Give it a rest.

Pretty sure its bordering cyber bullying now.

No it's not, it's just the usual empty vessels

Liverpudlian and ex military, they don't even begin to concern me

Anyway back to the topic, the point I was trying to make was, yes, let's wait until games to see the improvement in the kicking, but I am more optimistic this year that it will be there, than the last few, I do go to training a lot, last year the kicking was still appalling at training, so I didn't have much hope for the games...I was actually one on here who said we were only going to win 3 or 4 games and I am supposed to be the biggest fanboy....my prediction for this year 6 or 7

As someone who is based in Sydney, I can say with certainty that the training reports during the pre-season are the most valuable/important contributions that posters make on this site.

That being the case, would others please respect this and stop dragging otherwise interesting threads into mindless/petty personality-based sniping.

As someone who works when training is on, I second this post.

I share your sentiment RB

But good luck with the result.

As someone who has had the pleasure of meeting TDI and his lady, I would suggest that some of the snipers get along to training and introduce themselves and know the person... it might do wonders for their perception of the man rather than the poster. I know most of the comments are said in good humour, but there are a few that are definitely beyond the pale.

i'll reserve my judgement as to whether certain players have become good or ok kickers when i seen it demonstrated consistently in real match conditions

that is all that counts

effective disposal % stats are a crock of shyte

Not necessarily, bit like supercoach points, depends on how you interpret them

Both correct - it is the need for interpretation that makes the figures shyte. Our backliners disposal efficiency number looks much better on paper than it is. The defenders chip the ball around backwards quite well to each other but we have certain players who are average by foot coming forward out of the backline. Their efficiency number is going to look above average but it does belie their average ability by foot. Inside, in and under footballers who get the ball out of heavy traffic will by the nature of their work have a lower disposal efficiency figure.

The best way to judge efficiency is still to watch and McKenzie, Grimes, McDonald and Terlich are four that need to improve their foot disposal when they are under little pressure.

100% this. The opposition gets 3-4 goals a week from truly awful disposal mistakes in the back half and these are the main offenders, I dont care what the stats say

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
