.....Its a one horse Race, no one will get close to magpies ..
.....I personaly rate the night fixture, gives parents and ex players who are involved in the lesser leagues a chance to get into town and catch afew games. Has always helped bring is some fairly sizable crowds in my experience, plus the bar taking tends to be colossal. That said once you get the reputation for either having poor lights or running out of cans i can see the numbers dropping off (ie Raiders last week).
I also see it being a long year ahead, no thrill in going to the footy to see a massacre each week. Just hope Myrt and Albury improve dramatically when they get thier best teams on the park for the sake of seeing some decent footy.
Not a fan of Stone?Rovers were magnificent today! Imagine what the wang hand job brigade in the footy department are thinking now? They are out of sons/ step dads to give coaching jobs to now that this bloke has been exposed.
think we discussed this when it was announced, not many people are within the walls of the club let alone outside of itNot a fan of Stone?
Was a cracking game of footy, rovers just cracked in harder and wanted it more. Hartwig did a huge job on reidPersonally I got it wrong. I thought Wang would be big winners. Rovers had some guns missing too.
Who saw the game?
Are you saying there’s an issue behind the scenes?With the animals on the park, most analytical minds saw the pies as a 10 goal better team. Sadly the cancer that was created by the knuckle draggers pulling the strings has come back with a vengeance today and caused a capitulation.
A few people have said how good Tyler Roos is. What is the highest level of football he has played before this?
was at southportNEAFL I think
.....
I have been quietly wondering how the magpies forward line would function with the 3 big talls. No doubt the pies are pretty Reid conscious at the moment which is limiting Newton’s opportunities compared to previous years.notes for the game
-josh porter couldn't get a kick against a player in his second game.
-there is a reason afl/vfl teams don't play tall sides
-ab ankers and tyler roos are on their own level in the comp
-tys hartwig is still the player he was
-ryan stone is not the player he used to be
-both sides had quality young players that held their own
-newton still injury prone
-marklew and bordinong was a quality match up
-ben speight no where to be seen
-ryan hebron is a quality utility
-magpies lack midfield depth
-Unbelievable game of football no matter who wins and it's exactly how any country football supporter should want the game played
I've stated before that its easy to exploit a tall side and I would doubt porter will be in their best side moving forwardI have been quietly wondering how the magpies forward line would function with the 3 big talls. No doubt the pies are pretty Reid conscious at the moment which is limiting Newton’s opportunities compared to previous years.
Will Porter will need to be able to play Key back? or Reid might be deployed their at some stage to give better balance across the ground because Reid, Porter, Newton, Moore and Leitch all in the ruck/forward mix leaves them very tall forward of centre and a bit undersized in the back half.
also means less running types to go through the midfield.
Just an outsider looking in at the league as a pies man, been following Reidy’s progress since retiring.
Why would the Magpies not deploy Reid across half back? He won a premiership at 21, was named as the AA CHB at 22. He made his calling in that role. I know it would be the very flashy and prize winning move to play him forward but Reid isn’t winning a goal kicking award at country level imo, he’s not a huge goal kicker. Teams will double and triple team him and the team itself will become too Reid focused because of his name and it won’t work, however he could easily dominate the air and by foot across half back.
I can see they also have Newton and Moore, surely that would suffice as forwards? Interesting strategy anyway . I would 100% sure up the backline with Reid across there.
why would a bloke who has basically chased an opponent all his career at the elite level come back to country footy and want to play in defence?? Let him enjoy having someone try to stop him
Let me try and understand what your saying.. Reid should do what he wants because of what he’s done in the past and it suits him. Not because it’s good for the team he’s currently playing for?
