of Western Australia, they need to be really clear on this is the job you're applying for.”\n\nPaine has only been retired from First Class cricket since March 2023. \n\n","date":"2024-04-08T13:06+10:00","author":"Lachlan Geleit","seoTitle":"Paine keen on vacant Adelaide Strikers head coaching gig after Gillespie resignation","seoDescription":"“Would I like to coach the Adelaide Strikers?

He enjoyed a good run there but hit the line a long way out, and one of the two horses that finished ahead of him has since won. This race doesn’t look as strong, and with a run under his belt, I expect him to be winning the opener.\n\n### Next best\n\n__Race 7, No.2 - Very Sewreel__\n\nGai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott look to win the Tasmanian Oaks for the second straight year after Soul Choice in 2023. Very Sewreel led them Strutt Stakes field up, was challenged a long way out, and boxed on to be beaten less than a length. Importantly, that was her first run at 2100m, so she should strip fitter here at a venue that tends to favour those on speed more than Hobart.\n\n### Best value\n\n__Race 4, No.12 - Shim__\n\nTape watchers will find Shim in the fourth race on Sunday as she’s had no luck in either of her two starts this preparation. Her racing pattern does lend itself to that, but having Newitt going aboard looks a huge positive for a horse who apprentices have largely ridden. Only a moderate 0-62, and given her recent SPs, there’s a big chance Shim is well over the odds.\n\n### Selections\n\nRace 1: 2-5-7-9 \nRace 2: 7-1-5-4 \nRace 3: 3-9-11-2 \nRace 4: 12-1-14-3 \nRace 5: 2-3-7-1 \nRace 6: 10-5-4-6 \nRace 7: 2-1-3-5 \nRace 8: 1-6-5-3 \nRace 9: 14-5-7-1\n\n____________________________________________________________________________\n\n*__Chances are you’re about to lose.__ For free and confidential support call 1800 858 858 or visit [gamblinghelponline.org.au](https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/)*","date":"2024-02-25T10:42+11:00","author":"Matt Reid","seoTitle":"Matt Reid’s best bets at Launceston on Tasmanian Oaks Day (25/02) ","seoDescription":"Tassie tips.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6LiTacJ3SrST0UBM3bsWNe","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-02-23T04:43:35.032Z","updatedAt":"2024-02-23T04:43:35.032Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Shim Launceston racing","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/6LiTacJ3SrST0UBM3bsWNe/33006d75089243dd99d671cf3efb1cba/Shim-800x600.jpg","details":{"size":93155,"image":{"width":800,"height":600}},"fileName":"Shim-800x600.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"3yXMkHnZtSiiUyiI6IY2c2","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:52.104Z","updatedAt":"2021-06-18T08:06:13.107Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":5,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Horse Racing","bgColour":"6833b9","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"horse-racing","primary":true}},"state":["NZ","TRACK","QLD","NSW","TAS","WA","SA","VIC"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4KDTnnoG0XcrXiqRX9o7LU","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-02-02T21:50:51.483Z","updatedAt":"2024-02-02T22:28:06.607Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":4,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Socceroos crash out of Asian Cup with quarter final loss to South Korea","slug":"socceroos-crash-out-of-asia-cup-with-quarter-final-loss-to-south-korea","summary":"The Socceroos are out.","content":"The Socceroos have crashed out of the Asian Cup with another quarter finals departure in losing 2-1 to South Korea at the same stage of the tournament they faltered in back in 2019\n\nIn a different performance to past games, Australia was on the back foot for much of the contest but inspired in attack and had the better of the chances throughout the clash.\n\nCraig Goodwin put the Australians up in the 42nd minute, a lead that would then hold until deep into regular time.\n\nBut defender Lewis Miller – who came on in the 73rd minute – would go on to concede a penalty to Tottenham star Son Heung-min in the dying stages before another foul saw a South Korean free kick lead to another score in extra time.\n\nAustralia had good looks through Mitch Duke and Martin Boyle in the second half that would go to waste, with the missed opportunities – as they so often do – coming back to bite.\n\nWhile the attacking and creative flair Australia had been lacking throughout the tournament was back, the finishing touch was not for Graham Arnold’s men.\n\n“We were up 1-0,” Arnold said post-match. \n\n“We had chances (for) 2-0, 3-0.

City’s operation. \n\nBerrada, regarded as one of the best backend operators and executives in sport, will join a new-look United as their new chief executive officer with new minority shareholder, Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team, driving the move. \n\nThe announcement sent shockwaves throughout the Premier League with many seeing this signing as a massive positive for Ratcliffe and under-fire manager Erik ten Hag.\n\nBut the impact this could have on Pep Guardiola's City is huge.\n\nBerrada has been instrumental to the success of City, his wealth of football and commercial expertise is one of the main reasons City has become one of the biggest powerhouses in sport both on and off the pitch.\n\nDavid Ornstein, who broke the news for *The Athletic*, says this signing is a poaching of the highest order and has sent shockwaves throughout the industry.\n\n“United’s search for a new CEO isn’t fresh or a surprise, however the candidate that they decided upon certainly is,” Ornstein told *The Athletic Football Podcast*.\n\n“It feels to me from all the calls and checks that we’ve made that this particular pursuit of Berrada was very recent and they did it under the radar so it appears to be a very discreet, quick and slick operation which you don’t normally associate with Manchester United under the Glazer regime but perhaps that’s because it was driven by INEOS.\n\n“The news of the appointment has really sent shockwaves through the industry, Omar Berrada is very highly regarded throughout the game and was so fundamental and to the core of the City setup.\n\n\n\n“He moved from Barcelona to City in 2011 and he’s worked his way through various positions at City within the City Football Group as a wider multi-club model from the business side to the football side.\n\n“Now he’s doing the deals at City alongside Txiki Begiristain who is really the football expert with Omar Berrada focusing on the numbers, finances, salaries and commissions, and is said to be very sharp on that but he also takes a big role on the academy side and women’s football.\n\n“The feedback we’ve had on him is overwhelmingly positive.”\n\nAs for when Berrada will take control at United, Ornstein expects him to start his role in the summer in time for the new Premier League season.\n\n“He will take executive leadership on business and football,” Ornstein added.\n\n“He will have a seat on the board of directors where he’ll report into ownership, and we suspect he will build a team around him.\n\n“There’s no anticipation that he’ll start immediately, it’s looking more likely in the summer, but this seems to be a poaching of the highest order and one because of the proximity of the clubs that few, if any of us saw coming.”\n\nUnited great Rio Ferdinand believes this appointment could be one of United's greatest signings in the winter transfer window and that the announcement left many City insiders shocked.\n\n“This could potentially be one of our best January signings,” Ferdinand said on his podcast *FIVE*.\n\n“I spoke to some guys who are at City and they can't believe that we've got him.\n\n“They think like 'wow, he's done so much in the game at different levels and he's been successful and it's a really good sharp signing for us'.”\n\nCity is yet to announce a replacement for the outgoing Berrada.","date":"2024-01-24T09:15+11:00","author":"Hugh Fitzpatrick

Just fans having fun, enjoying themselves, sharing some pre-match laughs, and getting ready to walk just five minutes to the gates of Suncorp Stadium.\n\n### 2.\tSUNCORP STADIUM \nHands down, the best sporting venue in the Southern Hemisphere. Sure, we can argue all day about grounds like the MCG or the Sydney Football Stadium, but none of them have the atmosphere and feel of Suncorp.\n\n50,000+ people packed into a rectangular ground where you’re basically on top of the field makes for a supreme cauldron. The noise is deafening, as we found out walking up the turnstiles during the Raiders v Bulldogs match on the opening day. \n\nEvery moment of the match is amplified by the sound the venue creates, and that’s before we talk about the flawless logistics of the place. Not once did we see or encounter queues, or have any problem getting out of the stadium once the final whistle went.\n\nIn fact, it’s quite surreal seeing how quickly Suncorp empties out once the evening is finished. It is a world-class venue, perfectly designed for rugby league with a rich history to match.\n\n### 3.\tTHE JERSEYS \nIf you’re a bit of a rugby league nuffie, you will revel in the memories that come flooding back as you walk around Brisbane for Magic Round weekend.\n\nEvery jersey from past and present is on display as fans proudly parade the streets wearing Raiders and Broncos jerseys from the 90s, Balmain Tigers kits from the 80s, and Bulldogs jerseys from the 70s, and even the never-forgotten North Sydney Bears.\n\nNot only does it build the vibe and the atmosphere around rugby league, they become great conversation starters as you bump into random people on the street. Ironically, despite supporting different teams, fans are united by their admiration for an old piece of kit and it lets you know rugby league is well in truly in town.\n\n### 4.\tEX-PLAYERS \nRugby union, listen up! Part of what makes Magic Round a mecca for rugby league fans, is the fact you can be walking down Caxton Street, or going to your seat at Suncorp, and bump into legends of the game.\n\nCam Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Freddy Fittler, Blake Ayshford, Gorden Tallis - these guys are walking around with the fans getting pictures, sharing laughs, maybe a bit of NSW v QLD banter, and enjoying the footy alongside everyone else.\n\nIt would be very easy for them to stick to their corporate boxes away from everyone and slip in and out of the venue, but no. The NRL makes sure they are on proud display for everyone to see.\n\nHead to The Lord Alfred before a game and Cam Smith will be inside having beers, go to the Caxton Hotel and Matty Johns will be the life of the party, and if you’re a Warriors fan, you can find yourself walking up to Suncorp alongside Kevin Campion or Mark Tookey.\n\n### 5.\tTHE LIVE SHOWS \nIf you’re a fan of rugby league podcasts like The Levels Network, The Bye Round, Hello Sport, or Matty Johns, Magic Round is the perfect opportunity to see your favourite hosts in action.\n\nAlmost every major rugby league podcast had some sort of show (or shows) across the weekend, whether it be at the pubs, outside Suncorp, or inside the stadium. These shows are interactive, they’re loud, they’re engaging, and they include everyone - not just the guests and the stars of the game, but the fans and kids too.\n\nI can’t tell you how many people have been raving to me about catching their favourite shows live in the flesh and getting photos afterwards - it’s just another way the NRL promote their game so well.\n\n\n\n### 6.\tFAN ENGAGEMENT \nWe’ve long said that sport needs to make sure it’s more than just the 80 minutes on the paddock, and most of the above plays into this next point. No one does it quite like the NRL and Magic Round when it comes to pulling the fans into the occasion.\n\nWe’ve mentioned Caxton Street, lined with events and great venues to get the Magic Round buzz, but it includes a whole lot more - closed for the entire weekend to car traffic, the road is full with games to play for prizes, DJs, food trucks, and fan activations.\n\nIf you’re with kids and not keen on wading through the pub pandemonium, they’ll have a blast trying to win a jersey, an NRL ball, or a free Magic Round hat.\n\nAs you arrive at Suncorp, it gets even better. There are numerous areas outside to sit and enjoy the Brisbane sun, watch the action on the big screen, grab a bite or a drink, and once again win some awesome prizes.\n\nOnce you enter, the buzz of the NRL hits you squarely in the nostrils - and it’s the little things that make it so much fun. The 'Faces of Magic Round' on the big screen, panning through the crowd with hilarious filters get fans in fits of laughter.\n\nThere was the promotion by Westpac where any game ball that lands in the crowd is allowed to be kept, where normally they have to be returned to the officials. And the halftime fireworks, pyrotechnics, live performances, and shirt cannons mean there isn’t a single moment of the weekend where you’re not having the time of your life.\n\n### 7.\tTHE RUGBY LEAGUE \nNeedless to say, the action in the middle of the Suncorp turf plays a supplementary role to all of the above. However, Magic Round never fails to deliver on some scintillating rugby league.\n\nOn the whole, it’s a pretty easy concept - get all of the NRL clubs to play at one venue over the course of the weekend. Non-stop action, almost no time between games, and fans get their money’s worth every step of the way.\n\nBut it’s not like a Nines tournament, or Rugby Sevens, this is right in the middle of the NRL season where games genuinely mean as much as the week before, or the week after. As a result, there is no gimmicky feeling to the action on the field.\n\nYou also get a chance to see all the best players in the game, in the space of three days. Granted, this year had its fair share of injuries, but being able to see every top-level player go toe-to-toe for three days straight is something you’d never be able to do without a Magic Round. The first six games of Magic Round had winning margins of four, one, four, eight, six, and two - meaning all but the final two matches came down to the wire, giving the fans a reason to stay in their seat for the entire 80 minutes.\n\nTotal of deal around $2.7 million.

There's an offer from West Coast, but significantly less money - with a lot of game/award triggers - and only 2 years.
Lot to weight up for Yeo. Still a good chance he remains at Eagles beyond 2024, but no certainty.
\n\n### 8.\tCROWDS AND STADIUM SECURITY \nI’m yet to hear of any major problems or issues within the Suncorp crowd over Magic Round. With a party atmosphere flying around the weekend, it would make sense for things to get a little out of control at times. But it never came to fruition from what I saw, and instead you had a whole bunch of fans supporting their teams and getting right into the action while enjoying themselves.\n\nClose to 150,000 people attended the event across the three days, averaging 50,000 - meaning the NRL was just 2,500 people shy each day of a complete sellout.\n\nHOW GOOD!@NZWarriors CEO Cameron George crashes the SENZ commentary box at Magic Round 😆#NRLWarriorsPanthers pic.twitter.com/nwqndKIKpp
— SENZ (@SENZ_Radio) May 19, 2024
\n\nThe atmosphere was also aided by stadium security at Suncorp, which is unlike anything I’ve experienced in New Zealand.\n\nNot only is entry and exit into the stadium seamless, but the mandate to let fans enjoy themselves meant no one was being kicked out for having an oversized flag or carrying one too many drinks. No one was blocked from walking to different areas of the stadium, and guess what? Not a single streaker or pitch invader across the entire weekend. \n\n### 9.\tBRISBANE \nThe NRL has got the number one thing right with Magic Round – location. It’s the problem that plagues so many sports whenever they try to put something different on during their seasons.\n\nBrisbane really is a sporting oasis in Australia - they are rabidly passionate about their sport, more so than almost anywhere else in the world I’ve been to.\n\nIt’s the Queensland parochialism that shines through, but it’s also the way they get behind their codes. It’s not just about showing up, it’s about being loud and fanatical and immersing yourself in the occasion.\n\nBrisbane is an amazing city, highlighted with areas like the South Bank, West End, Fortitude Valley, and elevated with a body of water that runs right through the heart of the CBD.\n\nThe weather put on non-stop sun the entire weekend, with temperatures at a perfect 21 degrees. And the best part? If you want to extend the weekend out and make the most of the time off, the Sunshine and Gold Coasts are just short drives away. \n\n### 10.\tTHE MOMENTS\nLast but not least, when it comes down to brass tacks, Magic Round sets the stage for the biggest moments of all.\n\nWhether it was a last-minute field goal for Brisbane to get up over Manly, the Sharks and Roosters going tit for tat as the two in-form teams of the competition, or of course the Warriors tipping up the Panthers for an historic win, Magic Round gives the fans just that – a little bit of magic.\n\nAttendance across the three days of #NRLMagicRound = 149,196 🥳

Much love to Brisbane for your hospitality and putting on such an incredible event for rugby league fans!
\n\nSure, that happens week in week out in the NRL, but as a fan sitting at Suncorp, getting to witness those moments game after game in between all of the partying and festivities, those are the memories you’ll keep with you forever as you fly back home to New Zealand bleary-eyed and in need of a good sleep. It makes the weekend worth it and has you craving it all again in twelve months time.\n\nIf you’re an NRL fan, and you haven’t got Magic Round on your bucket list, get out the pen and paper immediately. Grab a group of mates, start saving up the party funds, book in your flights and accommodation as soon as the schedule is announced, and get yourself over to Brisbane in 2025. You won’t regret it.\n\n \n","date":"2024-05-21T14:00+12:00","author":"Sam Hewat","seoTitle":"Why NRL Magic Round should be on your sporting bucket list for 2025","seoDescription":"Here are 10 reasons why the weekend in Brisbane is everything an NRL fan could hope for.","seoKeywords":"SENZ","feature":{"title":"Warriors fans at NRL Magic Round 2024","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/2JPkEj4SFzM8yLuqMwtm2e/0caa15a61d5e63b6d654f5d2afd7febd/GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","details":{"size":10531293,"image":{"width":8116,"height":5372}},"fileName":"GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"},"$item":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"2JPkEj4SFzM8yLuqMwtm2e","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-21T02:21:52.085Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T02:21:52.085Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Warriors fans at NRL Magic Round 2024","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/2JPkEj4SFzM8yLuqMwtm2e/0caa15a61d5e63b6d654f5d2afd7febd/GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","details":{"size":10531293,"image":{"width":8116,"height":5372}},"fileName":"GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}}},"primaryTag":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true,"$item":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}}},"secondaryTags":[{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league","$item":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}}},{"title":"New Zealand Warriors","slug":"new-zealand-warriors","$item":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6SF7h865EoQoIM4VQh4j5M","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","updatedAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"New Zealand Warriors","slug":"new-zealand-warriors"}}}],"state":["NZ","QLD","NSW"],"$item":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"30SyKdsCUloUzrcyIwJwi7","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T02:50:31.160Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T03:04:29.859Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Why NRL Magic Round should be on your sporting bucket list for 2025","slug":"why-nrl-magic-round-should-be-on-your-sporting-bucket-list-for-2025","summary":"Here are 10 reasons why the weekend in Brisbane is everything an NRL fan could hope for.","content":"With the dust now settled on an epic weekend of NRL action in Brisbane and fans return home feeling full from an incredible smorgasbord of rugby league, there are at least three more years of the event being held at Suncorp Stadium to look forward to.\n\n*SENZ League* commentator Sam Hewat takes a look back at what made Magic Round 2024 special and why you need to do everything you can to get there in 2025.\n\n### 1.\tCAXTON STREET \nI remember for years hearing about the famous Caxton Street during State of Origin, where the team buses used to drive through enroute to Suncorp Stadium before it all became too hectic and a health and safety nightmare.\n\nDespite that, I never really appreciated or understood what exactly Caxton Street was and how much buzz it creates around a game (or games) of rugby league.\n\nLined with various watering holes and activities, Caxton Street is the starting point for the day at Magic Round - the pubs are packed, the fans are building a party atmosphere, and guess what… no fun police, and no dickheads.

It’s the problem that plagues so many sports whenever they try to put something different on during their seasons.\n\nBrisbane really is a sporting oasis in Australia - they are rabidly passionate about their sport, more so than almost anywhere else in the world I’ve been to.\n\nIt’s the Queensland parochialism that shines through, but it’s also the way they get behind their codes. It’s not just about showing up, it’s about being loud and fanatical and immersing yourself in the occasion.\n\nBrisbane is an amazing city, highlighted with areas like the South Bank, West End, Fortitude Valley, and elevated with a body of water that runs right through the heart of the CBD.\n\nThe weather put on non-stop sun the entire weekend, with temperatures at a perfect 21 degrees. And the best part? If you want to extend the weekend out and make the most of the time off, the Sunshine and Gold Coasts are just short drives away. \n\n### 10.\tTHE MOMENTS\nLast but not least, when it comes down to brass tacks, Magic Round sets the stage for the biggest moments of all.\n\nWhether it was a last-minute field goal for Brisbane to get up over Manly, the Sharks and Roosters going tit for tat as the two in-form teams of the competition, or of course the Warriors tipping up the Panthers for an historic win, Magic Round gives the fans just that – a little bit of magic.\n\nAttendance across the three days of #NRLMagicRound = 149,196 🥳

Much love to Brisbane for your hospitality and putting on such an incredible event for rugby league fans!
\n\nSure, that happens week in week out in the NRL, but as a fan sitting at Suncorp, getting to witness those moments game after game in between all of the partying and festivities, those are the memories you’ll keep with you forever as you fly back home to New Zealand bleary-eyed and in need of a good sleep. It makes the weekend worth it and has you craving it all again in twelve months time.\n\nIf you’re an NRL fan, and you haven’t got Magic Round on your bucket list, get out the pen and paper immediately. Grab a group of mates, start saving up the party funds, book in your flights and accommodation as soon as the schedule is announced, and get yourself over to Brisbane in 2025. You won’t regret it.\n\n \n","date":"2024-05-21T14:00+12:00","author":"Sam Hewat","seoTitle":"Why NRL Magic Round should be on your sporting bucket list for 2025","seoDescription":"Here are 10 reasons why the weekend in Brisbane is everything an NRL fan could hope for.","seoKeywords":"SENZ","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"2JPkEj4SFzM8yLuqMwtm2e","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-21T02:21:52.085Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T02:21:52.085Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Warriors fans at NRL Magic Round 2024","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/2JPkEj4SFzM8yLuqMwtm2e/0caa15a61d5e63b6d654f5d2afd7febd/GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","details":{"size":10531293,"image":{"width":8116,"height":5372}},"fileName":"GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6SF7h865EoQoIM4VQh4j5M","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","updatedAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"New Zealand Warriors","slug":"new-zealand-warriors"}}],"state":["NZ","QLD","NSW"]}}},{"title":"Smith praises injury-hit Warriors after big upset over Penrith ","slug":"smith-praises-injury-hit-warriors-after-big-upset-over-penrith","summary":"The Warriors were without a number of their regular starters.","content":"NRL great Cameron Smith has applauded the New Zealand Warriors following their shock victory over the Penrith Panthers at Magic Round yesterday.\n\nThe injury-hit Warriors walked away 22-20 winners in one of the biggest upsets of the season, ending a five-game winless streak that began with their draw against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in Round 6. \n\nThe Warriors were without regular starters Shaun Johnson, Tohu Harris, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Kurt Capewell, Luke Metcalf, Marata Niukore, and Rocco Berry forcing largely untested rookies to play bigger minutes than initially predicted. \n\nNew Zealand also lost Wayde Egan after 12 minutes to a Category 1 concussion, while Jackson Ford and Marcelo Montoya spent time off undergoing head injury assessments before passing and returning. \n\nSmith said the Warriors played extremely well to get the win considering their injury toll, and the atmosphere was enormous. \n\n“I think they played an extremely tough brand of footy and were very resilient,” Smith told *Breakfast with Vossy & Brandy*.\n\n“The Warriors had to fight hard.

Get him to the centre position.”\n\nSmith, however, was unsure how moving Mitchell from fullback would realistically pan out at the Rabbitohs.\n\n“I’m not sure if you (South Sydney) have got a fullback. We know Jye Gray is still injured,” Smith said.\n\n“And then you think about how that plays out in reality. Ben Hornby, coaching his fourth game, walks up to Latrell and goes ‘Hey, Latrell I’m going to put you in the centres’. Good luck with that one.”\n\nFollowing injuries to Tom Trbojevic, Mitchell is in contention for a NSW Origin centre spot based off his previous performances in the role. However, he’s considered unlikely given there is plenty of competition from other players for the spot including Stephen Crichton, Bradman Best, and Jesse Ramien. \n\nMitchell and the Rabbitohs will this week be hunting for their second win of the season against fellow battlers the Parramatta Eels at Accor Stadium, who are coming off a big loss to the Melbourne Storm at Magic Round.

Rabbitohs need to move Mitchell to centre.","content":"SEN’s Jimmy Smith has said the South Sydney Rabbitohs must move Latrell Mitchell to centre as he is physically unable to do what is needed for the team.\n\nMitchell has copped significant criticism this season over his form and discipline, which has only been intensified after South Sydney’s poor start to the year has them last on the NRL ladder after eleven rounds with one win. \n\nMitchell recently returned from a three-week suspension, but Smith believes, after the two games since his return, the Rabbitohs must move their star fullback out of the custodial position.\n\n“I was watching closely the play of Latrell Mitchell at fullback and physically he is incapable of providing for that team what is required of your fullback,” Smith said on *The Jimmy Smith Show*. \n\n“I mean (incapable) by connection to the line in defence, talking to people… where’s the organisation of the defensive line… you see this at the ground just how far away, how disconnected, Latrell is from his defensive line.\n\n“There is a short kick opportunity for… Mitchell Moses for the Parramatta Eels against the South Sydney Rabbitohs this week. \n\n“Then there’s a lack of involvement, how much involvement? 14 carries for 70 metres. Get him to the centre position.”\n\nSmith, however, was unsure how moving Mitchell from fullback would realistically pan out at the Rabbitohs.\n\n“I’m not sure if you (South Sydney) have got a fullback. We know Jye Gray is still injured,” Smith said.\n\n“And then you think about how that plays out in reality. Ben Hornby, coaching his fourth game, walks up to Latrell and goes ‘Hey, Latrell I’m going to put you in the centres’. Good luck with that one.”\n\nFollowing injuries to Tom Trbojevic, Mitchell is in contention for a NSW Origin centre spot based off his previous performances in the role. However, he’s considered unlikely given there is plenty of competition from other players for the spot including Stephen Crichton, Bradman Best, and Jesse Ramien. \n\nMitchell and the Rabbitohs will this week be hunting for their second win of the season against fellow battlers the Parramatta Eels at Accor Stadium, who are coming off a big loss to the Melbourne Storm at Magic Round. \n\n","date":"2024-05-20T14:08+10:00","author":"Sam Kosack","seoTitle":"\"Physically, he is incapable\": Should the Rabbitohs move Latrell Mitchell from fullback?","seoDescription":"Jimmy Smith believes the Rabbitohs need to move Mitchell to centre.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5vAnOuHhh9mg4EqcFIxCVl","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2023-08-24T04:24:35.106Z","updatedAt":"2023-08-24T04:24:35.106Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Latrell Mitchell","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/5vAnOuHhh9mg4EqcFIxCVl/11d91fe5d5753a00c32b8d17f757fd2a/GettyImages-1491457738.jpg","details":{"size":677806,"image":{"width":2252,"height":1501}},"fileName":"GettyImages-1491457738.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"2pi5fwLuWk0a0oWsSQsu4W","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2018-10-25T07:13:06.774Z","updatedAt":"2023-07-23T02:53:19.280Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"South Sydney Rabbitohs ","slug":"south-sydney"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD","NZ"]}}}],"state":"NZ","useFeaturedContentFallback":false,"$item":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"1Sqzr40humJ26roZiTjKAN","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2021-05-10T23:07:12.773Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T03:05:48.517Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":4158,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"page--home"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Home - SENZ","seoTitle":"SENZ - New Zealand's Home of Sport ","seoDescription":"SENZ sport radio talkback and Live RUGBY, NRL, AFL, Cricket, Horse Racing and much more.

