    Casey Scorpions v Geelong

    in Melbourne Demons

    Posted

    Meanwhile, some things don't change no matter what level you play at. Sorry to say, but he will most likely be the first (?) AFL listed player to be delisted by the same coach at two different clubs. Hope he doesn't take it personally:

    Dean Terlich: Terls played his role on the weekend. He had 18 possessions, four tackles and tackled at 100 per cent, which is something we focus on. He played in that small defender role and kept his opponent in check, but made a couple of costly turnovers. But from a defensive point of view and role point of view, he did what was required.

    I was at the game. Boy, was it cold; I think I am still recovering.

    Terlich's disposal was vintage Terls. He would do better to always take the first option and not run himself into trouble and then require a disposal that is beyond his capabilities to recover from.

    74.9 REASONS TO BACK LYNDEN'S TORPS

    The torp should be allowed but used sparingly as a surprise tactic. As for risk, I say any kick out is high risk. Always has been due to the error factor. Our predictability from kick outs has been a long standing problem though there has been vast improvement recently.

    A surprise tactic would be for us to kick it down the left for once.

    Casey Scorpions v Coburg

    Judging from your comments and those of KC during the season, it seems that King, Harmes and White are all pushing for elevation to join Vanders as replacement for Petracca/Trengrove who are both on the LTI List. Who would you suggest (and why) based on MFC's needs?

    I've seen Casey for the last two weeks. If we were to upgrade another rookie, there is no doubt it would be Harmes.

    I dropped out to Casey today because my tennis team had a bye. It was a strange day - no wind, not even a zephyr, the sun was shining; a very strange day at Casey!

    Harmes was very good, in and under and got some vey important centre clearances late in the game.

    King was quite impressive. I am intrigued with him. Forwards need to kick goals, not get a mountain of possessions. I would have put King in the best because of this. From memory, at least three of the goals came from contested marks. Another came from work on the ground that a 200cm player should be well proud of.

    M Jones was ok, no more. Casey we're getting smashed in the centre clearances when he was in there early in the last.

    Newton was ok.

    Dawes was Dawes. Concrete hands, for the most part.

    Bail was good. Bail is a VFL+ player and will always excel at this level. Unfortunately, he is an AFL- player.

    Jamar and Spencer were the two best big men on the ground. Coburg eventually gave up competing in the ruck and concentrated in sharking the opposition hit outs, to good effect.

    OMac continued his good work.

    Interlock-Kongwak play in the same league as Kilcunda-Bass. They are the reason I support Melbourne. When I was a kid, they had their own jumpers, darkish green with a red V. When I was about 8, they changed to Melbourne jumpers. As we lived on a dairy farm, we only ever went to local footy matches and followed IK.

    When I came to Caulfield Grammar as a boarder, I was asked which VFL team I supported. The answer was none but I selected Melbourne because of the colours.
