Dee Viney Intervention

Full credit to the girls and thoroughly deserved. They are great ambassadors for our club. With the outs I thought they were up against it but should have known better than to doubt the character of this team and I won’t so I’m calling it now it’s HOO ROO to the Roo’s.There are not enough superlatives to describe Kate Hore the footballer.

Simply need more from more for longer to get the win. Goldy back is a good in but will miss Zanker and Chaplin again. Can’t rely on Hore to be your main score source and midfield clearance source. Need to win the midfield battle and hope for big games from Harris, Wotherspoon (who has been very good). Gall needs to step up and Bannan needs a rocket for us to be any chance in this one. Hope I’m wrong but I think the crows will be a bit too good in this one.

Good Analysis but not many surprises. But [censored] me I have never seen a ceiling fan spin so fast.

Hope we go mids this year but next year would love Wil Malady as a forward. Will give King a year to bed in game plan then time to cull forwards that aren’t up to it and find and develop replacements for Melksham and Chekkers.

I’m all for Paddy the Baddy’s UFC walk out song Failing that one way ticket to hell and back by the Darkness

6/ Hore 5/ McNamara 4/ Gillard 3/ Wotherspoon Genuinely can’t do a 2/ and a 1/ too many cameo performances only. Herein lies the problem. Not enough four quarter contributions, need more support.

His younger brother Corey plays as a midfielder. Slightly taller than Tairon at same age but not as thick set in build.

I hope the club has been on the phone seeking clarity around Zanker’s availability this morning. Obviously her wellbeing is the number one priority especially in light of what happened to the Storm player while on national duty for Tonga.

Be interested to know who our strength and conditioning coach is. Brisbane look yards quicker and covered the ground so much better. We look like we were running in quicksand. Bannan has lost yards of pace. Other players we recruited because of their athletic profile look anything but athletic. In previous seasons we have had speed and could go the distance but were not as physically strong as your Crows, Lions and Roos. Have we focussed on bulking too much. To me we look unfit.

Stinnear needs to even up the numbers in our forward line.

If it’s ANY small forward. The only IF is IF we don’t draft one we are being borderline negligent.

No Dove No Love

6/ Hanks 5/ Heath 4/ Zanker 3/ Wotherspoon 2/ Fitzsimmons 1/ Harris Apologies to Hore and Gillard

Tyla Hanks one of the best individual quarters of football that you are likely to see. A star of the game and should be an all Australian.

Look too top heavy with Zanker, Harris and Gall playing forward. Geelong waltzing the ball out. Forwards need to play in front, talls need to crash packs and get ball to ground. Geelong look up for it but should drop off as the game goes.

With a vision of King’s game plan and with the introduction of new rules where the AFL are hell bent on speeding up the game. Combined with list need I have a wish list of Pick 7 Grlj / O Taylor Pick 8 Dovaston We need to focus on players who use the ball well, the raw speed and agility a huge asset with scope to go through the midfield in time. All players can defend but it’s the offence that they can generate which excites me and would fit into our side and help us impact the scoreboard significantly.

Think I’d rather get wet than stand under an umbrella with someone called Slarti-fart.

This constant linking Melbourne with Key Forwards is lazy journalism. Do some research.

Have to trust JT here. I think we have a real need for a small forward. Have to decide who is the best small forward Dovaston or Sumner - Pickett. This aint Mills and Boon. No time for romance. Then come up with a plan to make it happen.

All clubs do it including Melbourne. Children that are registered players in an AFL South East Competition which include Frankston and District Juniors, Mornington Peninsula Juniors and South East Juniors can get a membership of either Melbourne or St.kilda as part of their zones. I get one for my daughter but she is also a paid member as well.

Any danger we could focus on incorrect disposal

Couldn’t agree more. The only type of forward we need is one who’s mother was a pack a day smoker and stunted his growth. We also need that connector upfield that can hit that most important kick in football, the kick into the forward 50. Hope we get Dovaston very creative by foot and hand with a good work rate and gets to the right spots. I really like his soft hands, nicely weighted handballs to the advantage of a teammate. Nothing like the rockets that we fire at the feet.

Agree again. At very worst had to be a ball up. Umpires don’t have a feel for the game or game sense. There is a massive drop off in umpiring standard from AFL to AFLW and VFL. Massive swing in interpretation and implementation of the holding the ball rule last night from every round so far this season. Players had an eternity to get rid of it last night, I also question the legality of how Brisbane were also getting rid of the ball. Overall I do think Brisbane were better for longer last night and was probably the right result. Their inaccuracy left the door ajar.

Agree Liv Purcell is a massive loss. Now means that Hore needs to spend more time in the midfield, she is that sniper around goal. Beasley back may help or get Mackin in there.
