Verrall has a very bright future. 

only 20yo! and 200cm

promising indeed

I understand Moniz has probably been asked to learn some defensive aspects of the game but surely he should be up forward most of the time?

Where else are the goals coming from at ground level on a regular basis?

There's my answer... The Shack! 😅


Is it just me or is Bailey Laurie’s disposal terrible.  Watching this game and he misses targets and with time to consider still bombs long to nothing, with no advantage to Casey and the ball easily rebounds.

Schache showing real endeavor 

 

Turner take a bow son.  Great courage and mark there.

He knows how to be a 'small' forward, Goodwin believes in versatility, players able to play more than one position.

As for the injuries, he is still growing and his body complains now and again.


Josh Shackie showing the requisite physicality has the penny dropped?

Nice shove against Curry not called there.  Then holding the ball after taking on two tacklers and just throwing the ball in the air after.

Yet ump picks out HTM directly in front.  Horrible and got what it deserved... a shocking behind lol

So Moniz kicks out of 50 up the line.... Port player couldve gathered but decides to leave it instead so it goes out.... then the ump calls it intentional haha.  What a joke 

They then kick it back in and score a goal.  The AFL has certainly stuffed the game big time from this side.

He was, then he dropped a very simple mark

No ...the kids are screaming in horror at the unbelievably bad umpiring!

Kynan so clean

Lovely work from Brown dog to fullcream there.  Fab goal from 50 for his first!

I assume it's not just you because there's a lot of Laurie haters here, but his disposal is consistently his strong suit. His next disposal after your comment he laced out schache who dropped it. Every Casey played has had some shockers by foot today. I'm more impressed that with Laurie's defensive endeavour with 11 tackles to half time. His hands in short have been elite as well.

 

Quality of the contest belies the relative ladder position of both sides.

It’s not the Port players job to pick up an intentional out of bounds kick any more than it would be to touch a bull going out of the full.

Been some shockers, but that wasn’t one of them

  • 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.
