Not sure but some days it is evident. I think it may be related to a consistent lack of follow-through, but his field kicking is doing just fine at the moment so it is all a conundrum, of sorts. His scoring rate is great, too.

I think he's fixed this somewhat he's kicked goals from 50 recently. But any issue would be because he doesn't get full extension of the leg (ie his knee is bent)

    Yeah I remember him comment on the podcast maybe that he's not a very long kick. You don't see him kick from 50m often.

    Hopefully something that he can work on now that he seems to have his action more consistent.

    How will 80 rank among our major goalkickers since the golden age of FFs?

    Neita kicked 82-ish when he won the Coleman...

    Holy smokes just looked... Going backwards from 2017...

    42, 41, 44, 20, 28, 29, 40, 55, 29, 26, 42, 68, 73, 69, 65 and in 2002 Neitz won it with 82. Best before that was Bennett with 87 in 1990... then before that no-one has kicked more than 80 other than Fanning in 1947 (97), and 1944 (87)... and Norm 3 times in the 40s.

    Blimey. 

    Yeah, he actually won with 75 and kicked more in finals.

    Robbo kicked 69 in 2005 and didn't get AA. Phil Matera kicked 7 goals less and got in around 4 talls and Riccuitto was shoehorned into the forward line...smh.

    Beautiful city that.

    I spent 8 weeks walking around the Perth CBD for work in 2016. Saw some amazing sights (punchup out the front of the Criterion at 9:30am) and some amazing characters (angry skater man, abusive red hat man, creepy dude in window, pillow head, the East Perth TAB crew near the Carlton).

    I was considering writing a book on the experience but may run into some problems at work re publishing...

    I moved here at 18 and it took me quite a while to warm to it, I actually also considered writing a book based on my move and my observations of Perth. I may get to it one day. The Bell Tower time’s on Facebook is worth a look at.

    Sorry about that Uncle.

    Pillow head is as imaginatively named as all the others...literally a person wandering around with a pillow wrapped around her head. Not a thin hotel pillow either, this one was huge, like a beach ball. I think it made the chroming more efficient and/or protected the noggin in a fall. Saw her a few times in the CBD but then also right out near the airport...

    Didn't have that pleasure, but a mate who worked there for a while as an ambo told me a few Maddog stories.

    On topic, Jesse to kick 6 today.

    Aha! We had icecream head in Darwin. Bloke that used to walk down the street with a 4ltr icecream container on his head offering to sell acid trips. Never took him up on the offer, but I get the feeling they were pretty good.

    We also had a very pretty girl that wore a raincoat, gumboots and washing up gloves, and walked around with two plastic bags full of old newspapers. 

    She could have been a supermodel if she wasn't insane. I hope she is doing ok.

    Another bag of 5 and he now has 31 goals on the season, just two behind the lead for the Coleman.  While also averaging 20 disposals per game.

    Superstar.

    Yea we've got Ned the Flower-pot head,  who has an amazing sense of balance, although last I saw him was a year or so ago when I walked out of a bar in the wee hours and almost trod on him doing push ups on the street out front. 

     

    Massive game from Hoges again today. He is breaking this comp open. Could be better than Carey if he can start dobbing them from 50+ What an absolute gun.

    Oliver and Hogan are something to behold. 

    Their work rate was something to behold. Absolute stars and match winners. 

    Oh I almost forgot. They actually play with Melbourne!

    Now Tommy is locked away . . . I'd love us to go to Jess and say "right . . . it's us or Ross Lyon. Here's a pen, here's the contract, six years, $1.2m per year indexed for inflation from 2020-26".

    Not so incredible at the moment...

    Is he playing sore as well as down on confidence?

    Double grabbing of the ball, dropped marks, poor decisions, etc.

    Hopefully he can get on the end of a few against the Suns and regain some much needed form.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
