Training - Wednesday 3rd February, 2016

Don't know if it was a closed session, or MFC supporters didn't want to get wet, but hardly anyone viewing this morning at Gosch's paddock.

Rehab - Vince, Dawes, H

Main group - Frost trained.  Couldn't see Watts.  Petracca left before main drills.

Jogging/Walking - Max King

 

I only stayed an hour, but Goodwin took them for slow-mo full-ground, low-pressure stoppage work.  D50 stoppages, midfield stoppages, offensive boundary stoppages.  Interesting to notice that at every stoppage, the "fifth", the "launch" and the "stalker", amongst other roles and positions need to be identified.  At the end of it, the goal kicker had to pull the trigger under pressure.  Weed, Kent +/- Frost kicking truly.

Please enlighten me, what is the role of the "fifth" and the "launch". I think Stu can help me out with the role of the "stalker".

(cmon Stu, it was a joke)

 

cheers

 

id be guessing  bt would think maybe the  5th is a numbers at ball player to lock down oppositions opportunites. Launch..is the get out player who'll 'start' the offence"  and stalker...a shutdown role ?

I assume this is stalking...and was one of the most enjoyable 'stalking' efforts of all time

Although it really ended up as a mugging.

Like Beelzebub said, the 'launch', I suspect is the go-to man out of the congestion that is ideally a good user by foot....ala Salem.

 

In VAFA circles, the 'fifth', as I understand it, is usually referenced to high HFFs pushing up to a stoppage; but I can't be sure about this morning and the context.

Same in most football circles, the 5th is someone who will push into the contest and often play as an extra mid.


We often used a winger last year and usually they would sweep the contest, but it was a role that crossy and Jack Watts often played which could coincide with them being third man up often ...

 


Like last year when the 'spitter' term got outed, I'm sure there are lots of newfangled 'roles' or set piece plays that coaches are always trying to invent.

No doubt these two roles could be called something else at another club.


Thanks for the report TGR!

Just my experience, but the fifth is the half forward (usually flanker) who pushes up at a stoppage and shuts down the oppositions back door get out or outside player. 

Yeah, seems pretty straight forward.

"Launch" as the player who breaks free of congestion to make the attacking move.

The "5th" would be direction as to where a player is to set up if you're a wingman or HFF entering the contest to create an extra number.

The "stalker" I imagine would be the same sweeper type role at the back of a contest, not directly part of the contest, but a failsafe hanging back in case the opposition break out from the initial congestion - to stop an opposition "launch."

Well done WJ.  About time - could do for many other threads as well.  It would make this whole board far more enjoyable.

That's correct - not aimed at the OP but at an unnecessary comment in the next post.

Discussion on training and players is always welcome.

Half forward flankers, wings - you guys are dreaming.  The game has now shrunk to ruckmen, key forward & defender, small forward & defender and 9 or 10 onballers.  

 

We are 22 days away from our first NAB game against Port.  Any news on when we will play an intra-club game or two?

It would be nice if the rehab group was a little smaller, but hopefully it is because they club is now ultra-conservative with injuries.

It is going to be very interesting to see how the Round 1 team takes shape over the next 7 weeks.

I was trying to find this today.  Would be good to know.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
