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...

    You can't just drop pillow head and walk away like that.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
