Amazing what happens when you win some clearances and move the ball quickly

Ben brown a mile off the pace there. Player under pressure coming off HB you need to be playing in front. Not coming from behind far too late

WORK RATE... we are coasting in the opening to most games. No white line fever from too many.

Winning some center clearance would be helpful

It mostly comes back to the mids getting some two way running into their game and hitting targets as we transition forward with some speed on the ball. The stop and prop possession / momentum game is a killer for forwards and there's no need for it unless you ARE needing to arrest momentum later in a game or icing / protecting a lead. Viney needs to get more accurate in general. Massive turnover king this season which is killing many of our transitions forward.

Looking more and more like a Swans / Filth GF at this rate

Yep Keays is a reasonably good player on his day but diabolical around the sticks

The kick from O'brien 35 meters out 🤦‍♂️

Rankine took 14 steps after the bounce lol.... free kick Collingwood!

Keays handball or ?

Sweet handball from Tex. He's so good at choice and execution by hand.

Agree re Hunter. He's so slow out of the blocks now. Laurie has alot of work to do on the decision making and execution before he should be looked at again. Turnover king at VFL level. Probably doesn't get better in the short term with the step up.

Well i have no idea how i ended up in here. Started off in the Casey thread Went off the rails like the boys in the second half 😅

Moniz off HB is giving up Peter to pay Paul for mine. No quality smalls up forward to convert or put decent pressure on inside 50. The oppo just waltz it out with ease far too often.

How did Neocleuos not know he was about to be tackled 🤔

Why would you give up an extra at the stoppage when you're a goal behind with a few minutes to go. Match them around stoppage and try and clear quickly into the f50 surely to get the scores level

Sestan for his 4th! Looks so much better and natural playing as a medium HF. Mid field probably not his go

Jeffo ...break out game!? Nice run down

Bell playing the crumbing role 👍🏼😁

I know they're trying to link up and run the ball but too often the Casey defenders over use HB across the defensive mid zone, often end up turning it over. Allows the oppo too many rebounds into their 50 and looks at goal Good so far in general but need to clean that aspect up of their game style up.

Laurie still with the occasional ugly clangers through the middle ughhh

Norf (GC) vs Cats (Demons)

Fantastic ... fun times MT! Some very creative people around in that era. Alot of free spirits came out of the 60s and comtinued that into the 70s

Yes plus a spillover secondary cheer squad who sat roughly between the pocket and flank at the Punt Rd end (northern stand side) with floggers if i recall correctly. We still had a pretty big squad back then as it wasn't that long since the glory years of the late 50s and '64'. There were regular banners slung over the fence inc..."Home of the Mighty Demons ...Masters of the MCG" or something to that effect. Streamers a plenty being thrown. Throwing them from the southern stand over the balcony after a goal was the best. Confetti was also thrown in the form of bags of cut up newspapers. The poor cleaners and grounds staff in those days. Imagine trying to clean all that crappola up. Especially if it rained! Pretty certain by choice WC.

Sydney VG at chipping the ball inside 50 to a slight advantage of fellow player in a 1 v 1. It doesn't always come off but the % of successes / retention of ball inside 50 must be pretty high vs the average. A great asset to have as it means you're finishing off the hard work prior to that, taking more shots at goal, allowing the press to be set nicely behind the ball and giving players a chance to recover while the shot clock's counting down.
