Whats going on with morwell east they seem to be very competitve for three quarters every week then they either run out of legs or teams work out their full ground press and they fall apart. maybe the coach should think of changing it up a bit

I think, after seeing the Newb V ME game, that they were pretty good in the first half. They stick to the press well and all seem to be on the same page.

Where I reckon they get it wrong is when they press in the opposition forward zone and win the ball across half forward, they find it hard to run and rebound to kick goals, or at least get a shot off, and by the time 3/4 time comes around they just cant run the game out.

It takes a hell of a lot of work to pull off an 18 man press for a whole 100 minutes. I know first-hand that Newborough are fit. No doubt about it. But because they are not trying to fill a space then make space when they win the ball, they only have to worry about kicking over, or carrying the ball through the zone. It took a little time to break the zone down, but they did it after half time.

It is a little bit like the Ali Rope-a-dope. All the other side has to do at this point, is wait til the East tire and then open up on them. Or at least that was how it seemed when Newborough played them.

I reckon as the year gets on, they will be better at it, however they are running out of time to get some points on the board to keep them in it.

Would be good to see the coach let them open up and play from the get-go as they have some super players playing for them.

Thats all just my take on them. I reckon they are a very good side. What do others think?

"SPECIAL"

This post must be from Bruce McAvaney, It's DELICIOUS.

on a more serious note Morwell East will go all right when all the new recruits gell and adjust to MGFL footy. They have'nt had an easy draw.

I agree with you Tomm. As I said, I reckon they are a very good side, and thats based on their determination to stick to the plan, plus they have some excellent players. Their recruits will be better when they gel. Their draw has been positively shithouse to be honest.

Bottom line though, is they are losing games of footy because of the 18 man press. Games of footy they could have won if they had gone H2H. Crazy way to play country footy IMO. Game against Mirboo North they split clearences and Inside 50s and got smashed by 60 points. Go Figure
 
Well a couple of suprises from yesterday's games.

Boolarra belting Yallourn Nth was a little bit of a suprise. Good to see them get a win on the board.

Although I havent seen Mirboo Nth, it was also a suprise they got so close to Traf. Was the ground in a pickle??

Hill End and Morwell east did what was expected.

Newborough got the job done against Yinnar.

Saw mirboo play, they're a
Better side than last year that's for sure, whether try get the job done is always the question up
There, I would have tipped them to beat Traf if they had their full
List in, put them on a par,

Have meast n hillmen got any
Injuries at all,
Did watch the boolarra v yall yall,
Looked like boolarra started the game off better than yallourn, yalls little munchkin forward was hard to beat, good
Game to watch yall r a good team, didnt anyone running with n he went bazzerko n I lost count so not sure what happened there with yalls coaching, also yalls onballer is very good at stoppages.

I don't know about mid gippy but alberton have had most of there good players pull out because they want the rest.I think it's a shame but I don't see much room for interleauge anymore none of the better players ever play and I think clubs have to big of a say in it as well.

i cant believe the interleauge team, we are going 2 get smashed!!!
how can thorpy have a bloke in the side??? and only 3 traf players, they r under feated atm surly there should of been more, and that leys kid from boolarra is one of the worst ruck man going around!!! i seen the alberton side, who is going 2 play on L.James? he kicked 100 goals last year, and they have a few more power forwards that r up and about this year, its going 2 be a long bus drive for the mid gippy boys on saturday night

I play with LJ at Bass and don't reckon there is to many backman than can stop him.Alberton don't have there best side in either have had a heap pull out with injurys.In saying that it's gunna be shit weather so might bring it to a more even playing field

We played at the venue last week where the game will be played and it held
up really well.Should be a good game but Alberton is a better comp and should win.
 
We played Cameron Bawden on him in 2010 at Darnum and he Kicked 6 straight. Cameron didnt do much wrong that day. Forced him wide, punched when he was behind, attempted to mark when he was in front. Gave away a couple of frees to him but all his shots were from within 4m of the boundary line and at least 35m out. Just didnt miss.

Very hard man to stop.
