The Brody Mihocek Thread

Really don’t understand why people are against bringing in Mihocek

He’s been playing through a foot injury the last third of the season

If Pies weren’t in finals he likely wouldn’t have been playing at all

Get that right over preseason and at minimum he’ll be a serviceable tall forward for us next year

And if that’s a low bar - it’s because we haven’t had anything close to a serviceable tall forward since Ben Brown

We’re crying out for someone to lead and provide structure to our forward line, while also helping the development of JVR, Jefferson etc

He’ll cost us nothing and will give us cover for a few years

    Posters have been moaning about the fact we haven’t brought in a forward over the last few years (not through lack of trying ), now we’re linked with a forward and most of DL be like why this bloke. Someone even brought Jacob Koschitzke up as an option, eesh.

    Club can’t win.

    Well a 33 year old, pretty banged up, 192 cm forward is not my first option as a tall forward.

    Another poster suggested McVee to the Eagles for Jobe Shanahan, in some sort of deal. Maybe we throw in Laurie, who would get a game in the Eagles midfield at the moment.

    I would do that deal.

    Played roughly 20 games a year since 2018, that’s not banged up to me. People were bagging the club for not going after Tex and Tom Lynch and the latter is more banged up than anyone.

    And you have a lot faith in Laurie, it’s admirable.

    playing with a torn tendonin his toe ( I believe)

    Which is not only painful, but if bad enough requires surgery, don't rule out news he has gone in for sugery! Having said that I think he would be a very good recruit!

    A player like Mihocek needs respect by opponents defence. This provides opportunities for developing forwards.

    I’m not sure he really will, certainly no key backs will be sweating the Mihocek match up, but what he does do is:

    1. Run hard and to the right spots, giving the other tall/s space to work

    2. Busts his tail defensively and is a great tackler

    I think as a mentor/competition for JVR and Jeffo there’s merit to it. Doesn’t solve our need for a real main guy to. Or possibly our need for the kind of quality role playing tall - Shannon Neale at Geelong is amazing to watch - so little disposals and talent but makes a big impact.

    Mihocek acquisition is more about providing support and education to JVR and perhaps Jeffo. JVR will be much better with another decent tall in the team and means he doesnt get too banged up early in his career

    Lions somehow find & develop young key forwards vs us targeting older 32 yo & trying to get Daniher out of retirement

    This is exactly the point.

    West Coast would laugh at you. They know what they have with Jobe and he recently re-signed a contract extension.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