Just fans having fun, enjoying themselves, sharing some pre-match laughs, and getting ready to walk just five minutes to the gates of Suncorp Stadium.\n\n### 2.\tSUNCORP STADIUM \nHands down, the best sporting venue in the Southern Hemisphere. Sure, we can argue all day about grounds like the MCG or the Sydney Football Stadium, but none of them have the atmosphere and feel of Suncorp.\n\n50,000+ people packed into a rectangular ground where you’re basically on top of the field makes for a supreme cauldron. The noise is deafening, as we found out walking up the turnstiles during the Raiders v Bulldogs match on the opening day. \n\nEvery moment of the match is amplified by the sound the venue creates, and that’s before we talk about the flawless logistics of the place. Not once did we see or encounter queues, or have any problem getting out of the stadium once the final whistle went.\n\nIn fact, it’s quite surreal seeing how quickly Suncorp empties out once the evening is finished. It is a world-class venue, perfectly designed for rugby league with a rich history to match.\n\n### 3.\tTHE JERSEYS \nIf you’re a bit of a rugby league nuffie, you will revel in the memories that come flooding back as you walk around Brisbane for Magic Round weekend.\n\nEvery jersey from past and present is on display as fans proudly parade the streets wearing Raiders and Broncos jerseys from the 90s, Balmain Tigers kits from the 80s, and Bulldogs jerseys from the 70s, and even the never-forgotten North Sydney Bears.\n\nNot only does it build the vibe and the atmosphere around rugby league, they become great conversation starters as you bump into random people on the street. Ironically, despite supporting different teams, fans are united by their admiration for an old piece of kit and it lets you know rugby league is well in truly in town.\n\n### 4.\tEX-PLAYERS \nRugby union, listen up! Part of what makes Magic Round a mecca for rugby league fans, is the fact you can be walking down Caxton Street, or going to your seat at Suncorp, and bump into legends of the game.\n\nCam Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Freddy Fittler, Blake Ayshford, Gorden Tallis - these guys are walking around with the fans getting pictures, sharing laughs, maybe a bit of NSW v QLD banter, and enjoying the footy alongside everyone else.\n\nIt would be very easy for them to stick to their corporate boxes away from everyone and slip in and out of the venue, but no. The NRL makes sure they are on proud display for everyone to see.\n\nHead to The Lord Alfred before a game and Cam Smith will be inside having beers, go to the Caxton Hotel and Matty Johns will be the life of the party, and if you’re a Warriors fan, you can find yourself walking up to Suncorp alongside Kevin Campion or Mark Tookey.\n\n### 5.\tTHE LIVE SHOWS \nIf you’re a fan of rugby league podcasts like The Levels Network, The Bye Round, Hello Sport, or Matty Johns, Magic Round is the perfect opportunity to see your favourite hosts in action.\n\nAlmost every major rugby league podcast had some sort of show (or shows) across the weekend, whether it be at the pubs, outside Suncorp, or inside the stadium. These shows are interactive, they’re loud, they’re engaging, and they include everyone - not just the guests and the stars of the game, but the fans and kids too.\n\nI can’t tell you how many people have been raving to me about catching their favourite shows live in the flesh and getting photos afterwards - it’s just another way the NRL promote their game so well.\n\n\n\n### 6.\tFAN ENGAGEMENT \nWe’ve long said that sport needs to make sure it’s more than just the 80 minutes on the paddock, and most of the above plays into this next point. No one does it quite like the NRL and Magic Round when it comes to pulling the fans into the occasion.\n\nWe’ve mentioned Caxton Street, lined with events and great venues to get the Magic Round buzz, but it includes a whole lot more - closed for the entire weekend to car traffic, the road is full with games to play for prizes, DJs, food trucks, and fan activations.\n\nIf you’re with kids and not keen on wading through the pub pandemonium, they’ll have a blast trying to win a jersey, an NRL ball, or a free Magic Round hat.\n\nAs you arrive at Suncorp, it gets even better. There are numerous areas outside to sit and enjoy the Brisbane sun, watch the action on the big screen, grab a bite or a drink, and once again win some awesome prizes.\n\nOnce you enter, the buzz of the NRL hits you squarely in the nostrils - and it’s the little things that make it so much fun. The 'Faces of Magic Round' on the big screen, panning through the crowd with hilarious filters get fans in fits of laughter.\n\nThere was the promotion by Westpac where any game ball that lands in the crowd is allowed to be kept, where normally they have to be returned to the officials. And the halftime fireworks, pyrotechnics, live performances, and shirt cannons mean there isn’t a single moment of the weekend where you’re not having the time of your life.\n\n### 7.\tTHE RUGBY LEAGUE \nNeedless to say, the action in the middle of the Suncorp turf plays a supplementary role to all of the above. However, Magic Round never fails to deliver on some scintillating rugby league.\n\nOn the whole, it’s a pretty easy concept - get all of the NRL clubs to play at one venue over the course of the weekend. Non-stop action, almost no time between games, and fans get their money’s worth every step of the way.\n\nBut it’s not like a Nines tournament, or Rugby Sevens, this is right in the middle of the NRL season where games genuinely mean as much as the week before, or the week after. As a result, there is no gimmicky feeling to the action on the field.\n\nYou also get a chance to see all the best players in the game, in the space of three days. Granted, this year had its fair share of injuries, but being able to see every top-level player go toe-to-toe for three days straight is something you’d never be able to do without a Magic Round. The first six games of Magic Round had winning margins of four, one, four, eight, six, and two - meaning all but the final two matches came down to the wire, giving the fans a reason to stay in their seat for the entire 80 minutes.\n\nCronulla complete the comeback to beat the Sydney Roosters 38-30 and remain top of the NRL ladder!#NRLSharksRoosters pic.twitter.com/igqqK0EHlG

\n\n### 8.\tCROWDS AND STADIUM SECURITY \nI’m yet to hear of any major problems or issues within the Suncorp crowd over Magic Round. With a party atmosphere flying around the weekend, it would make sense for things to get a little out of control at times. But it never came to fruition from what I saw, and instead you had a whole bunch of fans supporting their teams and getting right into the action while enjoying themselves.\n\nClose to 150,000 people attended the event across the three days, averaging 50,000 - meaning the NRL was just 2,500 people shy each day of a complete sellout.\n\nHOW GOOD!@NZWarriors CEO Cameron George crashes the SENZ commentary box at Magic Round 😆#NRLWarriorsPanthers pic.twitter.com/nwqndKIKpp
— SENZ (@SENZ_Radio) May 19, 2024
\n\nThe atmosphere was also aided by stadium security at Suncorp, which is unlike anything I’ve experienced in New Zealand.\n\nNot only is entry and exit into the stadium seamless, but the mandate to let fans enjoy themselves meant no one was being kicked out for having an oversized flag or carrying one too many drinks. No one was blocked from walking to different areas of the stadium, and guess what? Not a single streaker or pitch invader across the entire weekend. \n\n### 9.\tBRISBANE \nThe NRL has got the number one thing right with Magic Round – location. It’s the problem that plagues so many sports whenever they try to put something different on during their seasons.\n\nBrisbane really is a sporting oasis in Australia - they are rabidly passionate about their sport, more so than almost anywhere else in the world I’ve been to.\n\nIt’s the Queensland parochialism that shines through, but it’s also the way they get behind their codes. It’s not just about showing up, it’s about being loud and fanatical and immersing yourself in the occasion.\n\nBrisbane is an amazing city, highlighted with areas like the South Bank, West End, Fortitude Valley, and elevated with a body of water that runs right through the heart of the CBD.\n\nThe weather put on non-stop sun the entire weekend, with temperatures at a perfect 21 degrees. And the best part? If you want to extend the weekend out and make the most of the time off, the Sunshine and Gold Coasts are just short drives away. \n\n### 10.\tTHE MOMENTS\nLast but not least, when it comes down to brass tacks, Magic Round sets the stage for the biggest moments of all.\n\nWhether it was a last-minute field goal for Brisbane to get up over Manly, the Sharks and Roosters going tit for tat as the two in-form teams of the competition, or of course the Warriors tipping up the Panthers for an historic win, Magic Round gives the fans just that – a little bit of magic.\n\nAttendance across the three days of #NRLMagicRound = 149,196 🥳

Much love to Brisbane for your hospitality and putting on such an incredible event for rugby league fans!
\n\nSure, that happens week in week out in the NRL, but as a fan sitting at Suncorp, getting to witness those moments game after game in between all of the partying and festivities, those are the memories you’ll keep with you forever as you fly back home to New Zealand bleary-eyed and in need of a good sleep. It makes the weekend worth it and has you craving it all again in twelve months time.\n\nIf you’re an NRL fan, and you haven’t got Magic Round on your bucket list, get out the pen and paper immediately. Grab a group of mates, start saving up the party funds, book in your flights and accommodation as soon as the schedule is announced, and get yourself over to Brisbane in 2025. You won’t regret it.\n\n \n","date":"2024-05-21T14:00+12:00","author":"Sam Hewat","seoTitle":"Why NRL Magic Round should be on your sporting bucket list for 2025","seoDescription":"Here are 10 reasons why the weekend in Brisbane is everything an NRL fan could hope for.","seoKeywords":"SENZ","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"2JPkEj4SFzM8yLuqMwtm2e","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-21T02:21:52.085Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T02:21:52.085Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Warriors fans at NRL Magic Round 2024","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/2JPkEj4SFzM8yLuqMwtm2e/0caa15a61d5e63b6d654f5d2afd7febd/GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","details":{"size":10531293,"image":{"width":8116,"height":5372}},"fileName":"GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6SF7h865EoQoIM4VQh4j5M","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","updatedAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"New Zealand Warriors","slug":"new-zealand-warriors"}}],"state":["NZ","QLD","NSW"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4QVUM1UYmUBLLzIgaW0ZgF","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T03:03:24.259Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T03:03:24.259Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Smith praises injury-hit Warriors after big upset over Penrith ","slug":"smith-praises-injury-hit-warriors-after-big-upset-over-penrith","summary":"The Warriors were without a number of their regular starters.","content":"NRL great Cameron Smith has applauded the New Zealand Warriors following their shock victory over the Penrith Panthers at Magic Round yesterday.\n\nThe injury-hit Warriors walked away 22-20 winners in one of the biggest upsets of the season, ending a five-game winless streak that began with their draw against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in Round 6. \n\nThe Warriors were without regular starters Shaun Johnson, Tohu Harris, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Kurt Capewell, Luke Metcalf, Marata Niukore, and Rocco Berry forcing largely untested rookies to play bigger minutes than initially predicted. \n\nNew Zealand also lost Wayde Egan after 12 minutes to a Category 1 concussion, while Jackson Ford and Marcelo Montoya spent time off undergoing head injury assessments before passing and returning. \n\nSmith said the Warriors played extremely well to get the win considering their injury toll, and the atmosphere was enormous. \n\n“I think they played an extremely tough brand of footy and were very resilient,” Smith told *Breakfast with Vossy & Brandy*.\n\n“The Warriors had to fight hard. They were missing a few of their stars… and to get the win the way they did, they had to come from behind, and to win it by two points was fantastic. \n\n“My goodness, the noise from the crowd… that was as big as any finals game I’ve been at, getting close to sort of origin-like. It was loud, so that was a wonderful moment for the weekend. \n\nDespite their shock loss, Smith isn’t concerned about a drop in-form for the Penrith Panthers. \n\n“There are high standards around Penrith… most weeks we expect them to be faultless… at the end of the day, they’re human beings. They’re a footy side who can have an off week,” Smith commented. \n\n“There’s no doubt there’s been some change the club, they’ve lost some quality individuals, that’s always going to have an impact. \n\n“I think it might just be a blip on the radar. That’s taking nothing away from the Warriors… to be able to get up against a Panthers’ team… was pretty special but I’m not reading too much into that loss.”\n\nPenrith were without star Nathan Cleary, who is out for roughly seven more weeks with a hamstring injury. \n\nThe Warriors return to New Zealand to take on The Dolphins this Sunday. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T13:03+10:00","author":"Sam Kosack","seoTitle":"Smith praises injury-hit Warriors after big upset over Penrith ","seoDescription":"The Warriors were without a number of their regular starters.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"3tOibQe7ZWciLPloxWxAsh","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-20T05:20:13.204Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-20T05:20:13.204Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"new zealand warriors upset penrith","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/3tOibQe7ZWciLPloxWxAsh/43df054958a3746938ff0c6a13593a9b/GettyImages-2153619535.jpg","details":{"size":1109393,"image":{"width":3000,"height":1999}},"fileName":"GettyImages-2153619535.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6SF7h865EoQoIM4VQh4j5M","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","updatedAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"New Zealand Warriors","slug":"new-zealand-warriors"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5jLyH0nGZxS5wL9agOUv8T","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2022-06-16T06:16:12.275Z","updatedAt":"2022-06-16T06:16:12.275Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Penrith Panthers","slug":"penrith-panthers"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD","NZ"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5YSiHt2lqiAgVA6JmMe6z8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T00:36:42.769Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T00:36:42.769Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Wayne Bennett signs three-year deal with South Sydney ","slug":"wayne-bennett-signs-three-year-deal-with-south-sydney","summary":"The Supercoach returns to Redfern to address some unfinished business.

Get him to the centre position.”\n\nSmith, however, was unsure how moving Mitchell from fullback would realistically pan out at the Rabbitohs.\n\n“I’m not sure if you (South Sydney) have got a fullback. We know Jye Gray is still injured,” Smith said.\n\n“And then you think about how that plays out in reality. Ben Hornby, coaching his fourth game, walks up to Latrell and goes ‘Hey, Latrell I’m going to put you in the centres’. Good luck with that one.”\n\nFollowing injuries to Tom Trbojevic, Mitchell is in contention for a NSW Origin centre spot based off his previous performances in the role. However, he’s considered unlikely given there is plenty of competition from other players for the spot including Stephen Crichton, Bradman Best, and Jesse Ramien. \n\nMitchell and the Rabbitohs will this week be hunting for their second win of the season against fellow battlers the Parramatta Eels at Accor Stadium, who are coming off a big loss to the Melbourne Storm at Magic Round. \n\n","date":"2024-05-20T14:08+10:00","author":"Sam Kosack","seoTitle":"\"Physically, he is incapable\": Should the Rabbitohs move Latrell Mitchell from fullback?","seoDescription":"Jimmy Smith believes the Rabbitohs need to move Mitchell to centre.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5vAnOuHhh9mg4EqcFIxCVl","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2023-08-24T04:24:35.106Z","updatedAt":"2023-08-24T04:24:35.106Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Latrell Mitchell","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/5vAnOuHhh9mg4EqcFIxCVl/11d91fe5d5753a00c32b8d17f757fd2a/GettyImages-1491457738.jpg","details":{"size":677806,"image":{"width":2252,"height":1501}},"fileName":"GettyImages-1491457738.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"2pi5fwLuWk0a0oWsSQsu4W","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2018-10-25T07:13:06.774Z","updatedAt":"2023-07-23T02:53:19.280Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"South Sydney Rabbitohs ","slug":"south-sydney"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD","NZ"]}}],"state":"NZ","useFeaturedContentFallback":false}}},"trackHomepage":{"title":"Home - TRACK ","seoTitle":"SEN - Australia's Home of Horse Racing","seoDescription":"SEN Track is the new sound of racing, chasing and pacing and the home of horse racing, greyhound racing and harness racing for content, news, tips and best bets.","seoKeywords":"1116;SEN;Melbourne;Radio;Station;Sport;News;Talk;AFL;Footy;sports radio station;Sports Radio;Sport Radio Melbourne;Sport Melbourne","slug":"track","featuredContent":[{"title":"“On a good track it wins”: Cam Luke's J.J.

\n\n“There’s a horse that won on Saturday night at Newbury, the horse’s name is Middle Earth,” Luke said on *SEN*. \n\n“It won over 2400 metres, it’s now on its way to Australia. Ciaron Maher is going to train it. \n\n“It’s in the Melbourne Cup market and if you had of shopped around before last night’s win, you could have got bigger than what it currently is… it’s $18 now, it’s a little unders. \n\n“But based on how he ran last night, I think he’ll win the Caulfield Cup. Not to say he can’t run a really nice Melbourne Cup, but he’s $34 for the Caulfield Cup. \n\n“Just have a little play… maybe the Melbourne Cup is the way he’ll go… but if he runs in the Caulfield Cup, he won’t start $34, I can tell you that much.” \n\nMiddle Earth’s ownership believe their gelding is better on top of the ground, conditions he’s likely to strike in Melbourne in spring. \n\nQatar Bloodstock’s David Redvers said after the race that Middle Earth will likely need head to the Group 2 Hardwick Stakes on the final day of the Royal Ascot carnival. \n\n“The long-term plan is the Melbourne Cup,” he confirmed. \n\n“Well done to Ciaron and team, Will Bourne, we are very excited to be on that journey.”\n\n\n\n_________________________________________________________________________________\n\n*__Imagine what you could be buying instead.__ For free and confidential support call 1800 858 858

","content":"It’s impossible to quantify who are the AFL’s most clutch players, right? Think again. \n\nCompetitions analysis boss Daniel Hoyne joins *SEN’s Sportsday* every Tuesday and this week was given the task of finding the league’s most clutch players. \n\n“We’ve just got a smallish sample size of the last two years and we're just trying to keep it simple,” Hoyne said on the prospect. \n\n“We decided to have a look at games decided by under two goals and how (players) performed in that final quarter, just to keep it really simple and as a starting point. \n\n“It’s thrown up a really good list, I must be honest. \n\n“This is a minimum of five games you must have played in games decided by under two goals.” \n\nSee Champion Data’s top 15 with comments from Hoyne below. \n\n\n\n[](https://senstadium.com.au/)\n\n[](https://www.sen.com.au/app/)\n\n__1. Noah Anderson (Gold Coast)__\n\n“Noah Anderson comes out as the no.1 clutch player in the competition over the last two years in games decided by under two goals, clearly number one. \n\n“His performance over the last two years in those moments and those games have been enormous… it’s his overall rating, so how he’s won the ball, how he’s used it and where on the ground he’s impacted the game. \n\n“His ability to be able to win clearance and contest in those five matches he’s played in the final quarter has been superb and then he’s been able to get it on the scoreboard as well.” \n\n__2. Tom Liberatore (Western Bulldogs)__\n\n“Libba comes in at number two. So often we go straight to Bont (Marcus Bontempelli)… but Libba’s ability to be able to impact the game at clearance in these tight last quarters and get the ball going forward has been superb.”\n\n__3. Sam Taylor (GWS Giants)__\n\n“This one took my interest. He’s played in six quarters over the last two years where games have been decided by under 12 points and what he’s done in those six quarters, his intercept marking, ability to hold up against momentum has been a bit of a point of difference. \n\n“A lot of these players we’re seeing their work ahead of the ball and seeing their work at clearance and contest, but his ability to hold up behind the footy and be that roadblock (has been the standard).” \n\n__4.

I don’t know whether there needs to be a reset. Is this a trend? Is it a pattern of behaviour? I’m not sure. Maybe it’s just an event.\n\n“That’s a lot of players out of the game. We want the best players playing for long periods. \n\n\n\n“It’s difficult to put it to one thing. It’s a lot of things. I think there’s only four or five concussions amongst that 150-odd out. \n\n“If you want my opinion, I just feel like the game itself, we’re asking a lot of our players.\n\n“Is the game too long?”\n\nMcRae pondered the incremental increase in length of AFL seasons which last year jumped to 23 home and away matches and this year holds 24 rounds after the addition of Opening Round. \n\nHe feels that the game is asking a lot of the players and the unspoken feedback is coming in waves, in the way of constant unavailability. \n\n“They (the AFL) want to play more games. Potentially they want to play more games like in hub life,” he added.\n\n“We’re playing off five and six-day breaks, our players are doing that weekly, and it’s not just us, it’s every team.\n\n“Then there’s a flow-on effect of fatigue and the game has never been more powerful and physical in my eyes. From what I see from the boundary line and see our players post games.\n\n[](https://senstadium.com.au/)\n\n“We’re asking a lot of them. As athletes they look fitter and stronger than they’ve ever been. We start the season earlier, there’s still 15 rounds to go.\n\n“I just think there’s something to be said about the game which is giving us feedback. 150 players out, that’s giving us feedback.\n\n“If you’re comparing year to year, it’s a big number (153 unavailable players).”\n\nMcRae looks at shortened game time, like during the COVID-impacted season of 2020, as one possible solution to the injury crisis. \n\n“In hub life we played less time and I don’t think the game was any less of a product. Clearly we didn’t have the crowds to back that up,” McRae said further. \n\n“We were having five and six-day breaks regularly. We’re going into our third six-day break in a row, there is a fatigue level. \n\n“I don’t want to make this a Collingwood-centric thing, because it’s not, it’s a cost to all of our players. \n\n“When I come into match committee this week and you look at the magnets, you go ‘wow’, and then I hear this information.\n\n“It’s real.” \n\nPrior to Round 10, the Magpies had 13 players on their injury list, not including Jordan De Goey who played in the narrow win over Adelaide, but has [pulled up sore since](https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/05/20/collingwood-release-troubling-news-about-de-goeys-health-as-injury-list/). \n\nIn their victory over the Crows, Reef McInnes was concussed while Will Hoskin-Elliott suffered a hamstring injury \n\nThe reigning premiers next meet Fremantle in Perth on Friday night. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T07:40+10:00","author":"Andrew Slevison","seoTitle":"“Is the game too long?”: AFL injury crisis has Collingwood coach pondering length of the game","seoDescription":"More than 150 players were unavailable in Round 10.","seoKeywords":"AFL","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"3rnS5vw99XvTSJyddVtGVg","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-20T21:36:14.784Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-20T21:36:14.784Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Craig McRae Collingwood ","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/3rnS5vw99XvTSJyddVtGVg/056c3d711b34fff7f7a4d9b7bdb78534/07EsCo24DB2127.jpg","details":{"size":8129060,"image":{"width":5213,"height":3475}},"fileName":"07EsCo24DB2127.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5uOBi2OdBCeMgICO86cwWG","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:54.508Z","updatedAt":"2018-10-18T02:38:42.586Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":4,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"AFL","bgColour":"0060ff","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"afl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"3xw1XmSarFSlxfDZZ62HVM","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-04-03T00:11:51.559Z","updatedAt":"2024-04-03T00:13:08.044Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"AFL Teams","slug":"afl-all-teams","primary":false}}],"state":["QLD","NSW","TAS","WA","VIC","SA"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"12UpA5mYd5sdOc3WRX4t8b","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T02:48:23.080Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T02:48:23.080Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"“Anyone suggesting that… is 100 per cent wrong”: Lyon’s mail on Stringer contract talks","slug":"anyone-suggesting-that-is-100-per-cent-wrong-lyons-mail-on-stringer-contract","summary":"“I think he would be very happy and satisfied if he was to get a two-year contract.” ","content":"Essendon livewire Jake Stringer is in negotiations for a new contract at the Bombers, with *SEN’s* Garry Lyon revealing fresh details on the talks. \n\nStringer is enjoying his best start to a season since 2021, the year he last penned a contract extension at Essendon. \n\nThe 30-year-old’s deal comes to an end this season. A recent report from the *Herald Sun* had suggested Stringer was pushing for a three-year contract, although Essendon was aware the former Bulldog “can return to pre-seasons out of shape” and his professionalism could dip if given a longer deal. \n\nBuy Lyon, who interviewed Stringer on Monday night on *Fox Footy’s On The Couch*, insists the Bombers forward is happy with a shorter contract. \n\n“Let me just say this. Anyone who’s suggesting he’s chasing three years is 100 per cent wrong, that’s about all I could glean from it,” Lyon told *SEN Breakfast*. \n\n\n\n[](https://senstadium.com.au/)\n\n“I think he would be very happy and satisfied if he was to get a two-year contract.” \n\n*Breakfast* co-host Tim Watson added: “Given his past record in conditioning and that type of thing... it’s not unusual that football clubs put players on a one-year contract and they keep playing out one-year deals. We’ve seen that before.”\n\nStringer was forecast to put his best foot forward given his contract status this year and after getting his body right in pre-season, hasn’t disappointed. \n\nHe’s booted 19 goals from 10 games this season, averaging 12.3 disposals per game as a pure impact player. \n\nEssendon’s new list boss Matt Rosa told *AFL Media* last week that contract discussions with the 2016 premiership player were underway. \n\n“It's another one where we're in conversations with Jake's management team. We're just really pleased with the way Jake's playing but also the headspace he's in and the work he's putting in off-field. He's a much-loved player at Essendon and Jake loves the club also so those talks are progressing well,” Rosa said on *Gettable*. \n\nStringer’s resurgence has played a key role in Essendon shooting up the ladder, with the Bombers now eying eight wins from their last nine games should triumph over Richmond in the annual Dreamtime at the ‘G game. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T12:25+10:00","author":"Seb Mottram","seoTitle":"“Anyone suggesting that… is 100 per cent wrong”: Lyon’s mail on Stringer contract talks","seoDescription":"“I think he would be very happy and satisfied if he was to get a two-year contract.” ","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"32uE7LKj8pAVkBB6yBF0Sg","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-21T02:28:14.320Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T02:28:14.320Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Jake Stringer ","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/32uE7LKj8pAVkBB6yBF0Sg/fa4f01f7909bb724694058a52b2e49dc/09EsGWS24DP049122536.jpg","details":{"size":3633899,"image":{"width":4852,"height":3235}},"fileName":"09EsGWS24DP049122536.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5uOBi2OdBCeMgICO86cwWG","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:54.508Z","updatedAt":"2018-10-18T02:38:42.586Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":4,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"AFL","bgColour":"0060ff","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"afl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"1lRx4Xd2kwcG62OEMkEYWa","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:32:19.512Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:07.869Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Essendon","aflId":5,"slug":"essendon"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"o7n7zPKCaRDoXYSdmRExk","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:02.773Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:02.773Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Why Fraser-McGurk and Short were added to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad","slug":"why-fraser-mcgurk-and-short-were-added-to-australias-t20-world-cup-squad","summary":"“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer.”","content":"Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short have been added as travelling reserves to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad, although both won’t play unless there is an injury in the squad. \n\nWith Andrew McDonald and members of his squad set to fly out on Wednesday for the World Cup in the West Indies and the US, the Australian coach joined *SEN’s Whateley* to detail changes to the travelling party. \n\nIn-form opener Fraser-McGurk and BBL star Short have been added to the 15-man squad, with McDonald stating the batters bring different qualities. \n\n“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer. Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round… we have no fears he won’t be fit and fully available.”\n\nAustralia’s first of four group stage games comes against Oman in Barbados on June 6. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:27+10:00","author":"Seb

