LEADING FROM THE FRONT

Recommended Posts

Why are you commenting about his handballing and his style of kicking.

I will repeat myself as you obviously have trouble reading.

When it comes to passing the ball by foot he is excellent. I don't care how he drops the ball as long

as he hits his target. Stats back me up.

I say again he is bad when shooting for goal and his handballs

are questionable at times.

Is that clear enough

if you mean he is good at short kicking to a loose player then you are probably right.

if you want to make that kicks over 35 meters or kicks to contested situations i disagree.

i wouldn't want bruce kicking into the forward 50. he cannot kick it low and fast enough for good delivery and he does not have the ability to direct to advantage on purpose.

as i said before, he drops the ball too high. not a big issue when you are kicking to a loose player who can move 5-10 m in any direction to recieve the ball, but he cannot pinpoint it the way davey can.

he is not an excellent kick.

Can't agree with that. Bruce's kicking is as far removed from 'excellent' as I can think of. It's highly erratic and doesn't cover a lot of distance. Can't see how any of that leads to it being 'excellent'.

Agree on that. It seems to happen every week, people reckoning there's "going to be a late change" when there's no evidence at all to support it. I don't get it, it doesn't make sense. Teams do not just make late changes willy nilly. My money's on the team lining up as named. Again.

Not to rub it in or anything, but you should know by now that I'm always right :)

it wasn't a late change for the sake of a late change though jaded it was an injury.

and miracle, i paid special attention to bruces field kicking last night. and it still isn't excellent. i saw him fluff 2 completely and no other kicks were genuinely excellent kicks, they were just kicks to a player in the loose. he doesn't hit it hard and flat like her would if he was an excellent kick, he hits it up and under.

* i want to note that i am not bagging bruce here, i think he played a really good game last night, i am simply commenting on whether he is an excellent kick*

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
