I unconditionally agree with salim malik and sherrif that Mora played a tagging/negating role last Wednesday against players Blakely, Neale, Barlow and Ballas. My Apologies guys for getting this wrong.
Thats OK ,some of us are experts and the rest,well .............
Given that we shared the hard tag/soft tag role around amongst the mids last season and Mora has not played in the post-Creepy era it's entirely likely that he would be asked to hone up on that aspect of his defensive game.

Yes I agree there is some unnecessary jargon in this thread

I was just wondering why posts were deleted - did anyone see what was the problem?
Surely not because of some light-hearted banter, or did I miss something?

No good has ever come of mentioning that campaigner or any of his antics....deletions,locked threads,suspensions,bans,ensue ....

Actually that's a great idea. He would be damaging in that role, yet more offensive then Crowley. Can see something like that happening, even pushing out De Boer/Suban/Mzungu types.

The problem how are you going to get the ball out of defensive 50. Eg Mora booming kick at halfback to pav outside 50 and pav goal. Compare pav and Mora forward , ibbo pass to suban before getting the ball to either of them the ball stuck at stopage in mid this is assume Johnson playing negate role rather than his usual creative role.

I finally see the hype on Morra. He trained really well and looks in place to be starting 22.
Collins looks like a tremendous stopper and I'd expect him to at least get some NAB challenge game time to show his worth.
I was a little disappointed in D. PEARCE dissicion making today. Once not giving off a handball and instead he chose to kick blindly.
Mundy looks like a Captain. He has a spring in his step and is setting the standard at training.
It was a long session mixed with set skill activities as well as modified match sim exercises. The players who stood out the most was Blakely due to his positioning and handball skills plus Walters for hus ground coverage and kicking to position.

Your comments on D Pearce have shocked me to the core
must be practicing how he will play in the games, like him, but this has always been the frustrating part of his game.

All he needed to do was bloody handball it. Prior to his possie S Hill didn't deliver the ball to the best of his abilty so it could be described as a very poor passage of play.

Unfortunately Darryl was far from on his own today, the decision making I saw in the short time I was there was terrible. Apart from the class players like Hill, Mundy, Walters, Pav and Neale (there are others, I just can't think of them ATM) the decision making and skill execution was very poor today. The coaches were getting very frustrated with them, saying "not good enough" and they had to do push-ups at one point as punishment for repeated errors.Your comments on D Pearce have shocked me to the core
I don't want to sound too negative because we are still a long way from the season and hopefully today was an aberration, but for me there were a couple of worrying signs.
- Indecisiveness with ball in hand. The experienced players kept saying, come on we are attacking, but too often the ball was held up far too long on half forward waiting for the "perfect" option. When the last kick was finally taken, forwards were often covered and turnovers ensued.
- Missed targets. Lots of poor skills today, even from our more skilled players. I'm putting it down to a bad day, but guys like Hilly who rarely miss a target must get very frustrated with the guys who regularly miss.
- Poor goal kicking. Again, shots that absolutely should have been slotted were missed, including some of the better kickers. They say perfect practice makes perfect - we were a long way from it today.
- Exiting the backline. We just don't seem to have a workable strategy for getting the ball out of our defensive goal square. Too many guys are just prepared to take any easy option and pass it off to a guy lateral or behind him. People can Sheridan for the dropped mark against Hawthorn but the reality is that pass should never have been made. Every pass in our own defensive 50 is a chance for the opposition to press up and force an error.
Some of the positives for me:
- Nat Fyfe - just building nicely and looks all class. May miss some NAB cup, but I think by the time season rolls around he will be back to his unstoppable best.
- Mundy - looks every bit the leader out there. Makes good decisions and executes skills well. It sure opens some options up when you can consistently hit targets over 50 metres or more.
- Zac Clarke - took some great marks and if he can get back to peak fitness will be a real weapon. Kicking for goal is dodgy!
- Sandi - looking great and his goal kicking is really sound. Kicked one from 50 metres on an angle and drew applause form players and spectators.
- Uebergang (just for you meima) - looks a decent sized unit, moves well and has a nice simple kicking action. I can see him becoming a handy back-up tall forward or back. Seems to be able to take some of the ruck work too which is a bonus.
- Zac Dawson - for all the haters, I wish you could have seen how easily he handled the big forwards today. He is a defenders' defender and will again be the backbone of our deep defence.
- Connor Blakely - gets into good positions and gets a lot of the ball. Not the worst by hand or foot out there today. (Weller, who I really rate, made a few skill errors unfortunately).
- Sam Collins - another big unit who I think will get some game time. Like Ueber, they seem to be trying Sam out forward and back, maybe looking for lots more options. Can't wait to see Alex Pearce back!
Bring it on!
