Thanks for your terrific work KM - always makes for good reading.
Just a quick question out of interest:
How do Patton and Boyd compare at the same age? And who, in your opinion, has the potential for a greater AFL career?
Cheers.
I dropped into training for about 45 mins. Some random player notes:
- Clarke: Walked with a slight limp. Only kicked on his left. Looked keen as mustard to get involved.
- Hogan: Great size and rippedness. Walked the boudary and partook in handball drills with Evans and Tynan
- Tynan: Taller...
A real shame. There's a reason Clint was elevated to the leadership group under Neeld.
It's pretty obvious that Clint's performances this season have been impacted by his degenerative knee. His loss of pace, agility and fitness has been clear.
From what we know of the injury, the comeback...
Neeld - Nice to meet you.
BF Demons Board - Well, I wish I could say the same, but I must say, with all due respect, I find it very hard to see the logic behind some of the moves you have made with this fine organization. In the past 9 weeks you have caused myself, and the city of Melbourne, a...
I popped along to training this morning and caught most of the session. Some points:
- The rehab lap running group included McKenzie, Clarke, Petterd, Grimes (looking strong, fit and raring to go), Evans, Jurrah, Jetta and Davey (who looked very determined).
- Garry Lyon spent time...
I was passing by Gosch's and caught the last 5-10 minutes of the session. As Captain Jack mentioned, it was a glorious Melbourne morning. Obviously not heaps to report, but for what it's worth:
- Garland was with the midfield group doing loose ball exercises. Also in the group were Morton...
Great job with the votes BC - very enjoyable reading.
Interesting to see how the leaderboard correlates to our most important players.
If we were playing finals next week, my first five picked would be:
Frawley
Jamar
Moloney
Trengove
Sylvia
I'm pretty new to the Tour, but over the last year or two, its become one of my favourite sporting events. Saying that, I'm still learning about all the nuances and traditions. Which leads me to my question:
Why are teams seemingly obliged to defend the Yellow Jersey? Even if this might by...
Pretty much spot on. Reassuring that neutral supporters have similar opinions to us - it means that we've staved off insanity for at least one more round!
I believe there is some Stefan/Dusty Martin confusion occuring in this thread.
I would not put Trengove/Scully above Dustin Martin, nor would I put Dustin Martin above Trengove/Scully. I'm very happy for the Demons and very happy for the Tiges.
I was present at the Sandy/Werribee game last weekend and was very impressed with Walsh.
- He rotated between ruck and full-back
- Didn't lose many one on ones
- Assured kicking (no turnovers)
- Good understanding of the game
- Very aggressive
- Strong: At one point he had a werribee player...
One of the more incredible things I've seen on a footy field was the Juice Newton "spray" from point blank in the second quarter.
Juice running straight into an open goal ('not even Juice can miss this'). Then, inexplicably, at 10m out, turns 90 degrees to go inside, and snap on his...
I agree with most of the posts
- Definitely a good game
- Creative and aggressive with disposals
- Downhill skiier
- Not creative or aggressive with defensive pressure
- Unpredictable
- Should be given an extended run in the seniors
I also thought I saw the hint of a tiny smile from Maric as...
Re: Track Viney (or the Jack Tracker)
Jack Viney had a chat with the Ox on 1116 this afternoon.
Jack was speaking from the ?AIS acadamy who were training in Milan, Italy.
From the brief chat, Jack can clearly string a few sentences together. Sounds like a smart, confident and good natured...
3 - Moloney (another outstanding game. Combines so well with Jamar)
3 - Jamar (when he turned it on, so did we)
2 - Gysberts (wow. A natural)
2 - Jurrah (wowee. Even more of a natural)
1 - Bartram (tough as nails and didn't get beaten)
1 - Jones (Positioned well. Created some good run and was...
I agree with all that's been said.
That summer in the gym has clearly given Stef confidence in his body, which has been reflected in his performances. Obviously he's been identified by the club as the ideal versitile second ruckman in this new age of the sub.
His athleticism, strength and...
Re: The 2011 Ricky Petterd spnosorship thread - All hail Ricky Bobby.
Tricky Ricky was absolutely electric when he came on.
So dangerous. Demanded the pill. Sticky mits. A natural forward and footballer.
Re: Scully out for 4 weeks.
So the official line:
"The scans detected bone stress in Tom's left knee cap," Melbourne doctor Andrew Daff said in a statement on melbournefc.com.au.
Bone stress is a fairly non-specific term. Amongst other possibilities, it could mean bone-bruising, or, the...
