I believe the game is called 'foot'ball

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

    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'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: 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