weekend.","content":"What did your club get right and what did your club get wrong in Round 10?\n\nWe had nine matches across the weekend with some remarkable finishes, some huge spankings and some massive individual performances.\n\nSee our assessments below:\n\n\n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Final term comeback and staying in it all day__\n\nAdelaide never gave in on Saturday at the MCG despite trailing for 109 of 121 minutes.\n\nThey easily could have dropped their head early on, particularly after the Pies skipped out to a 30-point lead in the second term after kicking six goals in a row.\n\nMany other teams, particularly from interstate, would have dropped their bundle in enemy territory against the reigning premiers.\n\nBut not Adelaide. Even though they didn’t win, they gave themselves enough chances to.\n\nThis team still believes their best is good enough to match it with the best, and they’re not wrong.\n\nIt’s one small thing to hang their hat on.\n\n__Getting the ball inside 50__\n\nThe Crows gave their forwards enough opportunities to win Saturday’s game, going inside 50 on 58 occasions to Collingwood’s 49.\n\nIn the final quarter alone, they went in 16 times to Collingwood’s nine. That’s where they really had the chance to win.\n\nLooking at expected score as well, the Crows only were behind 68.3 to 67.6, proving that the result was really a coinflip as the Magpies came up clutch.\n\nOn other occasions, those inside 50s will result in more scores and the Crows will get more reward for their efforts.\n\nIt was a defeat, but one they’ll take a lot of positives from.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Not sending anyone to Daicos in the first half__\n\nAdelaide should never have let Nick Daicos run free for the first half on Saturday.\n\nI mean, he’s a top two or three player in the competition on form and is only building into his season now.\n\nThe Pies superstar had a ridiculous 10 clearances and 24 disposals in the first half alone.\n\nWhile Jordan Dawson sat on him at stoppage in the second half, restricting him somewhat to four clearances and 17 disposals from then on, most of the damage was already done.\n\nWe’re not saying they should have tagged Daicos outright, but he’s one of a couple of players in the league that you need to put time into or else you will bleed.\n\nIn a game that was so tight in the end, it was just about the difference in the result.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Selfless Lions__ \n\nThe Lions shared the ball around at will, given the lack of Richmond pressure that came their way. \n\nThey were able to do as they pleased in and around forward 50, highlighted by Lachie Neale’s remarkable six goal assists.\n\nLogan Morris, Eric Hipwood, Joe Daniher and Jarrod Berry all had two goal assists each and the general finding of a teammate in a better position was evident all night. \n\nDespite two bags of five from Kai Lohmann and Charlie Cameron, their 26 goals were spread across 12 players which is a great sign for Chris Fagan. \n\n__Finishing was on fire__ \n\nBrisbane kicked 26.7 in a damaging display of finishing and accuracy. \n\nBefore Saturday night, the Lions had only kicked more goals than behinds in two matches in 2024. \n\nIt helps when you are afforded so much time and space to be able to conjure constant shots at goal, but they were able to put them away - something that has evaded them for much of the campaign. \n\n__Lohmann breaks out, Ah Chee delivers__ \n\nHe’s been bubbling away with some solid performances in the senior side this year, but Lohmann produced the best game of his career. \n\nLohmann had a nice fill-up with five goals from 14 disposals and seven marks, doing the damage early with a pair of majors in the first term. \n\nIt is normally the usual suspects whenever the Lions have a win, so it was nice to see an emerging player, in just his 18th AFL game, shine so brightly. \n\nCallum Ah Chee also got in on the act again with 19 disposals and 12 marks. \n\nHis hanger in the second quarter was a thing of beauty. \n\n__Relentless and ruthless all night__\n\nThe Lions jumped out of the blocks with seven first-quarter goals to Richmond’s zero.\n\nBut it wasn’t a one off.\n\nThey kept their foot on the throat of the Tigers, piling on six goals in the second, eight in the third and five more in the last. \n\nIt was a relentless and ruthless performance, perhaps the one that will truly kickstart their run towards finals. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Hipwood report and clearance numbers__ \n\nIt’s hard to find any woes in a 119-point win.\n\nThe only negative we can find is the tackle by Eric Hipwood on Nick Vlastuin which led to a one-week suspension (pending any possible Lions appeal). \n\nSomehow they were also beaten in clearances (35-36) and centre clearances (11-16), but obviously those numbers had zero impact on the game. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Zac Williams to half forward__ \n\nZac Williams has mostly struggled to find form in defence this year and has looked half the player he was before the ACL injury.\n\nThe Blues moved Williams to half forward in this one given the mountain of injuries they have to their forwards and he looked good early.\n\nHe was moved around following Jacob Weitering’s injury, but it was a role worth persisting with.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Carlton’s midfield is too slow__ \n\nSydney isn’t the first team to exploit Carlton when they play all of Cripps, Kennedy and Hewett, but it was particularly evident on Friday night.\n\nThe Swans did as they pleased at centre bounces and when the ball went their way, they were off to the races.\n\nCarlton clearly noticed the issue, trying Corey Durdin on-ball at stages, but that’s not the answer either.\n\nThe Blues need more dynamic players in the middle and Elijah Hollands is surely the one to receive a few opportunities in Adam Cerra’s absence. \n\n__Too many forwards don’t touch the footy__ \n\nCorey Durdin and Orazio Fantasia both played full games of footy on Thursday night for a combined 10 disposals, four tackles and 0.1.\n\nTom De Koning also spent 80 per cent of the game forward as Marc Pittonet assumes full control of the ruck – De Koning had six disposals, one mark and didn’t hit the scoreboard.\n\nCarlton needs to revamp their forward mix and needs desperately to hope Lachie Fogarty and Jesse Motlop are available to return this weekend. \n\nThe Blues also should go back to one ruckman and try to get their forward-half pressure game back, given it has dropped away significantly. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Clearance domination and midfield start__\n\nCollingwood’s midfield got the side off to a cracking start on Saturday.\n\nThe Pies kicked eight of the first 11 goals, and that was no doubt thanks to the upper hand they had at the contest.\n\nIn the first quarter alone, the top six ball-winners on the ground were all Magpies, with Nick Daicos (15 disposals), Scott Pendlebury (two goals, 12 disposals) and Jordan De Goey (one goal, 10 touches) doing most of the damage.\n\nGetting so much ball from the centre helped launch Collingwood’s scores as the Crows played catch up for the rest of the game.\n\nEven though the Crows worked back into it, the Pies also won the clearance count 44-36.\n\nIt’s the third week in a row where they’ve really dominated on-ball. If things remain the same, this side will be very hard to beat once talent returns in other areas of the ground.\n\n__Finding enough goalkickers with soldiers going down__\n\nCollingwood was already missing a handful of important forwards on Saturday, and things got worse when Will Hoskin-Elliott (hamstring) and Reef McInnes (concussion) went down with injuries.\n\nSomehow though, the Pies managed to kick a winning score, with nine individual goalkickers chipping in.\n\nOf those players, three were genuine midfielders, while half-back John Noble also got in on the action.\n\nCollingwood share the load as well as any team in the comp and that proved to be the case on Saturday.\n\nIf they can keep doing that while adding the likes of Mihocek, McCreery, Elliott and even McStay back into the team, this offence will go to another level.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Didn’t ever really put the Crows away__\n\nEven though the Magpies got out to a five-goal lead in the second term, they lacked the killer blow to ever put Adelaide away.\n\nThat came back to haunt them in the last quarter as the Crows pressed and even snatched the lead back for a brief moment.\n\nIf they had put the Crows away when they had the chance and cattle available, it never would have been an issue.\n\nWhen you’ve got the momentum, you need to make it count. Things like last week can happen far too easily when the Pies didn’t have a single tall target to kick to in the fourth term at stages, allowing the Crows to lock the ball in their front half.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got (W)right \n\n__Two-metre Peter back in form__ \n\nPeter Wright hadn’t kicked more than two goals since returning from suspension and was coming off a goalless performance against GWS. \n\nHe needed a big game and delivered against North Melbourne in a comfortable 40-point win. Four goals from six shots, as well as 11 hitouts and nine marks is right among the better games he’ll play and inspires confidence for the rest of the season.\n\nWright also enjoyed an equal club-high six inside 50s. Watch out Richmond this week. \n\n__Kept the pressure on__ \n\nThe Bombers had 22 less uncontested possessions than Alastair Clarkson’s North Melbourne but still laid some 56 tackles, 14 more than North Melbourne. \n\nIn a game Essendon was expected to win and win well, effort was clearly still the number one priority, with Brad Scott’s forwards still laying 10 tackles inside 50 to the Roos’ two. \n\nIf the Dons can bring that on a quiet Sunday against North Melbourne, they can do it against the best teams when it counts. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__What happened in the middle?__ \n\nEssendon’s clearance game is the 4th best in the competition, while the Roos rank 13th. \n\nSo for Scott’s midfield to be humbled 28-42, losing both total centre clearances and stoppage clearances, is a surprise. \n\nFor all Richmond’s faults in Round 10, they actually beat Brisbane in the clearance count, adding another fascinating storyline to this Saturday’s Dreamtime. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Jackson one-out in the ruck__ \n\nTeams have found ways to expose Rowan Marshall in recent weeks, with opposition ruckmen putting up big numbers and Luke Jackson was no exception. \n\nHe found 25 disposals, won 39 hit-outs, 10 clearances and laid six tackles. He’s clearly shown his capacity to dominate when given the sole ruck duties.\n\nOf course, Sean Darcy will be needed to spell Jackson and the pair can work together, but it seems clear at this point that the Dockers are at their best with Jackson and Josh Treacy as his backup.\n\n__Midfield mix is working beautifully__ \n\nFremantle smacked St Kilda in the midfield on Saturday night, allowing them to play with a set defence behind them and making it nearly impossible for the Saints to score.\n\nCaleb Serong, Andrew Brayshaw, Hayden Young and Nathan Fyfe as the predominant on-ball quartet was too much for St Kilda to handle, winning the clearances 50-33.\n\nIt’s been their go-to mix all season, with Matthew Johnson the fifth wheel in there and Jaeger O’Meara no longer in there.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Accuracy issues still plague Freo__ \n\nAfter last week’s debacle against the Swans, with the Dockers kicking 4.15, the yips plagued them again against St Kilda.\n\nFreo kicked 4.12 in the second half which ultimately restricted them to just 72 points – a winning score against the Saints but maybe not some other teams. \n\nIt’s one to watch as the season goes on. Jye Amiss the chief offender, kicking 2.5. There are worse problems to have!\n\n*Nic Negrepontis*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Three positional calls__ \n\nMax Holmes to half-back, Gryan Miers playing the connector role and Toby Conway as a full-time ruckman. \n\nOn a disastrous night for the Cats, that trio were clearly Chris Scott’s best players in performing exactly what was hoped. \n\nThe other 19 have got plenty to learn about breaking momentum and playing wet weather footy. \n\nScott’s system also fell apart given Geelong won contest and clearance. Lessons to be taken all round. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Stewart rendered useless again__ \n\nThere are a hundred aspects Geelong got wrong on Thursday, so we won’t harp on here. \n\nBut Round 10 was the second straight game where Tom Stewart again had no impact, despite the footy largely living in Gold Coast’s forward half. \n\nIt’s a hard one to put a finger on. Stewart had 13 intercepts, a clear game-high, but put almost zero pressure on his direct opponent. \n\nHe’s a better player than that and it’s on both Stewart and Scott to get the All-Australian calibre defender back to his impactful best and the Cats not conceding 26 goals. \n\n__Cam Guthrie’s management?__ \n\nIt’s certainly too early to tell, but have the Cats made a mistake getting Cam Guthrie straight back into the senior side? \n\nThe 32-year-old hasn’t dominated in his four games back from injury and on Thursday was subbed off in the third term of the eventual loss with nine touches to his name. \n\nHe wasn’t the only Cat below par. But he’s arguably Geelong’s most important player with Patrick Dangerfield out and a lack of experienced midfielders already and his failure will lead to Geelong’s more often than not. \n\nThe Cats were toothless without Guthrie near his best. \n\n*Seb Mottram*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Midfield dominance__ \n\nYou’ll be hard pressed to find a better performance from two midfielders in the same team in the same win. \n\nNoah Anderson (42 possessions, two goals) and Matt Rowell (35 possessions, eight clearances, 10 tackles) tore the Cats to shred at the contest and were Chris Scott’s biggest headache all night. \n\nThey weren’t up against much, but the Suns will love what they’re seeing from the developing stars. Throw in Ned Moyle’s impressive effort and 32 touches for Touk Miller and you’ve got a complete and utter midfield mauling. \n\n__Good call from Dimma__ \n\nEyebrows were raised when Damien Hardwick rested co-captain Jarrod Witts for the Suns’ biggest game of the year. \n\nBut young ruck Ned Moyle delivered in spades and justified the gutsy call. Moyle had a clear team-high 17 contested possessions and a whopping 42 hitouts, also getting busy to lay five tackles. \n\nAt the very least, Moyle – who is out of contract at the end of 2024 – had just seen his trade value jump. He continues to prove himself at AFL level on the rare occasions he gets a gig.\n\n__Where did King come from?!__ \n\nJust quietly, Ben King is a co-leader of the Coleman Medal! \n\nThe 23-year-old is in a four-way tie for first and plenty of rusted on footy fans would find themselves surprised to see King atop the goal kicking list. \n\nHe flew under the radar again on Thursday. Not his best game, but the key forward found a way to boot four goals in slippery conditions. \n\nHe’s looking a far better player than his twin brother at the current time. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Disappointment in contested footy__ \n\nDespite starring performances in the middle and blistering periods of attack, the Suns weren’t willing to get as busy as their opponents in the heat. \n\nAgainst a Cats lineup lacking plenty, especially through the midfield, the Suns still lost contested footy and clearances. \n\nHardwick’s men rank in the top six for both this year, so perhaps they’re due a mulligan. But don’t let it become the precedent. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Stars played well__\n\nToby Greene, Jesse Hogan, Lachie Whitfield, Harry Himmelberg, Tom Green and Stephen Coniglio and were among the Giants’ very best players.\n\nGreene kicked three goals from 17 touches, Hogan also booted three goals and took seven marks, Whitfield had 31 touches and 761 metres gained, Himmelberg had 30 disposals and 12 marks, Green amassed 29 touches and seven clearances and Conigio had 22 and six tackles. \n\nCal Ward did a great job in restricting Marcus Bontempelli to 10 disposals in the first three quarters which is a very impressive effort. \n\nThe reliable heads just didn’t have enough assistance from the younger and fringe players who had contributed so well in the first handful of games. \n\nIt’s a small win on an otherwise dirty weekend. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Did not play the conditions well__\n\nThe Giants were unable to match the Bulldogs in the wet conditions. \n\nAdam Kingsley lamented the fact that his side was easily beaten at clearances (38-46) and stoppage clearances (28-41).\n\nHe also felt they were not clever enough with the way they attempted to move the ball on a soggy surface. \n\nThey were unable to get their running game up and going which saw them produce just 41 inside 50s, hurting their ability to score.\n\n__Toothless in attack__\n\nGWS kicked 100 or more points in five of its first seven games of 2024.\n\nHave the Giants been worked out since?\n\nKingsley’s side has returned scores of 69, 62 and most recently 43, suggesting they are toothless in attack right now.\n\nToby Greene and Jesse Hogan kicked all six of their goals against the Dogs, highlighting a lack of assistance from those around them.\n\nThe once free-flowing Giants have been curtailed of late which has coincided with three defeats on the trot and four losses in their last five. \n\n__On a side note…__\n\nDid we overplay the Giants’ form earlier in the season?\n\nThey beat a hungover Collingwood side in Opening Round before picking up wins over North Melbourne, West Coast, Gold Coast (in Adelaide) and St Kilda - three of those sides are in the bottom five. \n\nThey did annihilate the Brisbane Lions, but it does seem perhaps their form has been somewhat overrated. \n\nThe Giants have a testing month ahead - Geelong at GMHBA, Hawthorn in Tassie, Port Adelaide and Sydney at home. We will truly know where they are by the completion of Round 15. \n\nKingsley’s side started the season nicely, but they’ve been well below their best over the last month or so. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Had it won (before they lost it)__ \n\nLet’s take the glass half-full approach. For two and a half quarters, the Hawks dominated a club with top-four aspirations on their own deck. \n\nClearances, contested footy, territory you name it, Hawthorn had it. That’s no mean feat and even though the Hawks lost, it’s a far better performance than most believed they could produce. \n\nSam Mitchell is the coach that’s touted to be, take nothing away from that. \n\n__Blake bloody Hardwick__ \n\nIf you had Blake Hardwick to kick four goals in the opening quarter, hats off. \n\nGiven he’d only kicked one goal since Round 5, the performance he put forward on Sunday afternoon at a roaring Adelaide Oval certainly came as a surprise. \n\nHe finished with five majors, 23 touches and two direct goal assists as the Hawks opened up a decent gap. \n\nIf Mitchell had his time again, you’d expect him to keep Hardwick – typically a small defender – ahead of the footy instead of throwing him down back late. \n\nBut alas, giving Hardwick the license to roam inside 50 gave Hawthorn a great shot. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__The entire last quarter__ \n\nMake no mistake, this game wasn’t only lost in the last 30 seconds. \n\nHawthorn went back into its shell for the entire last term, registering only four inside 50s for the quarter. Playing that brand of footy is asking to have your 28-point margin cut into and that’s exactly what happened. \n\nThere was no forward structure, and Hardwick – his side’s primary hope ahead of the ball – found himself deep in defence alongside Will Day, the Hawks’ best midfielder on the day. \n\nA lack of intent crucified the Hawks and Mitchell paid the price. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Won the ball at the source__\n\nDespite the 35-point loss, Melbourne did win the ball at the source.\n\nThe Demons beat the Eagles 41-36 at clearance thanks to a 28-21 stoppage clearance superiority.\n\nClayton Oliver had nine clearances, Max Gawn had six, and Jack Viney and Christian Petracca had five each. The usual suspects dd the job around the ball, but it fell over post clearance. \n\nAlthough they did the win the first ball more often than not, the Dees had their game taken away from them by the more desperate and hungrier Eagles. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Untidy by foot and blunt in attack__\n\nThe Demons struggled to conjure meaningful inside 50s across the course of the contest. \n\nYes, West Coast’s pressure was high, but the Dees were simply unable to use the ball effectively enough.\n\nTheir disposal efficiency was less than 67 per cent and they could only managed 36 inside 50s - their lowest return of the season so far. \n\nThose numbers simply did not give their forwards enough opportunity to score.\n\nAfter gaining the ascendency in the third term with a positive inside 50 count (+4), the Demons shot themselves in the foot by kicking 3.7, while the Eagles kicked 5.0.\n\n__Conceded 100+ in rare occurrence__ \n\nThe Demons conceded over 100 points for the first time this year and just the third time in a season and a half.\n\nThe 105 points kicked by the Eagles was the first time Simon Goodwin’s backline has been properly breached in 2024.\n\nA lot of that had to do with the fact that Jake Lever went off concussed in the first quarter which derailed and disorganised their defence. \n\n__Missed the chance to go third__\n\nA win would have put the Dees into third position.\n\nPlaying the last fixture of Round 10, they knew that four points would have placed them behind only Sydney and Essendon.\n\nBut they couldn’t get the job done and now sit in the middle of the pack with five other clubs on 24 points.\n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Davies-Uniacke is back__ \n\nIt hasn’t been a great season to date for LDU, but his performance against Essendon on the weekend was one of his career best.\n\nThe midfielder was the number one rated player on the ground, well clear of the next highest (Dyson Heppell), per Wheelo Ratings.\n\nHe won seven clearances, kicked two goals and had 27 disposals, but looked his explosive best.\n\n__Harry Sheezel’s best game as a midfielder__ \n\nIt’s taken Sheezel a few weeks to find his feet as an on-baller, but he really delivered on Sunday afternoon.\n\nHe found 32 disposals – back to his usual prolific nature – two goal assists, eight score involvements, six inside 50s and nine marks. \n\nIt’s a good sign for the Roos, particularly given the issues they’ve had in the midfield generally this season. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Second half wobbles__ \n\nThe second half on Sunday was hugely disappointing given the Roos were right in this game.\n\nThey went into the half-time break down seven points having traded blows and kept pace with the Bombers.\n\nFrom there, they conceded 9.5 and only managed four goals themselves, and were blown out in the fourth term. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Huge comeback__\n\nPort Adelaide were 41 points down 23 minutes into the third term on Sunday.\n\nThe likelihood of winning from there could have only been a couple of per cent, but they got there.\n\nThis team absolutely believes that 30 minutes of good footy can get them over the top of anyone, that’s how good they are once they click into top gear.\n\nUnfortunately for Hawthorn, that happened late at the Adelaide Oval as the Power kicked the final six goals to win in ridiculous fashion.\n\nThat comeback was led by Zak Butters, who collected a ridiculous 17 disposals in the last term alone.\n\nThey can thank him for securing the four points in this one.\n\n__The final minute__\n\nWith 35 seconds left, Port Adelaide were down by 11 points.\n\nLiterally EVERYTHING had to go right from there to win, and somehow it did.\n\nFirstly, Willie Rioli nailed a long set shot from a free kick. He also went back and kicked it as quickly as he possibly could to make sure time didn’t roll off the clock.\n\nAfter that, the Power had 22 seconds to find one more goal. \n\nWith the ball at a centre stoppage, Willem Drew farmed the ball out to Zak Butters who launched it forward.\n\nA contest ensued 30 metres out from goal directly in front. After the ball spilled out to a Hawthorn player, the ball sat on the ground for Darcy Byrne-Jones to soccer … the rest is history.\n\nIt was as perfect as the Power could have hoped for things to go in those dying moments.\n\nThey knew exactly what they had to do and executed perfectly.\n\nHats off to Ken Hinkley and the coaching staff, as well as the players for clicking into an all-out attack mentality to grab the win.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Sluggish start__\n\nPort Adelaide were incredibly slow out of the blocks on Sunday.\n\nThe Power allowed the Hawks to kick seven of the first eight goals, an incredibly disappointing effort given Hawthorn is a rebuilding side without some of their best players.\n\nEven though they were able to rope them back late and get over the line, they won’t want to give up that kind of start against any kind of finals contender.\n\nIf they do, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll be able to get back into it.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got \n\n__Youngsters got valuable minutes__ \n\nRichmond had 11 players with less than 40 games of experience.\n\nIt certainly was a proper footballing lesson that they received, which hopefully they’ll take plenty away from.\n\nKane McAuliffe played well in his third game, picking up 20 disposals and laying five tackles \n\nThe Tigers also managed to win clearances and centre clearances. But that was about the only stat line they won, and clearly had no bearing on the outcome. \n\nThere wasn’t much else to write home about. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Questionable effort and intent__ \n\nIt’s hard to pinpoint one exact area where the Tigers are being brushed aside.\n\nOne thing that has been alarming is the lack of pressure around the ball.\n\nThe Lions, despite losing clearances, just moved the ball so easily around the Gabba - and it made Adem Yze’s side look silly at times.\n\nRichmond’s drop-off in effort and intent over the last two weeks has been surprising, seeing as it was keeping them competitive in most games prior. \n\n__Somehow more injuries__\n\nThe amount of injuries Richmond has copped in 2024 is astounding. \n\nThey entered the Lions fixture with 15 players on the injury list. Mykelti Lefau hurt his jaw (thankfully it is not broken) and Rhyan Mansell was concussed during the game which did not help the cause. \n\nUnfortunately, ruckman Sam Naismith went down with another ACL injury in the VFL on Sunday, further compounding the club’s personnel issues. \n\nIt’s been a season of hell on the injury front at Punt Road. \n\n__Can’t score, can’t defend__\n\nThe Tigers’ lack of scoring ability has been one area that has plagued them in 2024.\n\nThey have scored just 622 points in 10 games at an average of 62.2 which is the lowest in the league. \n\nThey have failed to kick 50 points in each of the last four games.\n\nRichmond’s defence is also a glaring issue. They’ve conceded 1044 points at an average of 104.4 points per game. Only North Melbourne has conceded more points. \n\nIt’s time for Adem Yze to get tough with the playing group to avoid this season being even more of a disaster than it already is. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__The Swans have unearthed another tagger__ \n\nThe Sydney Swans have had a knack of uncovering undervalued role players and transforming them into the best tagger in the game. In 2022, it was Ryan Clarke who was tasked with shutting the opposition's most damaging player to great effect. \n\nThis year, it’s new recruit James Jordon who added Sam Walsh to his growing list of scalps. Walsh was unable find any rhythm or space in his game as he was held to 20 disposals (27.2 season average), three clearances (3.9), four score involvements (7.3) and one goal at 55% disposal efficiency (64.2%). \n\nJordon was able to find plenty of ball himself in the meantime with 16 touches, six tackles, three clearances, six score involvements and a goal. After shutting down Jordan Clark at Fremantle and Lachie Whitfield at the Giants, the Western Bulldogs will face a nervous wait to see who his next target will be. \n\n__The Chad lights it up for Marngrook__ \n\nChad Warner tore Carlton to shreds on Friday night with one of the best individual performances of the season to take home the player of the match award. Warmer amassed a team-high 28 disposals, 14 score involvements, 10 marks, 10 contested possessions, 721 metres gained and 3.2. \n\n__Running power overwhelms Carlton__ \n\nCarlton had no answer for the running speed and attacking play from the Swans whose midfielders and half back line ran circles around Michael Voss’ men. Sydney’s 23 players gained 6,158 metres compared to Calrton’s 5,621. \n\nThe Swans recorded a remarkable 17 running bounces on Friday night including nine alone from Chad Warner. There is no shame in Carlton being unable to contain the Swans’ run and carry with Sydney having the second most running bounces in the competition with 84. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__A concerning slow start __\n\nThe Swans found themselves 26 points behind midway through the first term and it could’ve been far worse if Harry McKay hadn’t missed from straight in front. Whilst the Swans went on to kick 13 of the 14 goals, John Longmire and the Swans should not sweep the slow start under the rug. \n\n*Charles Goodsir* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Josh Battle continues to shine in a contract year__\n\nSt Kilda will clearly be hoping to lock defender Josh Battle in long term as he remains a sturdy part of the defensive structures.\n\nBattle took 12 marks to go with 17 disposals in the loss to Freo, and is putting together an incredibly strong month. \n\nThings are going wrong for the Saints generally, but Battle has certainly carrying his load. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__St Kilda’s forward line is toothless__ \n\nMattaes Phillipou – four disposals, one goal – can’t find the footy.\n\nMax King – 10 disposals, goalless – is shockingly out of form. \n\nLiam Henry has been slow in re-integrating post injury, Lance Collard can’t be expected to find much of the footy and Anthony Caminiti comes in and kicks two goals, but likely makes way again for Tim Membrey.\n\nMitchito Owens kicks three, but only has eight disposals? How does that happen? \n\nSt Kilda needs to drastically adjust what they’re doing inside 50 and get these top-end players involved. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Harley Reid… again.__\n\nThe scariest part of Harley Reid’s ascendance is that this is likely the worst he is going to be in his career.\n\nThe young Eagle was absolutely electric against the Demons, dominating for stretches at a time and putting together a single-game highlight reel that would rival many players’ career highlights.\n\nReid has singlehandedly revitalised the entirety of West Coast, and the direst situation in the AFL has suddenly become full of optimism.\n\n__Jake Waterman is unstoppable__\n\nOn current form, there is arguably no better forward in the AFL than Jake Waterman.\n\nThat is not a sentence that many would have expected to exist coming into the season.\n\nAfter another bag of five against Melbourne, Waterman moves into equal-first in the Coleman race with 29 goals, with 23 of those coming in the last five games.\n\nWhile he is undoubtedly riding an unbelievable hot streak, the forward is playing a brand of footy that could conceivably span through the entire season, dominating aerial contests regardless of opponent.\n\nIt will be fascinating to see how Adam Simpson balances the forward line once Oscar Allen returns, as the right combination could suddenly make the Eagles’ attack look very scary.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Not slamming the door early__\n\nIt’s hard to nitpick a comprehensive victory over a premiership contender, other than the fact that it should have been even more comprehensive.\n\nThe Eagles led the Demons by 13 points going into the main break, despite having eight more scoring shots in the first half.\n\nWest Coast’s inaccuracy kept Melbourne in the game early on, and if they had kicked 10.5 rather than 7.8 in that opening half they could have completely slammed the door.\n\nOtherwise, it was a completely dominant display from the Eagles, with the 35-point margin arguably flattering the Demons.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n\n\n__Dominance everywhere but the scoreboard__\n\nIn almost every single facet of the game, this had the makings of a comfortable thrashing.\n\nThe Bulldogs easily came out on top in the clearance game, contested possessions and inside 50 count, all while forcing the Giants to play an unfamiliar, slow brand of football with a strong defensive structure.\n\nIt was the kind of performance that answered the bulk of concerns that had been levelled at the Bulldogs all season long and reaffirms their case for finals just weeks after they seemed out of reach.\n\nWith a tough stretch ahead of them, including games against the Swans and Magpies in back-to-back weeks, it’s time for the Bulldogs to prove that this display against GWS wasn’t an aberration.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Kicking accuracy__\n\nEven considering the slippery conditions, this was one of the worst goalkicking performances of the season.\n\nThe Bulldogs racked up a monstrous 30 scoring shots, 17 more than the Giants, and only managed a 27-point victory.\n\nA scoreline of 8.22, highlighted by a goalless opening term is simply unacceptable for any AFL team, let alone a Dogs side that is now back in the thick of the finals hunt.\n\nExpect plenty of kicking drills to be on the agenda down at Whitten Oval this week.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n[](https://www.sen.com.au/app/)","date":"2024-05-20T16:05+10:00","author":"SEN","seoTitle":"What they got right and wrong: Each club’s wins

year and is attracting serious interest from both Western Australian clubs Fremantle and Wet Coast. \n\nWA native Baker recently purchased a $2.2 million waterfront property in Perth, strengthening suggestions that he could be on the way out the Punt Road exit door at season’s end. \n\n\n\nGale indicated that Baker’s house purchase was merely a clever investment and is confident he will commit his future to the club. \n\n“He’s an astute investor, Liam,” Gale said on *SEN’s The Run Home*.\n\n“We’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, but he’s entitled to invest his money, and good on him.\n\n“But he’s a really important player for our footy club and an important part of our future.\n\n“He’s got an important decision to make and we’re confident it will be with us.”\n\nThe versatile and tenacious 26-year-old, who is a two-time premiership player with the Tigers, has played 117 games in yellow and black. \n\nBaker has missed the last two matches with general soreness, but Adem Yze’s injury-hit side will hope to have him back for this Saturday night’s Dreamtime clash with Essendon at the MCG. \n\n__Listen to Gale on Baker and a number of other Tigers topics

