Tom McDonald's kicking - Could go anywhere

 

(Seriously. wtf is his action. He kicked an inside-out torpedo goal. He couldn't do that if he tried).

And yet he did.

Frost did a good job attacking, but lets not shy away from the fact that if Daniher kicked straight the results would have been vastly different.

Frost has to get better at defending. I'm sick of defenders playing like millionaires. I don't care if you gain 900kms a game, if your opponent is having 8 shots on goal! 

This is why Jetta is so important to our backline. He actually DEFENDS!

Reckon we need to allow some slack Beezle to our perceived  underperfomers. It's team game and we supporters will never know what the coaches instructions are. 

Yeah...youre right..

A bag of of excuses and gold stamps all round. Why stop there ?

Dispense with scoring, lets not have winners, or best, or anything that might call to question or seriously dehumanise as they are people and have feelings. Its about inclusion... joining together in fellowship...kum by yah ....

Sorry Ernest. Its a competitive sport whose metric is winning. If that was the only role for JKH then that itself is questionable.

The 2nd arrow to a fwd's quiver is defence. His FIRST is to score.

Given we were stretched for avenues to goal he added NOTHING ...again.

Why are many struggling with this.

In this team, it doesn't matter who scores the goals, why we have so many gimmes in the goal square

JKH was singled out for praise by Goody for his pressure, some on here need to get over it, if Goody picks JKH again next week, means he played his role, same with ANB

Unfortunately Saty even good coaches make mistakes eg playing the Weid for two weeks too long at the expense of playing Pedersen.

Lewis - goal of week?

Team - no one injured

Daniher - one goal six

And in the unique world of AFL maths Daniher 1.6 = Daniher 2.0

And what if Frost stayed on JD and didn't attack, would we have won still?

I think Frosty is great in a shutdown role, and equally as good when he is attacking but what i believe he needs to work on is when to run off and when not too.

Feel like his kicking has improved a bit too.

No he wasn't.  Goodwin was asked about our small forwards and getting the right mix and he mentioned many of them.  He admitted that JKH didn't get much of the ball but was happy with his pressure.  He did not single him out at all.  You're a liar.

Oh sorry, mentioning by name is not singling out, of course we can't have Goody praising JKH, goes against the mob sentiment on here

I won't single you out when I say I find some of the experts on here laughable

The Bernie Vince kick out with 10:41 to go in the second quarter has to stand as a low point.

Watched it on replay to see if there was an excuse but no..... one MFC player ringed by five Bombers around 30 metres out

The only thing I can think of is that is that Vince made a mistake re depth perception in that while the MFC player appeared free there was time for the zone to drop in.

Love him or hate him Shaw for GWS has the kick in down to a fine art. If you can get the 10-15 metre post goal square run you upset the zone

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
