Viney is on AVB's left - in the right of screen:)

Pretty sure it's Chandler, and lockhart in the first photo, not bedford

    You could not get a perfect example of a perfect tackling technique right here. Both arms wrapped fully around and locked on. 

    This is why Vanders is like an enforcer in our side. His physicality and brute power was sorely missed throughout 2019. Watch the first half of his 2018 game against West Coast in round 23 when he set the tone with his tackling.

    And got royally screwed by the biased dog umpires.

    I'd like to see Dusty try the "don't argue" on Vanders on ANZAC Eve. It won't happen though, Dusty is too smart for that.

    Great example and if the momentum of that tackle took them both players forward as seems likely, the maggots would pay in the back! That is why I believe tackles should be judged for legality on where they start, not where they finish.

    I think Hannan is always going to be a week to week proposition for us now,  with his knee issue.

    Thanks Doc. Can you have a look at my lower back?

    Worst call I have ever seen.

    Looking back its actually quite amazing how Vandenberg jumped straight back up arguing with the umpire while the WC was on the ground in pain.

    As your earlier comments and the one above both alude to, being awarded the free kick or not is almost just the icing on top, but the physical presence and pressure that gets applied through these acts is priceless in so far as the impact it has on the opposition's psyche.

    Where can we access this AVB tackling exhibition to refresh the memories? I was just thinking about tacklers specifically - and I am really missing Frosty, in that (and all) regard(s). May, Frost, AVB, Preusse - what a tackle tag team we'd have ... throw in Trac, Harmes and Sparrow and you'd be constantly delighted.

    Can't believe we bought the double calf surgery story, but at least HB comes cheap

     

    Is that a bad joke?

    The double calf surgery is fact.

    If you stop carrying Uncle Bitters, you should be fine.

    It's also a fact that both kk and harley reached the mfc on the back of medical reports that suggested a new miracle cure for recurring / career ending issues. Kk had new medically identified neck issues that caused his head to wobble too much while harley had newly identified nerve issues that tickled his calf muscles. I'm fairly confident both players also had their fair share of other medical reports that said they had little hope of an AFL career.  You may be aware,  Freo already sent him to world renowned German soft tissue experts without luck. That's not to say l don't want him too make it. He can play, comes cheap, and helps to sell hope.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
