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........

    He’s getting plenty of it.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