I would suggest to you that he’s pretty much doing the same things that he’s always done.\n\n“His view is this, and I agree with him, the same things that have always won a game of rugby league are the same things that are always going to win a game of rugby league.\n\n\n\n“You have to have the will, the intent, so his trainings were always pointed towards the resilience, the patterns and the mind numbingly repetitive stuff that you’ve got to be good at to win games of rugby league.\n\n“I think the reason for his sustained success over a long period of time across different clubs, I think what it is, is that he’s kept it simple, he hasn’t made rocket science out of being a rugby league coach.”\n\nWebcke also believed Bennett was not motivated by money to return to Souths, instead he said he was motivated by the challenge of turning the club around.\n\n“I think he’ll go back to Souths… people are going to say it’s a pay day and all that… but understand what drives the man… it’s because there’s a challenge,” he said.\n\n“He looks at Souths, looks at that club and thinks they’re a whole lot better than that… he will look at that and think I’m going to try and fix that and I’ll lay out money that he will fix it.”\n\nBennett has his Dolphins team in fourth on the NRL ladder with a clash against the Warriors in Auckland ahead on Sunday.\n\n","date":"2024-05-21T15:45+10:00","author":"Brayden Heslehurst","seoTitle":"Why Wayne Bennett \"will fix\" the Rabbitohs after confirming his return to the club","seoDescription":"The

playmaker Tom Dearden and Broncos star Ezra Mam.","content":"Queensland State of Origin legends are split on who they think should replace the injured Cameron Munster and wear the famous No.6 for the Maroons for the upcoming series.\n\nAfter Munster, who has played 18 games for Queensland, was ruled out for the entire 2024 series after reinjuring his groin during Magic Round, most believe his replacement is between North Queensland Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Brisbane Broncos star Ezra Mam.\n\nDearden has experience in the Origin arena after making his debut in the 2022 series decider when Munster was a late withdrawal with Covid, while the 21-year-old Mam has been a standout for the Broncos at five-eighth this season but is yet to make his debut at the representative level.\n\n“This is a difficult one isn’t it, well it’s a race of two between Ezra Mam and Tommy Dearden,” Cameron Smith said on SENQ Breakfast.\n\n\n\n“For me, I think particularly for a game one, I’d go with a guy that’s performed there before and that’s Tommy Dearden but there’s so many positives about Ezra Mam, don’t get me wrong.\n\n“I love the way he plays, I love the high energy, high involvement style of footy that he plays but Tommy Dearden, although his team is bumbling their way through the competition at the moment, I think he’s been a standout for the Cowboys.\n\n“He is one of the best competitors in this competition and I know Billy’s a huge fan of him.\n\n“It shows a couple of years ago in the decider, Billy had no issues throwing him in… That’d just the way I would go.”\n\n\n\nThe man, who famously created the iconic ‘Queenslander’ call, in Billy Moore agreed with the Melbourne Storm great.\n\n“To me I’d go Tom Dearden, I think he’s been groomed for the role, I think he marries up perfectly with DCE,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I love the way he plays so direct, he’s brave and the fact it means so much to him, when he was selected he started crying, that resonates with Billy Moore.\n\n“Ezra Mam, his time is coming, coming faster than we think. That’s the way I’d go, if they go the other way I wouldn’t have a problem with it either.”\n\nWhile former Maroons enforcer Shane Webcke believed Ezra Mam’s “x-factor” gave him the advantage when it came to selection.\n\n“When you lose a player like a Munster, you’re not replacing that… but what you would look for is a bloke who has a bit of x-factor about him… look at what he did in the grand final last year, that is what you look for,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I don’t think he’s a risk, he’s going to deliver… he’s one of those blokes that players love playing with him and that’s also another really important factor when it comes to an Origin side.”\n\nWebcke also believed Mam’s partnership with Reece Walsh and Patrick Carrigan would also benefit him if he was selected.\n\nGame I will be played at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on June 5.\n\n","date":"2024-05-21T15:00+10:00","author":"Brayden Heslehurst","seoTitle":"\"Billy loves him\": Maroons legends split on Munster's

away 22-20 winners in one of the biggest upsets of the season, ending a five-game winless streak that began with their draw against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in Round 6. \n\nThe Warriors were without regular starters Shaun Johnson, Tohu Harris, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Kurt Capewell, Luke Metcalf, Marata Niukore, and Rocco Berry forcing largely untested rookies to play bigger minutes than initially predicted. \n\nNew Zealand also lost Wayde Egan after 12 minutes to a Category 1 concussion, while Jackson Ford and Marcelo Montoya spent time off undergoing head injury assessments before passing and returning. \n\nSmith said the Warriors played extremely well to get the win considering their injury toll, and the atmosphere was enormous. \n\n“I think they played an extremely tough brand of footy and were very resilient,” Smith told *Breakfast with Vossy & Brandy*.\n\n“The Warriors had to fight hard. They were missing a few of their stars… and to get the win the way they did, they had to come from behind, and to win it by two points was fantastic. \n\n“My goodness, the noise from the crowd… that was as big as any finals game I’ve been at, getting close to sort of origin-like. It was loud, so that was a wonderful moment for the weekend. \n\nDespite their shock loss, Smith isn’t concerned about a drop in-form for the Penrith Panthers. \n\n“There are high standards around Penrith… most weeks we expect them to be faultless… at the end of the day, they’re human beings. They’re a footy side who can have an off week,” Smith commented. \n\n“There’s no doubt there’s been some change the club, they’ve lost some quality individuals, that’s always going to have an impact. \n\n“I think it might just be a blip on the radar. That’s taking nothing away from the Warriors… to be able to get up against a Panthers’ team… was pretty special but I’m not reading too much into that loss.”\n\nPenrith were without star Nathan Cleary, who is out for roughly seven more weeks with a hamstring injury. \n\nThe Warriors return to New Zealand to take on The Dolphins this Sunday. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T13:03+10:00","author":"Sam Kosack","seoTitle":"Smith praises injury-hit Warriors after big upset over Penrith ","seoDescription":"The Warriors were without a number of their regular starters.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"3tOibQe7ZWciLPloxWxAsh","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-20T05:20:13.204Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-20T05:20:13.204Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"new zealand warriors upset penrith","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/3tOibQe7ZWciLPloxWxAsh/43df054958a3746938ff0c6a13593a9b/GettyImages-2153619535.jpg","details":{"size":1109393,"image":{"width":3000,"height":1999}},"fileName":"GettyImages-2153619535.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6SF7h865EoQoIM4VQh4j5M","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","updatedAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"New Zealand Warriors","slug":"new-zealand-warriors"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5jLyH0nGZxS5wL9agOUv8T","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2022-06-16T06:16:12.275Z","updatedAt":"2022-06-16T06:16:12.275Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Penrith Panthers","slug":"penrith-panthers"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD","NZ"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5YSiHt2lqiAgVA6JmMe6z8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T00:36:42.769Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T00:36:42.769Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Wayne Bennett signs three-year deal with South Sydney ","slug":"wayne-bennett-signs-three-year-deal-with-south-sydney","summary":"The Supercoach returns to Redfern to address some unfinished business.

is everything an NRL fan could hope for.","content":"With the dust now settled on an epic weekend of NRL action in Brisbane and fans return home feeling full from an incredible smorgasbord of rugby league, there are at least three more years of the event being held at Suncorp Stadium to look forward to.\n\n*SENZ League* commentator Sam Hewat takes a look back at what made Magic Round 2024 special and why you need to do everything you can to get there in 2025.\n\n### 1.\tCAXTON STREET \nI remember for years hearing about the famous Caxton Street during State of Origin, where the team buses used to drive through enroute to Suncorp Stadium before it all became too hectic and a health and safety nightmare.\n\nDespite that, I never really appreciated or understood what exactly Caxton Street was and how much buzz it creates around a game (or games) of rugby league.\n\nLined with various watering holes and activities, Caxton Street is the starting point for the day at Magic Round - the pubs are packed, the fans are building a party atmosphere, and guess what… no fun police, and no dickheads. Just fans having fun, enjoying themselves, sharing some pre-match laughs, and getting ready to walk just five minutes to the gates of Suncorp Stadium.\n\n### 2.\tSUNCORP STADIUM \nHands down, the best sporting venue in the Southern Hemisphere. Sure, we can argue all day about grounds like the MCG or the Sydney Football Stadium, but none of them have the atmosphere and feel of Suncorp.\n\n50,000+ people packed into a rectangular ground where you’re basically on top of the field makes for a supreme cauldron. The noise is deafening, as we found out walking up the turnstiles during the Raiders v Bulldogs match on the opening day. \n\nEvery moment of the match is amplified by the sound the venue creates, and that’s before we talk about the flawless logistics of the place. Not once did we see or encounter queues, or have any problem getting out of the stadium once the final whistle went.\n\nIn fact, it’s quite surreal seeing how quickly Suncorp empties out once the evening is finished. It is a world-class venue, perfectly designed for rugby league with a rich history to match.\n\n### 3.\tTHE JERSEYS \nIf you’re a bit of a rugby league nuffie, you will revel in the memories that come flooding back as you walk around Brisbane for Magic Round weekend.\n\nEvery jersey from past and present is on display as fans proudly parade the streets wearing Raiders and Broncos jerseys from the 90s, Balmain Tigers kits from the 80s, and Bulldogs jerseys from the 70s, and even the never-forgotten North Sydney Bears.\n\nNot only does it build the vibe and the atmosphere around rugby league, they become great conversation starters as you bump into random people on the street. Ironically, despite supporting different teams, fans are united by their admiration for an old piece of kit and it lets you know rugby league is well in truly in town.\n\n### 4.\tEX-PLAYERS \nRugby union, listen up! Part of what makes Magic Round a mecca for rugby league fans, is the fact you can be walking down Caxton Street, or going to your seat at Suncorp, and bump into legends of the game.\n\nCam Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Freddy Fittler, Blake Ayshford, Gorden Tallis - these guys are walking around with the fans getting pictures, sharing laughs, maybe a bit of NSW v QLD banter, and enjoying the footy alongside everyone else.\n\nIt would be very easy for them to stick to their corporate boxes away from everyone and slip in and out of the venue, but no. The NRL makes sure they are on proud display for everyone to see.\n\nHead to The Lord Alfred before a game and Cam Smith will be inside having beers, go to the Caxton Hotel and Matty Johns will be the life of the party, and if you’re a Warriors fan, you can find yourself walking up to Suncorp alongside Kevin Campion or Mark Tookey.\n\n### 5.\tTHE LIVE SHOWS \nIf you’re a fan of rugby league podcasts like The Levels Network, The Bye Round, Hello Sport, or Matty Johns, Magic Round is the perfect opportunity to see your favourite hosts in action.\n\nAlmost every major rugby league podcast had some sort of show (or shows) across the weekend, whether it be at the pubs, outside Suncorp, or inside the stadium. These shows are interactive, they’re loud, they’re engaging, and they include everyone - not just the guests and the stars of the game, but the fans and kids too.\n\nI can’t tell you how many people have been raving to me about catching their favourite shows live in the flesh and getting photos afterwards - it’s just another way the NRL promote their game so well.\n\n\n\n### 6.\tFAN ENGAGEMENT \nWe’ve long said that sport needs to make sure it’s more than just the 80 minutes on the paddock, and most of the above plays into this next point. No one does it quite like the NRL and Magic Round when it comes to pulling the fans into the occasion.\n\nWe’ve mentioned Caxton Street, lined with events and great venues to get the Magic Round buzz, but it includes a whole lot more - closed for the entire weekend to car traffic, the road is full with games to play for prizes, DJs, food trucks, and fan activations.\n\nIf you’re with kids and not keen on wading through the pub pandemonium, they’ll have a blast trying to win a jersey, an NRL ball, or a free Magic Round hat.\n\nAs you arrive at Suncorp, it gets even better. There are numerous areas outside to sit and enjoy the Brisbane sun, watch the action on the big screen, grab a bite or a drink, and once again win some awesome prizes.\n\nOnce you enter, the buzz of the NRL hits you squarely in the nostrils - and it’s the little things that make it so much fun. The 'Faces of Magic Round' on the big screen, panning through the crowd with hilarious filters get fans in fits of laughter.\n\nThere was the promotion by Westpac where any game ball that lands in the crowd is allowed to be kept, where normally they have to be returned to the officials. And the halftime fireworks, pyrotechnics, live performances, and shirt cannons mean there isn’t a single moment of the weekend where you’re not having the time of your life.\n\n### 7.\tTHE RUGBY LEAGUE \nNeedless to say, the action in the middle of the Suncorp turf plays a supplementary role to all of the above. However, Magic Round never fails to deliver on some scintillating rugby league.\n\nOn the whole, it’s a pretty easy concept - get all of the NRL clubs to play at one venue over the course of the weekend. Non-stop action, almost no time between games, and fans get their money’s worth every step of the way.\n\nBut it’s not like a Nines tournament, or Rugby Sevens, this is right in the middle of the NRL season where games genuinely mean as much as the week before, or the week after. As a result, there is no gimmicky feeling to the action on the field.\n\nYou also get a chance to see all the best players in the game, in the space of three days. Granted, this year had its fair share of injuries, but being able to see every top-level player go toe-to-toe for three days straight is something you’d never be able to do without a Magic Round. The first six games of Magic Round had winning margins of four, one, four, eight, six, and two - meaning all but the final two matches came down to the wire, giving the fans a reason to stay in their seat for the entire 80 minutes.\n\nEssendon have reluctantly chosen to accept Harry Jones' one-match ban for a dangerous tackle on Zac Fisher. It was graded medium impact given potential to cause injury, which makes you wonder if low impact is still possible. Dons gave appeal considerable thought, but felt they…

\n\n### 8.\tCROWDS AND STADIUM SECURITY \nI’m yet to hear of any major problems or issues within the Suncorp crowd over Magic Round. With a party atmosphere flying around the weekend, it would make sense for things to get a little out of control at times. But it never came to fruition from what I saw, and instead you had a whole bunch of fans supporting their teams and getting right into the action while enjoying themselves.\n\nClose to 150,000 people attended the event across the three days, averaging 50,000 - meaning the NRL was just 2,500 people shy each day of a complete sellout.\n\nHOW GOOD!@NZWarriors CEO Cameron George crashes the SENZ commentary box at Magic Round 😆#NRLWarriorsPanthers pic.twitter.com/nwqndKIKpp
— SENZ (@SENZ_Radio) May 19, 2024
\n\nThe atmosphere was also aided by stadium security at Suncorp, which is unlike anything I’ve experienced in New Zealand.\n\nNot only is entry and exit into the stadium seamless, but the mandate to let fans enjoy themselves meant no one was being kicked out for having an oversized flag or carrying one too many drinks. No one was blocked from walking to different areas of the stadium, and guess what? Not a single streaker or pitch invader across the entire weekend. \n\n### 9.\tBRISBANE \nThe NRL has got the number one thing right with Magic Round – location. It’s the problem that plagues so many sports whenever they try to put something different on during their seasons.\n\nBrisbane really is a sporting oasis in Australia - they are rabidly passionate about their sport, more so than almost anywhere else in the world I’ve been to.\n\nIt’s the Queensland parochialism that shines through, but it’s also the way they get behind their codes. It’s not just about showing up, it’s about being loud and fanatical and immersing yourself in the occasion.\n\nBrisbane is an amazing city, highlighted with areas like the South Bank, West End, Fortitude Valley, and elevated with a body of water that runs right through the heart of the CBD.\n\nThe weather put on non-stop sun the entire weekend, with temperatures at a perfect 21 degrees. And the best part? If you want to extend the weekend out and make the most of the time off, the Sunshine and Gold Coasts are just short drives away. \n\n### 10.\tTHE MOMENTS\nLast but not least, when it comes down to brass tacks, Magic Round sets the stage for the biggest moments of all.\n\nWhether it was a last-minute field goal for Brisbane to get up over Manly, the Sharks and Roosters going tit for tat as the two in-form teams of the competition, or of course the Warriors tipping up the Panthers for an historic win, Magic Round gives the fans just that – a little bit of magic.\n\nAttendance across the three days of #NRLMagicRound = 149,196 🥳

Much love to Brisbane for your hospitality and putting on such an incredible event for rugby league fans!
\n\nSure, that happens week in week out in the NRL, but as a fan sitting at Suncorp, getting to witness those moments game after game in between all of the partying and festivities, those are the memories you’ll keep with you forever as you fly back home to New Zealand bleary-eyed and in need of a good sleep. It makes the weekend worth it and has you craving it all again in twelve months time.\n\nIf you’re an NRL fan, and you haven’t got Magic Round on your bucket list, get out the pen and paper immediately. Grab a group of mates, start saving up the party funds, book in your flights and accommodation as soon as the schedule is announced, and get yourself over to Brisbane in 2025. You won’t regret it.\n\n \n","date":"2024-05-21T14:00+12:00","author":"Sam Hewat","seoTitle":"Why NRL Magic Round should be on your sporting bucket list for 2025","seoDescription":"Here are 10 reasons why the weekend in Brisbane is everything an NRL fan could hope for.","seoKeywords":"SENZ","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"2JPkEj4SFzM8yLuqMwtm2e","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-21T02:21:52.085Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T02:21:52.085Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Warriors fans at NRL Magic Round 2024","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/2JPkEj4SFzM8yLuqMwtm2e/0caa15a61d5e63b6d654f5d2afd7febd/GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","details":{"size":10531293,"image":{"width":8116,"height":5372}},"fileName":"GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6SF7h865EoQoIM4VQh4j5M","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","updatedAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"New Zealand Warriors","slug":"new-zealand-warriors"}}],"state":["NZ","QLD","NSW"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"o7n7zPKCaRDoXYSdmRExk","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:02.773Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:02.773Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Why Fraser-McGurk and Short were added to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad","slug":"why-fraser-mcgurk-and-short-were-added-to-australias-t20-world-cup-squad","summary":"“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer.”","content":"Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short have been added as travelling reserves to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad, although both won’t play unless there is an injury in the squad. \n\nWith Andrew McDonald and members of his squad set to fly out on Wednesday for the World Cup in the West Indies and the US, the Australian coach joined *SEN’s Whateley* to detail changes to the travelling party. \n\nIn-form opener Fraser-McGurk and BBL star Short have been added to the 15-man squad, with McDonald stating the batters bring different qualities. \n\n“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer. Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round… we have no fears he won’t be fit and fully available.”\n\nAustralia’s first of four group stage games comes against Oman in Barbados on June 6. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:27+10:00","author":"Seb Mottram","seoTitle":"Why Fraser-McGurk and Short were added to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad","seoDescription":"“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer.”","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"70V42gS8r46NT2BWNiOwEq","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:00.291Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:00.291Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"BEST SPLIT IMG (USE THIS) (66)","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/70V42gS8r46NT2BWNiOwEq/d46583b8715e38a31d09c9f9474c552f/BEST_SPLIT_IMG__USE_THIS___66_.jpg","details":{"size":72913,"image":{"width":800,"height":600}},"fileName":"BEST SPLIT IMG (USE THIS) (66).jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5IXQXxtEbYoKg444mq0WeG","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:54.026Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:41:03.145Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Cricket","bgColour":"4fb952","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"cricket","primary":true}},"state":["VIC","SA","TAS","NSW","QLD","WA"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6gf7y5ugw0JURrfdeGvVBB","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:36:42.632Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:36:42.632Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"“They will have to tap some players on the shoulder\": Why Riccio expects a mass player exodus at Parramatta ","slug":"they-will-have-to-tap-some-players-on-the-shoulder-why-riccio-expects-a-mass","summary":"“There will absolutely be changes made to that roster whichever head coach comes into that club.\" ","content":"The Parramatta Eels’ fortunes have gone from bad to worse with *The Daily Telegraph’s* David Riccio forecasting a massive player cleanout following the sacking of coach Brad Arthur. \n\nThe Parramatta board confirmed on Monday that Arthur’s contract had been terminated after 10 full seasons and 264 games at the helm.

