Imagine a convoy of range rovers linked end to end.

You mean like Yarra Park car park on game day at the g?

Choc Williams spending a lot of time out in the middle with Jordan, Sparrow & Bedford.

Today I'm most looking forward to seeing how Bowey and Jordan go, along with the re-emergence of Harmes and Hunt back in the positions they play best.

 

*Bowey, not Rosman

    It’s on here at 1210. Funnily enough it coincided with me feeling a bit crook and having to take the rest of the day off.

    First time at the footy for a looong time. Feels great. Some  things  never change (cost of chips at Etihad/Marvel/whatever, Maxy’s ball drop). 
     

    Saw Rivers and Lockhart doing kick to kick. Instead of just kicking straight to the other (plenty of that, amazing skills, training the house down etc) they faced at right angles to the other and “ran back off the mark”, turned 90 degrees and kicked to the other. 
     

    interesting drill, an example of deliberative practice. Wonder if Chocko had a hand in that?

    i wouldn't

    he competes harder than a lot of more ballyhooed players

    He does and I would have vanders in the side mainly because he can put in the hard yards consistently as a forward (playing as a tall option) Ben Brown when fit is another.  The rest ... doesn't happen

    The rest of them are in a general sense not playing as forwards should do ... fundamentals ignored and that's why we don't win enough games

    It's fair to say the AVB is not blessed with a lot of talent but he is best suited as a forward as he often gets the ball in the hot spot (our other forwards won't venture to that area often enough - getting crunched in the hot spot probably doesn't appeal)

    People here should watch where our forwards are positioned today when the ball goes into our forward line.  Do we utilise the hot spot?  Playing in front of our opponents?  2nd & 3rd efforts?  Do we make multiple leads and present to the midfielders?  Are we capable of retaining possession of the ball in our forward line?

    Every game I watch with great intent as to how our forward line functions.  I urge others to do the same especially when premiership points are at stake

    And if we don't do enough of the above it won't matter how many touches our midfielders get.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
