Can someone please explain why you play on from the centre at pace and then kick to 3 on one opposition and the other forwards no where near it?

Sandy have the goal scoring end five straight

AMW 12 disposals not a kick in in sight. Paddy Cross closes the gap.

Moniz prolific ... ends up with Bill who hits Sesto lace out on the lead.

Sesto hits a shorty to Windsor who goes back amd misses from 30 in front

Sandy by 2 points

Casey ball movement looking the best it has all year.

Casey a competitive quarter, inaccuracy for goal denies them the lead.

Entertaining footy. 

Laurie, AMW, Tholstrup all excellent. Billings using it well, K Brown had some impressive early touches. Jefferson showing that he's capable at ground level and not just reliant on his marking. Sestan got more involved as the quarter wore on and looks dangerous inside 50.

Surely AMW gets a promotion soon. His tackling is good.  Won some good contested footy too.

Inability to get clean possession inside 50 hasn't helped. Sandringham much better going inside 50

Casey would positively lead the i50 count. Sandy cleaner more efficient.

Yes they often miss lateral or 45 options but it's also a result of some forwards not working hard enough (repeat efforts) to hit up at the ball carrier.

This same thing purveys alot when players are bursting out of stoppage through the middle or off a wing. 

The leads from designated forwards often go missing.  They are somehow expecting fatigued player to kick it over the head of their defender as they run away from them towards goal.

Alternatively a player at stoppage receiving or gathering under pressure then having to dump kick.  Often forwards sit back in this situation allowing their direct opponent or a spare to play in front for the easy intercept.

See this quite often at senior level too.

One of my bug bears.  Very frustrating to watch.

Their transition has been quicker / slicker on occasions too giving them nice looks inside 50

Edwards having a decent game so far.

Hits up Benny who then decides not to shoot at goal from 50 and returns the favour to Edwards who misses from 35 on a 45

Agree, but one can see you have no forwards present but they just kick without understanding they need to hold it up till the forwards get back it's just playing on for the sake of it, it's bad coaching full stop.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
