Training 2024 Preseason Thread

Jesus, all our forwards either leading back or standing still off the turnover from some stupid reason, Laurie made Pickett come to the ball. Good work from Laure. Forward line still a dysfunctional mess honestly.

 

[schmuttt]

Expect a pretty shitty second half here, still pretty hot in Melbourne and no-one will want to get hurt.

 

[Scythe94]

Yeah that was pretty trash from Curnow

 

[Toump Ass]

It’s actually amazing how shit we are at kicking the ball inside 50. Or setting up inside 50. Like the **** was May doing kicking to like ten on one.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Better, lead to space. No surprise it was Billings, someone who isnt fully Melbourne'd yet.

 

[booshboy]

i like how we're looking to tap the ball to a free man around the contest

 

[Scythe94]

Salem's actually been pretty solid. Still have doubts on how he'd go in the middle when the whips are cracking, but having him and Billings deliver inside 50 certainly makes a difference

 

[Jamurp]

We love a ground ball kick inside 50 don't we.

 

[Macka1203]

i like billings

 

[Scythe94]

"They've really nailed their top picks for years".

Trigger warning for a few

 

[dazzledavey36]

In the last two games I've watched Billings I don't think I've seen him miss a target.

Great hit up by Salem.

 

[Toump Ass]

Billings looks like he’s twelve years old.

Put him at half forward.

I was thinking the same thing, he's been pretty good. He has been pretty clean with his skills but I do think he still gets overhyped from the commentators. Hopefully when the heat is on he is hitting those kicks.

 

[Scythe94]

Schache as a ruckman, yikes.

 

[PerfectFooty]

We can't let schache second ruck in the season. He's not bulked up enough to do it, and at this point he never will be

 

[Scythe94]

Even Billings' hack kicks hit targets

 

[mrmonkey]

Schache has work to do is kings way of saying he's dog shit as a ruck.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

There has been some shocking kicks but ive counted 5 times now where its been the forward lines fault, offering absolutely nothing to players running forward with the ball, just standing there with their hand in the air.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Schache has work to do is kings way of saying he's dog s**t as a ruck.

Hes even worse than I thought he was, not sure ive seen a softer player.

 

[dazzledavey36]

Super work by Bowey

 

[Scythe94]

Bowey, Salem, Billings. The tools are there to tidy up our entries, hopefully we keep feeding these three throughout the year

 

[Macka1203]

ahahaha big max snuck back on

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Laurie been alright with the ball when he gets it.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Not going to go too hard yet but McVee looks like a rookie pick this year. Playing with no confidence, even his defensive work has been ordinary.
