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!

    THE HEAT IS ON by Meggs

    FNQ will be hot and sultry this Thursday night when the mighty Demons take on the highflying Hawks at up there Cazalys Stadium in Cairns.   The Demons once again rebrand for Indigenous Round as ‘Narrm’, the Woi Wurrung name for Melbourne in the language of the traditional owners.   Narrm has surged back up the ladder and sits just outside the eight on percentage with 5 wins. Our opponents Hawthorn sit second with 8 wins and have been become really offensive.

    2024 Player Reviews: #50 Ben Brown

    Coming to Melbourne after seven years as a leading goal kicker at North Melbourne, Brown was well known for his unique, extremely long run up on set shots for goal. After some early setbacks injury wise settled into the full forward position in time to play a big role in the 2021 premiership win with three goals. Unfortunately, the remainder of his time at the club was hampered by injury including the need to undergo knee surgery. He retired from playing football at the end of the season after 4

    Brown, the son of former Demon hard nut Nathan Brown, made a couple of cameo appearances as a substitute which included a brilliant run down tackle which may have saved the game against the Kangaroos. Had some outstanding games at VFL level and finished equal sixth in the best & fairest at Casey.

    AWESOME FOURSOME by Meggs

    The rejuvenated Demons out tussled the Tigers by 13 points to make it four wins on the trot on Saturday which means that the slight possibility of a finals appearance remains alive in 2024. This is despite the AFLW handicapping the Demons against their peers yet again (more later). Lots to celebrate as it was Kids Day at Casey Fields and both teams ran onto the ground modelling their Pride jumpers.   Kate Hore won the toss and kicked to the Clyde end. Thankfully, the notorious Casey

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind.

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 03

    Part 3: Happier Days by Whispering Jack It would be fair to say that when the Melbourne Football Club entered the free agency and trade period earlier this month, its reputation was flagging, if not in tatters. The club was taking a battering in the media and social media over a number of issues, some real and others imaginary and even fabricated, relating to the running of the club, team performance and its culture, a build up that’s been taking place for more than twelve months.
