The highlight for me was the handpass to vandenBerg right at the end, timed it to perfection.

Yes that was the highlight for me on the day also Clint. I remember commenting to bro about that at the time, that slight delay of handball allowing Vanders to run on a little and gain space whilst also drawing/halting players around him for a split second was the sign of a mature player beyond the years of Clarry. Only the first game but looking good.  Fingers crossed and touching wood as i type.

Spot on, I was exactly the same.

As someone whose pet peeve (besides bad goalkicking) is handballing behind a running player, that handball was especially sexy.

In the dark days we would miss that handpass by 2 metres and the opposition would take it down and kick a goal.

So yes Clint, when I saw that I did not take it for granted despite how basic it seems.

 

 

Clarry on SEN 1116 now!

He said that most clubs told him he was too fat in a round about way. 

At the combine, Goodwin told him if he lost 4 kilos we may draft him. He lost 5. 

Heh, GWS cancelled their interview with him. What a recruitment team they have up there! :)


Great debut and looks like he'll be a great player.  Staggering that a talent like that was almost missed!

And gee can he handball!

There was one i think in the last but could be wrong (the second perhaps) that showed both vision and smarts.

He collected the pill in traffic, in the center corridor, held it for just a brief second and gave a long handball to a player in space streaming through the middle.

What was really impressive was that he deliberately put it in front of the player, who not only did not have to break stride, even had to stretch for it. It was almost as if he was directing the receiver where to run to. 

Vision, smarts and technical skill equals a good package. 

Yep saw that, and immediately thought, that's the exact opposite to how we've been playing football for 5 years. Feet, head, behind, over, under. Nope, this was to advantage, didn't have to break stride. A couple of terms I'd like to see a lot more of. Was beautiful.

Thanks! A great interview from the fat kid!

What a ripper kid!  That interview was like a 'breath of fresh air' in today's football world .... as honest as they come, and not a cliche to be heard.

Thats a belter of a interview! Honest and straight forward with no BS.

Talking to few bushie officials over the journey and one thing they said about him was his happy character and dry sense of humour.

Type of kid you want around your club.

Btw its great to hear Nev Jetta take a big mentoring role on the kid. Its what leadership is all about and just confirms why Jetta is such an important member of our football club.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
