Agreed. A lot of the new recruits always are looking to do team things and give it off. Sometimes they need to trust their gut. 

And again - Id love to see him just go for the snap inside 50.

    Caleb Lewis is a 196cm prospect from VFL Footscray VFL who formerly was with the Sandringham Dragons.

    He played at St Bedes and Bevo stole him late in the season for the Dogs VFL team. The kick can seriously play.

    AMW sets up a goal for Schache. But Tomlinson is the one who put on the pressure, kept it in and got it out.

    Casey regained a little momentum in the second half of the quarter. Plenty of possessions from hardworking Campbell Hustwaite who had nine touches for the term. Some very good promise from Tholstrop.

    Moniz-Wakefield having an excellent 2nd quarter. 

    He backs himself in and takes the game on.

    defense

    a couple of marks, a couple of turnovers, and no second efforts

    Both he and Adams are a serious concern at this stage - really should be showing more

    A “better” quarter. 
    the defence is holding up in a tough game. Tomlinson + Jefferson + Adams are getting to contests and not being beaten. But it’s a lot of inside 50s and each time we rebound it’s a turnover or spoil. AMW had a great quarter and looks very good behind the ball. 
     

    mids are being smashed. Clearance work is terrible and they don’t really know how to play together by the looks of it. Kolt is having a good first game and is playing the role he is being asked, but it would be good to see him to be a bit more selfish. Woey playing better but needs more runners. K Brown again ok for his first season but again needs more forwards to kick to. Laurie is ok but not sure what he is offering as a mid. 
     

    forwards are not seeing much of it but Lewis looks a player. Schache doing what he does at this level and looks good. 
     

    verrell being beaten by someone bigger in Meek but working hard. KFW still a while away. Fullerton has been ok, but I thought he’d be more involved around the ball. 
     

    Tomlinson best on for me, followed by Kolt, then Woey. I’m feeling better about Jefferson after that quarter.

    AMW shows a bit but his disposal is not good enough. 

    Disappointing half by Woewodin, with too many mistakes. He needs to get stronger and cleaner.

    Brown is a clever player. But is too small for AFL at the moment. 

    Jefferson shows no AFL qualities. 

    Tholstrup does some good things but not enough. 

    Laurie is a good ordinary VFL player.

    Schache played a decent half but doesn’t have the competitive spirit to play as a forward in the AFL.

    Is love to hear from someone at the game. From the tv, I wonder if they are zoning and playing the system like we’ve taught them? So that’s why Jefferson goes for some contests and others he runs back to the goal line. Adams comes forward to attack a contest and then runs back. Whatever Goody said to them at quarter time, they’ve changed something in the set up and he’s got AMW much more involved.

    looks like he’s ready to take a step up to me.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
