A No.1 pick arrived on the scene, a draw was comical, a match-winning goal after the siren stunned onlookers, and the treatment of Jack Ginnivan remains a talking point. | OPINION by Peter Ryan petryan
Western Bulldogs forward Jamarra Ugle-Hagan played a few quarters of an AFL practice match and a few quarters of a VFL practice match against Essendon at “The Hangar” in February.
Only Geelong pair Tom Hawkins and Jeremy Cameron, and Carlton’s Harry McKay, had kicked more goals after 17 games, with Cameron’s tally of 30 the highest of that trio. They played at a high level against the Bulldogs but they have now won just three of their past eight matches, with a loss to Fremantle putting them on the cusp of missing out on the top four.They lost control of the game’s tempo with a growing sense that their scoring power comes from centre clearances, with 40 per cent of their goals against the Bulldogs via that method.
Demons would be forgiven for thinking the rules and some luck are conspiring against their smart, patient list build.Collingwood’s Jamie Elliott, 148 games into his career, kicked the matchwinning goal after the siren to put Collingwood into the top four.
