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?

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.

 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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
