LoL... we had better win the flag this year then, 'WJ'.

He hasn't found his fluency in his kicking just yet, at AFL level... but today was better than last week. For him, Its just a mater of feeling more comfortable out there. I'm sure.

And lets remember, he has been messed up during past preseasons with ankle injuries... so hasn't really had big preseasons, for fitness. Again, last preseason (2018), was a shortened preseason for him, Re surgery, and so he had a delayed start to this season.

No. Thats why we fail, when getting almost to the top. When nearly there, we stop trying harder. ease off. see, the treason why we don';t put teams away, the killer instincvt goes eve harder to crush teams. not easae up. Same for our players. Once we adore them,,, don't then soften them... FFS. Tracc, has a mountain to climb yet, in improvements. As do most of our kids.

Egggzactly 'sbf'... Exactly. This and other efforts were the difference, in his desire and his intensity... a much bigger game commitment and effort.

Do the right thing, at the right time... I think that's what your saying. ... so with confidence, his judgement will get honed to a needle like point. No, starting point is 'increased intensity', and get to much more contests wide. He did this today (intensity), and it really showed... and helped us. He's was getting in.... and getting to.... Re the wider contests, not just those near the middle. His game influence jumper 60%, in my books. X factor he is capable of, but not what we're looking for... its only a 'sugar icing',,, for occasions. Its a big work-rate that is what we really need,,, and this is where he improved this afternoon. And helped us to smash the Giants, around the contests. .

He did today, what has been hoped of him... its a start to a big career we hope.

de distributor.

Maybe, that was a turning point for him.? Has he improved much, since that time?

Take a little bow, Christian. Your intensity today, was a big step up... and a big help to the side, in today's win...

&&&& is only just gone 21Yrs of age.

Do you mean the 'RoundUp', in the black&white boxed no frills brand ??

Maybe the Berwick end ?

Heres an article on him. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-04-26/lockharts-leap-of-faith-pays-off

He needs to fully commit consistently. Not just in front of Goody. And not just in font of finals.

Just in the nick of time, to develop him as replacement for Nev, in due course.

Copied from Kniightmare's AFL draft wrap June 2017 Victoria Country vs. Allies Defender Jay Lockhart, 21-year-old, 183cm, 69kg, earned the Lefroy Medal as Tasmania's best player. He used the ball cleanly off half-back, provided run-and-carry, took intercept marks and ducked through traffic. Lockhart collected 20 disposals, four marks and nine rebound 50s. http://www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_/id/19630178/knightmares-afl-draft-wrap-neafl-midfielder-jordan-keras-continues-dominate

When Goodwin becomes a favourite son, that will be the time he's traveling to softly... and will be time he goes. I like it he's not popular amongst some here, as we are poor judges... going by the past odd half century.

He needs a voice coach, to teach him to stop sounding like a whining poodle.

I agree Wls11. He has the ability to explode and can do it when in open space. When will he do it thru a tackle..... or out of deep within a pack? His kicking prowess has to start to deliver whilst under pressure not when he is the only player within 'cooee'. H needs to work way harder. To me he is still very much some sort of work in progress. I doubt he can make the bridge to a real breakout game, real breakout form,,, Until he gets his fitness levels much higher. I think he may be using this superhero title of 'explosive' & 'elite', as an excuse... that he doesn't need elite fitness to star in this AFL. I still think he is lazy in a sense, and resting on an inner perception of a brilliance. slighted by insecurity. IMO, He needs an honest reality check, to jog him into a true sense of his own game. He can be so mush more than he is now. # under-performing his potential abilities.

From outside the bullring, came the dark horse. SchoMo.

I think, Earl, the world is swinging wildly. Out of its past temperate balance. The last time the world was entering a tumultuous time-frame, I think was around the time of WW1, to near the end of Vietnam conflict. Similar time-frame of Mfc's last power era.

There's a lot of preciousness going around. No One wants Jesse gone. But we all want say a Josh Kelly, or a Whitfield, Shiel, or a Lachie Neale at this club. If one of these players becomes available to us, at the right price, then what ?
