Rivers and Lockhart - very good kicks: what we need.

 

Might only be a scratch match but there are players here clearly trying their hardest to make an impression and impressing they are. 

Some of the ball movement out of defence has been first class and intensity is through the roof.

Fritsch behind from a set shot

 4.12.36 to 3.2.20

I could go back to 2019 match reports and copy and paste about 500 comments asking. Why Isn't goal kicking coached and practiced at training?


Good forward pressure and tackle by Bedford. Reward for effort with the set shot Goal.

Rivers kick a few minutes ago out of the back 50 was a beauty. Allowed us to open up the whole ground and transition quickly  for a shot on goal. Hope to see him in the seniors this year.

Isn’t Lewis our goal kicking coach? 

 

Field kicking has been good, just not goal kicking. 


I wonder how far Spargo can kick. I dont know if he can cover > 35 meters.

WHAT THE HELL IS STAFFORD DOING?

How is a former ruckman the goal kicking coach? On researching this he kicked 141 goals 66 behinds during his career, so he did spend some time forward. FWIW, I played a lot of my amateur football as a ruckman and take offense that stereotype us as poor kicks. Having said that, if you had Matthew Lloyd or Greg Stafford as your two options........

Loving our transitions but by golly, Gus looks rusty!

He looks a fair way off teh pace, which is ok, Swallow looks better than him. It may take a while for Gus to get going. He wouldnt be on the plane to Perth in my team at the moment, looks like he needs block of games.


Anyone know who’s wearing 17, 37 & 49 guernseys. All getting a bit of pill in the 3rd quarter. 

Edited by Mel Bourne

Yes he is playing okj. Doesnt actually answer my question which I nearly was going to make 25 meters :)

3QT 

6.12.48 to 3.2.20

 whoever the Casey boys are they’re doing alright. 

Either you're a prophet, or the stream is on a delay...!

I think the best thing to come out of this game is that it looks like we have depth, more so than ever. Its exciting.

 

Thinking about a pint or two at Hardemans after this if anyone is keen. 
Meet a few of you desperado’s. 

Liking some of Bedfords work he could get some senior games this year

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
