picket fence

Your joking right? Which 5?

Yep definitely Carltank Putrid Gwibbs, Murphy, Judd, Jones were abysmal ! another 4 you say?? Sheeit worrying for channel 7 and the League!

Of course perennial Cellar Dwellars Frankston are just a marvellous footy side as well!

Yeah wouldn't it!??

ANND by Gee Casey have played some "Quality" opponents eh?

Riley Better still The real HULK HOGAN would be a better bet!!

MAYBEE?? a BLOODY BIG ENORMOUS MAYBEE!! So playing the shockers with 17 men!? Great strategy

I MEAN REALLY!!!??? Jordy ?? sheeit !!

The most backward step since John "Diamond Jim Tillbrook" was banished to the reserves playing... Full Back! FFS REALLY!??

You are joking " A defensive Forward"??? Sheeeit I would rather be bold try to kick a winning score and go out and have a dip! Jordy as a defensive forward what a waste!! Jordy should play out the year at Casey! Harsh but his skill level is deplorable! Remind me again why he was put on an extended contract! Just ask yourself , how many other clubs would he get a game with?? Nup Nup and NO!

Well Vanderthing, Michie, and Newton are "Shoe ins" I reckon Pedo might well be the other!

Ok I'll change tack. Cost us a fortune, Cited reasons for leaving, we got bugger all out of him for money spent! Ok Karma ..... as Forest Gump said "Happens"

On another forum I predicted the possibility of Stretch being "Blooded" But was howled down by some! Not against this action!

I would go with this B: Cross Dunn Salem HB: Garland Tom Mc GRIMES C: Lumumba Vince Newton HF: vandenberg Dawes Howe F: Garlett Hoges Watts Ru: Jamar N.Jones Michie Int: TERLICH, RILEY Brayshaw, JKH (sub) With Jetta, Kent and probably Tyson all out injured. It appears that Grimes could play in the back half , thus releasing Howe to play forward, Riley comes in for a bit of toughness around the ball, Terlich might start on the ground minding a small forward in a lock down role ( possibly Ballantyne) I wouldn't ordinarily play him but he has got pace! That's my take Jordy( Nup) Bail (No but possibly concussed from last week anyway) Toumpas (No not ready) Others (...) insert for a variety of reasons not this game we need a some grunt and pace I think I have addressed like for like in changes?

RILEY RILEY AND RILEY!! Until Toumpas displays an appetite for the contest and gets 3 BOG at Casey he shouldn't get a Gig!

And back to the issue, Racial vilification in any way is extremely abhorant!

And every reason to be concerned!!

Alistair Clarkson is a Senior AFL Coach. As I said READ MY COMMENTS 1 The AFL need to ensure spectators do not go anywhere near coaches at any stage! 2 He has shown himself before to be not able to control himself when things are not going his way! He needs to be beyond that as a role model he owes it to himself, his club and the league! He cannot seem to do this!! As for the "Angry little man" well he aint exactly tall! As for dumb comments doesn't matter what size you are pal your comments are the dumbest!

Yet another overreaction from an angry little man! Brings up two issues! 1 Protection of coaches to and from arena and ground 2 The again out of control coach who seemingly cannot control his temper!

Read the possible inns! Stretch to continue blooding youth AND RILEY WHO HAS A BIG BODY! You don't want a slow turnover king and a soft outsider vs Freo! Blood Stretch, use him as your outside run he's been going orright at Casey! Bigger Idiot!

So you want to stuff up the momentum bringing these two in?? Nup Time to keep blooding youth Stretch and one of either Riley or Bail depending on who plays well at Casey!

I thought Jack Watts was very good last night and I took time to watch him closely. I thought his appetite for the ball very good! Well done Jacky Boy!

Ah hindsight, a great modality! Agree Boundary line goal was a ripper! Amazing what an assured deliberate practiced routine will do! Roosy probably would want to thank me for providing his coaching staff with a Biomechanical analysis which proved amazingly successful last night! Well Done Jesse! Don't let em mess with what was a great goal kicking strategy/ style last night! Uncomplicated, Assured and ultimately last night successful

White has a raking left foot with exquisite placement ! Easily will be one to watch!

Interesting , I started this thread because in my opinion I have noticed that his approach when running in for a set shot is not fluid. As I was from a Physical Education Background, I can reveal that there are several aspects to the biomechanics of kicking a footy. It is irrelevant whether it is a set shot for goal or a fieldkick. Both actions should be the same but for many players they are not! For those who care to delve further, please read on. Before analysing the drop punt as a biomechanical breakdown, some time must be awarded to a particular factor associated with a set shot which is unlike the drop punt used in play for example an on the run pass. Unlike most drop punts used in the game of AFL, the set shot which is only awarded to the player by the umpire if they have taken a mark or received a free kick close enough to goal to convert. The set shot offers the player the time (30secs) required and the space (10m) from any other player to perform, the perfect kick albeit under pressure from opposing players, the crowd and the situation. Speed, velocity and acceleration are used in a linear motion as the player uses a run up approach to perform the kick. Using a run up on a set shot is popular among footballers and has been for some time to build up forward momentum that can be transferred into the kicking style making the ball travel further and with more control over the kicks accuracy provided the players sequence of technique ensures a sound balanced approach, ball drop and follow through. Matthew Lloyd, considered one of the best set shot kicks at goal of all time, angled out slightly in his approach, importantly though he took three straightened steps before the kick to enable him to balance his kicking technique resulting in him running in a straight line as he kicked the ball. Some of the other features of Lloyd’s kick were the consistency of his routine and his technique (Ball, 2011). Other players who regularly play these forward positions sometimes use a curved approach but this leads to greater side to side errors in the kick. Technique The sequential movement of kicking the ball accurately for goal by the athlete is called technique. Players who are able to regularly achieve successful outcomes of the kicking motion will often have sound technique (Ball, 2008). Understanding the key essential biomechanical principals that are involved is essential to achieving such sound technique that allow for consistent performance and results. A good technique is also often the result of fluent timing allowing for proper balance, distribution of power, a large range of motion, keeping your head still and dropping the ball correctly. The fluent and efficient use of timing with all these factors is extremely important to the kinetic link principle as the correct sequencing results in maximum velocity of foot impact. Early or late segments will reduce foot velocity resulting in a potential poor performance of the kick. There are several things a footballer can do to improve the accuracy and distance from the kick when kicking a drop punt set shot for goal. Power, range of motion, balance and technique are the major factors in kicking accurately for goal in a game. Players can work on either reducing or shifting the mass in their legs in order to increase the power produced, this can be done by use of strengthening and conditioning exercises concentrated on large and small muscle groups in the athlete’s leg. They can also use flexibility exercises to increase the range of motion in the hips which allows the force produced in the leg swing phase to be applied over a longer time increasing the power produced. Improving core strength will help to produce balance and ensure the power being transferred into the ball is maximised. The final thing a player can do is continually practice. Just like any other skill, practice and continuous exposure to the skill acquisition process is an athlete’s best opportunity to improve. Ball, K. (2008).

I believe we do have a potential champion on our hands and I hope that what I witnessed recently is JUST an aberration. I'm sure the club will take steps to rectify his action if it deems it necessary! I, too think he will kick multiple goals particularly if he gets good supply and has a tried and trusted kicking action which will serve him well for the rest of his career!
