I felt this couldn't be admired enough...

Would have to be MOTY, wouldn't it?

On another note, I was listening to MMM on the way home, and a caller mentioned that if all of our players played the game like Petterd or McKenzie, then we'd be so much better, and unfortunately I can't disagree. It's good to see Petterd's locked himself in our best 22, because he consistently takes the game on, he keeps presenting and he just doesn't stop, and same with Jordie. Both of them are going to be guns, and it'll be because of this. They're easily in the best tonight, and at least there's some good signs to come out of this game.

That's why we go to the game every week, no matter where it's played or who we're playing. I believe Ricky has trumped LJ's MOTY 2010 in that he performed his trick in front of his own cheersquad....maximum applause & plaudits from those close by. (LJ took his mark up the other end of the ground away from Cheersquad...for anyone who wasn't there). Hey Ricky, You Are So Fine!

For me it is MOTY at the moment, but everyone seems love Nic Nat so much, that I can't see it going anywhere else. I love Ricky though. Beautiful effort today, and one of few.

P.S. Thanks for putting that shot up :)

Wish Liam and Petterd would take MOTY whilst wearing our real jumper.

Alot of people rated Krakours from the weekend better than Nats, but i hear what your saying, ripper mark by Ricky though non the less

Yeah, true, I forgot about Krakouers. But no matter how few marks and possessions Nic Nat gets, the collective industry still just seems to have this major hard on for him. Gives me the irrits to be honest. Has potential, but at the moment, so overrated.

That photo you have there Dandeeman really contrasts how far we are off event the late 80's team .

That team had less skill but huge heart .

Jimmy always came back to help his mates in the backline.

Wight would dive in front of traffic to spoil no matter what .

Jimmy has lost a bit of speech after the last operation .

He doesn't deserve that kind of rubbish when he could have been home playing with his kids .

Maybe wave hundred dollar notes around the dressing rooms because I dont know how to motivate these kids

if the Fighting Irish Spirit isn't enough .

These guys lack the neccesary C#*T when the chips are down .

Great mark and good game by Ricky ...... worked his backside off. If that's what a short stint at Casey can do for a players approach, then I'd like to see a few more asked to follow that path.

Great highlight from a shitfull night, thanks for the pick me up!

Without bias I can say that's the best I've seen this year. How about the lift he gets in that last angle! Highest mark since Burton's MOTY in 2009.

Posted

Ricky tried all night and was rewarded with a great mark, to be placed in his highlights reel. Does anybody else think his kicking has suffered a bit, lost a couple of meters when kicking for goal?

For me 2 things came out of last night, all the team must be very young because they didnt give a yelp for Sean and second they want a pay rise for that crap!

Posted

Great mark and good work rate last night.

But the kid can't kick and makes deplorable decisions. Howe and Cook will eventually push him out of our best 22 if he doesn't get onto those weaknesses.

That's how I see it.

Can't fault his work rate or work off the ball, or any of that. But his kicking is atrocious. Really abysmal stuff. He misses almost every target he aims for. Can't dispose of it under pressure. Also can't kick 50, which isn't great for a half forward. But worst thing is, he doesn't recognise this limitation and continually tries to make the distance, inevitably resulting in kicks that drop just short enough to be rushed.

Needs to address his disposal. Quickly.

Like LJ such a pity it was in our away clash kit...........

Agree with you about Nic Nat, and that's why he'll win and not Ricky. I live in Perth and they all think he's god over here, it shits me, he's not that good

Anyway great mark Ricky!

Bad luck Ricky.

And Nic Nat, and Krakouer, and anyone else who wants MOTY this year.

Go Ricky Go Ricky and did you know i used to be fat!

I seem to be alone (or close to it) in thinking Walker's mark should not win MOTY.

Sure it was a great mark, but people talking about "best in 40 years"..? It was a chest mark! That ruins it for me.

So was Shaun Smiths, not saying Walkers is even close to as good as that, but i don't think taking it on the chest or out in front makes a huge difference. It's all about the elevation.

If people are saying best in 40 years then they're dreaming, Smith's still smashes Walkers.

It probably will win MOTY though.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
