The Master's Apprentice : Another Lesson

Gotta love these two. I have a feeling that Chuck taking Gus under his wing will actually benefit both players massively. 

 

Little Sticks understands footy is a contact sport and knows how to use his body. What's not to like.

Great photos 666  

Fascinating comparing the bodies of Gus and Chunk with the stick insect 'saviors' shown in the current Jack grimes thread.  The club has come a long way.

Six6Six - bloody fabulous effort in documenting what happens at training - then uploading it .Really grateful for it.

Gus seems to have beefed up a bit which is good to see. 

Good work 666. 

Majority of players look really lean and strong. Chunk looks a little leaner but the likes of Brayshaw are our future and if they can maintain the rage over a career things look so positive.

ps thanks to 3, 6 for the continued great pics.

Pretty good use of the face palm also.  Thanks heaps for the action shots.Worth a thousand words etc.

Smartest young Melbourne footballer I have seen for some time. Just needs to protect his head. All going well he is going to be one of our great players.

I know what you mean, but are these two sentences counter-intuitive? Oxymorons? Logical fallacies? Whatever the right term, they do seem a bit contradictory.

Perhaps if he gets more concussions he will get less smart and therefore get less concussions

Incorrectly spetl smart. Which is ironic.

I love that Jones has taken him under his wing.

A good club has the players driving their own improvement, the coaches driving the players to improve but importantly, the players driving each other to improve. I don't think that Gus could learn from anyone better how to prepare for the game and how to eek the most of the talent you are given.

(I sit in the camp that Jones does not have elite talent. What Jones does have is the ability to consistently play to the maximum that his talent allows him. That is far more important than raw talent as we have seen over too many years that there is huge difference between having lashings of talent and being able to bring that talent to the table consistently)

So true.

Nathan gets everything he can out of what he has.  

I admired the more limited Jordie McKenzie for exactly the same reason.  Far more than some more naturally talented players who at least appeared not to give their all every time - Col springs to mind here.  

Gus has plenty of natural talent and I have little doubt he will have the application to be a star.

And yet another bloody amazing set of photos.  Thanks again 666.

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
