laurie makes smart decisions but he doesn't get involved enough in the play

is he playing back today in the Bowey role?

 

Taking our opportunities in this quarter, JVR, AMW, Woewodin. 

More players getting involved, Dunstan, Laurie, Freeman.

Backline still holding up when GWS are trying hard to get back in the game.

Casey 50 to  GWS 11

Edited by kev martin

 

Laurie turnsover in the backline, leaving an entry and goal for GWS.

Follows up from the centre bounce, with getting the ball, linking to JJ, then JVR who marks in the goal square.

57 to 17

Sounds like Woe is really pushing for AFL debut. Has he been playing pure midfield today?

Tomo also out 

I saw him up here in Alice yesterday


impressive half of footy; could be even further up

8.9.57 to 2.6.18

jj everywhere with 24 and 6 clearances, while woey 2.0 and dunstan have 14, and laurie just behind with 13, munro 12, and turner and howes 11 apiece

goals: woey 2.0 3, jvr, amw 2, jefferson 1

Much better quarter by Laurie

Jefferson went quiet but JVR came into it. A reversal of the first quarter. (Could be they are interchanging but not clear)

He has been on the wing, though pushing up into the half forward area.

A little quiet at times, has quality and composure.

I also think he has 3 goals up to half-time.

The young guy doing special comments is rather good

Lead. Bur agree - I've heard him do Casey a couple of times. Really like his work.

The woman doing special comments, whose name escapes me  but is an AFLW player, is good too.

It makes such a difference to hear decent commentators.

Woey has started the 2nd half on the ball.

Charlie Spargo is similar, but Charlie has the tank to go with it now and I wouldn't be surprised if he's back in the 22 over the next month.

no, still half forward moving up to the wing

The Spargo role by the sounds of it, although I'm not watching the game.


GWS came out strongly in the 3rd, we get a goal against the flow and from a backline effort, Schache goals. GWS has lost that domination, though still trying.

69 to 26

My apologies to the special comments lady. This half they seem to have adjusted the audio and the gender is obvious to my old ears.

Great commentary today

ON AFL website final teams there is no Spargo or Melksham. 2 emergencies still in Alice I hope milk is sub.

 

Melk wet weather specialist should be playing if it is kissing down with rain.

This mistake was made against the Powa in R10.

On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
