NAB Challenge 1 - Richmond v Melbourne

My thoughts:

  • Kennedy-Harris is an exciting pick up. He isn’t all that quick but reads the game very well and uses the ball effectively.

Yes - after all the training reports I was expectng him to be lightening quick - when he was almost run down whilst kicking the sealer I thought - He isn't that quick.

But now that I think about it - it was his first game and that was at the end of the game - so maybe he was just fatigued. The young guys (King/JKH/Salem) probably get fatigued after 20 mins of play.

The main word there YD was "almost"

It is my observation that the good players always seem to be able to get the kick or hand pass away in time.

Speed is a mental as well as physical thing.

Looking at his underage reports he was said to be quick over the first few paces but not an out and out speedster. Ideal for a footballer.

 

Love the tiger's sponsor "Lite n Easy", couldn't help but smile each time they put the camera on the coaches'box

Wasn't ours 'New Age Caravans' or something?

Hidden message?

yeah we've been camping out in the wilderness for 50 years

Just watched the game again, and very excited about Trengove.....he will be like a new recruit if he keeps it up.

 

Who's tool ?

Showing your age?


Just heard Mario from Doncaster on the radio.

Classic :)

What did he say?

Also for those saying about JKH and his media skills, he was co captain of the oakleigh chargers so he did a bit of speaking and he also does some acting work. he has been on neighbours and if anyone has seen those PSO ads he is the guy with the headphones on that is underneath a station and he sees a shadow and turns around and sees the 2 PSO officers coming. They said his acting work has helped hit a lot talking tot he media.

ranted that Richmond were "Mental Midgets" who should have won by over 100 points.

It was amusing but not his best rant.

He is value!!

Is the membership in the microwave yet?

Pretty sure I heard dwayne fhead russel tell me JKH was on neighbours only 393747872 times during friday nights match


Yeah good point DC. A fairly serious character apparently found 40 days and 40 nights enough.

i think we are more in the Moses camp than the Noah camp when it comes to wandering in the wilderness BBO

but nice to see you remember some of your childhood jesuit studies. lordweaver would be pleased

Is the membership in the microwave yet?

Possibly done at the Service Station. He was yet to phone Benny Gale!!

Another such character lead his people through 40 years of wandering in a desert ...

Just watched the game again and i have to say i'm really impressed with Bail. Not sure how many touches he had but always seemed to be pushing for the option up front. Loved that goal in the third when he busted through the pack, picked up the ball and goaled. Also not sure about the effectiveness that Tyson had but it 'seemed' that he made quite a few skill errors throughout the game.

Also as poor as Pedo was last year, you have to hand it to him for giving it everything on Friday night. Certainly wasn't backing away from anything this time round, and seemed to run himself into the ground. Good on him.

Bail was good.

I am tempering my thoughts a tad waiting for more exposed form but he has started very well.

He is a bold worker who runs all day - he can play. We just haven't seen enough of it for varying, and worrying, reasons.

Speed is a mental as well as physical thing.

a player always runs slower with the ball too.

they lose the motion of their arms for extra momentum and the fact you might have to bounce keeps you in check on how fast you should run.

Agree - Greg Williams?? Not that I am comparing nimble slender JKH with Williams in that regards, but Williams was a super quick thinker with the ball but slow as any top line AFL player I can remember on a run.

I was surprised with bail too.

to be honest, i thought he was done last season.

looks like he still has some life

 

Bail + Jay Kenedy-Harris = some excitement amongsy Melbourne fans for this season!

  • 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.
