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.

Turbo McTreacle must be worried if all these moves come of!

    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.

    The little I've seen of Lockhart so far he could be something, shows a bit.

    I was surprised they dropped Hore after round one. He’s been fantastic and exactly the type of player we need with Lever out. 

    I was surprised Lockhart has come in off a VFL preseason and has had the impact he has. Looking forward to him for the rest of the year. Should build confidence after the weekend.

    I really enjoyed Lockhart's fake handpass that led to the Garlett/Stretch Goal. Showed great awareness of stuff happening around him.

    He was dropped because May came in.

    Has done a terrific job since coming back in.  Deserves to stay when other defenders return.

    Weideman on a wing?

    Good grief

    Anyone know if Lockhart is indigenous? 

     

    He’s from Tassie, so probably not... ? at least not directly.

    No doubt he was replaced by May. But we lacked an interceptor.

    A feel good story about Lockhart's path to AFL:  From Docks to Dees

    He has missed only 2 games since debut due to injury.  Last line of the article sums it up very well:  He won’t be back on the docks any time soon".

    It seems he has taken ANB's spot in the team, having been selected ahead of him several times.  Will be interesting to see who goes out when Hannan comes back.  Given the huge wrap Hibberd gave Lockhart for being 'hard as nails and one of the toughest guys he's met in footy', I doubt it will be Lockhart.

    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

    Steady mobility rather than pace but runs in possession to space. That's how I see Hore. He reminds me of Brett Lovett at about the same body size, but a better mark in the congestion of the field, these days. Not quite ready for direct comparison with Brett but definitely getting there. Thus, he may well be Mr Reliable, too.

    It’s always a compelling narrative to see players who work bloody hard for their opportunity, and then seize their chance.

    Lockhart and Hore play like they know what a big deal it really is, and you can just see how grateful they are for the opportunity, and how much they respect it.

    I really like both of these guys. They definitely add value to the squad.

    Exactly why  Petracca needs a rest with Casey, imo.

    I like them both. Hore seems like a good fit for our eventual best backline.

    I can see both Lockhart and Hore holding their spot in our best 22 even when guys like Lever, May, Hannan, AvB come back in.

    Wonderful goal that really capped Hore’s rapid improvement in disposal since round 1. Sticking his tackles too. Well done.

    Lockhart just does some real footballer things - holds some good marks, bursts from packs, reads the bouce of the ball. A bit down from last week and he has to hit more targets to do more damage but he’s such a change from the rest of our battlers who usually get the half forward jobs.

    He's got a bit of  'Go',  in him.

    Indeed. Scores were level and with 49 seconds to go. At the centre ball-up Max's double effort sent us forward, Viney bustled a trademark tough clearance inside 50, a brilliant ground ball get from Hunt and his pinpoint handball to Hore who had found space running toward goal and his sublime composure in the "moment of truth" as he steadied and kicked a classic sausage roll from 50 - a sight to behold! With 18 seconds to go he had put us level with GC and given us a slim chance of winning. Which we did. What Marty did cannot be over-adulated. It should be remembered especially by Demons for the ages. His goal was a watershed moment. Not just in the game but in the season...

    Battlers by my intentions was players not versed with natural skills but they battle on.  Big hearts.  Battle on.  Key going despite adversity.  Neither are naturally gifted.  

    Petracca and a few more could learn from them about the struggle to realise your dream and then finally have it.   I was a fan of them both as VFL Players.  So DD LOL you caveman.

    • 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.
