Quick question, are Dom, Viv and Bernie all left footer?

Vince is a right footer, but the others are left footers.

EDIT. Thanks Ben. I'm a zombie today. Viv is also a right footer.

    Vince is one of those weird anomalies - a natural right footer who is arguably better off the left.

    I really hope the Cross rumour is true.

    Perfect bloke to help teach Tyson, Michie, Toumpas, et al just what's required in terms of professionalism to being the best midfielder you can be.

    Cross is hard at it - unwavering in his attack on the ball...not dissimilar to our number 7.

    If he's with us, I hope his body holds up and he plays most games.

    Why ?

    because If McKay is open to coming back, it would help to change out a Bail or a Nicholson, or a Dunn.

    Or even a trade with a Jetta who is struggling to find his place. he's got more than he's providing. he almost needs a change of scenery to recharge batteries.

    IMO another change of the lower register can help all to improve. a Dunn/Bail for McKay, or a Jamar + P57

    I think McKay would help with our run & pace at the expence of a Dunn or Bail type. I wonder if Dunn would do better out of Victoria.

    Interesting article on the AFL site:

    White to Pies a done deal
    Sydney Swans big man Jesse White will get his wish of a trade to Collingwood, after the clubs agreed to a three-way trade that also involves West Coast, reports Fairfax Media.
    The report says the trade could be made official as early as Monday, with the Magpies to receive White and pick six in the NAB AFL Draft, the Eagles picks 11 and 31, and the Swans pick 44.
    I am confused in what does Sydney get? The Eagles are darn keen on using 31 to get Yeo; willing to go from 6 to 11 to get it done.

    I think the Swans are refreshing their list, & also letting off some salary cap pressure going forward. that club is changing its down back to duck feathers.

    Can Cross sign now or does it have to be after the trade period? I thought we would have to trade for him if he signed now?

    Cross a Dee? Looking likely.

    Yep.

    Jamar out (Brisbane or St.Kilda for a pick upgrade) - Jolly in would not surprise me in the least.

    It wouldn't surprise me but it wouldn't impress me. Would be no change on field and off field would replace a popular team mate with a guy who can be a bit of a [censored].

    I heard that Collingwood are keen on picking up Freeman now that they have #6. This thwarts our aspirations for pick #9. Can anyone update on this?

    Who did you "hear" it from ?

    Freeman would be a 'good get' with pick 9, but there are a number of 'good gets' in what seems to be a very even first 10 or 12 picks.

    Like Mahoney said on Friday...there's a few players that we were looking at for pick 2 and our recruiting team are confidant that there'll be one at pick 9.

    If it's Freeman, then good. If it's Lenon, Crouch, Kolo, Taylor....then good.

    If other people are like me and don't really watch any under age footy...but then start to like the sound of Freeman purely based on other uneducated footy people like me saying that Freeman's a jet, then it's the blind leading the blind.

    If Viney and Taylor think one of there preferred picks will be there at 9...then relax and enjoy the ride. Don't stress about maybe loosing Freeman.

    Technically this is right, but my Crows mates say Vince is equally good either foot. There is a great clip of him moving through traffic on the 50 meter line, dodges onto his right foot then baulks, then slots a 50m goal through using his loeft boot on a 45 degree angle.

    Will be great to see Vince, Viney, Michie, and Tyson feeding our forwards on those lovely low long accurate passes lefties seem so expert at (a la Hawks)

    Thanks for the reply. I was wondering why you were keen. There are a lot of Adelaide mids I like. He's not one of them. A case of style over substance IMHO.

    I doubt anyone is going to take Dunn or Bail no matter how you dress the deal up. Happy to be proven wrong though.

    Why bring religion into football?

    He is too. Derps.

    Michie is a right footer.

    And looking at the footage posted on the Viv thread he goes to some lengths not to kick on his left

    For that matter, Cross is equally adept on either side of the body. So much so, I "think" he's a right footer, but can never be sure.

    Lennon more suited to our needs in my opinion, and i think he will be there at 9

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
