In Hore's case, might be a good reminder not to write players off after one or two games, @dazzledavey36?

Hore's kicking needs work but he reads the play as well as any defender at our club since Jared Rivers. He looks to me to understand defending really well.

    Agree, 

    If selectors think that a player is good enough to get a game in the ones, then the player should be given a number of consecutive games to prove their worth. At least a minimum of 2 games and maybe 3 or 4.  Totally opposed to selecting a player for their first game and dropping them a week later.  It damages the players confidence and almost says'to everyone that the player should not have been selected in the first place. Sure there are players who put in a shocker in their first game, but that normally tells you that the player should not have been selected in the first place. Petty is an example.

    Agree. Have to give Keilty a game this week.

    Think both have been fantastic.  Hore is looking more and more reliable down back and is the heir apparent to Hibberd.  When Lever and May return he may be freed up to be even more creative across half-back.

    Lockhart's had a great start.  A lot of x-factor in that things seem to 'happen' when the ball is near him.  Like Hannan, he regularly finds himself in the right place at the right time.

    Couldn't find a spot for Salem?

    Hore could push Salem up to the wing when the cavalry starts to coming back into the team...

    It may allow Salem to move to a wing. Would think he is leading the BNF at this point.

    Both impressed me on Saturday. I’m really puzzled as to why Lockhart slipped under the radar, his attack on the ball was really first rate and his maturity is like someone in at least their 2nd season.

    And I agree about Hore, excellent composure, excellent reader of the play. Thanks Collingwood. And both fitted into the team very nicely indeed.

    When lever comes back in a couple of weeks it will be interesting to see what happens to Hore.  they play similar roles.

    Lever, Frost, Hore and Hibbo in the same back 6?  could work

    Couldn't argue with any of that.

    Actually, we play seven defenders rotating through the bench, so Salem can remain in the defensive slot. I like the idea of him on the wing, but it frightens me who might be the seventh defender if it's not him.

    Agree, one of the successes this season alongside Hore

    I think Spargo also has it but unfortunately does not do enough. 

    Lockhart is an improved version.

    High praise from Hibberd:

    On Hore:  "...He drops back in space, helps the other defenders in the air and he is a great teammate. I love playing with Marty.”

    On Lockhart:  "You just know what you’re going to get with Jay. He is as hard as nails and probably one of the toughest players I’ve come across in footy,”

    Hore and Lockhart would love hearing that from an experienced and  succesful teammate.

    Only last week some on here were lamenting all the VFL standard players in our side.  Hore and Lockhart may just prove the doubters wrong (along with Fritsch, Hannan, AVB)

    We might have to try Frost on a wing to fit Salem into the back 6.

    Imagine TMc on one wing and Frosty on the other with Pertracca in the centre...  a strong marking centreline. with Lockhart on a flank Hannan opposite, & Keilty in CHF.  Weide deep with Hunt. And another small speedster in the pocket.

    Salem off the B/Flank.

    Lockhart has been a professional footballer for no more than a month or two. In each of his previous games, he was fading out quickly after a lively start, but he put together 4 quarters on the weekend and was vital. I think he will continue to improve.

    Hore's disposal on the weekend was concerning, but love his intercept marking, which is as important a trait as you can get in today's game.

    When May, Lever and Jetta return, it will free up Frost and Hunt for the wings. Open space to run and long kicks to attack.

    Rotate through the wings with TMac & Weideman to offer variety in size and marking ability as well as run.

    Tracca needs a chill pill and to be instructed to hold the ball after a mark to take the time to make good choices and to set up his kicking.

    There is no rush to win.

    We need speed, run and agility, in our forwardline...  so no Tracca or TMc.

    TMc can start there...  but I want him high, up in the midfield, to take marks around the centreline.

    Tracc I want him out of the F50.  I want him to start in the Pivot.  and rotate from the bench. He can run forward in play,  but I don't want him starting in the forward 50.  We need plenty of speed,  inside 50.

    A selection of,  Weide, Preuss, Keilty,  can be the talls inside 50

     

    IMO we need more marking dominance across the centreline...  with today's defensive press...  the '666' rule...  and the extended goal-square.

    Class and speed,  across both half-back,  and half-forward lines

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