midfielder Rory Laird speaks to SEN following a dramatic loss to Collingwood on Saturday and what it means for their season.","content":"The Crows' Collingwood curse continued on Saturday when the Pies produced yet another thrilling comeback win over the Crows making Adelaide’s finals aspirations seem slim.\n\nAdelaide’s four-point loss to the Pies ended in dramatic circumstances with a late goal from Jordan De Goey being the final dagger to a brave Adelaide performance.\n\nIt marks a ninth straight loss to the Magpies in a row and another tight finish. \n\nCrows midfielder Rory Laird was left frustrated after the tight loss to the pies “really stung” and has damaged the Crows chances of September action.\n\n“It would be nice to be on the other end and get them for once,” Laird told *SEN SA*.\n\n“You can’t give up a lead like that and make it easy for yourself.”\n\nJust minutes before the final siren Adelaide star Izak Rankine was penalised by the umpire for running too far, causing a brutal turnover which saw the Pies hit the front.\n\nLaird expressed his annoyance, given the state of the game, even if the call was technically correct.\n\n“When you look at it and break it down in slow motion it’s 24.2 metres, but in the game you sort of let that go don’t you?”\n\n“I saw him take a bounce and thought he's all sweet here, but the thing with Izak is he's travelling further and faster than most people with the ball.”\n\nTo make matters worse for the Crows, Rankine suffered a hamstring injury late in the game which will see him miss approximately three weeks of football.\n\nFollowing Saturday’s loss, the Crows sit 13th on the ladder with just three wins. \n\nHowever, Laird still remains optimistic about what his side can achieve as they look towards the second half of the year.\n\n“It’s a very even slate of teams who are 5-14th, so if there’s any season to sort of look into and have an opportunity to fight back in the second half of the year then this is probably the best opportunity in a long time.”\n\n“We have really made it hard for ourselves and the weekend adds a little bit of salt into the wounds, it was another opportunity to stay closer to the competition and we have made it difficult.”\n\nLaird and the Crows now look towards a do or die clash with the inform West Coast Eagles at Adelaide oval on Sunday as they look to get their season back on track.\n\n\n","date":"2024-05-21T12:53+10:00","author":"Tom Williams","seoTitle":"“Quite sick of it”: Crows veteran Rory Laird frustrated with season defining loss to

weekend.","content":"What did your club get right and what did your club get wrong in Round 10?\n\nWe had nine matches across the weekend with some remarkable finishes, some huge spankings and some massive individual performances.\n\nSee our assessments below:\n\n\n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Final term comeback and staying in it all day__\n\nAdelaide never gave in on Saturday at the MCG despite trailing for 109 of 121 minutes.\n\nThey easily could have dropped their head early on, particularly after the Pies skipped out to a 30-point lead in the second term after kicking six goals in a row.\n\nMany other teams, particularly from interstate, would have dropped their bundle in enemy territory against the reigning premiers.\n\nBut not Adelaide. Even though they didn’t win, they gave themselves enough chances to.\n\nThis team still believes their best is good enough to match it with the best, and they’re not wrong.\n\nIt’s one small thing to hang their hat on.\n\n__Getting the ball inside 50__\n\nThe Crows gave their forwards enough opportunities to win Saturday’s game, going inside 50 on 58 occasions to Collingwood’s 49.\n\nIn the final quarter alone, they went in 16 times to Collingwood’s nine. That’s where they really had the chance to win.\n\nLooking at expected score as well, the Crows only were behind 68.3 to 67.6, proving that the result was really a coinflip as the Magpies came up clutch.\n\nOn other occasions, those inside 50s will result in more scores and the Crows will get more reward for their efforts.\n\nIt was a defeat, but one they’ll take a lot of positives from.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Not sending anyone to Daicos in the first half__\n\nAdelaide should never have let Nick Daicos run free for the first half on Saturday.\n\nI mean, he’s a top two or three player in the competition on form and is only building into his season now.\n\nThe Pies superstar had a ridiculous 10 clearances and 24 disposals in the first half alone.\n\nWhile Jordan Dawson sat on him at stoppage in the second half, restricting him somewhat to four clearances and 17 disposals from then on, most of the damage was already done.\n\nWe’re not saying they should have tagged Daicos outright, but he’s one of a couple of players in the league that you need to put time into or else you will bleed.\n\nIn a game that was so tight in the end, it was just about the difference in the result.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Selfless Lions__ \n\nThe Lions shared the ball around at will, given the lack of Richmond pressure that came their way. \n\nThey were able to do as they pleased in and around forward 50, highlighted by Lachie Neale’s remarkable six goal assists.\n\nLogan Morris, Eric Hipwood, Joe Daniher and Jarrod Berry all had two goal assists each and the general finding of a teammate in a better position was evident all night. \n\nDespite two bags of five from Kai Lohmann and Charlie Cameron, their 26 goals were spread across 12 players which is a great sign for Chris Fagan. \n\n__Finishing was on fire__ \n\nBrisbane kicked 26.7 in a damaging display of finishing and accuracy. \n\nBefore Saturday night, the Lions had only kicked more goals than behinds in two matches in 2024. \n\nIt helps when you are afforded so much time and space to be able to conjure constant shots at goal, but they were able to put them away - something that has evaded them for much of the campaign. \n\n__Lohmann breaks out, Ah Chee delivers__ \n\nHe’s been bubbling away with some solid performances in the senior side this year, but Lohmann produced the best game of his career. \n\nLohmann had a nice fill-up with five goals from 14 disposals and seven marks, doing the damage early with a pair of majors in the first term. \n\nIt is normally the usual suspects whenever the Lions have a win, so it was nice to see an emerging player, in just his 18th AFL game, shine so brightly. \n\nCallum Ah Chee also got in on the act again with 19 disposals and 12 marks. \n\nHis hanger in the second quarter was a thing of beauty. \n\n__Relentless and ruthless all night__\n\nThe Lions jumped out of the blocks with seven first-quarter goals to Richmond’s zero.\n\nBut it wasn’t a one off.\n\nThey kept their foot on the throat of the Tigers, piling on six goals in the second, eight in the third and five more in the last. \n\nIt was a relentless and ruthless performance, perhaps the one that will truly kickstart their run towards finals. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Hipwood report and clearance numbers__ \n\nIt’s hard to find any woes in a 119-point win.\n\nThe only negative we can find is the tackle by Eric Hipwood on Nick Vlastuin which led to a one-week suspension (pending any possible Lions appeal). \n\nSomehow they were also beaten in clearances (35-36) and centre clearances (11-16), but obviously those numbers had zero impact on the game. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Zac Williams to half forward__ \n\nZac Williams has mostly struggled to find form in defence this year and has looked half the player he was before the ACL injury.\n\nThe Blues moved Williams to half forward in this one given the mountain of injuries they have to their forwards and he looked good early.\n\nHe was moved around following Jacob Weitering’s injury, but it was a role worth persisting with.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Carlton’s midfield is too slow__ \n\nSydney isn’t the first team to exploit Carlton when they play all of Cripps, Kennedy and Hewett, but it was particularly evident on Friday night.\n\nThe Swans did as they pleased at centre bounces and when the ball went their way, they were off to the races.\n\nCarlton clearly noticed the issue, trying Corey Durdin on-ball at stages, but that’s not the answer either.\n\nThe Blues need more dynamic players in the middle and Elijah Hollands is surely the one to receive a few opportunities in Adam Cerra’s absence. \n\n__Too many forwards don’t touch the footy__ \n\nCorey Durdin and Orazio Fantasia both played full games of footy on Thursday night for a combined 10 disposals, four tackles and 0.1.\n\nTom De Koning also spent 80 per cent of the game forward as Marc Pittonet assumes full control of the ruck – De Koning had six disposals, one mark and didn’t hit the scoreboard.\n\nCarlton needs to revamp their forward mix and needs desperately to hope Lachie Fogarty and Jesse Motlop are available to return this weekend. \n\nThe Blues also should go back to one ruckman and try to get their forward-half pressure game back, given it has dropped away significantly. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Clearance domination and midfield start__\n\nCollingwood’s midfield got the side off to a cracking start on Saturday.\n\nThe Pies kicked eight of the first 11 goals, and that was no doubt thanks to the upper hand they had at the contest.\n\nIn the first quarter alone, the top six ball-winners on the ground were all Magpies, with Nick Daicos (15 disposals), Scott Pendlebury (two goals, 12 disposals) and Jordan De Goey (one goal, 10 touches) doing most of the damage.\n\nGetting so much ball from the centre helped launch Collingwood’s scores as the Crows played catch up for the rest of the game.\n\nEven though the Crows worked back into it, the Pies also won the clearance count 44-36.\n\nIt’s the third week in a row where they’ve really dominated on-ball. If things remain the same, this side will be very hard to beat once talent returns in other areas of the ground.\n\n__Finding enough goalkickers with soldiers going down__\n\nCollingwood was already missing a handful of important forwards on Saturday, and things got worse when Will Hoskin-Elliott (hamstring) and Reef McInnes (concussion) went down with injuries.\n\nSomehow though, the Pies managed to kick a winning score, with nine individual goalkickers chipping in.\n\nOf those players, three were genuine midfielders, while half-back John Noble also got in on the action.\n\nCollingwood share the load as well as any team in the comp and that proved to be the case on Saturday.\n\nIf they can keep doing that while adding the likes of Mihocek, McCreery, Elliott and even McStay back into the team, this offence will go to another level.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Didn’t ever really put the Crows away__\n\nEven though the Magpies got out to a five-goal lead in the second term, they lacked the killer blow to ever put Adelaide away.\n\nThat came back to haunt them in the last quarter as the Crows pressed and even snatched the lead back for a brief moment.\n\nIf they had put the Crows away when they had the chance and cattle available, it never would have been an issue.\n\nWhen you’ve got the momentum, you need to make it count. Things like last week can happen far too easily when the Pies didn’t have a single tall target to kick to in the fourth term at stages, allowing the Crows to lock the ball in their front half.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got (W)right \n\n__Two-metre Peter back in form__ \n\nPeter Wright hadn’t kicked more than two goals since returning from suspension and was coming off a goalless performance against GWS. \n\nHe needed a big game and delivered against North Melbourne in a comfortable 40-point win. Four goals from six shots, as well as 11 hitouts and nine marks is right among the better games he’ll play and inspires confidence for the rest of the season.\n\nWright also enjoyed an equal club-high six inside 50s. Watch out Richmond this week. \n\n__Kept the pressure on__ \n\nThe Bombers had 22 less uncontested possessions than Alastair Clarkson’s North Melbourne but still laid some 56 tackles, 14 more than North Melbourne. \n\nIn a game Essendon was expected to win and win well, effort was clearly still the number one priority, with Brad Scott’s forwards still laying 10 tackles inside 50 to the Roos’ two. \n\nIf the Dons can bring that on a quiet Sunday against North Melbourne, they can do it against the best teams when it counts. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__What happened in the middle?__ \n\nEssendon’s clearance game is the 4th best in the competition, while the Roos rank 13th. \n\nSo for Scott’s midfield to be humbled 28-42, losing both total centre clearances and stoppage clearances, is a surprise. \n\nFor all Richmond’s faults in Round 10, they actually beat Brisbane in the clearance count, adding another fascinating storyline to this Saturday’s Dreamtime. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Jackson one-out in the ruck__ \n\nTeams have found ways to expose Rowan Marshall in recent weeks, with opposition ruckmen putting up big numbers and Luke Jackson was no exception. \n\nHe found 25 disposals, won 39 hit-outs, 10 clearances and laid six tackles. He’s clearly shown his capacity to dominate when given the sole ruck duties.\n\nOf course, Sean Darcy will be needed to spell Jackson and the pair can work together, but it seems clear at this point that the Dockers are at their best with Jackson and Josh Treacy as his backup.\n\n__Midfield mix is working beautifully__ \n\nFremantle smacked St Kilda in the midfield on Saturday night, allowing them to play with a set defence behind them and making it nearly impossible for the Saints to score.\n\nCaleb Serong, Andrew Brayshaw, Hayden Young and Nathan Fyfe as the predominant on-ball quartet was too much for St Kilda to handle, winning the clearances 50-33.\n\nIt’s been their go-to mix all season, with Matthew Johnson the fifth wheel in there and Jaeger O’Meara no longer in there.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Accuracy issues still plague Freo__ \n\nAfter last week’s debacle against the Swans, with the Dockers kicking 4.15, the yips plagued them again against St Kilda.\n\nFreo kicked 4.12 in the second half which ultimately restricted them to just 72 points – a winning score against the Saints but maybe not some other teams. \n\nIt’s one to watch as the season goes on. Jye Amiss the chief offender, kicking 2.5. There are worse problems to have!\n\n*Nic Negrepontis*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Three positional calls__ \n\nMax Holmes to half-back, Gryan Miers playing the connector role and Toby Conway as a full-time ruckman. \n\nOn a disastrous night for the Cats, that trio were clearly Chris Scott’s best players in performing exactly what was hoped. \n\nThe other 19 have got plenty to learn about breaking momentum and playing wet weather footy. \n\nScott’s system also fell apart given Geelong won contest and clearance. Lessons to be taken all round. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Stewart rendered useless again__ \n\nThere are a hundred aspects Geelong got wrong on Thursday, so we won’t harp on here. \n\nBut Round 10 was the second straight game where Tom Stewart again had no impact, despite the footy largely living in Gold Coast’s forward half. \n\nIt’s a hard one to put a finger on. Stewart had 13 intercepts, a clear game-high, but put almost zero pressure on his direct opponent. \n\nHe’s a better player than that and it’s on both Stewart and Scott to get the All-Australian calibre defender back to his impactful best and the Cats not conceding 26 goals. \n\n__Cam Guthrie’s management?__ \n\nIt’s certainly too early to tell, but have the Cats made a mistake getting Cam Guthrie straight back into the senior side? \n\nThe 32-year-old hasn’t dominated in his four games back from injury and on Thursday was subbed off in the third term of the eventual loss with nine touches to his name. \n\nHe wasn’t the only Cat below par. But he’s arguably Geelong’s most important player with Patrick Dangerfield out and a lack of experienced midfielders already and his failure will lead to Geelong’s more often than not. \n\nThe Cats were toothless without Guthrie near his best. \n\n*Seb Mottram*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Midfield dominance__ \n\nYou’ll be hard pressed to find a better performance from two midfielders in the same team in the same win. \n\nNoah Anderson (42 possessions, two goals) and Matt Rowell (35 possessions, eight clearances, 10 tackles) tore the Cats to shred at the contest and were Chris Scott’s biggest headache all night. \n\nThey weren’t up against much, but the Suns will love what they’re seeing from the developing stars. Throw in Ned Moyle’s impressive effort and 32 touches for Touk Miller and you’ve got a complete and utter midfield mauling. \n\n__Good call from Dimma__ \n\nEyebrows were raised when Damien Hardwick rested co-captain Jarrod Witts for the Suns’ biggest game of the year. \n\nBut young ruck Ned Moyle delivered in spades and justified the gutsy call. Moyle had a clear team-high 17 contested possessions and a whopping 42 hitouts, also getting busy to lay five tackles. \n\nAt the very least, Moyle – who is out of contract at the end of 2024 – had just seen his trade value jump. He continues to prove himself at AFL level on the rare occasions he gets a gig.\n\n__Where did King come from?!__ \n\nJust quietly, Ben King is a co-leader of the Coleman Medal! \n\nThe 23-year-old is in a four-way tie for first and plenty of rusted on footy fans would find themselves surprised to see King atop the goal kicking list. \n\nHe flew under the radar again on Thursday. Not his best game, but the key forward found a way to boot four goals in slippery conditions. \n\nHe’s looking a far better player than his twin brother at the current time. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Disappointment in contested footy__ \n\nDespite starring performances in the middle and blistering periods of attack, the Suns weren’t willing to get as busy as their opponents in the heat. \n\nAgainst a Cats lineup lacking plenty, especially through the midfield, the Suns still lost contested footy and clearances. \n\nHardwick’s men rank in the top six for both this year, so perhaps they’re due a mulligan. But don’t let it become the precedent. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Stars played well__\n\nToby Greene, Jesse Hogan, Lachie Whitfield, Harry Himmelberg, Tom Green and Stephen Coniglio and were among the Giants’ very best players.\n\nGreene kicked three goals from 17 touches, Hogan also booted three goals and took seven marks, Whitfield had 31 touches and 761 metres gained, Himmelberg had 30 disposals and 12 marks, Green amassed 29 touches and seven clearances and Conigio had 22 and six tackles. \n\nCal Ward did a great job in restricting Marcus Bontempelli to 10 disposals in the first three quarters which is a very impressive effort. \n\nThe reliable heads just didn’t have enough assistance from the younger and fringe players who had contributed so well in the first handful of games. \n\nIt’s a small win on an otherwise dirty weekend. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Did not play the conditions well__\n\nThe Giants were unable to match the Bulldogs in the wet conditions. \n\nAdam Kingsley lamented the fact that his side was easily beaten at clearances (38-46) and stoppage clearances (28-41).\n\nHe also felt they were not clever enough with the way they attempted to move the ball on a soggy surface. \n\nThey were unable to get their running game up and going which saw them produce just 41 inside 50s, hurting their ability to score.\n\n__Toothless in attack__\n\nGWS kicked 100 or more points in five of its first seven games of 2024.\n\nHave the Giants been worked out since?\n\nKingsley’s side has returned scores of 69, 62 and most recently 43, suggesting they are toothless in attack right now.\n\nToby Greene and Jesse Hogan kicked all six of their goals against the Dogs, highlighting a lack of assistance from those around them.\n\nThe once free-flowing Giants have been curtailed of late which has coincided with three defeats on the trot and four losses in their last five. \n\n__On a side note…__\n\nDid we overplay the Giants’ form earlier in the season?\n\nThey beat a hungover Collingwood side in Opening Round before picking up wins over North Melbourne, West Coast, Gold Coast (in Adelaide) and St Kilda - three of those sides are in the bottom five. \n\nThey did annihilate the Brisbane Lions, but it does seem perhaps their form has been somewhat overrated. \n\nThe Giants have a testing month ahead - Geelong at GMHBA, Hawthorn in Tassie, Port Adelaide and Sydney at home. We will truly know where they are by the completion of Round 15. \n\nKingsley’s side started the season nicely, but they’ve been well below their best over the last month or so. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Had it won (before they lost it)__ \n\nLet’s take the glass half-full approach. For two and a half quarters, the Hawks dominated a club with top-four aspirations on their own deck. \n\nClearances, contested footy, territory you name it, Hawthorn had it. That’s no mean feat and even though the Hawks lost, it’s a far better performance than most believed they could produce. \n\nSam Mitchell is the coach that’s touted to be, take nothing away from that. \n\n__Blake bloody Hardwick__ \n\nIf you had Blake Hardwick to kick four goals in the opening quarter, hats off. \n\nGiven he’d only kicked one goal since Round 5, the performance he put forward on Sunday afternoon at a roaring Adelaide Oval certainly came as a surprise. \n\nHe finished with five majors, 23 touches and two direct goal assists as the Hawks opened up a decent gap. \n\nIf Mitchell had his time again, you’d expect him to keep Hardwick – typically a small defender – ahead of the footy instead of throwing him down back late. \n\nBut alas, giving Hardwick the license to roam inside 50 gave Hawthorn a great shot. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__The entire last quarter__ \n\nMake no mistake, this game wasn’t only lost in the last 30 seconds. \n\nHawthorn went back into its shell for the entire last term, registering only four inside 50s for the quarter. Playing that brand of footy is asking to have your 28-point margin cut into and that’s exactly what happened. \n\nThere was no forward structure, and Hardwick – his side’s primary hope ahead of the ball – found himself deep in defence alongside Will Day, the Hawks’ best midfielder on the day. \n\nA lack of intent crucified the Hawks and Mitchell paid the price. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Won the ball at the source__\n\nDespite the 35-point loss, Melbourne did win the ball at the source.\n\nThe Demons beat the Eagles 41-36 at clearance thanks to a 28-21 stoppage clearance superiority.\n\nClayton Oliver had nine clearances, Max Gawn had six, and Jack Viney and Christian Petracca had five each. The usual suspects dd the job around the ball, but it fell over post clearance. \n\nAlthough they did the win the first ball more often than not, the Dees had their game taken away from them by the more desperate and hungrier Eagles. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Untidy by foot and blunt in attack__\n\nThe Demons struggled to conjure meaningful inside 50s across the course of the contest. \n\nYes, West Coast’s pressure was high, but the Dees were simply unable to use the ball effectively enough.\n\nTheir disposal efficiency was less than 67 per cent and they could only managed 36 inside 50s - their lowest return of the season so far. \n\nThose numbers simply did not give their forwards enough opportunity to score.\n\nAfter gaining the ascendency in the third term with a positive inside 50 count (+4), the Demons shot themselves in the foot by kicking 3.7, while the Eagles kicked 5.0.\n\n__Conceded 100+ in rare occurrence__ \n\nThe Demons conceded over 100 points for the first time this year and just the third time in a season and a half.\n\nThe 105 points kicked by the Eagles was the first time Simon Goodwin’s backline has been properly breached in 2024.\n\nA lot of that had to do with the fact that Jake Lever went off concussed in the first quarter which derailed and disorganised their defence. \n\n__Missed the chance to go third__\n\nA win would have put the Dees into third position.\n\nPlaying the last fixture of Round 10, they knew that four points would have placed them behind only Sydney and Essendon.\n\nBut they couldn’t get the job done and now sit in the middle of the pack with five other clubs on 24 points.\n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Davies-Uniacke is back__ \n\nIt hasn’t been a great season to date for LDU, but his performance against Essendon on the weekend was one of his career best.\n\nThe midfielder was the number one rated player on the ground, well clear of the next highest (Dyson Heppell), per Wheelo Ratings.\n\nHe won seven clearances, kicked two goals and had 27 disposals, but looked his explosive best.\n\n__Harry Sheezel’s best game as a midfielder__ \n\nIt’s taken Sheezel a few weeks to find his feet as an on-baller, but he really delivered on Sunday afternoon.\n\nHe found 32 disposals – back to his usual prolific nature – two goal assists, eight score involvements, six inside 50s and nine marks. \n\nIt’s a good sign for the Roos, particularly given the issues they’ve had in the midfield generally this season. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Second half wobbles__ \n\nThe second half on Sunday was hugely disappointing given the Roos were right in this game.\n\nThey went into the half-time break down seven points having traded blows and kept pace with the Bombers.\n\nFrom there, they conceded 9.5 and only managed four goals themselves, and were blown out in the fourth term. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Huge comeback__\n\nPort Adelaide were 41 points down 23 minutes into the third term on Sunday.\n\nThe likelihood of winning from there could have only been a couple of per cent, but they got there.\n\nThis team absolutely believes that 30 minutes of good footy can get them over the top of anyone, that’s how good they are once they click into top gear.\n\nUnfortunately for Hawthorn, that happened late at the Adelaide Oval as the Power kicked the final six goals to win in ridiculous fashion.\n\nThat comeback was led by Zak Butters, who collected a ridiculous 17 disposals in the last term alone.\n\nThey can thank him for securing the four points in this one.\n\n__The final minute__\n\nWith 35 seconds left, Port Adelaide were down by 11 points.\n\nLiterally EVERYTHING had to go right from there to win, and somehow it did.\n\nFirstly, Willie Rioli nailed a long set shot from a free kick. He also went back and kicked it as quickly as he possibly could to make sure time didn’t roll off the clock.\n\nAfter that, the Power had 22 seconds to find one more goal. \n\nWith the ball at a centre stoppage, Willem Drew farmed the ball out to Zak Butters who launched it forward.\n\nA contest ensued 30 metres out from goal directly in front. After the ball spilled out to a Hawthorn player, the ball sat on the ground for Darcy Byrne-Jones to soccer … the rest is history.\n\nIt was as perfect as the Power could have hoped for things to go in those dying moments.\n\nThey knew exactly what they had to do and executed perfectly.\n\nHats off to Ken Hinkley and the coaching staff, as well as the players for clicking into an all-out attack mentality to grab the win.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Sluggish start__\n\nPort Adelaide were incredibly slow out of the blocks on Sunday.\n\nThe Power allowed the Hawks to kick seven of the first eight goals, an incredibly disappointing effort given Hawthorn is a rebuilding side without some of their best players.\n\nEven though they were able to rope them back late and get over the line, they won’t want to give up that kind of start against any kind of finals contender.\n\nIf they do, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll be able to get back into it.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got \n\n__Youngsters got valuable minutes__ \n\nRichmond had 11 players with less than 40 games of experience.\n\nIt certainly was a proper footballing lesson that they received, which hopefully they’ll take plenty away from.\n\nKane McAuliffe played well in his third game, picking up 20 disposals and laying five tackles \n\nThe Tigers also managed to win clearances and centre clearances. But that was about the only stat line they won, and clearly had no bearing on the outcome. \n\nThere wasn’t much else to write home about. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Questionable effort and intent__ \n\nIt’s hard to pinpoint one exact area where the Tigers are being brushed aside.\n\nOne thing that has been alarming is the lack of pressure around the ball.\n\nThe Lions, despite losing clearances, just moved the ball so easily around the Gabba - and it made Adem Yze’s side look silly at times.\n\nRichmond’s drop-off in effort and intent over the last two weeks has been surprising, seeing as it was keeping them competitive in most games prior. \n\n__Somehow more injuries__\n\nThe amount of injuries Richmond has copped in 2024 is astounding. \n\nThey entered the Lions fixture with 15 players on the injury list. Mykelti Lefau hurt his jaw (thankfully it is not broken) and Rhyan Mansell was concussed during the game which did not help the cause. \n\nUnfortunately, ruckman Sam Naismith went down with another ACL injury in the VFL on Sunday, further compounding the club’s personnel issues. \n\nIt’s been a season of hell on the injury front at Punt Road. \n\n__Can’t score, can’t defend__\n\nThe Tigers’ lack of scoring ability has been one area that has plagued them in 2024.\n\nThey have scored just 622 points in 10 games at an average of 62.2 which is the lowest in the league. \n\nThey have failed to kick 50 points in each of the last four games.\n\nRichmond’s defence is also a glaring issue. They’ve conceded 1044 points at an average of 104.4 points per game. Only North Melbourne has conceded more points. \n\nIt’s time for Adem Yze to get tough with the playing group to avoid this season being even more of a disaster than it already is. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__The Swans have unearthed another tagger__ \n\nThe Sydney Swans have had a knack of uncovering undervalued role players and transforming them into the best tagger in the game. In 2022, it was Ryan Clarke who was tasked with shutting the opposition's most damaging player to great effect. \n\nThis year, it’s new recruit James Jordon who added Sam Walsh to his growing list of scalps. Walsh was unable find any rhythm or space in his game as he was held to 20 disposals (27.2 season average), three clearances (3.9), four score involvements (7.3) and one goal at 55% disposal efficiency (64.2%). \n\nJordon was able to find plenty of ball himself in the meantime with 16 touches, six tackles, three clearances, six score involvements and a goal. After shutting down Jordan Clark at Fremantle and Lachie Whitfield at the Giants, the Western Bulldogs will face a nervous wait to see who his next target will be. \n\n__The Chad lights it up for Marngrook__ \n\nChad Warner tore Carlton to shreds on Friday night with one of the best individual performances of the season to take home the player of the match award. Warmer amassed a team-high 28 disposals, 14 score involvements, 10 marks, 10 contested possessions, 721 metres gained and 3.2. \n\n__Running power overwhelms Carlton__ \n\nCarlton had no answer for the running speed and attacking play from the Swans whose midfielders and half back line ran circles around Michael Voss’ men. Sydney’s 23 players gained 6,158 metres compared to Calrton’s 5,621. \n\nThe Swans recorded a remarkable 17 running bounces on Friday night including nine alone from Chad Warner. There is no shame in Carlton being unable to contain the Swans’ run and carry with Sydney having the second most running bounces in the competition with 84. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__A concerning slow start __\n\nThe Swans found themselves 26 points behind midway through the first term and it could’ve been far worse if Harry McKay hadn’t missed from straight in front. Whilst the Swans went on to kick 13 of the 14 goals, John Longmire and the Swans should not sweep the slow start under the rug. \n\n*Charles Goodsir* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Josh Battle continues to shine in a contract year__\n\nSt Kilda will clearly be hoping to lock defender Josh Battle in long term as he remains a sturdy part of the defensive structures.\n\nBattle took 12 marks to go with 17 disposals in the loss to Freo, and is putting together an incredibly strong month. \n\nThings are going wrong for the Saints generally, but Battle has certainly carrying his load. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__St Kilda’s forward line is toothless__ \n\nMattaes Phillipou – four disposals, one goal – can’t find the footy.\n\nMax King – 10 disposals, goalless – is shockingly out of form. \n\nLiam Henry has been slow in re-integrating post injury, Lance Collard can’t be expected to find much of the footy and Anthony Caminiti comes in and kicks two goals, but likely makes way again for Tim Membrey.\n\nMitchito Owens kicks three, but only has eight disposals? How does that happen? \n\nSt Kilda needs to drastically adjust what they’re doing inside 50 and get these top-end players involved. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Harley Reid… again.__\n\nThe scariest part of Harley Reid’s ascendance is that this is likely the worst he is going to be in his career.\n\nThe young Eagle was absolutely electric against the Demons, dominating for stretches at a time and putting together a single-game highlight reel that would rival many players’ career highlights.\n\nReid has singlehandedly revitalised the entirety of West Coast, and the direst situation in the AFL has suddenly become full of optimism.\n\n__Jake Waterman is unstoppable__\n\nOn current form, there is arguably no better forward in the AFL than Jake Waterman.\n\nThat is not a sentence that many would have expected to exist coming into the season.\n\nAfter another bag of five against Melbourne, Waterman moves into equal-first in the Coleman race with 29 goals, with 23 of those coming in the last five games.\n\nWhile he is undoubtedly riding an unbelievable hot streak, the forward is playing a brand of footy that could conceivably span through the entire season, dominating aerial contests regardless of opponent.\n\nIt will be fascinating to see how Adam Simpson balances the forward line once Oscar Allen returns, as the right combination could suddenly make the Eagles’ attack look very scary.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Not slamming the door early__\n\nIt’s hard to nitpick a comprehensive victory over a premiership contender, other than the fact that it should have been even more comprehensive.\n\nThe Eagles led the Demons by 13 points going into the main break, despite having eight more scoring shots in the first half.\n\nWest Coast’s inaccuracy kept Melbourne in the game early on, and if they had kicked 10.5 rather than 7.8 in that opening half they could have completely slammed the door.\n\nOtherwise, it was a completely dominant display from the Eagles, with the 35-point margin arguably flattering the Demons.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n\n\n__Dominance everywhere but the scoreboard__\n\nIn almost every single facet of the game, this had the makings of a comfortable thrashing.\n\nThe Bulldogs easily came out on top in the clearance game, contested possessions and inside 50 count, all while forcing the Giants to play an unfamiliar, slow brand of football with a strong defensive structure.\n\nIt was the kind of performance that answered the bulk of concerns that had been levelled at the Bulldogs all season long and reaffirms their case for finals just weeks after they seemed out of reach.\n\nWith a tough stretch ahead of them, including games against the Swans and Magpies in back-to-back weeks, it’s time for the Bulldogs to prove that this display against GWS wasn’t an aberration.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Kicking accuracy__\n\nEven considering the slippery conditions, this was one of the worst goalkicking performances of the season.\n\nThe Bulldogs racked up a monstrous 30 scoring shots, 17 more than the Giants, and only managed a 27-point victory.\n\nA scoreline of 8.22, highlighted by a goalless opening term is simply unacceptable for any AFL team, let alone a Dogs side that is now back in the thick of the finals hunt.\n\nExpect plenty of kicking drills to be on the agenda down at Whitten Oval this week.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n[](https://www.sen.com.au/app/)","date":"2024-05-20T16:05+10:00","author":"SEN","seoTitle":"What they got right and wrong: Each club’s wins

