So LMAC in...BMAC out...or Fish?

 

[Zebrah]

So LMAC in...BMAC out...or Fish?

Hard choice, but I reckon Fish. BMac actually played OK after he cost us two goals.

 

[muttley45]

Mosquito or Camel bites today ?

 

[Moti]

So LMAC in...BMAC out...or Fish?

Both out, bring in Jmac and either EVW or Mountford.

 

[Jack Richards]

Is Mountford going well? Picked him up in my Supercoach Keeper League.. hoping he will develop nicely.

 

[True North]

So LMAC in...BMAC out...or Fish?

McKenzie for mine. Can't kick and costs us too many goals. Also gets caught in no mans land too much.

[SMaturin]

Got smacked in ruck and at stoppages. Game played almost totally in Bulldogs half.

We relied on fast breaks and didn't have the skill or composure to transition.

 

[king of the road]

No Jacobs &/or Wright?

 

[shinboner magic]

Hibberd was really poor with ball in hand and was average around the contest. Mountford was much cleaner and damaging.

Mounford will get a game if we have nothing to lose, not sure that's the case next week?

His a kid our coach won't play him we are finals bound

 

[naturally north]

His a kid our coach won't play him we are finals bound

I believed we would if the result didn't matter, just like I believed Wagner would be the first to debut.

Save Nahas for the first final+. He was pretty good against the Tigres last year++.

Hibberd was really poor with ball in hand and was average around the contest. Mountford was much cleaner and damaging.

Those qualities obviously impressed someone. He was named in the Bests.

Swallow regularly gets named in the bests.

 

[ansonholt]

We need a new coach. Too much talent in this team to be consistently beaten by 15 goals. Unacceptable.

This is an extremely valid point. Not the least for Werribee fans, but also considering that these guys are being groomed for potential AFL time, and need the best possible mentoring.

Best of the AFL
Ed Vickers-Willis

Playing off half-back, and on Bulldogs' star Jake Stringer, the second-year Roo was impressive in both his defensive and offensive attributes.

The task required Vickers-Willis to be constantly switched on, given Stringer would often have stints in the midfield.

“The midfielders communicate with me when (Stringer) goes forward, and then the same with me when he goes into the midfield," he said.

“You’ve got to have that trust and because he’s so dangerous, you’ve really got to be careful and keep an eye on him.

“For me, using my endurance and running off when I could was important. When my man is irrelevant to the play, then for me looking to get involved is a big focus from the coaches.”



Points of interest
1. Luke McDonald made his return from injury, emerging unscathed on his way through three quarters of playing time off half-back.

“It was great to see he got through,” Loader told NMFC.com.au post-match.

“That’s probably the biggest thing from today. He did some nice things and kicked quite well.”


2. It was a new experience for Ryan Clarke, coming back down to the VFL after his first six-game stint in the AFL. His teammates were rapt to have him back helping out through the middle.

“I thought he was terrific. He played with great intensity as he always does, but he really looked like he was up and about early on and that’s the great thing you get with Ryan," Loader said.

“He just knocked up getting his hands on the ball. In the second half he played the mid-forward role he’s played at AFL level, and again looked really dangerous especially in that third quarter."



3. Playing on the wing, Mitch Hibberd provided plenty of run and carry for Werribee as he finishes his first season on North’s list impressively.

“Once he’s able to get into that rhythm he really gets up and down the ground well," Loader said.

“He positioned himself really well a couple of times in defence and got into a great position to intercept mark.

“He certainly gets on the end of it going forward and works hard to get back, so it was another solid performance from Mitch.”

Most likely AFL call-up: Ed Vickers-Willis, Luke McDonald
Next week: Sunday August 28 v Sandringham at Avalon Airport Oval, 2:00pm

[Mr Reliable]

Fantastic interview - fantastic young fella.

Thing that caught my ear was that he was impressed with Rat pack member Deccy Mountford - he's so fast (ka-ching) and he spreads really well (double ka-ching). He also said he likes the way non-member of the Rat pack EVW plays. Apparently he had the job on Brave Jakey Stringer today.

Oh and he's pulled up really well and he's ready to go next week.
