lost me when you said morton has poor foot skills.

good luck with this thread.

Why? Do you think he has good foot skills? Ha! Ha!

The only one he could hit on the chest would be Russell Robertson. And thats with Robbo standing on someones head. 1st year player and he will improve though. I do like him as a player. Hopefully next season he can hit most on the chest. But this season, was too shabby!

    I agree with mono 100%. We absolutely need players that have mental and physical toughness and skills.

    I would also suggest that to say that our current crop have poor skills is too simplistic a view to take. There are number of reasons for skill error. Lack of confidence would be number 1 on the list. When you lose confidence you grub kicks, kick them high, choose the wrong option, etc etc. This is like a cancer which spreads thru the side, especially a young side.

    Pressure on the ball carrier due to a lack of support, drilling and communication are another reason for poor skills. A lack of forward targets and having no confidence in your forward line are another reason.

    When confidence grows players support each other, they shepherd, they lead because they believe they can win the footy, they drill thier passes because they believe inthe bloke they are kicking too, they demand the footy because they want to get involved.

    What we need most is leadership. Players and coaches who can convince our young blokes that they belong in the AFL. I would like to see Miller and Mclean take the reins on the field.

    20/20 hindsight is a great thing, I know, but read this, especially the end paragraphs.

    I believe John Turnbull is part of MFC recruiting now. <_<

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
