Bang Na Demon

Are the premium replays the same quality as the smart replays on the AFL site? Cause the smart replays even at high quality are not great

I ended up writing the number of the quarter directly into the URL i.e. q2 q3 etc, that worked for me

A touch suprised this thread hasn't been reprised yet after watching the Port Dees game. His game really impressed me, not a heap of it but looks very comfortable at this level, makes good decisions and executes well

JKH is way above Kennedy is in terms of decision making and disposal. I watched a couple of games with Kennedy playing and yes, quick(ish), goes hard and very competative but seems rushed, lacks vision and coughs the ball up a lot with vague nothing kicks. Hope he really comes on and proves me wrong !

Not only is he a long kick but sees thing quickly and has nice touch with the short passes too

Rohan is also an Essendon supporter

Slow would be the only knock from those highlights

X2. Hack of the highest order

I just watched the replay and in no way did the umpires affect the outcome, we benefited from some iffy decisions too The free against Watts to Wingard is a free every day of the week and if the teams and decision were reversed I suspect this site would be in meltdown for it not being paid. The well documented lack of composure in the final minutes when we had possession and the lead cost us the game

Not sure why all the hand wringing over the free against Watts at the end of the 3rd. He spoilt the ball cleanly but unfortunately collected Wingard in the face on the follow through. A free every day of the week

Could add Tom McDonald to that list as well

Extremely impressed by the King and very excited for his future A beautiful, fluent kick and despite being an undersized 18yo, looked more likely than Spencer in ruck contests. The agility he showed in the goal he kicked was eye opening for a guy his size

I drove down Punt Rd Tuesday morning and many of the boys were on the track with balls in use

Lets do a swap!

I suspect the rise of Brodie Grundy last year had more to do with his departure than differing opinions with the coach. For the record, in my professional capacity as a photographer I've photographed Buckley and, unlike many AFL footballers I've worked with, found him very approachable and easy to talk to. Confident yes but FIGJAM no.

Having watched his higlights package I agree with the recent comments regarding Freeman's possible short comings . As well as Lennon the players who really impressed me were Luke Dunstan, not quick but makes great decisions and laser like by hand or foot, the other was Chris Cain, quick, clean and two sided

Todd Viney's kicking definitely got better further into his career. Partly that was decision making as he would look to buy as much time possible to get properly balanced before kicking and wouldn't try and get too cute with the kicks

I'll be there!

Thats the impression I got from the Youtube footage of him. He's not what you would call proactive when the ball is in dispute.

I love him. Always trying to make something happen and great evasive skills

Sorry. The most vivid memory I have of the 1988 Grand Final was Steven Stretch, in miles of space on a wing during the first Quarter, spill a simple mark because he heard Dippa's footsteps. It was soft beyond belief.

If Viney is not worth pick 2-4 or thereabouts which considering I've heard the words 'lacks acceleration' assigned to him, he may well not, why not let them have him? We already have Jones, Moloney and Trengove in that catergory

agility is something that can compensate for speed. Peter Walsh was a great example, his great evasive skills used to buy him time and space and compensate greatly for lack leg speed

If its true he met the indigenous as a group not affording them an individual meeting as the non indigenous players, its is a disgrace and racism of the highest order. I hope its not so.
