picket fence

Daniher DUD! Treloar found out!

Umpires keeping Dishlickers in the game absolutely DISGRACEFUL umpiring

Im telling you I could not and out of ANY team in the AFL JEELONG are my most Despised

Not meant to be an indictment Jontee , in fact if you read between the lines and in subsequent reports I was very happy and saw discernable improvements in training quality, execution of skills, drills replicating real game scenarios and professional coaching and training standards by the players

ROSE TATTOO "WE CANT BE BEATEN"

As we have a bye to assess our strategies and planning for next week, I revisited one of my earlier training reports ( Feb 12 ) to see how the seeds planted are ready to bear a remarkable fruit in Finals 2021.I reprint for those of you who might have missed it Cheers PF ORIGINALLY POSTED 12TH FEB Ventured to Casey this morning to find the arena "bathed" in light. Thinking I might have stumbled on part two of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, I was somewhat intrigued to see that the lights at Casey had in fact been turned on!! Warmups consisted more or less of similar to last Friday, before segueing into a full scale practice match between the navy blues and the royal blues. Unless you knew the numbers, the colors were somewhat indistinguishable! Here is my report. NO SHOWS, VINEY, KOSSIE, BEN BROWN, HIBBO, JOEL SMITH??? There might have been others but being outside the ground again made it difficult to distinguish LIMITED DUTIES MITCH BROWN, SPARGO, GUS , MELKSHAM MATCH REPORT The match ups were interesting with the navy blues containing what I believe to be the probables against the possibles, although having said that players who made up most of last year’s list were sprinkled between the two sides. RANDOM HIGHLIGHTS AND A FEW LOW ONES AS WELL Game split into 4 about 15-20 min quarters, stiff wind blowing northerly away from the city, umpires were AFL list, I hink. Trent Rivers played well across HBF and has become more at home and composed with the footy. Ed Langdon was all over it on the wing and won possession after possession. Harry Petty was played down back and whilst he did a few nice things, was not noticeable. James Jordan has skills and played well in a variety of roles. Vanders was back and was involved in a few bone jarring tackles and was his usual imposing self. At one stage Max took umbrage to his fierce tackling and let him know about it. Clayton "Minestrone" Oliver was in everything and was the catalyst to so many clearances. His disposal was crisp and clean. It was between Max, Langdon and for BOG. The name "Minestrone" for me conjures up the fact that in one you get everything ... That was choo choo today! L.J WOW ... has he come of age? Took marks, kicked three goals, rucked, roved and was a catalyst - is ready to impose this year! Harmes played ON BALL resting on a half forward flank and was back to his best. Expect to see him more in midfield this year. Bailey Laurie and Jake Bowey - take a bow recruiting team led by team Jason Taylor. Both are quick, decisive with hand and foot and both are excitment machines destined to play early this year, probably Bailey Laurie more so at this stage. Fraser "The Freak" Rosman, WOW, Today took the MOTD and also kicked TGOTD. Was instrumental in some set ups and will play early. Faded towards the end but ... is exciting. Trac just cannot be tackled he is soooo elusive just reminds me of myself in my heyday LOL ... Played like he did last year. Tom McDonald was quiet early (matched up against Steve May) but kicked 2 or 3 good goals. Similar to last week where I singled out Chunky Jones, today it was NEV JETTA'S turn to wind back the clock with a really good display down back. Fritta was fritta laconic BUT dangerous. Max did as he liked and whilst this is good please God if he or Clarry gets injured >>>>> ? Others to impress were Aaron Nietschke, will be a formidable ruckman, Jay Lockhart, Toby Bedford, Kade Chandler and Aaron Bradke, Hunt was busy of the hbf and Chunky decisive POSITIVES As above, plus plenty of endeavour skills seemed better under pressure and players looking for smart options, we should have plenty of scope for multi options and a very strong second tier who are sure to put pressure on for game day spots in the ones. NEGATIVES We still have issues with kick out strategies. other teams seem to be able to do this at will but we struggle and a few times played on only to bomb hopefully. we stiil will over rely on our core group , but i can see visible narrowing of superstars and next tier. Hitting targets under pressure needs to be the focus No slitherers seen today thankfully Cheers PF

Agree wholeheartedly

Umpires so clearly Love Heelong

Rowan loves himself

Time for GWS TO HURT A FEW

Umpires giving dubious frees left right and centre to Jeelong but GWS are embarrasingly inept

And Cameron and especially Rowan

GWS goooorn no forwards hope Toby Greene feels shizeen

Anyone think Dawkings is in trouble for a head high hit??

Mummy just belt a few!

Yep a real Homer Simpson moment!

Saw him in Richmond a few years ago with a compression bandage around his troublesome calf. I said gday hows it going and he gave me the time of day and engaged in convo and i thought then nice bloke. Played 100 games at elite level which us 100 more than I played. GOOD LUCK Dom!

GOOD

Looking more likely that he will be medical supersub in at least one if not two remaining games

Coz he and GWS KNOW he will end up with 6-8 and they do not want any further destabilization and disruption to a finals campaign already comprimised by his actions

5 or 6? Until we win a premiership it could be called the Neeld curse!

You are missing 1 vital piece of information.. You actually need to have a brain before being able to have it fade. Take the point regarding bread and butter. Gaff looked totally mortified with what he had done. The other still has no remorse and never will learn. EVER

Dont want to see him at all ! 22 odd charges, Needs to find another sport!

In fact any comparison to Jimmy Toumpas means a solid NO! Definately would do Weeds for Maynard and then start playing and developing Joel Smith AS A FORWARD

Should have been 4 weeks plus 25 grand! What an absolute Muppet!! PLUS a 2 match susoended sentence for any other guilty verdict on top of what he would get for ANY proven offence in next 2 years. 23 CHARGES 23 guy will NEVER learn
