Northern Bullants v Casey Scorpions

Featured Replies

No, not yet. They are early stages in their development. I would expect they will play in a number of positions just like nearly every bloke who has come through the VFL to AFL.

And could you please use caps, commas and tidy up your grammar FFS. I promised I'd never rip someone on this but it does my head in. Are you Wayne Brittain??

grammar i can understand sometimes, but caps and commas? sheeesh!

 

OK we'll make it easier to undertsand. Cook & Fitz will neeed to develop their games before either can hold down a key position and that's not going to be this year by which time Fev will be gone.

If you don't think there is something for a young forward to learn from playing with Fev you haven't been paying attention.

Agreed. Put em either side of the Fev and tell em to "Watch and learn".

As long as they're only learning what the Fev's doin ON the field and not off it! :rolleyes:

Have to agree to disagree, I think havin Fev there will only stunt there growth and exposure to the big boys

I just think being the main target and getting the ball kicked to you more often will help than sitting next to Fev and learning

Would love a report on the other Dees playing

If we didn't have anyone else to kick goals I'd say there might be some merit in getting Fev in order to give Casey some structure and make it easier for our developing forwards, but we're going to have guys like Newton, Martin, Petterd, Bate, Dunn and even Spencer up forward in addition to Howe, Cook, Fitz, etc.

As a side issue and I'm not sure if this has been picked up before or commented on, but on the Casey list is one Ryan Pendlebury. Yes, he is the brother of Scott. A mate of mine met him by chance a few days back and it turns out the Pendlebury's were (are??) Dees supporters.

If Ryan can turn out to be half as good as his brother, I trust the MFC keep a close eye on him.

Bio data as follows:

Height: 189cmWeight: 85kg

DOB: 02/08/92

Club: Gippsland Power (Vic)

Bio: A strong midfielder who is the brother of Collingwood's Scott Pendlebury. Has great skills and showed them off while running around with TAC Cup Gippsland Power in 2010.

In his own words

What type of player are you?

I can win my own ball, play as a big or a small and I have a good left-foot kick.

Which AFL player do you feel you resemble and why?

Scott Pendlebury, my brother. I'm the same sort of player and I watch him every week and base my game around what he does.

What are your strengths as a footballer?

Good kick, good decision maker, clean hands, good vision and awareness.

What parts of your game would you like to improve?

To become more consistent and turn my bad games into average games. I also want to improve my kicking on my opposite foot.

x 2.

And after seeing Fevola's efforts in the easy win over Frankston, I would have thought there is also alot not to learn from Fevola on the ground.

    It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
