LOL this is just complete rubbish.

in the first qtr i saw Sparrow, Jordon, ANB, Jones, Chandler and Spargo lined up as a direct opponent on Daniel at various times. the players rotate through the forward half these days, hardly no one lines up on a direct opponent for a whole qtr anymore. and even though players start lined up on each other from a centre bounce situation that doesn't mean much anyway, from there its all about keeping the structures and how you want to play instead.

the biggest problem we had with Daniel was our mids just couldn't get their hands on the ball enough to move it forward, so Daniel just did as he pleased instead of defending. i only saw Spargo on Daniel twice that first qtr and one was from a kick out and Spargo burnt him for pace running back inside the F50 but didn't get used.

if you were 'watching closely' i suggest you need to go to spec savers. seems your hatred of Spargo is making you blind.

Ok

1  I do  not HATE Spargo , how can you hate anyone that represents the MFC.

He has played more games than I have at elite! Nuff said.

2 I do not think he is soft as some on this site have commented

3 I stand by my initial piont. Spargo WAS Daniels direct opponent for most of the first quarter

4 Sorry to say, I just do not rate him as a footballer. In my view thats the only thing I'm rating!

5 I am not Blind, but perhaps partially deaf

    If you're mute it shouldn't stop you writing training reports.

    I'm certainly not pointing the finger at Ben. I appreciate his work last year during the covid period and thinks we as a supporter base are lucky to have him. He won me right over with his interview with Josh Mahoneh when he went hard at him. I will also say that he needs to ditch the Gus and Gawny podcast. It's evident to the eye that he gets bullied from both boys with Gus being the most vocal around this. It's actually a disgrace to watch considering Gus has has already experienced mental health dating spud Frawleys daughter. Both Max and Gus need to pull their heads in big time.

    I'm not in the camp that's it's all just up to Ben. In a big organization that requires a lot of media attention Ben cannot simply be the one that's been left in this department.  Wasn't there another young blond girl that was involved last year as well during covid?

    give me a spell, they're having a laugh with a mate of theirs who obviously wouldn't be on the podcast if he didn't like it. the worlds getting far too pc if u can't make a joke at ur mates expense on a podcast u run. don't like it? don't listen to it, simple really but it would be half the listening experience it is without all 3 of them taking it in turns to make light of a situation whatever it may be

    Playing AFL footy at his size would show that he's definitely not soft.

    In his first few seasons he struggled to stick a tackle and opposition players took advantage.

    To his credit he's improved this area of his game.

    I think he's a good natural footballer but at his size you need to be exceptional and I don't see him being this.

    That's why I see him as a depth player.

    Dazzle, for most of the 1st Quarter and I was watching closely, Spargo was Daniel's direct opponent. The amount of times Daniel mopped up and set of across Half back and launched attacks was telling. Spargo just seemed to be in no mans land.

    Spot on. Spargo was consistently slaughtered and caught out of reach to his opponent, slow to get back to ground zero against Daniel and subsequently moved somewhere else.

    Funny, but I was listening to some clips of that Amazon Prime thing they've been plugging lately where they followed different people in football last season.

    It's probably good viewing but one thing that really annoyed the hell out of me was the incessant need to swear by the coaches...it was pretty juvenile really. It was like I'm a real man, I'm grown up and I really mean what I say and you've really got to listen to me because I'm using the F... word. Leon Cameron and Adam Simpson were the ones I heard in the clips...

    It's so embarrassing and more so because I used to do it when I was coaching...I cringed listening to this stuff. It's exactly the male agro rubbish you're talking about and I did it.

    Surely a coach can express his message clearly without...listen here, you know what they f...ing think about you, they think you are f...ing weak, just look at the f...ing s... in the media...are we going to f...ing take this or are we going to f...ing do something about it.

    It's really childish and pathetic...surely we they can do better.

    I've watched the first four episodes. And it is non stop f bombs, from everyone, but particularly the coaches.

    In one short speech/spray (not on game day mind you) he must have said it 10 times in 2 minutes.

    Hardwick, who just seems angry all the time, uses it a lot too.

    Maybe like the prison system, we should ban "Spud" but because of over crowding, allow Richard back in.

    The Test was the same... maybe it’s a requirement as per the not so prim and proper Prime Primer.

    Funny you should say that. I was just thinking that based on The Test Langer had the same angry, F bomb vibe as an AFL coach

    That's a fair question.

    I have previously (a few years back). Will consider doing so again. 

    I wrote an email to the club this morning and will post their reply.

    By the by, in my email i acknowledged that there is a review of the game on the Casey page on the MFC website, which is a real positive:

    Wow, that's a bit rough, I understand the Iranians and Americans  tried to cancel Baghdad without much success in the past, but not sure what I have done to peeve the Iraqi people?  I and my potato dwelling kin folk survived the Irish potato famine and will continue to prosper....

    Frankly after 35 years as a member, most of which has been premium family at a high cost, I could not be more disinterested in the MFC at the moment.  Fatigued by too many false starts for anyone as a football supporter.  
     

    so far this year there has been sweet little to get enthused about and for the first time in 35 years I won’t  make a decision on membership until after the first 3 games.  I have had a gutful of the over promising and undelivering.

    I doubt you are alone Soidee, if we lose the first three I will be close to the same.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
