Depleted Demons vs almost full strength Dogs

If we can compete today you have to be feeling bullish about Round 1

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?

Just no injuries please.

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.

Get well soon, or at least by 6.00 pm

Highlight so far: umpires having practice whistle blowing. And silly walk practice running 

So good to be back

Let me know if you’re able to. I just tried and get stuck in a loop no matter what I try. I can’t even give them my money to watch at this point!?!

It is being called by SEN (at least, on their app). The dulcet tones of Andy Maher...

I just want us to win

no matter who/what game it is

bring that winning culture
