I agree his highlight reel isn’t getting me high hopefully I can’t get a better buzz in 23

I’d like your assessment of this guys chance and MFC interest. https://www.afl.com.au/video/772173/mid-season-draft-prospect-liam-reidy?videoId=772173&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1651240800001 He isn’t a basketball player who might play football. He is a footballer who plays basketball as well. He played with my son at East Brighton so I’ve seen him play and he is a forward first who is rucking at Frankston because they need a ruck. He is a natural footballer not a project athlete with a quality left foot kick. https://frankstonfc.com.au/dolphins-quartet-re-commit-for-2022/ At 203 cms / 98 kegs at 22 he is probably still growing.

Get Liam Reidy 204 cm fwd ruck https://www.codesports.com.au/afl/afl-midseason-draft-why-frankston-vfl-ruckman-liam-reidy-is-making-a-strong-case/news-story/9fc7fb9083def1d0ce1d32aed7f569ae?nk=8b013701008637e0d2737a774d950ae3-1665353302

Liam reidy is worth a look my son played bball with him and I’ve seen him play he has a beautiful left foot field kick is 204 cm and is a fwd ruck https://frankstonfc.com.au/round-21-match-report-frankston-vs-port-melbourne-etu-stadium/ Liam Reidy had 3 goals, 27 hit outs and 116 fantasy points. he is understood to be looking at a move to Adelaide having not been picked up by an AFL club played junior at Brighton east so he will fit right in with the picnic rug and hamper set

Good summary I add we don’t have a fit centre half forward Petracca is out of form Salem (better last night) has been or or sub par

It’s a worthy discussion being abusive is unnecessary

Just reviewing things with 49 seconds to go we are one goal up. Trac gets the dribbler - two goals up. Sparrow the bomb off one step from outside 50. 3 goals up Oliver on the run Bang 4 goals up The signs were there that we had the run - Langdon and Brayshaw on the outside, ANB and Brown in the middle Daniel's grubber later resulted in Brayshaw marking the kick from Bowey. How deflating for the dogs and inspirational for the Dees to go into the 3 quarter huddle after bangin on 3 in quick succession

As if my heart wont be pumping hard anyway

Got this cheers!

“If you’re on 10 on your amp where can you go from there?” Amp. goes to 11 (This is Spinal Tap) - Bing video – the answer was 11. It seems our football commentators are channeling Nigel Tufnel and or the Fonz. Please forgive this boomer pedantry but I can’t stand this commentary cleverness arms race. Here are my nominations for annoying commentary overreach. 5 April Fox Melb vs GWS – “buzzing around like a mossy – Kozzy!” Kelli Underwood 18 April Melb vs GWS (?) – “with Grace - Kelly!” - Anthony Hudson – Josh Kelly goal 18 April Melb vs GWS – “slick kick, slick hair that’s why they call him slick Fritsch” – Kelli Underwood - do they? 25 April Melb vs Rich – “a millimetre either way and it was out of bounds on the full” Luke Darcy ANB set shot from the boundary line which went through the middle – actually a millimetre either way and it was easily still a goal 1 August Melb v GC – “a piece of football artistry” Kelli Underwood – GC player kicks ball in the air for a goal from half a metre out 1 August Melb vs GC – “he’s enjoying himself to the Max” – Kelli Underwood – Max Gawn kicks a goal 1 August Melb vs GC – “ Kozzie’s pickin them apart” – Kelli Underwood – Pickett kicks a goal ..and the winner is Kelli Underwood!

I dont get flat from loads - dont other teams have loads as well or dont we have enough midfield depth? It wasnt long ago we were thought to be overblessed with mids.

Footy Show today Cain Cornes says we don't have a compelling forward line - we cant kick a decent score which is my proposition in this thread. I got howled down at the time but the question remains - do we have enough forward talent to win in September?

I’m with you that weed is a doubt to make it Ellis (?) kicked 6 is only 20 with 4 games so special day Agree weed not impressive

Agree with that - good kick good size and finds the ball more than Rosman

A lot of them were cheap joe the goose / out numbers in the goal square. I dont think it marks him as a gun fwd To be fair to Weed he was also rucking against Lobbe and Buzzer guys much bigger than him

about time

At least hunt tried to win it for us he just doesn’t have the tools better to try and fail than to not try at all

It’s like our team is the only one with “niggles”.

No I haven't because he is an option at wing and petty is performing in the backline

it will be interesting to see who plays wing at Casey between Baker, Rosman and DeClase. It may indicate DeClase is more a cover in defense than a wing option given Tomlinson, Langdon, Brayshaw etc as well as Baker and Rosman. If however DeClase plays wing it might indicate a lack of confidence in Baker / Rosman as backups for Langdon, Brayshaw

I think Bedford is cover for Messiah and Spartacus

Perhaps we should be more worried if Troy Chaplin stepped down based on what Gawn, Brayshaw and TMac said to the press after the Brisbane game? He is credited over the last 4 years as having banged on about defence as the ball moves from our forward to defense areas. That pressure contributes significantly to our interceptions in defence as the ball comes in under pressure without good direction. Players have said basically that they are finally "getting" what Chaplin has been saying. See 2:44 below and the question from Lloyd referencing Troy...

Our defence gets interceptions because of fwd mid pressure which isn’t there tonight fix that

Not a sycophant perhaps but call a spade a spade fan boy
