Superstars

Featured Replies

Posted

I have always believed that the superstars of the game have that something extra that lets them rise to the next level when the game is on the line.

I felt exactly the same way seeing Dom Tysons match winning goal on the weekend, since then I am very much of the belief that he will be a genuine superstar

the future is in good hands lads.

 

I see it in JKH too,not to mention Viney.

I like to use my own player comparisons to see what I think these players could be

Grimes- Enright

Hogan - Pavlich

Viney - Selwood

Tyson - Judd

JKH - Pendelbury ( I know this one is strange but I see the poise and smarts here )

Salem - Jordan lewis

I don't think I have seen enough of Tyson - never seem to spot the kid when he gets the ball.

Viney I think will be a star (wish he was 2-4cms taller).

Think of it this way...his body shape gives him a low centre of gravity which makes it really difficult to knock him over. Leigh Matthews, Peter Daicos, Dane Swan and both Gary Abletts all had or have this attribute. It's a wonderful advantage in a hard, body contact sport.

But I guess the question is, is it a hard, body contact sport? I guess we will know in a little over an hour.

Wow, I guess we're all set for the next 10 years then!

I think I like the thought of this

Black - tyson

Voss - jones

Aker - Vince/ toump

Lappin - Salem

Power - Viney

Lynch - Dawes

Brown - Hogan

Mmm more player comparisons. Please, tell me more about how a bloke that hasn't played a game reminds you of a triple premiership-playing coleman medallist...

Tyson oozes Pendles, not JKH.

Tyson has all the time in the world, and even when tackled will hold onto the footy and wait to dish it off to another team mate.

Love this kid.

Fully agree. Tyson is Pendlebury like & going to be worth every cent.

Cant say JKH is anything like Pendlebury mould IMO.

Viney I think will be a star (wish he was 2-4cms taller).

Then watch him... Tyson is quality.

Viney's height makes no difference. Jack is low to the ground, in and under, crash and bash.

Crying over cms is ridiculous.

JKH to Pendlebury comparison is crazy. I like the look of JKH but i cant see any comparisons worthy of noting.

Watching Kennedy tonight, I can see why Roos got Tyson. Both not overly quick but very strong in close and good hands.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
