McHenry’s major problem is that he doesn’t fully watch the ball into his hands so tends to fumble as he’s already thinking of his next step.
A classic example of this is in the third quarter when he hit up Fogarty then went past and was given the handball back, was already thinking of who to...
Used to be that the umpire would stand near where the ball was going; in this case at the post it hit. For some reason, they seem to be taught to look along the line rather than being underneath the trajectory of the ball.
Seems silly to me.
Within 24 hours last week, I had a boring quadrella of ex-player encounters.
Shared a lift with Daniel Talia twice (no hat), watched Kris Massie run a PT class in Light Square as I crossed the road (blue baseball hat - unsure if a logo was present), had Ken MacGregor (no hat) run past me as I...
My thought is that it’s Not just Nicks. Look at the other coaches as well with Burns, Van Berlo, Bello, Clarke etc who were all effort players. The way you played forms an integral part of the way you coach sub-consciously and the types of players you pick.
Certainly laconic looking players get...
Port’s traditional and bitter rival is Norwood. Norwood and Collingwood over the years have had a quite a connection from the 1970s and 80s players like Phil Carman, Michael Taylor, Craig Kelly onwards to the 90s Tony Francis, Brett James etc.
Cooper’s Hill is an excellent place to watch a...
Wonder if his SANFL games and soon to development coaching games would take him over the 100 game mark for father son for Adelaide?
Or if this has even been thought about with reserved teams by the AFL?
Maynard turns side on essentially choosing to “bump”; whether that’s to brace for contact or not hasn’t seemed to bother the AFL in the past.
I reckon Maynard chose to contact him side on rather than front on and will cop a match penalty based on the resultant concussion suffered by Brayshaw...
Trading someone like Grundy who would instantly make Port better for a late second round pick makes no sense to me. Making a competitor better for no real gain to yourself seems somewhat silly.
He’d make Ports already imposing midfield instantly better.
However something like a Georgiades...
There’s also the fact that many points were kicked in that grey zone between 20-35metres out where players think that they just need to guide the ball through rather than kicking through the ball.
Stopping your momentum into kicking often leads to the ball stop being slightly off - at least...
My understanding from chatting with folk connected to the club is that Sloane has been told prior to signing that it’s highly likely he’ll play more SANFL than AFL games next year.
Also got the impression that Borlase is 50/50 about being offered a contract but the club is waiting on AFL...