I don’t know whether there needs to be a reset. Is this a trend? Is it a pattern of behaviour? I’m not sure. Maybe it’s just an event.\n\n“That’s a lot of players out of the game. We want the best players playing for long periods. \n\n\n\n“It’s difficult to put it to one thing. It’s a lot of things. I think there’s only four or five concussions amongst that 150-odd out. \n\n“If you want my opinion, I just feel like the game itself, we’re asking a lot of our players.\n\n“Is the game too long?”\n\nMcRae pondered the incremental increase in length of AFL seasons which last year jumped to 23 home and away matches and this year holds 24 rounds after the addition of Opening Round. \n\nHe feels that the game is asking a lot of the players and the unspoken feedback is coming in waves, in the way of constant unavailability. \n\n“They (the AFL) want to play more games. Potentially they want to play more games like in hub life,” he added.\n\n“We’re playing off five and six-day breaks, our players are doing that weekly, and it’s not just us, it’s every team.\n\n“Then there’s a flow-on effect of fatigue and the game has never been more powerful and physical in my eyes. From what I see from the boundary line and see our players post games.\n\n[](https://senstadium.com.au/)\n\n“We’re asking a lot of them. As athletes they look fitter and stronger than they’ve ever been. We start the season earlier, there’s still 15 rounds to go.\n\n“I just think there’s something to be said about the game which is giving us feedback. 150 players out, that’s giving us feedback.\n\n“If you’re comparing year to year, it’s a big number (153 unavailable players).”\n\nMcRae looks at shortened game time, like during the COVID-impacted season of 2020, as one possible solution to the injury crisis. \n\n“In hub life we played less time and I don’t think the game was any less of a product. Clearly we didn’t have the crowds to back that up,” McRae said further. \n\n“We were having five and six-day breaks regularly. We’re going into our third six-day break in a row, there is a fatigue level. \n\n“I don’t want to make this a Collingwood-centric thing, because it’s not, it’s a cost to all of our players. \n\n“When I come into match committee this week and you look at the magnets, you go ‘wow’, and then I hear this information.\n\n“It’s real.” \n\nPrior to Round 10, the Magpies had 13 players on their injury list, not including Jordan De Goey who played in the narrow win over Adelaide, but has [pulled up sore since](https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/05/20/collingwood-release-troubling-news-about-de-goeys-health-as-injury-list/). \n\nIn their victory over the Crows, Reef McInnes was concussed while Will Hoskin-Elliott suffered a hamstring injury \n\nThe reigning premiers next meet Fremantle in Perth on Friday night. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T07:40+10:00","author":"Andrew Slevison","seoTitle":"“Is the game too long?”: AFL injury crisis has Collingwood coach pondering length of the game","seoDescription":"More than 150 players were unavailable in Round 10.","seoKeywords":"AFL","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"3rnS5vw99XvTSJyddVtGVg","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-20T21:36:14.784Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-20T21:36:14.784Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Craig McRae Collingwood ","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/3rnS5vw99XvTSJyddVtGVg/056c3d711b34fff7f7a4d9b7bdb78534/07EsCo24DB2127.jpg","details":{"size":8129060,"image":{"width":5213,"height":3475}},"fileName":"07EsCo24DB2127.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5uOBi2OdBCeMgICO86cwWG","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:54.508Z","updatedAt":"2018-10-18T02:38:42.586Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":4,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"AFL","bgColour":"0060ff","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"afl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"3xw1XmSarFSlxfDZZ62HVM","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-04-03T00:11:51.559Z","updatedAt":"2024-04-03T00:13:08.044Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"AFL Teams","slug":"afl-all-teams","primary":false}}],"state":["QLD","NSW","TAS","WA","VIC","SA"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"o7n7zPKCaRDoXYSdmRExk","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:02.773Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:02.773Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Why Fraser-McGurk and Short were added to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad","slug":"why-fraser-mcgurk-and-short-were-added-to-australias-t20-world-cup-squad","summary":"“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer.”","content":"Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short have been added as travelling reserves to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad, although both won’t play unless there is an injury in the squad. \n\nWith Andrew McDonald and members of his squad set to fly out on Wednesday for the World Cup in the West Indies and the US, the Australian coach joined *SEN’s Whateley* to detail changes to the travelling party. \n\nIn-form opener Fraser-McGurk and BBL star Short have been added to the 15-man squad, with McDonald stating the batters bring different qualities. \n\n“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer. Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round…

across his last five games having missed the Round 9 loss to Collingwood with concussion.\n\nHasleby says there’s no defender in the competition that can go with the Eagle in the form he’s currently in.\n\n“Jake Waterman has been the best player in the comp over the last five games he has played,” Hasleby said on *SEN’s The Run Home WA*.\n\n“Six, five, four, three, five (goals) – that’s 23 goals in the last five games.\n\n“He's got 29 for the year.

That's how big his impact has been for this Eagles side, and I would dare anybody out there right now to say who's a better player in the competition.\n\n“I think he's the best player in the competition right now, from what I've seen.”\n\nWaterman - the current equal Coleman Medal leader alongside Charlie Curnow, Ben King and Jesse Hogan - will hope to keep his ridiculous run of form going when the Eagles face the Crows at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday.\n\n\n\n[](https://senstadium.com.au/)","date":"2024-05-21T11:25+10:00","author":"Lachlan Geleit","seoTitle":"Club great anoints in-form Eagle as the “best player in the competition right now”","seoDescription":"\"There's nobody in the comp right now that can go with him.\"","seoKeywords":"AFL","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"24laOfarIa3MNhBoCAe8rp","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-20T08:04:36.140Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-20T08:04:36.140Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Jake Waterman","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/24laOfarIa3MNhBoCAe8rp/61ecae1445c3759496a4228e836cf5fd/10WCMe24DC1488.jpg","details":{"size":6393100,"image":{"width":4864,"height":3243}},"fileName":"10WCMe24DC1488.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5uOBi2OdBCeMgICO86cwWG","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:54.508Z","updatedAt":"2018-10-18T02:38:42.586Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":4,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"AFL","bgColour":"0060ff","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"afl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"1cYAcVBtuWQO20Yw6oEASk","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:32:18.365Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:05.855Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"West Coast Eagles","aflId":17,"slug":"west-coast-eagles"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"K7jjdaVuPeLz1dMSkWAQI","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T08:36:48.946Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T08:36:48.946Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Who are the AFL's most clutch players?

Sam Taylor (GWS Giants)__\n\n“This one took my interest. He’s played in six quarters over the last two years where games have been decided by under 12 points and what he’s done in those six quarters, his intercept marking, ability to hold up against momentum has been a bit of a point of difference. \n\n“A lot of these players we’re seeing their work ahead of the ball and seeing their work at clearance and contest, but his ability to hold up behind the footy and be that roadblock (has been the standard).” \n\n__4.

Even though they didn’t win, they gave themselves enough chances to.\n\nThis team still believes their best is good enough to match it with the best, and they’re not wrong.\n\nIt’s one small thing to hang their hat on.\n\n__Getting the ball inside 50__\n\nThe Crows gave their forwards enough opportunities to win Saturday’s game, going inside 50 on 58 occasions to Collingwood’s 49.\n\nIn the final quarter alone, they went in 16 times to Collingwood’s nine. That’s where they really had the chance to win.\n\nLooking at expected score as well, the Crows only were behind 68.3 to 67.6, proving that the result was really a coinflip as the Magpies came up clutch.\n\nOn other occasions, those inside 50s will result in more scores and the Crows will get more reward for their efforts.\n\nIt was a defeat, but one they’ll take a lot of positives from.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Not sending anyone to Daicos in the first half__\n\nAdelaide should never have let Nick Daicos run free for the first half on Saturday.\n\nI mean, he’s a top two or three player in the competition on form and is only building into his season now.\n\nThe Pies superstar had a ridiculous 10 clearances and 24 disposals in the first half alone.\n\nWhile Jordan Dawson sat on him at stoppage in the second half, restricting him somewhat to four clearances and 17 disposals from then on, most of the damage was already done.\n\nWe’re not saying they should have tagged Daicos outright, but he’s one of a couple of players in the league that you need to put time into or else you will bleed.\n\nIn a game that was so tight in the end, it was just about the difference in the result.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Selfless Lions__ \n\nThe Lions shared the ball around at will, given the lack of Richmond pressure that came their way. \n\nThey were able to do as they pleased in and around forward 50, highlighted by Lachie Neale’s remarkable six goal assists.\n\nLogan Morris, Eric Hipwood, Joe Daniher and Jarrod Berry all had two goal assists each and the general finding of a teammate in a better position was evident all night. \n\nDespite two bags of five from Kai Lohmann and Charlie Cameron, their 26 goals were spread across 12 players which is a great sign for Chris Fagan. \n\n__Finishing was on fire__ \n\nBrisbane kicked 26.7 in a damaging display of finishing and accuracy. \n\nBefore Saturday night, the Lions had only kicked more goals than behinds in two matches in 2024. \n\nIt helps when you are afforded so much time and space to be able to conjure constant shots at goal, but they were able to put them away - something that has evaded them for much of the campaign. \n\n__Lohmann breaks out, Ah Chee delivers__ \n\nHe’s been bubbling away with some solid performances in the senior side this year, but Lohmann produced the best game of his career. \n\nLohmann had a nice fill-up with five goals from 14 disposals and seven marks, doing the damage early with a pair of majors in the first term. \n\nIt is normally the usual suspects whenever the Lions have a win, so it was nice to see an emerging player, in just his 18th AFL game, shine so brightly. \n\nCallum Ah Chee also got in on the act again with 19 disposals and 12 marks. \n\nHis hanger in the second quarter was a thing of beauty. \n\n__Relentless and ruthless all night__\n\nThe Lions jumped out of the blocks with seven first-quarter goals to Richmond’s zero.\n\nBut it wasn’t a one off.\n\nThey kept their foot on the throat of the Tigers, piling on six goals in the second, eight in the third and five more in the last. \n\nIt was a relentless and ruthless performance, perhaps the one that will truly kickstart their run towards finals. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Hipwood report and clearance numbers__ \n\nIt’s hard to find any woes in a 119-point win.\n\nThe only negative we can find is the tackle by Eric Hipwood on Nick Vlastuin which led to a one-week suspension (pending any possible Lions appeal). \n\nSomehow they were also beaten in clearances (35-36) and centre clearances (11-16), but obviously those numbers had zero impact on the game. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Zac Williams to half forward__ \n\nZac Williams has mostly struggled to find form in defence this year and has looked half the player he was before the ACL injury.\n\nThe Blues moved Williams to half forward in this one given the mountain of injuries they have to their forwards and he looked good early.\n\nHe was moved around following Jacob Weitering’s injury, but it was a role worth persisting with.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Carlton’s midfield is too slow__ \n\nSydney isn’t the first team to exploit Carlton when they play all of Cripps, Kennedy and Hewett, but it was particularly evident on Friday night.\n\nThe Swans did as they pleased at centre bounces and when the ball went their way, they were off to the races.\n\nCarlton clearly noticed the issue, trying Corey Durdin on-ball at stages, but that’s not the answer either.\n\nThe Blues need more dynamic players in the middle and Elijah Hollands is surely the one to receive a few opportunities in Adam Cerra’s absence. \n\n__Too many forwards don’t touch the footy__ \n\nCorey Durdin and Orazio Fantasia both played full games of footy on Thursday night for a combined 10 disposals, four tackles and 0.1.\n\nTom De Koning also spent 80 per cent of the game forward as Marc Pittonet assumes full control of the ruck – De Koning had six disposals, one mark and didn’t hit the scoreboard.\n\nCarlton needs to revamp their forward mix and needs desperately to hope Lachie Fogarty and Jesse Motlop are available to return this weekend. \n\nThe Blues also should go back to one ruckman and try to get their forward-half pressure game back, given it has dropped away significantly. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Clearance domination and midfield start__\n\nCollingwood’s midfield got the side off to a cracking start on Saturday.\n\nThe Pies kicked eight of the first 11 goals, and that was no doubt thanks to the upper hand they had at the contest.\n\nIn the first quarter alone, the top six ball-winners on the ground were all Magpies, with Nick Daicos (15 disposals), Scott Pendlebury (two goals, 12 disposals) and Jordan De Goey (one goal, 10 touches) doing most of the damage.\n\nGetting so much ball from the centre helped launch Collingwood’s scores as the Crows played catch up for the rest of the game.\n\nEven though the Crows worked back into it, the Pies also won the clearance count 44-36.\n\nIt’s the third week in a row where they’ve really dominated on-ball. If things remain the same, this side will be very hard to beat once talent returns in other areas of the ground.\n\n__Finding enough goalkickers with soldiers going down__\n\nCollingwood was already missing a handful of important forwards on Saturday, and things got worse when Will Hoskin-Elliott (hamstring) and Reef McInnes (concussion) went down with injuries.\n\nSomehow though, the Pies managed to kick a winning score, with nine individual goalkickers chipping in.\n\nOf those players, three were genuine midfielders, while half-back John Noble also got in on the action.\n\nCollingwood share the load as well as any team in the comp and that proved to be the case on Saturday.\n\nIf they can keep doing that while adding the likes of Mihocek, McCreery, Elliott and even McStay back into the team, this offence will go to another level.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Didn’t ever really put the Crows away__\n\nEven though the Magpies got out to a five-goal lead in the second term, they lacked the killer blow to ever put Adelaide away.\n\nThat came back to haunt them in the last quarter as the Crows pressed and even snatched the lead back for a brief moment.\n\nIf they had put the Crows away when they had the chance and cattle available, it never would have been an issue.\n\nWhen you’ve got the momentum, you need to make it count. Things like last week can happen far too easily when the Pies didn’t have a single tall target to kick to in the fourth term at stages, allowing the Crows to lock the ball in their front half.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got (W)right \n\n__Two-metre Peter back in form__ \n\nPeter Wright hadn’t kicked more than two goals since returning from suspension and was coming off a goalless performance against GWS. \n\nHe needed a big game and delivered against North Melbourne in a comfortable 40-point win. Four goals from six shots, as well as 11 hitouts and nine marks is right among the better games he’ll play and inspires confidence for the rest of the season.\n\nWright also enjoyed an equal club-high six inside 50s. Watch out Richmond this week. \n\n__Kept the pressure on__ \n\nThe Bombers had 22 less uncontested possessions than Alastair Clarkson’s North Melbourne but still laid some 56 tackles, 14 more than North Melbourne. \n\nIn a game Essendon was expected to win and win well, effort was clearly still the number one priority, with Brad Scott’s forwards still laying 10 tackles inside 50 to the Roos’ two. \n\nIf the Dons can bring that on a quiet Sunday against North Melbourne, they can do it against the best teams when it counts. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__What happened in the middle?__ \n\nEssendon’s clearance game is the 4th best in the competition, while the Roos rank 13th. \n\nSo for Scott’s midfield to be humbled 28-42, losing both total centre clearances and stoppage clearances, is a surprise. \n\nFor all Richmond’s faults in Round 10, they actually beat Brisbane in the clearance count, adding another fascinating storyline to this Saturday’s Dreamtime. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Jackson one-out in the ruck__ \n\nTeams have found ways to expose Rowan Marshall in recent weeks, with opposition ruckmen putting up big numbers and Luke Jackson was no exception. \n\nHe found 25 disposals, won 39 hit-outs, 10 clearances and laid six tackles. He’s clearly shown his capacity to dominate when given the sole ruck duties.\n\nOf course, Sean Darcy will be needed to spell Jackson and the pair can work together, but it seems clear at this point that the Dockers are at their best with Jackson and Josh Treacy as his backup.\n\n__Midfield mix is working beautifully__ \n\nFremantle smacked St Kilda in the midfield on Saturday night, allowing them to play with a set defence behind them and making it nearly impossible for the Saints to score.\n\nCaleb Serong, Andrew Brayshaw, Hayden Young and Nathan Fyfe as the predominant on-ball quartet was too much for St Kilda to handle, winning the clearances 50-33.\n\nIt’s been their go-to mix all season, with Matthew Johnson the fifth wheel in there and Jaeger O’Meara no longer in there.\n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Accuracy issues still plague Freo__ \n\nAfter last week’s debacle against the Swans, with the Dockers kicking 4.15, the yips plagued them again against St Kilda.\n\nFreo kicked 4.12 in the second half which ultimately restricted them to just 72 points – a winning score against the Saints but maybe not some other teams. \n\nIt’s one to watch as the season goes on. Jye Amiss the chief offender, kicking 2.5. There are worse problems to have!\n\n*Nic Negrepontis*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Three positional calls__ \n\nMax Holmes to half-back, Gryan Miers playing the connector role and Toby Conway as a full-time ruckman. \n\nOn a disastrous night for the Cats, that trio were clearly Chris Scott’s best players in performing exactly what was hoped. \n\nThe other 19 have got plenty to learn about breaking momentum and playing wet weather footy. \n\nScott’s system also fell apart given Geelong won contest and clearance. Lessons to be taken all round. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Stewart rendered useless again__ \n\nThere are a hundred aspects Geelong got wrong on Thursday, so we won’t harp on here. \n\nBut Round 10 was the second straight game where Tom Stewart again had no impact, despite the footy largely living in Gold Coast’s forward half. \n\nIt’s a hard one to put a finger on. Stewart had 13 intercepts, a clear game-high, but put almost zero pressure on his direct opponent. \n\nHe’s a better player than that and it’s on both Stewart and Scott to get the All-Australian calibre defender back to his impactful best and the Cats not conceding 26 goals. \n\n__Cam Guthrie’s management?__ \n\nIt’s certainly too early to tell, but have the Cats made a mistake getting Cam Guthrie straight back into the senior side? \n\nThe 32-year-old hasn’t dominated in his four games back from injury and on Thursday was subbed off in the third term of the eventual loss with nine touches to his name. \n\nHe wasn’t the only Cat below par. But he’s arguably Geelong’s most important player with Patrick Dangerfield out and a lack of experienced midfielders already and his failure will lead to Geelong’s more often than not. \n\nThe Cats were toothless without Guthrie near his best. \n\n*Seb Mottram*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Midfield dominance__ \n\nYou’ll be hard pressed to find a better performance from two midfielders in the same team in the same win. \n\nNoah Anderson (42 possessions, two goals) and Matt Rowell (35 possessions, eight clearances, 10 tackles) tore the Cats to shred at the contest and were Chris Scott’s biggest headache all night. \n\nThey weren’t up against much, but the Suns will love what they’re seeing from the developing stars. Throw in Ned Moyle’s impressive effort and 32 touches for Touk Miller and you’ve got a complete and utter midfield mauling. \n\n__Good call from Dimma__ \n\nEyebrows were raised when Damien Hardwick rested co-captain Jarrod Witts for the Suns’ biggest game of the year. \n\nBut young ruck Ned Moyle delivered in spades and justified the gutsy call. Moyle had a clear team-high 17 contested possessions and a whopping 42 hitouts, also getting busy to lay five tackles. \n\nAt the very least, Moyle – who is out of contract at the end of 2024 – had just seen his trade value jump. He continues to prove himself at AFL level on the rare occasions he gets a gig.\n\n__Where did King come from?!__ \n\nJust quietly, Ben King is a co-leader of the Coleman Medal! \n\nThe 23-year-old is in a four-way tie for first and plenty of rusted on footy fans would find themselves surprised to see King atop the goal kicking list. \n\nHe flew under the radar again on Thursday. Not his best game, but the key forward found a way to boot four goals in slippery conditions. \n\nHe’s looking a far better player than his twin brother at the current time. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Disappointment in contested footy__ \n\nDespite starring performances in the middle and blistering periods of attack, the Suns weren’t willing to get as busy as their opponents in the heat. \n\nAgainst a Cats lineup lacking plenty, especially through the midfield, the Suns still lost contested footy and clearances. \n\nHardwick’s men rank in the top six for both this year, so perhaps they’re due a mulligan. But don’t let it become the precedent. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__Stars played well__\n\nToby Greene, Jesse Hogan, Lachie Whitfield, Harry Himmelberg, Tom Green and Stephen Coniglio and were among the Giants’ very best players.\n\nGreene kicked three goals from 17 touches, Hogan also booted three goals and took seven marks, Whitfield had 31 touches and 761 metres gained, Himmelberg had 30 disposals and 12 marks, Green amassed 29 touches and seven clearances and Conigio had 22 and six tackles. \n\nCal Ward did a great job in restricting Marcus Bontempelli to 10 disposals in the first three quarters which is a very impressive effort. \n\nThe reliable heads just didn’t have enough assistance from the younger and fringe players who had contributed so well in the first handful of games. \n\nIt’s a small win on an otherwise dirty weekend. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Did not play the conditions well__\n\nThe Giants were unable to match the Bulldogs in the wet conditions. \n\nAdam Kingsley lamented the fact that his side was easily beaten at clearances (38-46) and stoppage clearances (28-41).\n\nHe also felt they were not clever enough with the way they attempted to move the ball on a soggy surface. \n\nThey were unable to get their running game up and going which saw them produce just 41 inside 50s, hurting their ability to score.\n\n__Toothless in attack__\n\nGWS kicked 100 or more points in five of its first seven games of 2024.\n\nHave the Giants been worked out since?\n\nKingsley’s side has returned scores of 69, 62 and most recently 43, suggesting they are toothless in attack right now.\n\nToby Greene and Jesse Hogan kicked all six of their goals against the Dogs, highlighting a lack of assistance from those around them.\n\nThe once free-flowing Giants have been curtailed of late which has coincided with three defeats on the trot and four losses in their last five. \n\n__On a side note…__\n\nDid we overplay the Giants’ form earlier in the season?\n\nThey beat a hungover Collingwood side in Opening Round before picking up wins over North Melbourne, West Coast, Gold Coast (in Adelaide) and St Kilda - three of those sides are in the bottom five. \n\nThey did annihilate the Brisbane Lions, but it does seem perhaps their form has been somewhat overrated. \n\nThe Giants have a testing month ahead - Geelong at GMHBA, Hawthorn in Tassie, Port Adelaide and Sydney at home. We will truly know where they are by the completion of Round 15. \n\nKingsley’s side started the season nicely, but they’ve been well below their best over the last month or so. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Had it won (before they lost it)__ \n\nLet’s take the glass half-full approach. For two and a half quarters, the Hawks dominated a club with top-four aspirations on their own deck. \n\nClearances, contested footy, territory you name it, Hawthorn had it. That’s no mean feat and even though the Hawks lost, it’s a far better performance than most believed they could produce. \n\nSam Mitchell is the coach that’s touted to be, take nothing away from that. \n\n__Blake bloody Hardwick__ \n\nIf you had Blake Hardwick to kick four goals in the opening quarter, hats off. \n\nGiven he’d only kicked one goal since Round 5, the performance he put forward on Sunday afternoon at a roaring Adelaide Oval certainly came as a surprise. \n\nHe finished with five majors, 23 touches and two direct goal assists as the Hawks opened up a decent gap. \n\nIf Mitchell had his time again, you’d expect him to keep Hardwick – typically a small defender – ahead of the footy instead of throwing him down back late. \n\nBut alas, giving Hardwick the license to roam inside 50 gave Hawthorn a great shot. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__The entire last quarter__ \n\nMake no mistake, this game wasn’t only lost in the last 30 seconds. \n\nHawthorn went back into its shell for the entire last term, registering only four inside 50s for the quarter. Playing that brand of footy is asking to have your 28-point margin cut into and that’s exactly what happened. \n\nThere was no forward structure, and Hardwick – his side’s primary hope ahead of the ball – found himself deep in defence alongside Will Day, the Hawks’ best midfielder on the day. \n\nA lack of intent crucified the Hawks and Mitchell paid the price. \n\n*Seb Mottram* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Won the ball at the source__\n\nDespite the 35-point loss, Melbourne did win the ball at the source.\n\nThe Demons beat the Eagles 41-36 at clearance thanks to a 28-21 stoppage clearance superiority.\n\nClayton Oliver had nine clearances, Max Gawn had six, and Jack Viney and Christian Petracca had five each. The usual suspects dd the job around the ball, but it fell over post clearance. \n\nAlthough they did the win the first ball more often than not, the Dees had their game taken away from them by the more desperate and hungrier Eagles. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Untidy by foot and blunt in attack__\n\nThe Demons struggled to conjure meaningful inside 50s across the course of the contest. \n\nYes, West Coast’s pressure was high, but the Dees were simply unable to use the ball effectively enough.\n\nTheir disposal efficiency was less than 67 per cent and they could only managed 36 inside 50s - their lowest return of the season so far. \n\nThose numbers simply did not give their forwards enough opportunity to score.\n\nAfter gaining the ascendency in the third term with a positive inside 50 count (+4), the Demons shot themselves in the foot by kicking 3.7, while the Eagles kicked 5.0.\n\n__Conceded 100+ in rare occurrence__ \n\nThe Demons conceded over 100 points for the first time this year and just the third time in a season and a half.\n\nThe 105 points kicked by the Eagles was the first time Simon Goodwin’s backline has been properly breached in 2024.\n\nA lot of that had to do with the fact that Jake Lever went off concussed in the first quarter which derailed and disorganised their defence. \n\n__Missed the chance to go third__\n\nA win would have put the Dees into third position.\n\nPlaying the last fixture of Round 10, they knew that four points would have placed them behind only Sydney and Essendon.\n\nBut they couldn’t get the job done and now sit in the middle of the pack with five other clubs on 24 points.\n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Luke Davies-Uniacke is back__ \n\nIt hasn’t been a great season to date for LDU, but his performance against Essendon on the weekend was one of his career best.\n\nThe midfielder was the number one rated player on the ground, well clear of the next highest (Dyson Heppell), per Wheelo Ratings.\n\nHe won seven clearances, kicked two goals and had 27 disposals, but looked his explosive best.\n\n__Harry Sheezel’s best game as a midfielder__ \n\nIt’s taken Sheezel a few weeks to find his feet as an on-baller, but he really delivered on Sunday afternoon.\n\nHe found 32 disposals – back to his usual prolific nature – two goal assists, eight score involvements, six inside 50s and nine marks. \n\nIt’s a good sign for the Roos, particularly given the issues they’ve had in the midfield generally this season. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__Second half wobbles__ \n\nThe second half on Sunday was hugely disappointing given the Roos were right in this game.\n\nThey went into the half-time break down seven points having traded blows and kept pace with the Bombers.\n\nFrom there, they conceded 9.5 and only managed four goals themselves, and were blown out in the fourth term. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they did right\n\n__Huge comeback__\n\nPort Adelaide were 41 points down 23 minutes into the third term on Sunday.\n\nThe likelihood of winning from there could have only been a couple of per cent, but they got there.\n\nThis team absolutely believes that 30 minutes of good footy can get them over the top of anyone, that’s how good they are once they click into top gear.\n\nUnfortunately for Hawthorn, that happened late at the Adelaide Oval as the Power kicked the final six goals to win in ridiculous fashion.\n\nThat comeback was led by Zak Butters, who collected a ridiculous 17 disposals in the last term alone.\n\nThey can thank him for securing the four points in this one.\n\n__The final minute__\n\nWith 35 seconds left, Port Adelaide were down by 11 points.\n\nLiterally EVERYTHING had to go right from there to win, and somehow it did.\n\nFirstly, Willie Rioli nailed a long set shot from a free kick. He also went back and kicked it as quickly as he possibly could to make sure time didn’t roll off the clock.\n\nAfter that, the Power had 22 seconds to find one more goal. \n\nWith the ball at a centre stoppage, Willem Drew farmed the ball out to Zak Butters who launched it forward.\n\nA contest ensued 30 metres out from goal directly in front. After the ball spilled out to a Hawthorn player, the ball sat on the ground for Darcy Byrne-Jones to soccer … the rest is history.\n\nIt was as perfect as the Power could have hoped for things to go in those dying moments.\n\nThey knew exactly what they had to do and executed perfectly.\n\nHats off to Ken Hinkley and the coaching staff, as well as the players for clicking into an all-out attack mentality to grab the win.\n\n### What they did wrong\n\n__Sluggish start__\n\nPort Adelaide were incredibly slow out of the blocks on Sunday.\n\nThe Power allowed the Hawks to kick seven of the first eight goals, an incredibly disappointing effort given Hawthorn is a rebuilding side without some of their best players.\n\nEven though they were able to rope them back late and get over the line, they won’t want to give up that kind of start against any kind of finals contender.\n\nIf they do, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll be able to get back into it.\n\n*Lachlan Geleit*\n\n\n\n### What they got \n\n__Youngsters got valuable minutes__ \n\nRichmond had 11 players with less than 40 games of experience.\n\nIt certainly was a proper footballing lesson that they received, which hopefully they’ll take plenty away from.\n\nKane McAuliffe played well in his third game, picking up 20 disposals and laying five tackles \n\nThe Tigers also managed to win clearances and centre clearances. But that was about the only stat line they won, and clearly had no bearing on the outcome. \n\nThere wasn’t much else to write home about. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Questionable effort and intent__ \n\nIt’s hard to pinpoint one exact area where the Tigers are being brushed aside.\n\nOne thing that has been alarming is the lack of pressure around the ball.\n\nThe Lions, despite losing clearances, just moved the ball so easily around the Gabba - and it made Adem Yze’s side look silly at times.\n\nRichmond’s drop-off in effort and intent over the last two weeks has been surprising, seeing as it was keeping them competitive in most games prior. \n\n__Somehow more injuries__\n\nThe amount of injuries Richmond has copped in 2024 is astounding. \n\nThey entered the Lions fixture with 15 players on the injury list. Mykelti Lefau hurt his jaw (thankfully it is not broken) and Rhyan Mansell was concussed during the game which did not help the cause. \n\nUnfortunately, ruckman Sam Naismith went down with another ACL injury in the VFL on Sunday, further compounding the club’s personnel issues. \n\nIt’s been a season of hell on the injury front at Punt Road. \n\n__Can’t score, can’t defend__\n\nThe Tigers’ lack of scoring ability has been one area that has plagued them in 2024.\n\nThey have scored just 622 points in 10 games at an average of 62.2 which is the lowest in the league. \n\nThey have failed to kick 50 points in each of the last four games.\n\nRichmond’s defence is also a glaring issue. They’ve conceded 1044 points at an average of 104.4 points per game. Only North Melbourne has conceded more points. \n\nIt’s time for Adem Yze to get tough with the playing group to avoid this season being even more of a disaster than it already is. \n\n*Andrew Slevison*\n\n\n\n### What they got right\n\n__The Swans have unearthed another tagger__ \n\nThe Sydney Swans have had a knack of uncovering undervalued role players and transforming them into the best tagger in the game. In 2022, it was Ryan Clarke who was tasked with shutting the opposition's most damaging player to great effect. \n\nThis year, it’s new recruit James Jordon who added Sam Walsh to his growing list of scalps. Walsh was unable find any rhythm or space in his game as he was held to 20 disposals (27.2 season average), three clearances (3.9), four score involvements (7.3) and one goal at 55% disposal efficiency (64.2%). \n\nJordon was able to find plenty of ball himself in the meantime with 16 touches, six tackles, three clearances, six score involvements and a goal. After shutting down Jordan Clark at Fremantle and Lachie Whitfield at the Giants, the Western Bulldogs will face a nervous wait to see who his next target will be. \n\n__The Chad lights it up for Marngrook__ \n\nChad Warner tore Carlton to shreds on Friday night with one of the best individual performances of the season to take home the player of the match award. Warmer amassed a team-high 28 disposals, 14 score involvements, 10 marks, 10 contested possessions, 721 metres gained and 3.2. \n\n__Running power overwhelms Carlton__ \n\nCarlton had no answer for the running speed and attacking play from the Swans whose midfielders and half back line ran circles around Michael Voss’ men. Sydney’s 23 players gained 6,158 metres compared to Calrton’s 5,621. \n\nThe Swans recorded a remarkable 17 running bounces on Friday night including nine alone from Chad Warner. There is no shame in Carlton being unable to contain the Swans’ run and carry with Sydney having the second most running bounces in the competition with 84. \n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__A concerning slow start __\n\nThe Swans found themselves 26 points behind midway through the first term and it could’ve been far worse if Harry McKay hadn’t missed from straight in front. Whilst the Swans went on to kick 13 of the 14 goals, John Longmire and the Swans should not sweep the slow start under the rug. \n\n*Charles Goodsir* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Josh Battle continues to shine in a contract year__\n\nSt Kilda will clearly be hoping to lock defender Josh Battle in long term as he remains a sturdy part of the defensive structures.\n\nBattle took 12 marks to go with 17 disposals in the loss to Freo, and is putting together an incredibly strong month. \n\nThings are going wrong for the Saints generally, but Battle has certainly carrying his load. \n\n### What they got wrong \n\n__St Kilda’s forward line is toothless__ \n\nMattaes Phillipou – four disposals, one goal – can’t find the footy.\n\nMax King – 10 disposals, goalless – is shockingly out of form. \n\nLiam Henry has been slow in re-integrating post injury, Lance Collard can’t be expected to find much of the footy and Anthony Caminiti comes in and kicks two goals, but likely makes way again for Tim Membrey.\n\nMitchito Owens kicks three, but only has eight disposals? How does that happen? \n\nSt Kilda needs to drastically adjust what they’re doing inside 50 and get these top-end players involved. \n\n*Nic Negrepontis* \n\n\n\n### What they got right \n\n__Harley Reid… again.__\n\nThe scariest part of Harley Reid’s ascendance is that this is likely the worst he is going to be in his career.\n\nThe young Eagle was absolutely electric against the Demons, dominating for stretches at a time and putting together a single-game highlight reel that would rival many players’ career highlights.\n\nReid has singlehandedly revitalised the entirety of West Coast, and the direst situation in the AFL has suddenly become full of optimism.\n\n__Jake Waterman is unstoppable__\n\nOn current form, there is arguably no better forward in the AFL than Jake Waterman.\n\nThat is not a sentence that many would have expected to exist coming into the season.\n\nAfter another bag of five against Melbourne, Waterman moves into equal-first in the Coleman race with 29 goals, with 23 of those coming in the last five games.\n\nWhile he is undoubtedly riding an unbelievable hot streak, the forward is playing a brand of footy that could conceivably span through the entire season, dominating aerial contests regardless of opponent.\n\nIt will be fascinating to see how Adam Simpson balances the forward line once Oscar Allen returns, as the right combination could suddenly make the Eagles’ attack look very scary.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Not slamming the door early__\n\nIt’s hard to nitpick a comprehensive victory over a premiership contender, other than the fact that it should have been even more comprehensive.\n\nThe Eagles led the Demons by 13 points going into the main break, despite having eight more scoring shots in the first half.\n\nWest Coast’s inaccuracy kept Melbourne in the game early on, and if they had kicked 10.5 rather than 7.8 in that opening half they could have completely slammed the door.\n\nOtherwise, it was a completely dominant display from the Eagles, with the 35-point margin arguably flattering the Demons.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n\n\n__Dominance everywhere but the scoreboard__\n\nIn almost every single facet of the game, this had the makings of a comfortable thrashing.\n\nThe Bulldogs easily came out on top in the clearance game, contested possessions and inside 50 count, all while forcing the Giants to play an unfamiliar, slow brand of football with a strong defensive structure.\n\nIt was the kind of performance that answered the bulk of concerns that had been levelled at the Bulldogs all season long and reaffirms their case for finals just weeks after they seemed out of reach.\n\nWith a tough stretch ahead of them, including games against the Swans and Magpies in back-to-back weeks, it’s time for the Bulldogs to prove that this display against GWS wasn’t an aberration.\n\n### What they got wrong\n\n__Kicking accuracy__\n\nEven considering the slippery conditions, this was one of the worst goalkicking performances of the season.\n\nThe Bulldogs racked up a monstrous 30 scoring shots, 17 more than the Giants, and only managed a 27-point victory.\n\nA scoreline of 8.22, highlighted by a goalless opening term is simply unacceptable for any AFL team, let alone a Dogs side that is now back in the thick of the finals hunt.\n\nExpect plenty of kicking drills to be on the agenda down at Whitten Oval this week.\n\n*Jack Makeham*\n\n[](https://www.sen.com.au/app/)","date":"2024-05-20T16:05+10:00","author":"SEN","seoTitle":"What they got right and wrong: Each club’s wins

