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.

That's a bit rough Wise. Just different interpretations of what and how it was said, by you and Saty.

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

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
