Demon Dynasty

Jones and Viney look heavy legged...love the fight but where does the free kick come from? BS

Hunt and the gayley coloured headband .....SCOOORE!!!

Finally something from our 2 small forwards

Viney getting worse as the game progresses that was crap

Garlett running under the ball.... Been ordinary tonight so far

Beating them in every stat except hit outs ....to be expected. And scoring efficiency i50 ugghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Let's hope so db

He is our worst on/around ball disposer but gets a lot of it and tackles hard. Bit harsh. Maybe back to Casey to clean up his disposal and where he kicks to (ie, favoured side of a forward whenever possible)

Didn't we do it against the Cats also?

No has incorrectly disposed on at least 2 occasions in the clear.... All umpires watching at least one or two seeing

Regardless chook... he took on the tackler ....again. Needs to look for the quick give more often in congestion like he did a few times in the first

ANB wtf III

THATS WHY YOU ONLY PLAY JW IN THE RUCK IF DESPERATE!!!! You [censored] beauty!

Viney just trying to take em on too often when under too much heat. We are bigger bodied generally

Frosty! Most Overdoing the handball a little too much.

That was deliberate lol

Back 6 looking solid. Hunt, Hibberd & Tmac on top with assistance from Mr Vince. Hogan running under ball a few times. Jones in everything but keep your feet son. Cool hand Clarry has it on a string, bringing others into the game, clearance King. Our gang tackling through the roof. Viney kick quickly forward when you get a break... Hesitating a little too often and hand balling back to players under the pump or to no one. Looking close to his better form though. Just clean it up a little and go more direct when free instead of wide / backwards

ANB wtf II

ANB wtf

Hibberd looking ok so far ??

Tigers are cleaner but don't run back very hard when they turnover

Set shot goal kicking.... Yikes

No deliberate no free to Hogan .... Hmmm

If Spencer is out this will be super tough

The 'average' hit out stats for 2016 tell a very different story Nasher. Here they are courtesy of Footywire for season 2016 in ranked order for MFC players..... 1. Big Maxy - 42.18 / 22 (Hit outs/Games played) ... No.1 in AFL also. 2. Pedersen - 3.67 / 9 3. Dawes - 2.17 / 6 4. Watts 1.91 / 22 Regardless his main role (as for Watts and most non-specialist ruckman 2nd stringers) is not to win many hit outs i wouldn't think. Neautralise if possible then contest off the ground. Any wins 'to advantage' a huge bonus of course. Watts obviously much better at the ground ball if it's in dispute and not hit to advantage by an opp's 2nd stringer. Pedders generally plays a role that sees him at both ends of the ground depending on match ups and in the ruck on occasions as 2nd stringer, at least before Watts started playing there. If you think your best ball user around the ground and up forward, including probably our most accurate in front of goals is better used in the ruck Nasher then we see football through very different eyes. Pedders offers Watts the advantage of avoiding unnecessary ruck duties and allowing him to impact the game on the outside and up forward where he is at his most damaging as our best ball user, decision maker and most accurate shot at goal most games. That, plus a big ready made AFL body who often gets involved in scoring chains as a reasonable link man. Contests hard in the air, brings the ball to ground and not too bad with set shots when he gets the opportunity. He reminds me of Bull but a more well rounded experienced big bodied player who can effect a contest and will take a 2nd string defender, again allowing Watts the extra benefit of getting the 3rd stringer which should allow him to impact more and more often to the team's benefit. Pedders is by no means a "must" inclusion every week Clint unless he performs to a certain standard but he should at least be given that opportunity over a 2 to 3 week period if we continue with spasmodic results, W/L/W/L/WW/LLL etc, and are not showing any obvious improvement with match results or consistency up forward. This also assumes Pedders is in good form at Casey. Needs to earn it like anyone else.
