“He showed he’s a very capable AFL player. He’s a very balanced person, he’s mature, he’s played a lot of VFL footy and he was just ready for the next step. As he got more and more experience, he looked more and more comfortable at AFL level. He had a little stint of injury and had to go through the VFL again, but finished the year strong by working his way back into the AFL team.” - Matt Egan MFC Head of Player Development

A great pick-up for MFC stepped in and filled a number of roles for the Dee's at crucial times, I hope that he continues to improve his ball use and holds down a spot in our best 22 - 25 players. - Well done Marty Hore.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

An unusually good pick up from Colonwood, after the disappointment of Dawes and of H


Certainly exceeded expectations given his low draft pick and poor debut game. Needs to make significant improvements in his defensive work and his disposal to play regularly next year because there is no way that he and Lever can play in the same team. He should be aspiring to push Hibberd out of the team by mid season.

 

Love his intercept marking.   Was in the top couple in the league  before he was injured.

A little contradictory, or at least confusing.

Does you actually mean that there cannot be Hibberd, Hore and Lever in the same side or that even if he displaces Hibberd he still couldn't. work with Lever?


I hope I’m wrong but I’m concerned Hore is OK at many things, but not AFL standard in enough things except his marking.

Not big enough to defend a true big forward or fast enough on the lead.

Not athletic/agile enough to defend a small or medium forward.

Disposal/decision making not good enough to be a distributor.

As per @poita’s post, Lever is better at what Hore is best at and I struggle to see them both in the same team.

I think Hore is solid depth, especially if Lever gets injured again, but I can’t see him holding down a first 22 position in the backline.

There’s a reason he was a prominent VFL player for a while yet wasn’t drafted.

Hibberd and Jetta look to be the incumbents closest to being over the hill, so maybe Hore can be trained hard to improve his deficiencies to take over from one of them. Needs to work on agility to be like a Jetta, or straight line pace to be like Hibberd.

He shouldn’t ever lose his ability to read a ball in the air and mark it as that’s probably a reasonably natural talent for him.

Hore has been a great pick up for the Dees & proved his worth time & time again.....

His kicking however is horrible......often kicks blindly & if he can improve in this area & show more composure, he will be a cracker.

From all reports a great fella too....

Reckon he was top (from a small sample) for one week or so.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
