Demon Dynasty

There was no advantage to take. He was immediately tackled.as soon as he took the ball...pretty much just after the ump had blown the whistle. In that cauldron Baker probably didnt evem hear the whistle and by the time he realised it was their free he was back peddling to say "i'll take the free" Also 3 times the Lions lifted the ball with an open hand to their fellow player in the first half and none were called for a throw or incorrect disposal. Thought the umpiring got better as the game went on but the first half was dodgy as, in particular a number of frees against Brisbane that appeared to be conveniently overlooked.

No advantage. Ump should've called that back. Then a free plus 50. Disgraceful umpiring

Melky..."See what happens when you miss fellas!"

Hoping these three have a decent night!

100%. That's how you do it!

So you'd rather him do a Nibbler Chook?

Light duties after his VFL run

Couldn't miss this one! About time they told us what was happening! 😄

He has plenty of credits Moe. Very accurate at hitting targets i50 of course. Just needs to lift the other stuff a little for the finals and should be ok. Tackling, especially inside 50. Kick the odd goal. Goal assists. One percenters. Oh and a few contested ball gets would also be handy. The odd clearance. Toby unlucky to miss out in some ways and might not be with us next season by the sounds of it.

Looks like we're out of room there SW

Of course he does... switches his mic to mute and heads off for a much needed No. 2s!

Was very solid. Loved Disco's game as well.

Not a bad fill in for Viney if needed JJC? (Edit: Sparrow as well). No i'm not suggesting he's as capable but the bloke can play, is a brute in the contest and has some good footy smarts. Might be a little too muscle bound if that's possible? 2 to 3 kilos off over the off season so he can cover the ground a little better?

Yes there is that. Over ran one today also but its going to happen occasionaly when you're a whippet!

JVR is so close to being ready. Possibly just the body / strength in a one v one contest and the legs to run out a game. Crazy leap and has no fear like many a young fella. Wasn't just his aerial stuff today though. Did some VN work in traffic on a few occasions today and worked hard to get on the end of a few on the overlap. Plenty of work ahead of course but developing very nicely. Reminds me just a tad of Robbo in terms of his willingness to hit a pack & athleticism (leap vs height).

Second half of the 2nd quarter & third quarter were impressive. Talk about jets. He was really on in the above quarters today and IMHO came out of the blocks hunting, scrapping but also blitzing the opponent with & without the ball in these stages. Still got a way to go to put full games (playing at that level) together but that will come with time and the extra pre-season or two. Burst speed is incredible at VFL level and his closing pressure / tackling was off the charts. So many Swans looked in the clear one minute, only having to rush kicks or getting rushed off their kick/handball a few seconds later. Spargo plays a very different role but Toby is really knocking on the door at the moment. Out of the smalls like Chandler, Laurie etc i'd be giving the nod to Toby at present. All class and super fast at ground level, closing speed and escape factor.

Even 3 quarters of Macca will be very handy IMV. Fingers crossed he gets through nicely. Has bulked up a little
