SEN interview with Josh Mahoney

Featured Replies

Firstly Josh Mahoney comes across as an extremely intelligent and well spoken person. Here's a summary of responses to the player related questions:

I've been impressed by a few players that I didn't know much about, being Colin Garland, James Frawley and Buckley.

Brock McLean, Nathan Jones and Brad Miller have the best work ethic.

Ricky Petterd is currently at 75%, and will join in full training shortly.

Aaron Davey will have short bursts in the midfield.

Fairly typical SEN Morning Glory interview. You don't get much!

Probably explains why Miller has made it back into the leadership group despite the protestations of some outsiders.

His comments about Miller having a strong work ethic, certainly explains how he could poll well in the leadership voting during preaseason.

It's exciting to hear about two of our developing key position players impressing .....These guys are like finding Gold and finding them has been a long time coming

Thanks Mo.

I thing Garland could be a real improver this year. He showed some glimpes of real class at Sandringham last season. From all reports he's really stacked on some muscle and is training the house down. Don't be surprised if he is a walk up start in our best 22 by the end of the season.

And where do you think he will play from what you have seen/ heard?

He's a goal kicker so I'd like to see him up forward but a forward line with Neitz, Newton, Robertson and Garland seems abit top heavy so I'm not sure.

Perhaps that is a sacrafice that they need to make in order to blood a replacement/s for Neitz.

Although, any experience in the backline this year should serve as a good apprenticeship for a future career in the forwardline. From what I have seen, he is reasonably capable below his knees aswell

For what it is worth, he is my tip for the biggest improver this year.

Heard Buckley's name mentioned in a few of these off-season reports as one who has been impressing. Let's hope he can take a step up this season and cement his place in the 22 and give us a bit of pace and run through the midfield.

Garland is an interesting one can't say I was overly impressed with anything I saw last season but that's to be expected I guess as he gets a feel for it at the highest level, I to would like to see him played up forward rather than down back this year.

 

One Garland, put him down back for a couple of years, get a good defensive side to his game and then put him up forward

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
