I believe the game is called 'foot'ball

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

Bill Laurie pulled from the match to be taken to Marvel as an emergency 

 

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.

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'

How’s he looked @adonski

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

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

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.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
