Sandy v Port Melb
Anyone at the game?
Apparently paddy, battle and marshall all kicked 2 goals in the first, 38-12 at quarter time
Would love if Paddy and Marshall in particular put in really strong performances. Having Marshall play as that ruck forward would make playing Longer a viable option, which could help us with what transpired yesterday arvo against the dees.
Love hickey but if he's not up to it against a player like gawn we may need the physical attributes of longer to keep our mids in it. But he'll need a chop out.
Battle is fighting it out with membrey as it stands and members has a few credits in the bank, but would love for the young boy to kick a few more too.
Is Acres playing?
Heads may roll after yesterday's performance
edit: half time, Goals: Marshall 4, McCartin 3, Battle 2, Montagna 1, Weickhardt 1
Disposals: Sinclair 20, Verma 19, Acres 16

seems acres either didn't get a touch in the last or was rested. I think paddy may only have played 3 quarters too from what richo said last night about him being 'managed'. Marshall with five is very encouraging! Battle too. WHo is Verma? Is that our nick name for Bailey Rice? Verma... celli? ok im done

They controlled the Centre Sauare because Gawn did!

Tom should still have some credits from last year , and as Tony said throwing the bal up didn't help him.

Re: Sandy v Port Melb
I played footy at the same club but a few years behind his dad growing up and played cricket with his dad. Toss was a great sportsman, very competitive and well let's just say he knew he was good. he played at Hawthorn in a very strong era but succumbed to injury. If young Josh has the same attributes he will love a goal, love to win and do whatever it takes to get ahead of the opposition and the team mates he competes with on the training track and for position on the field. Having said that Toss was a natural leader, encouraged others and epitomised the fighting spirit and determination. I have high hopes for Josh Battle. He comes from a great family and his granddad would have been very proud.Joe Bloggs wrote:One feels the Battle likes a goal or two.
I get the feeling we will see him play AFL this year. The boy has a huge engine for his size too so don't be surprised if he ends up surpassing McCartin. That is if the plan is flexible enough to reward results, sheer talent and capability. He should smash it in the VFL.
Re: Sandy v Port Melb
sheesh yourself, on his day hickey can be as damaging as any, but if he keeps playing like he did last night then we have to consider alternatives. If we played melbourne again this coming weekend instead of west coast, given the way we were absolutely dominated in the centre square and stoppages, would you play hickey again, or give longer a try? honest question. I'd be inclined to give longer a run with marshall providing the chop out, unless we managed to figure out why it was hickey played so poorly (8 touches and 18 hit outs to gawn's 13 touches and 49 hit outs) and how to fix it .Viking3 wrote:If Hickey's not up to it???

But with that said, the throwing the ball up thing (as mentioned by others) was not good for hickey, and frankly if they're going to throw it up, then they should throw it up as high the ball goes when it gets bounced. It looks like basketball out there with their dinky throws. Takes the whole reading the ball part out of the equation.
I'm not saying I don't think hickey is up to it, but just incase one of the many variables (injuries, motivation, mental health, rule changes, etc) have an adverse effect on his game, we have rowan marshall and billy longer.
... sheesh

It's a new world with no third up for us, new rule is going to hurt ( and hurt other teams without an elite ruck this season) imo
Throwing the ball up also helped Gawn but there was a lack of physical pressure on the man
I'm not sure Longer would have done much better but he can be much more physical
in the contest and it may have helped somewhat
The coach said he was tossing up between the rucks so he's going to find it hard to keep Longer out.
I'll stick my neck out once again and say we may be forced to play horses for courses and I'm thinking we will try two rucks at sometime this season. Hopefully both of them will continue to improve during the year

Re: Sandy v Port Melb
Longer smacks in harder than Hickey
Hickeys a better player
I reckon Gawn could've played a game today, given that he wasn't even challenged in the ruck...

Re: Sandy v Port Melb
Perhaps before dropping Hickey one should look at who their rucks are and how big a ground they will playing on.
The wce rucks got touched up by the north rucks. Though wce still won despite losing the ruck contest.
Petrie broke his hard so will probably be out leaving Vardy.

Re: Sandy v Port Melb
That's awesome by Marshall. I had a feeling based on the highlights posted around draft time... very strong hands and smarts for a tall bloke. Hope we see more from him.RODOS wrote:'FULL TIME:

Re: Sandy v Port Melb
No bounces due to the turf provided a "fair" contest which is a sure way that the better ruckman will always win. atleast with bounces it will favour one side or the other, evening out over a game.BigMart wrote:Yesterday, Hickey copped a hiding of epic proportions

Petrie will miss with a fractured hand. NOt only does this help Hickey tremendously, WCE will be a tall short in their forward line as they like to play resting ruck.dragit wrote:I reckon Hickey has Vardy & Petrie covered... deserves the chance to redeem.

Re: Sandy v Port Melb
The centre square and stoppage dominance was just as much, if not more, an issue with our midfielders. Doesn't matter which ruck gets the tap, the midfield has a 50/50 chance of getting to the ball first.RODOS wrote:sheesh yourself, on his day hickey can be as damaging as any, but if he keeps playing like he did last night then we have to consider alternatives.

You already have Marshall leap frogging Pierce and Holmes and in essence McCartin who still has to come in. Or are we going to play Longer, McCartin, Bruce and Marshall?

Re: Sandy v Port Melb
Marshall is a rookie so someone has to be on the long term injury list for him to be elevated and play (Freeman?) or I think one rookie can still be elevated half way through the year (or thereabouts).
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Sandy v Port Melb
Nice day for a trip to TBBO
nice to beat Port Melbourne any time
even better to beat them by a big margin
lots of coaches in attendance
Dempster didn't play
Pierce played minutes in both Dev game and Seniors
Unfortunately Marshall is a rooke-
a couple of 'injuries' coming out of it maybe- thumbs and/or fingers, cramping - was quite warm
Verma is Sandy Player-