in what they offer.”","content":"Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short have been added as travelling reserves to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad, although both won’t play unless there is an injury in the squad. \n\nWith Andrew McDonald and members of his squad set to fly out on Wednesday for the World Cup in the West Indies and the US, the Australian coach joined *SEN’s Whateley* to detail changes to the travelling party. \n\nIn-form opener Fraser-McGurk and BBL star Short have been added to the 15-man squad, with McDonald stating the batters bring different qualities. \n\n“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer. Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round… we have no fears he won’t be fit and fully available.”\n\nAustralia’s first of four group stage games comes against Oman in Barbados on June 6. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:27+10:00","author":"Seb

There's an offer from West Coast, but significantly less money - with a lot of game/award triggers - and only 2 years.

I would suggest to you that he’s pretty much doing the same things that he’s always done.\n\n“His view is this, and I agree with him, the same things that have always won a game of rugby league are the same things that are always going to win a game of rugby league.\n\n\n\n“You have to have the will, the intent, so his trainings were always pointed towards the resilience, the patterns and the mind numbingly repetitive stuff that you’ve got to be good at to win games of rugby league.\n\n“I think the reason for his sustained success over a long period of time across different clubs, I think what it is, is that he’s kept it simple, he hasn’t made rocket science out of being a rugby league coach.”\n\nWebcke also believed Bennett was not motivated by money to return to Souths, instead he said he was motivated by the challenge of turning the club around.\n\n“I think he’ll go back to Souths… people are going to say it’s a pay day and all that… but understand what drives the man… it’s because there’s a challenge,” he said.\n\n“He looks at Souths, looks at that club and thinks they’re a whole lot better than that… he will look at that and think I’m going to try and fix that and I’ll lay out money that he will fix it.”\n\nBennett has his Dolphins team in fourth on the NRL ladder with a clash against the Warriors in Auckland ahead on Sunday.\n\n","date":"2024-05-21T15:45+10:00","author":"Brayden Heslehurst","seoTitle":"Why Wayne Bennett \"will fix\" the Rabbitohs after confirming his return to the club","seoDescription":"The

playmaker Tom Dearden and Broncos star Ezra Mam.","content":"Queensland State of Origin legends are split on who they think should replace the injured Cameron Munster and wear the famous No.6 for the Maroons for the upcoming series.\n\nAfter Munster, who has played 18 games for Queensland, was ruled out for the entire 2024 series after reinjuring his groin during Magic Round, most believe his replacement is between North Queensland Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Brisbane Broncos star Ezra Mam.\n\nDearden has experience in the Origin arena after making his debut in the 2022 series decider when Munster was a late withdrawal with Covid, while the 21-year-old Mam has been a standout for the Broncos at five-eighth this season but is yet to make his debut at the representative level.\n\n“This is a difficult one isn’t it, well it’s a race of two between Ezra Mam and Tommy Dearden,” Cameron Smith said on SENQ Breakfast.\n\n\n\n“For me, I think particularly for a game one, I’d go with a guy that’s performed there before and that’s Tommy Dearden but there’s so many positives about Ezra Mam, don’t get me wrong.\n\n“I love the way he plays, I love the high energy, high involvement style of footy that he plays but Tommy Dearden, although his team is bumbling their way through the competition at the moment, I think he’s been a standout for the Cowboys.\n\n“He is one of the best competitors in this competition and I know Billy’s a huge fan of him.\n\n“It shows a couple of years ago in the decider, Billy had no issues throwing him in… That’d just the way I would go.”\n\n\n\nThe man, who famously created the iconic ‘Queenslander’ call, in Billy Moore agreed with the Melbourne Storm great.\n\n“To me I’d go Tom Dearden, I think he’s been groomed for the role, I think he marries up perfectly with DCE,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I love the way he plays so direct, he’s brave and the fact it means so much to him, when he was selected he started crying, that resonates with Billy Moore.\n\n“Ezra Mam, his time is coming, coming faster than we think. That’s the way I’d go, if they go the other way I wouldn’t have a problem with it either.”\n\nWhile former Maroons enforcer Shane Webcke believed Ezra Mam’s “x-factor” gave him the advantage when it came to selection.\n\n“When you lose a player like a Munster, you’re not replacing that… but what you would look for is a bloke who has a bit of x-factor about him… look at what he did in the grand final last year, that is what you look for,” he said on Mornings SENQ.\n\n“I don’t think he’s a risk, he’s going to deliver… he’s one of those blokes that players love playing with him and that’s also another really important factor when it comes to an Origin side.”\n\nWebcke also believed Mam’s partnership with Reece Walsh and Patrick Carrigan would also benefit him if he was selected.\n\nGame I will be played at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on June 5.\n\n","date":"2024-05-21T15:00+10:00","author":"Brayden Heslehurst","seoTitle":"\"Billy loves him\": Maroons legends split on Munster's replacement","seoDescription":"State of Origin legends believe it comes down to Cowboys playmaker Tom Dearden and Broncos star Ezra Mam.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6SKSbnR0LtpeAN0qkn1ENg","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2022-07-15T00:52:11.152Z","updatedAt":"2022-07-15T00:52:11.152Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Tom Dearden","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/6SKSbnR0LtpeAN0qkn1ENg/aca787e57d7a12e4c1c8773519197a9a/FXk79WfaMAAjAVJ.jpg","details":{"size":168189,"image":{"width":1024,"height":714}},"fileName":"FXk79WfaMAAjAVJ.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"61mBpqalwW8EO4g6yYoUuM","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2018-06-06T04:27:19.012Z","updatedAt":"2018-06-06T04:27:19.012Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Queensland","slug":"queensland"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD","NZ"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5YSiHt2lqiAgVA6JmMe6z8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T00:36:42.769Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T00:36:42.769Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Wayne Bennett signs three-year deal with South Sydney ","slug":"wayne-bennett-signs-three-year-deal-with-south-sydney","summary":"The Supercoach returns to Redfern to address some unfinished business.

away 22-20 winners in one of the biggest upsets of the season, ending a five-game winless streak that began with their draw against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in Round 6. \n\nThe Warriors were without regular starters Shaun Johnson, Tohu Harris, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Kurt Capewell, Luke Metcalf, Marata Niukore, and Rocco Berry forcing largely untested rookies to play bigger minutes than initially predicted. \n\nNew Zealand also lost Wayde Egan after 12 minutes to a Category 1 concussion, while Jackson Ford and Marcelo Montoya spent time off undergoing head injury assessments before passing and returning. \n\nSmith said the Warriors played extremely well to get the win considering their injury toll, and the atmosphere was enormous. \n\n“I think they played an extremely tough brand of footy and were very resilient,” Smith told *Breakfast with Vossy & Brandy*.\n\n“The Warriors had to fight hard. They were missing a few of their stars… and to get the win the way they did, they had to come from behind, and to win it by two points was fantastic. \n\n“My goodness, the noise from the crowd… that was as big as any finals game I’ve been at, getting close to sort of origin-like. It was loud, so that was a wonderful moment for the weekend. \n\nDespite their shock loss, Smith isn’t concerned about a drop in-form for the Penrith Panthers. \n\n“There are high standards around Penrith… most weeks we expect them to be faultless… at the end of the day, they’re human beings.

Fraser is an out-and-out opener and the way we’ve grown Matthew Short into the team is through the middle order and that spin (bowling) ability as well,” he said.\n\n\n\n“We feel like he’s a spinning all-rounder much like Glenn Maxwell if anything should move there, and obviously Jake Fraser-McGurk is an out-and-out top order player. \n\n“Both exciting, I think they both add a lot.” \n\nBut McDonald added Fraser-McGurk and Short would only feature in the June tournament should injuries hit his squad. \n\n[](https://open.spotify.com/show/7rrPOeWkoyQVU8O6XFpasy)\n\n“Those guys sit outside of the 15, the only way they can come onto the selection table is if there was to be an injury, we’ve got two options there depending on what we lose or what may unfold in terms of injuries,” McDonald continued. \n\n“We've also got some other options in Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett that are playing in the UK as well, so if we were to lose a bowler those guys are up and running in the UK… and they can come in, it’s only a short flight into the West Indies from England. \n\n“We’ve got a lot of people available if anything should move.” \n\nOne of those potential injuries, however, could come with veteran opener David Warner. \n\nThe T20 World Cup is likely to be the 37-year-old’s final major tournament and he was given the nod over Fraser-McGurk, who was overlooked despite a blistering run of form early in the current IPL season. \n\nWarner’s IPL form has been far less superior, and the swashbuckling left-hander has played just one innings since April 20 with hand and form issues. \n\nWhen releasing the initial squad, chairman of George Bailey indicated Warner’s condition would be monitored. \n\nBut McDonald has declared Warner a certain starter. \n\n[](https://www.youtube.com/@SEN_Cricket)\n\n“No, not at this stage,” he replied when asked if there were any injury concerns with Warner. \n\n“We believe he’s fully fit, everything he says is he’s fully fit, we know that he missed the last game for Delhi, clearly that was a selection mechanism there with the way they want to play late in the tournament, I think he played the second last round… we have no fears he won’t be fit and fully available.”\n\nAustralia’s first of four group stage games comes against Oman in Barbados on June 6. \n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:27+10:00","author":"Seb Mottram","seoTitle":"Why Fraser-McGurk and Short were added to Australia’s T20 World Cup squad","seoDescription":"“I think they’re slightly different in what they offer.”","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"70V42gS8r46NT2BWNiOwEq","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:00.291Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:44:00.291Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"BEST SPLIT IMG (USE THIS) (66)","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/70V42gS8r46NT2BWNiOwEq/d46583b8715e38a31d09c9f9474c552f/BEST_SPLIT_IMG__USE_THIS___66_.jpg","details":{"size":72913,"image":{"width":800,"height":600}},"fileName":"BEST SPLIT IMG (USE THIS) (66).jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5IXQXxtEbYoKg444mq0WeG","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:54.026Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:41:03.145Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Cricket","bgColour":"4fb952","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"cricket","primary":true}},"state":["VIC","SA","TAS","NSW","QLD","WA"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6gf7y5ugw0JURrfdeGvVBB","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T01:36:42.632Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:36:42.632Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"“They will have to tap some players on the shoulder\": Why Riccio expects a mass player exodus at Parramatta ","slug":"they-will-have-to-tap-some-players-on-the-shoulder-why-riccio-expects-a-mass","summary":"“There will absolutely be changes made to that roster whichever head coach comes into that club.\" ","content":"The Parramatta Eels’ fortunes have gone from bad to worse with *The Daily Telegraph’s* David Riccio forecasting a massive player cleanout following the sacking of coach Brad Arthur. \n\nThe Parramatta board confirmed on Monday that Arthur’s contract had been terminated after 10 full seasons and 264 games at the helm. After a 3-7 start to the season, the Eels board in their club statement said the team had stalled under Arthur’s coaching and a change in leadership was necessary. \n\nRiccio believes the removal of Arthur is just the tip of the iceberg for the problems that the club will face in the next 12-24 months. He believes the roster has been mismanaged across the past few seasons and is soon to reach a tipping point. \n\n“Your entire (coaching) career depends on how your team performs,” Riccio said on *SEN 1170 Breakfast*. \n\n“Just because you inherit players does not mean they are your type of players. \n\n“There will absolutely be changes made to that roster whichever head coach comes into that club. \n\n“Their salary cap is completely out of whack.

talent across the roster and that's where they are falling short. \n\n[](http://sen.com.au/app)\n\n“They have so much money in Mitch Moses, Dylan Brown, Clint Gutherson and their front rowers and it’s the reason why they had to go to England and get Joey Lussick to get a cheap dummy half. \n\n“Their outside backs are constantly stop cap solutions. \n\n\n\n“Zac Lomax, a huge marquee signing strains the salary cap even further. \n\n“They will have to tap some players on the shoulder to clean their salary cap up no matter what the next coach will want to do.” \n\nAssistant coach Trent Barrett will act as interim coach for the remainder of the Eels’ season. \n\nParramatta play the South Sydney Rabbitohs on Saturday night at Accor Stadium. \n\n\n","date":"2024-05-21T11:30+10:00","author":"Charles

with rival clubs from November 1st.","content":"Brisbane Broncos great Corey Parker fears the Broncos may lose Selwyn Cobbo to a rival club following his standout performance at fullback during Magic Round.\n\nDeputising for the injured Reece Walsh, Cobbo was dominant against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, running for 228 running metres and 11 tackle breaks on his way to a maximum six Dally M votes. \n\nCobbo can negotiate with rival clubs from November 1st, along with centre partner Kotoni Staggs, and Parker fears that having both off contract at the same time will cost the club one or both as they will be unable to match offers from other clubs. \n\n“A lesser club unlike a Broncos might dangle seven figures at him and say we want you to be our number one,” Parker told *SENQ Mornings*.\n\n“(Playing fullback has) highlighted him again in the shop… I don’t see how they could keep those players for the money that someone like a Cobbo would be offered on the open market because he can play fullback.\n\n“I know he wants to play centre and he’s very happy at the Broncos, but money does strange things.”\n\nParker drew comparisons between Cobbo and Sydney Roosters superstar Joey Manu, as the Broncos need to figure out how to get Cobbo more involved when he returns to the centres. \n\n“He’s Brisbane’s version of Joey Manu,” Parker said.\n\n“You give him an opportunity and his numbers are great, he’s high involvement, etc. He goes back to the centres, and it’s how do we get Cobbo… the ball again?\n\n“I just love the way that Selwyn approaches the game. He’s got this swagger about him. He’s got a carefree approach and demeanour but he’s hard to handle.”\n\nIn the centres this season, Cobbo has been averaging 139 run metres and 5.6 tackle breaks, far under his numbers at fullback.\n\nWhile there are no evident openings at fullback across the NRL, with every club seemingly having a settled player in the number one, a player of Cobbo’s calibre would be in high demand amongst teams struggling to make finals.\n\nReece Walsh is due back for Round 12 so Cobbo is likely to return to the centres against the Titans. \n\n","date":"2024-05-20T12:33+10:00","author":"Sam Kosack","seoTitle":"Parker fears Cobbo could be poached by \"lesser clubs\" after Magic Round brilliance ","seoDescription":"Cobbo is able to negotiate with rival clubs from November 1st.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4PhDdYVkd1ijjqUeGSJViP","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-20T02:24:30.347Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-20T02:24:30.347Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"selwyn cobbo fullback 2024","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/4PhDdYVkd1ijjqUeGSJViP/5bb05db3455199c80862cc3423c5b5ce/GettyImages-2153365793.jpg","details":{"size":3353383,"image":{"width":4294,"height":2862}},"fileName":"GettyImages-2153365793.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"18sNCeUmAus0EkGau0AwwE","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2018-04-20T01:33:35.971Z","updatedAt":"2018-04-20T01:33:35.971Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Brisbane Broncos","slug":"brisbane-broncos"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD","NZ"]}}],"state":"QLD","useFeaturedContentFallback":false}},"tasHomepage":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"60d4JA8xwhtKHKJbqRgDI8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2020-09-29T04:33:24.903Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T01:51:45.480Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1005,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"page--home"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Home -

Of course, I would.”","content":"Tim Paine has put his hat in the ring to coach the Adelaide Strikers in BBL|14 after Jason Gillespie resigned from the role last week.\n\nGillespie will step away from his position as Strikers and South Australia coach to take up the job in charge of the Pakistan Test team and while Ryan Harris has taken the state job on an interim basis, no update has been made on the BBL role.\n\nWith Gillespie to leave the role in June, Paine says he’d love to apply for the Strikers job if the SACA hires separate coaches for their state team and Big Bash franchise.\n\nPaine worked under Gillespie in BBL|13 with the Strikers in an assistant coaching role.\n\n“Would I like to coach the Adelaide Strikers? Of course, I would,” Paine said on *SEN Tassie Breakfast*.\n\n“But at the moment, they have no GM of cricket and a number of other roles that need to be filled before any of that happens.\n\n“Then they need to decide with the South Australian side and the Strikers, do you go down the same model they've just had of one coach? In that case, I cannot do it. \n\n“If they were to split the roles, I would be very interested, certainly in having a crack at getting that job.”\n\n\n\nWhile Paine has only been in the coaching ranks for six months, he says he’d be happy to apply for the job alongside other highly-touted coaches both for his ambitions to coach at the highest level and for his professional development. \n\n“But I've been coaching for about six months, and it is a big job,” Paine said.\n\n“I'd imagine a lot of experienced coaches would be interested in that job as well.\n\n“But I would love to go through the process because it would be a great learning curve for me as a professional coach - to go through some sort of process would be awesome for my development. \n\n“But like any coach, of course, you want to coach in the biggest league you can get in.”\n\nPaine also explained why he’d only chase the job if it were for the Strikers only, with the former keeper unwilling to move his family to South Australia full-time at this time.\n\nThe 39-year-old thinks that both models work where a governing body picks a coach to oversee both state and BBL programs as well as picking separate managers for the different sides.\n\n“I'm not at the stage where I will be moving my family full time to Adelaide or any other state,” Paine said.\n\n“The timing of that is not quite right. If you're looking at a Big Bash job and a state job (combined), that is enormous.\n\n“I think you can do both (have just a BBL coach or a coach that manages both sides) and that's not to sit on the fence.\n\n“You've seen certainly in Western Australia with the Justin Langer and now Adam Voges model, it can work. \n\n“You've also seen split ones work, but where it's split, there’s got to be some real trust and some real collaboration between the two programs. \n\n“I think you've just got to be really clear on what you expect from each coach, particularly the Big Bash coach.\n\n“If you are going to go down the state model of Western Australia, they need to be really clear on this is the job you're applying for.”\n\nPaine has only been retired from First Class cricket since March 2023. \n\n","date":"2024-04-08T13:06+10:00","author":"Lachlan Geleit","seoTitle":"Paine keen on vacant Adelaide Strikers head coaching gig after Gillespie resignation","seoDescription":"“Would I like to coach the Adelaide Strikers?

