Preseason Update: Sylvia to Blease

Featured Replies

Posted

By the sounds of the MFC post the boys are all tip top shape. Maybe it is time that Sylvia took on a leadership role?

Pre-season update: Sylvia to Blease

 

More MFC stories on the AFL web site? Has the AFL taken over our media department?

I'd like to see Sylvia lead on the field this year and have no more off-field indiscretions from now on and then I'd consider him for the leadership group. He must earn it, and if he does then I'd be more than happy to include him. If it was up to me of course

 

Is it just me or are the Brian Royal comments about as insightful as Today Tonight's latest exposay into 'Super Market Rip-offs'. At least from Brown and Rawlings you get a sense that the guys have a real feel and knowledge of the game and the players, Brian sounds like he just reads the stats from www.finalsiren.com.au and then adds the comment 'trains well'! I

After 7 seasons i cant wait to see the magical C Sylvia explode, LOL.


Pathetic puff pieces.

They're much better than last year where, reading between the lines, you realised that the new coaching staff was far from impressed with the fitness and work ethic of the majority of the squad.

Yes the fluff is of a far better type this year.

And all of it really counts for 2/3 of 3/4 of sfa.

Only when jumpers are donned and the line of competition crossed will we know truly where the players rank.

Having said that there does seem the fleeting glimpses of some sort of satisfaction as to how certain "disappointments" are now travelling.

I'll just wait and see.

 

At the risk of stating the obvious " the boys are training the house down"

Now there is something new for an off season.

It has been heard a few times over the years.

I will reserve my judgement until about 4.30 pm 31st March 2013

No, I'll reserve my interim judgement until 4.30 pm 13 April R3 post WCE at MCG, and then I'll watch carefully until the bye in R12 that is preceded by Fremantle, Hawthorn & the QB game against Collingwood. Wouldn't it be wonderful at that stage to remain engrossed in the football & not the impending draft selections??

2013 has to be better!


Disappointing they couldn't elaborate on Blease a little bit, considering he's one that has always struggled aerobically in pre-season. I already knew his 'speed & kicking' wasn't a problem, but where's he at fitness-wise compared to last year?

All the reports are light on; it would be nice if they could eleaborate on everyone and maybe even keep the website updated with players current situation (rather than merely number of games) and consistent format as some player profiles are very scanty and other expansive.

I thinking focussing on his speed and kicking probably explains where his aerobic capacity is at.

Hopefully his decision making has improved .

His choice of friends when he first got here was pathetic .

Dee-tox: generally poor summer of posting, needs to work much harder on the track

They're much better than last year where, reading between the lines, you realised that the new coaching staff was far from impressed with the fitness and work ethic of the majority of the squad.

i will add however the nature of fluff or puff isn't much different . It's the actual descriptions that have changed. I 'll take a little encouragement from that.

If there was one single thing I take away from these and other reports is a singularity.

This being that those now at the club and well and truly paid up members of the "bought in " club !!

That's incredibly valuable.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
