I believe the game is called 'foot'ball

My understanding is the aim is to kick the thing between the two white posts yes?

Langford 13 touches, 0.2 at the half

How’s he looked @adonski? 

It's gotta get to some point where we need to seriously review our goal kicking program.

Absolute below par some of the set shorts that are being missed by full time professional athletes both in AFL and VFL.

maybe we should stop playing soccer during training....

Out of interest for those watching, are we missing easy shots or are these tough shots from the flanks/pockets?

I don't get to training so I can't comment but on bigfooty a regular Melbourne supporter who attends said in all the pressure season training he went to, goalkicking practice was completely non existent. 

Yes, the player do it on their own spare time after training but from he was saying there is a no structured training in place for this.

Other than the Yze miss the shots were from around 45 metres including some blazing on the run. Fullerton's two misses were from perhaps 35 on a 45 degree angle.

Percentage wise you could expect at least another 3-4 goals

i attended a training last week as i was in melb for the f1 they were playing soccer for the most part of training, via social media posts and photos it looks like they do quite regularly. maybe instead they should just focus on goal kicking, it isnt to far fetched to say that we probably would have an extra cup or two to show for if improved our goal kicking 22' and 23'

Pretty good without dominating

His best work has been in link up play between the arcs where he has found space and used the footy well in transition

Had 2 shots on goal in the first quarter, one long bomb from 55 and a second from a set shot inside 50 where he missed both

Has played pretty much exclusively as an inside mid from what I can tell but you miss stuff with the dodgy camera work

Casey 2 goals 8

Probably should be 5:5

Bonner getting a lot of the ball

Expected score?

Kynan Brown with the massive brain fade 

Billings another turn over with a long bomb 🫣

Tom Fullarton goals and the scores are level 

Fullerton.. a nice mark on the lead... 30 metres out directly in front

GOAL

our entire skill level needs to be reviewed

i get that choc is important for our 'culture set' but he has not improved our skills at all

Langford his first goal as a Dee, set shot from 45 (free kick)

Would have been interesting to see Roy George today

Langford goals from 40

Just now, whatwhat say what said:

he types, right as langford fades one right to left, superb kick

No advantage rule in VFL??

Lucky Harvey kicked straight. 

Harvey’s first goal for the Demons. 5.14.42 to 5.6.36.

I've read that on this site too. They practise all the speccy shots, on their own time.

 

They need to have organised practice of simple shots. The speccies can look after themselves.