He enjoyed a good run there but hit the line a long way out, and one of the two horses that finished ahead of him has since won. This race doesn’t look as strong, and with a run under his belt, I expect him to be winning the opener.\n\n### Next best\n\n__Race 7, No.2 - Very Sewreel__\n\nGai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott look to win the Tasmanian Oaks for the second straight year after Soul Choice in 2023. Very Sewreel led them Strutt Stakes field up, was challenged a long way out, and boxed on to be beaten less than a length. Importantly, that was her first run at 2100m, so she should strip fitter here at a venue that tends to favour those on speed more than Hobart.\n\n### Best value\n\n__Race 4, No.12 - Shim__\n\nTape watchers will find Shim in the fourth race on Sunday as she’s had no luck in either of her two starts this preparation. Her racing pattern does lend itself to that, but having Newitt going aboard looks a huge positive for a horse who apprentices have largely ridden. Only a moderate 0-62, and given her recent SPs, there’s a big chance Shim is well over the odds.\n\n### Selections\n\nRace 1: 2-5-7-9 \nRace 2: 7-1-5-4 \nRace 3: 3-9-11-2 \nRace 4: 12-1-14-3 \nRace 5: 2-3-7-1 \nRace 6: 10-5-4-6 \nRace 7: 2-1-3-5 \nRace 8: 1-6-5-3 \nRace 9: 14-5-7-1\n\n____________________________________________________________________________\n\n*__Chances are you’re about to lose.__ For free and confidential support call 1800 858 858 or visit [gamblinghelponline.org.au](https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/)*","date":"2024-02-25T10:42+11:00","author":"Matt Reid","seoTitle":"Matt Reid’s best bets at Launceston on Tasmanian Oaks Day (25/02) ","seoDescription":"Tassie tips.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6LiTacJ3SrST0UBM3bsWNe","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-02-23T04:43:35.032Z","updatedAt":"2024-02-23T04:43:35.032Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Shim Launceston racing","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/6LiTacJ3SrST0UBM3bsWNe/33006d75089243dd99d671cf3efb1cba/Shim-800x600.jpg","details":{"size":93155,"image":{"width":800,"height":600}},"fileName":"Shim-800x600.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"3yXMkHnZtSiiUyiI6IY2c2","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:52.104Z","updatedAt":"2021-06-18T08:06:13.107Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":5,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Horse Racing","bgColour":"6833b9","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"horse-racing","primary":true}},"state":["NZ","TRACK","QLD","NSW","TAS","WA","SA","VIC"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4KDTnnoG0XcrXiqRX9o7LU","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-02-02T21:50:51.483Z","updatedAt":"2024-02-02T22:28:06.607Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":4,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Socceroos crash out of Asian Cup with quarter final loss to South Korea","slug":"socceroos-crash-out-of-asia-cup-with-quarter-final-loss-to-south-korea","summary":"The Socceroos are out.","content":"The Socceroos have crashed out of the Asian Cup with another quarter finals departure in losing 2-1 to South Korea at the same stage of the tournament they faltered in back in 2019\n\nIn a different performance to past games, Australia was on the back foot for much of the contest but inspired in attack and had the better of the chances throughout the clash.\n\nCraig Goodwin put the Australians up in the 42nd minute, a lead that would then hold until deep into regular time.\n\nBut defender Lewis Miller – who came on in the 73rd minute – would go on to concede a penalty to Tottenham star Son Heung-min in the dying stages before another foul saw a South Korean free kick lead to another score in extra time.\n\nAustralia had good looks through Mitch Duke and Martin Boyle in the second half that would go to waste, with the missed opportunities – as they so often do – coming back to bite.\n\nWhile the attacking and creative flair Australia had been lacking throughout the tournament was back, the finishing touch was not for Graham Arnold’s men.\n\n“We were up 1-0,” Arnold said post-match. \n\n“We had chances (for) 2-0, 3-0.

City’s operation. \n\nBerrada, regarded as one of the best backend operators and executives in sport, will join a new-look United as their new chief executive officer with new minority shareholder, Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team, driving the move. \n\nThe announcement sent shockwaves throughout the Premier League with many seeing this signing as a massive positive for Ratcliffe and under-fire manager Erik ten Hag.\n\nBut the impact this could have on Pep Guardiola's City is huge.\n\nBerrada has been instrumental to the success of City, his wealth of football and commercial expertise is one of the main reasons City has become one of the biggest powerhouses in sport both on and off the pitch.\n\nDavid Ornstein, who broke the news for *The Athletic*, says this signing is a poaching of the highest order and has sent shockwaves throughout the industry.\n\n“United’s search for a new CEO isn’t fresh or a surprise, however the candidate that they decided upon certainly is,” Ornstein told *The Athletic Football Podcast*.\n\n“It feels to me from all the calls and checks that we’ve made that this particular pursuit of Berrada was very recent and they did it under the radar so it appears to be a very discreet, quick and slick operation which you don’t normally associate with Manchester United under the Glazer regime but perhaps that’s because it was driven by INEOS.\n\n“The news of the appointment has really sent shockwaves through the industry, Omar Berrada is very highly regarded throughout the game and was so fundamental and to the core of the City setup.\n\n\n\n“He moved from Barcelona to City in 2011 and he’s worked his way through various positions at City within the City Football Group as a wider multi-club model from the business side to the football side.\n\n“Now he’s doing the deals at City alongside Txiki Begiristain who is really the football expert with Omar Berrada focusing on the numbers, finances, salaries and commissions, and is said to be very sharp on that but he also takes a big role on the academy side and women’s football.\n\n“The feedback we’ve had on him is overwhelmingly positive.”\n\nAs for when Berrada will take control at United, Ornstein expects him to start his role in the summer in time for the new Premier League season.\n\n“He will take executive leadership on business and football,” Ornstein added.\n\n“He will have a seat on the board of directors where he’ll report into ownership, and we suspect he will build a team around him.\n\n“There’s no anticipation that he’ll start immediately, it’s looking more likely in the summer, but this seems to be a poaching of the highest order and one because of the proximity of the clubs that few, if any of us saw coming.”\n\nUnited great Rio Ferdinand believes this appointment could be one of United's greatest signings in the winter transfer window and that the announcement left many City insiders shocked.\n\n“This could potentially be one of our best January signings,” Ferdinand said on his podcast *FIVE*.\n\n“I spoke to some guys who are at City and they can't believe that we've got him.\n\n“They think like 'wow, he's done so much in the game at different levels and he's been successful and it's a really good sharp signing for us'.”\n\nCity is yet to announce a replacement for the outgoing Berrada.","date":"2024-01-24T09:15+11:00","author":"Hugh Fitzpatrick

Just fans having fun, enjoying themselves, sharing some pre-match laughs, and getting ready to walk just five minutes to the gates of Suncorp Stadium.\n\n### 2.\tSUNCORP STADIUM \nHands down, the best sporting venue in the Southern Hemisphere. Sure, we can argue all day about grounds like the MCG or the Sydney Football Stadium, but none of them have the atmosphere and feel of Suncorp.\n\n50,000+ people packed into a rectangular ground where you’re basically on top of the field makes for a supreme cauldron. The noise is deafening, as we found out walking up the turnstiles during the Raiders v Bulldogs match on the opening day. \n\nEvery moment of the match is amplified by the sound the venue creates, and that’s before we talk about the flawless logistics of the place. Not once did we see or encounter queues, or have any problem getting out of the stadium once the final whistle went.\n\nIn fact, it’s quite surreal seeing how quickly Suncorp empties out once the evening is finished. It is a world-class venue, perfectly designed for rugby league with a rich history to match.\n\n### 3.\tTHE JERSEYS \nIf you’re a bit of a rugby league nuffie, you will revel in the memories that come flooding back as you walk around Brisbane for Magic Round weekend.\n\nEvery jersey from past and present is on display as fans proudly parade the streets wearing Raiders and Broncos jerseys from the 90s, Balmain Tigers kits from the 80s, and Bulldogs jerseys from the 70s, and even the never-forgotten North Sydney Bears.\n\nNot only does it build the vibe and the atmosphere around rugby league, they become great conversation starters as you bump into random people on the street. Ironically, despite supporting different teams, fans are united by their admiration for an old piece of kit and it lets you know rugby league is well in truly in town.\n\n### 4.\tEX-PLAYERS \nRugby union, listen up! Part of what makes Magic Round a mecca for rugby league fans, is the fact you can be walking down Caxton Street, or going to your seat at Suncorp, and bump into legends of the game.\n\nCam Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Freddy Fittler, Blake Ayshford, Gorden Tallis - these guys are walking around with the fans getting pictures, sharing laughs, maybe a bit of NSW v QLD banter, and enjoying the footy alongside everyone else.\n\nIt would be very easy for them to stick to their corporate boxes away from everyone and slip in and out of the venue, but no. The NRL makes sure they are on proud display for everyone to see.\n\nHead to The Lord Alfred before a game and Cam Smith will be inside having beers, go to the Caxton Hotel and Matty Johns will be the life of the party, and if you’re a Warriors fan, you can find yourself walking up to Suncorp alongside Kevin Campion or Mark Tookey.\n\n### 5.\tTHE LIVE SHOWS \nIf you’re a fan of rugby league podcasts like The Levels Network, The Bye Round, Hello Sport, or Matty Johns, Magic Round is the perfect opportunity to see your favourite hosts in action.\n\nAlmost every major rugby league podcast had some sort of show (or shows) across the weekend, whether it be at the pubs, outside Suncorp, or inside the stadium. These shows are interactive, they’re loud, they’re engaging, and they include everyone - not just the guests and the stars of the game, but the fans and kids too.\n\nI can’t tell you how many people have been raving to me about catching their favourite shows live in the flesh and getting photos afterwards - it’s just another way the NRL promote their game so well.\n\n\n\n### 6.\tFAN ENGAGEMENT \nWe’ve long said that sport needs to make sure it’s more than just the 80 minutes on the paddock, and most of the above plays into this next point. No one does it quite like the NRL and Magic Round when it comes to pulling the fans into the occasion.\n\nWe’ve mentioned Caxton Street, lined with events and great venues to get the Magic Round buzz, but it includes a whole lot more - closed for the entire weekend to car traffic, the road is full with games to play for prizes, DJs, food trucks, and fan activations.\n\nIf you’re with kids and not keen on wading through the pub pandemonium, they’ll have a blast trying to win a jersey, an NRL ball, or a free Magic Round hat.\n\nAs you arrive at Suncorp, it gets even better. There are numerous areas outside to sit and enjoy the Brisbane sun, watch the action on the big screen, grab a bite or a drink, and once again win some awesome prizes.\n\nOnce you enter, the buzz of the NRL hits you squarely in the nostrils - and it’s the little things that make it so much fun. The 'Faces of Magic Round' on the big screen, panning through the crowd with hilarious filters get fans in fits of laughter.\n\nThere was the promotion by Westpac where any game ball that lands in the crowd is allowed to be kept, where normally they have to be returned to the officials. And the halftime fireworks, pyrotechnics, live performances, and shirt cannons mean there isn’t a single moment of the weekend where you’re not having the time of your life.\n\n### 7.\tTHE RUGBY LEAGUE \nNeedless to say, the action in the middle of the Suncorp turf plays a supplementary role to all of the above. However, Magic Round never fails to deliver on some scintillating rugby league.\n\nOn the whole, it’s a pretty easy concept - get all of the NRL clubs to play at one venue over the course of the weekend. Non-stop action, almost no time between games, and fans get their money’s worth every step of the way.\n\nBut it’s not like a Nines tournament, or Rugby Sevens, this is right in the middle of the NRL season where games genuinely mean as much as the week before, or the week after. As a result, there is no gimmicky feeling to the action on the field.\n\nYou also get a chance to see all the best players in the game, in the space of three days. Granted, this year had its fair share of injuries, but being able to see every top-level player go toe-to-toe for three days straight is something you’d never be able to do without a Magic Round. The first six games of Magic Round had winning margins of four, one, four, eight, six, and two - meaning all but the final two matches came down to the wire, giving the fans a reason to stay in their seat for the entire 80 minutes.\n\nTotal of deal around $2.7 million.
— Ryan Daniels (@FootyRhino) May 20, 2024
There's an offer from West Coast, but significantly less money - with a lot of game/award triggers - and only 2 years.
Lot to weight up for Yeo. Still a good chance he remains at Eagles beyond 2024, but no certainty.
\n\n### 8.\tCROWDS AND STADIUM SECURITY \nI’m yet to hear of any major problems or issues within the Suncorp crowd over Magic Round. With a party atmosphere flying around the weekend, it would make sense for things to get a little out of control at times. But it never came to fruition from what I saw, and instead you had a whole bunch of fans supporting their teams and getting right into the action while enjoying themselves.\n\nClose to 150,000 people attended the event across the three days, averaging 50,000 - meaning the NRL was just 2,500 people shy each day of a complete sellout.\n\nHOW GOOD!@NZWarriors CEO Cameron George crashes the SENZ commentary box at Magic Round 😆#NRLWarriorsPanthers pic.twitter.com/nwqndKIKpp
— SENZ (@SENZ_Radio) May 19, 2024
\n\nThe atmosphere was also aided by stadium security at Suncorp, which is unlike anything I’ve experienced in New Zealand.\n\nNot only is entry and exit into the stadium seamless, but the mandate to let fans enjoy themselves meant no one was being kicked out for having an oversized flag or carrying one too many drinks. No one was blocked from walking to different areas of the stadium, and guess what? Not a single streaker or pitch invader across the entire weekend. \n\n### 9.\tBRISBANE \nThe NRL has got the number one thing right with Magic Round – location. It’s the problem that plagues so many sports whenever they try to put something different on during their seasons.\n\nBrisbane really is a sporting oasis in Australia - they are rabidly passionate about their sport, more so than almost anywhere else in the world I’ve been to.\n\nIt’s the Queensland parochialism that shines through, but it’s also the way they get behind their codes. It’s not just about showing up, it’s about being loud and fanatical and immersing yourself in the occasion.\n\nBrisbane is an amazing city, highlighted with areas like the South Bank, West End, Fortitude Valley, and elevated with a body of water that runs right through the heart of the CBD.\n\nThe weather put on non-stop sun the entire weekend, with temperatures at a perfect 21 degrees. And the best part? If you want to extend the weekend out and make the most of the time off, the Sunshine and Gold Coasts are just short drives away. \n\n### 10.\tTHE MOMENTS\nLast but not least, when it comes down to brass tacks, Magic Round sets the stage for the biggest moments of all.\n\nWhether it was a last-minute field goal for Brisbane to get up over Manly, the Sharks and Roosters going tit for tat as the two in-form teams of the competition, or of course the Warriors tipping up the Panthers for an historic win, Magic Round gives the fans just that – a little bit of magic.\n\nAttendance across the three days of #NRLMagicRound = 149,196 🥳

Much love to Brisbane for your hospitality and putting on such an incredible event for rugby league fans!
\n\nSure, that happens week in week out in the NRL, but as a fan sitting at Suncorp, getting to witness those moments game after game in between all of the partying and festivities, those are the memories you’ll keep with you forever as you fly back home to New Zealand bleary-eyed and in need of a good sleep. It makes the weekend worth it and has you craving it all again in twelve months time.\n\nIf you’re an NRL fan, and you haven’t got Magic Round on your bucket list, get out the pen and paper immediately. Grab a group of mates, start saving up the party funds, book in your flights and accommodation as soon as the schedule is announced, and get yourself over to Brisbane in 2025. You won’t regret it.\n\n \n","date":"2024-05-21T14:00+12:00","author":"Sam Hewat","seoTitle":"Why NRL Magic Round should be on your sporting bucket list for 2025","seoDescription":"Here are 10 reasons why the weekend in Brisbane is everything an NRL fan could hope for.","seoKeywords":"SENZ","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"2JPkEj4SFzM8yLuqMwtm2e","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2024-05-21T02:21:52.085Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T02:21:52.085Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Warriors fans at NRL Magic Round 2024","description":"","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/2JPkEj4SFzM8yLuqMwtm2e/0caa15a61d5e63b6d654f5d2afd7febd/GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","details":{"size":10531293,"image":{"width":8116,"height":5372}},"fileName":"GettyImages-2153611828.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"6SF7h865EoQoIM4VQh4j5M","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","updatedAt":"2021-09-06T00:19:31.462Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"club"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"New Zealand Warriors","slug":"new-zealand-warriors"}}],"state":["NZ","QLD","NSW"]}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4QVUM1UYmUBLLzIgaW0ZgF","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T03:03:24.259Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T03:03:24.259Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Smith praises injury-hit Warriors after big upset over Penrith ","slug":"smith-praises-injury-hit-warriors-after-big-upset-over-penrith","summary":"The Warriors were without a number of their regular starters.","content":"NRL great Cameron Smith has applauded the New Zealand Warriors following their shock victory over the Penrith Panthers at Magic Round yesterday.\n\nThe injury-hit Warriors walked away 22-20 winners in one of the biggest upsets of the season, ending a five-game winless streak that began with their draw against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in Round 6. \n\nThe Warriors were without regular starters Shaun Johnson, Tohu Harris, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Kurt Capewell, Luke Metcalf, Marata Niukore, and Rocco Berry forcing largely untested rookies to play bigger minutes than initially predicted. \n\nNew Zealand also lost Wayde Egan after 12 minutes to a Category 1 concussion, while Jackson Ford and Marcelo Montoya spent time off undergoing head injury assessments before passing and returning. \n\nSmith said the Warriors played extremely well to get the win considering their injury toll, and the atmosphere was enormous. \n\n“I think they played an extremely tough brand of footy and were very resilient,” Smith told *Breakfast with Vossy & Brandy*.\n\n“The Warriors had to fight hard. They were missing a few of their stars… and to get the win the way they did, they had to come from behind, and to win it by two points was fantastic. \n\n“My goodness, the noise from the crowd… that was as big as any finals game I’ve been at, getting close to sort of origin-like. It was loud, so that was a wonderful moment for the weekend. \n\nDespite their shock loss, Smith isn’t concerned about a drop in-form for the Penrith Panthers. \n\n“There are high standards around Penrith… most weeks we expect them to be faultless… at the end of the day, they’re human beings.

Get him to the centre position.”\n\nSmith, however, was unsure how moving Mitchell from fullback would realistically pan out at the Rabbitohs.\n\n“I’m not sure if you (South Sydney) have got a fullback. We know Jye Gray is still injured,” Smith said.\n\n“And then you think about how that plays out in reality. Ben Hornby, coaching his fourth game, walks up to Latrell and goes ‘Hey, Latrell I’m going to put you in the centres’. Good luck with that one.”\n\nFollowing injuries to Tom Trbojevic, Mitchell is in contention for a NSW Origin centre spot based off his previous performances in the role. However, he’s considered unlikely given there is plenty of competition from other players for the spot including Stephen Crichton, Bradman Best, and Jesse Ramien. \n\nMitchell and the Rabbitohs will this week be hunting for their second win of the season against fellow battlers the Parramatta Eels at Accor Stadium, who are coming off a big loss to the Melbourne Storm at Magic Round. \n\n","date":"2024-05-20T14:08+10:00","author":"Sam Kosack","seoTitle":"\"Physically, he is incapable\": Should the Rabbitohs move Latrell Mitchell from fullback?","seoDescription":"Jimmy Smith believes the Rabbitohs need to move Mitchell to centre.","seoKeywords":"SEN","feature":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"5vAnOuHhh9mg4EqcFIxCVl","type":"Asset","createdAt":"2023-08-24T04:24:35.106Z","updatedAt":"2023-08-24T04:24:35.106Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Latrell Mitchell","file":{"url":"//images.ctfassets.net/u8w3l566ay8a/5vAnOuHhh9mg4EqcFIxCVl/11d91fe5d5753a00c32b8d17f757fd2a/GettyImages-1491457738.jpg","details":{"size":677806,"image":{"width":2252,"height":1501}},"fileName":"GettyImages-1491457738.jpg","contentType":"image/jpeg"}}},"primaryTag":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"r9zeAW491uSAM0ImIMAk8","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.712Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-15T06:43:20.183Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":3,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"NRL","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"nrl","primary":true}},"secondaryTags":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"4GDE2aZoGsUGMkuM8Qu4qw","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2016-08-18T13:17:50.628Z","updatedAt":"2016-09-08T23:52:03.948Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Rugby League","bgColour":"795547","fontColour":"ffffff","slug":"rugby-league"}},{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"2pi5fwLuWk0a0oWsSQsu4W","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2018-10-25T07:13:06.774Z","updatedAt":"2023-07-23T02:53:19.280Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":2,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"tag"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"South Sydney Rabbitohs ","slug":"south-sydney"}}],"state":["VIC","SA","WA","TAS","NSW","QLD","NZ"]}}],"state":"NZ","useFeaturedContentFallback":false}},"trackHomepage":{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"1EaWCt2NqZtJjA3GYsUBS5","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2020-09-29T04:39:14.431Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T03:17:21.051Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":5852,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"page--home"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"Home - TRACK ","seoTitle":"SEN - Australia's Home of Horse Racing","seoDescription":"SEN Track is the new sound of racing, chasing and pacing and the home of horse racing, greyhound racing and harness racing for content, news, tips and best bets.","seoKeywords":"1116;SEN;Melbourne;Radio;Station;Sport;News;Talk;AFL;Footy;sports radio station;Sports Radio;Sport Radio Melbourne;Sport Melbourne","slug":"track","featuredContent":[{"metadata":{"tags":[]},"sys":{"space":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"Space","id":"u8w3l566ay8a"}},"id":"7s49b9mGsuEYwWDoY6iSIn","type":"Entry","createdAt":"2024-05-21T03:15:25.898Z","updatedAt":"2024-05-21T03:15:25.898Z","environment":{"sys":{"id":"master","type":"Link","linkType":"Environment"}},"revision":1,"contentType":{"sys":{"type":"Link","linkType":"ContentType","id":"blogPost"}},"locale":"en-AU"},"fields":{"title":"“On a good track it wins”: Cam Luke's J.J.

Double is around $3.7 with *Bet365*.\n\n__Terang (trots)__ \nRace 1, No.5 - __Wichita Dance__ \n\nTerang Trots we will play the 5 in the first - __Wichita Dance__ - for Tina Ridis who should take this son of A Rocknroll Dance to the front and be mighty hard to beat. $2.7 with *Bet365*.\n\n\n\n_________________________________________________________________________________\n\n*__Imagine what you could be buying instead.__ For free and confidential support call 1800 858 858 or visit [gamblinghelponline.org.au](https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/)*","date":"2024-05-21T11:00+10:00","author":"SENTrack","seoTitle":"Gareth Hall’s Giddy Up Plays of the Day - Tuesday (21/05)","seoDescription":"The Tuesday plays.

\n\n“There’s a horse that won on Saturday night at Newbury, the horse’s name is Middle Earth,” Luke said on *SEN*. \n\n“It won over 2400 metres, it’s now on its way to Australia. Ciaron Maher is going to train it. \n\n“It’s in the Melbourne Cup market and if you had of shopped around before last night’s win, you could have got bigger than what it currently is… it’s $18 now, it’s a little unders. \n\n“But based on how he ran last night, I think he’ll win the Caulfield Cup. Not to say he can’t run a really nice Melbourne Cup, but he’s $34 for the Caulfield Cup. \n\n“Just have a little play… maybe the Melbourne Cup is the way he’ll go… but if he runs in the Caulfield Cup, he won’t start $34, I can tell you that much.” \n\nMiddle Earth’s ownership believe their gelding is better on top of the ground, conditions he’s likely to strike in Melbourne in spring. \n\nQatar Bloodstock’s David Redvers said after the race that Middle Earth will likely need head to the Group 2 Hardwick Stakes on the final day of the Royal Ascot carnival. \n\n“The long-term plan is the Melbourne Cup,” he confirmed. \n\n“Well done to Ciaron and team, Will Bourne, we are very excited to be on that journey.”\n\n\n\n_________________________________________________________________________________\n\n*__Imagine what you could be buying instead.__ For free and confidential support call 1800 858 858
