I think you are right about the ball bouncing out of JVR's hands when marking, though I don't think it is the positioning. Hands are too stiff, no give when the ball is there. He has buckets for hands and I can see him developing those grabs, which he can take (training observations). Could be related to "not being loose as a goose" when playing. Give him some time, a few great games and he may be able to show us something. At least he is bringing it down for the front and centres, which appears to be be the instructions.  

Thank you for your answer in an intelligent way unlike some, what I mean is if you have your hands, I hope I can explain it right, they have their wrist cocked back but their hands are in a position catching a cricket ball so when the ball comes in it is hitting the palms of their hands, that it what I mean about position of the hands which causes that stiffness when the ball hits,  so on that point you are right, I think JVR has the ability to play at this level and he needs to play at a higher level for a long period.

That was a hec of a game.  Reckon i mightve had a hand in his form this season after i gave him a bit of a pep talk towards the end of last year!

While Bompt plays for the Bulldogs they'll always be a Premiership threat.  He is a champ for sure.

I assumed you meant uneven placement of the hands, so the ball hits them at different times.

I understand your description, and will look more closely at JVR's method next time.

Excellent start to the weekend. Tmrw I hope Sydney beat Geelong. Only because I hate Geelong that much.

Any weekends a good weekend when Geelong get done but at least we could go ahead of Sydney on the ladder if Geelong win, which the should given Sydney’s injuries list.

I have a sick sense of satisfaction knowing that Jackson has to play for this rabble 😂

We weren't treated respectfully in that deal and was upsetting.

But seeing last night's game , and Luke's inputs, I now have moved on and am sympathetic to him, knowing that last night he saw his future.

Its a shame really because inside an elite club/team (us) he would thrive (cue 2021) and money can't buy that feeling.

Just hope he's happy and content in other ways.

So both us and the Dogs cop the Perth-Adelaide double on a 6 day break.

One side comes out hungry, focused and wasn’t coming home without the 4 points. The other looked as flat as a pancake.

I was surprised when they flew all the way back to Melb after the Eagles game. Logic demanded they fly to  Adelaide on Monday morning set up camp and have a relaxing week with no more travel..Stupid decision to fly back and fly out again. If Bulldogs flew from ADL after r5 straight to Perth theyre smarter than we are.

Thats embarrassing.

We will find out on Monday if we're an elite team. Elite teams dont play like we have recently and will overwhelm the wounded tigers.

Lose and we're back with the pack.

Apparently our players wanted to be back home to family. They even took the red eye flight... 🤦🏻‍♂️

And they served up garbage, so I’m sure they’ve been reminded of that all week.

And add in the fact most of the players clearly have no issues with hubbing, per the 2021 finals series.

I think we clearly missed a trick and the Dogs were smart in reducing their hectic travel schedule as they had a couple of days in Adelaide post game and then flew to Perth at their leisure. Smart.

The Dogs were physically and mentally on. We were physically and mentally off.

Getting my footy fix in a few! Non-MFC, that is. Got a cut lunch, a compass (and my passport 😁) and I’m not too far from Coldstream. Rocking navy and white (feels weird) and I’ll have a choice of Coldstream FC headwear for today courtesy of one of the Fritta fellahs.

GO…….!!!
LOL I don’t even know their nickname 🤭

PS out here in the eastern burbs you don’t have to show your receipt in order to get the maccas staff to unlock the toilet door for you!!! 🤯

PPS: Go the Streamers!

 Carna  Coldy Cougars!

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
