My favourite piece of play from the weekends game against Richmond was this:

THIRD QUARTER

After Joel MacDonald went down in the third quarter he got back up gingerly, received a handball and gave it straight back and help start a most memorable piece of play from what I think was a stoppage (throw in or ball up) inside Richmond's forward 50, scoreboard pocket. It involved from memory (in no particular order) MacDonald, McKenzie, Davey, Junior, Jones, Bruce who took a bounce kicked out to a strong lead from Sylvia who timed the lead and marked in full flight. Sylvia took a bounce and as he entered 50 looked as though he was going to kick for goal, but spotted Wonaeamirri up in the goal square (good accurate low kick too) unattended, who then kicked the goal.

The movement of the ball was both exquisite and fast. It left Richmond in their wake.

Another glimpse of the future.

Any other favourite plays from the Richmond game ?

It was a fantastic piece of play!

We went coast to coast many times. The commentary was great as well as they were left gobsmacjed at how quick the ball was moved and the precision of the movement.

Not specifically one play but ithought bartrams aggressive tackles were fantastic.

Bennels dash through the middle to set up jurrahs last goal was pretty damn good as well

Gutsy effort from JoelMac. Took the hard hit and carried on. Came back on after he had recovered.

Good effort HT. Good passage of play.

I did like Dunn's goal over his shoulder. He won the ball from the contest and under pressure on the boundary line had the resolve and the cool to use it purposefully. A definite step up.

Bail's gather of a dropped ball, the spin, the run forward, and the beautiful chipped pass to Watts....it will give me something to remember when everybody gets their wish and he is dropped this week to make room for whoever

That was my favourite piece of play too, and I'll enjoy watching him repeat those movements when he doesn't get dropped this week! demon_cool.gif

I can't see Bail getting dropped. I did like the spin and confidence in hitting up Jack.

How was McAvaney's commentary....sign him up Jimmy.

Observation: Dunn's set shot on the three quarter time siren, anyone notice "Dunny's arc?" (as opposed to Buddy's arc)

Hard to go past Bail's blind spin but the replay is on Foxtel at 4:30 and I remember JW doing one or two really nice switches of play that set up goals, I'll get back on that after another watch.

Can't go past that. Brilliant. What about Sylvia's pace? He took off like a rocket.

There was also a nice passage from the kick-in, all the way for a Dunn goal.

Also Jones and Rivers getting down low and hard, getting smashed, earning the free, getting up like it was nothin'.

We've been very hard at it of late.

Watts took a mark between the centre and the 50 arc ... kicked to Bruce who had run alone into space out wide ... who then weighted a perfect pass to Green on a fast lead. Green goaled from outside 50, straight over the goal umpire's head.

Hang on ... another perfectly weighted kick by Bruce!

Tears may well have been held back when I distinctly observed Watts spot up Jurrah twice with some accurate kicks i50. Hint of synergy coming to fruition here between two very important players with respect to our forward structure. :)

I noticed this ark mostly when he kicked the winning goal against the lions. Was hoping that he would kick it before the Soren went as it looks as if he does have a significant ark when he goes for the long bombs. Maybe we should seek clarification from the umps and make it knownnthat this is his normal ark before it costs us a goal after the siren.

Oh yes. 1st quarter I think.

Where Garland kicked it into space from the kickout and Jones met it. Was like threading the eye of the needle. Terrific zone busting play this one. Can't recall who kicked the goal though. But it went coast to coast.

edit: Looked at analyser - Jones then found Wonaeamirri on the wing who found Bennell at Half forward...it ends up with Dunn at the point of goal square.

I've missed a lot of our footy this year, but that was the goal of the year that I've seen us drill.

I've noticed that in the last month or so, we've won games but not had the highlights that other teams have enjoyed. Which is neither here nor there, of course.

Other highlights:

Bail's 360 and run full tilt drill it to Watts who goals.

Dunn's 55-60 metre goal that was never going to miss, halfway up the goal posts. He never looked like passing it off. Looked every bit the mature 100-game CHF for about a minute there.

Dunn's non-goal. And Watts goal that wasn't paid.

PJ not being awarded an obvious mark, then getting up after the spoil and slamming a Tiger into the turf.

Just watched the replay on fox and swear that both the Johnson non-mark and watts non-goal were not shown. Did anyone else watch the 4.30 replay and notice this or did I have two lapses in concentration?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
