Game Day Community Series- Nmfc v Hawthorn

[Devington]

Tarrant leaves a giant hole. Corr got found up in the same situation. We need McKay & Tarrant starting every game.

I was wondering about that. Who would he be matching up against if Taz was there, and how much more organised would they be as a unit.

That said, you can only judge what you see and defensively I don't think JZ gets a pass mark so far. Early days, but not exactly what you want to be seeing.

 

[buttox]

young blokes doing well.
stats for 1/2 time

 

[Moti]

Tyson has been good and will play round one without a doubt.

Can’t see how we fit all the mid paced players in the middle. If Cunners misses ok but he just doesn’t add much.

Watching from Tel Aviv Israel, loving the look of the kids, Powell is burning it up! Zeibell is a worry getting towelled up; what is his position if he struggles in the backline as he’s been tried everywhere else!

loving the look of a game being played at Arden Street, bringing back memories of times gone by and wish I was there

 

[Hatchy1992]

How has Powell's disposal been? Hopefully more efficient than not.

 

[The5YearPlan]

It’s not that he is getting an arse kicking, it’s just he has NFI how to play the role.

Good defenders know when to impact the contest and when to hold their defensive position. Ziebell just get attracted to the wrong spots, it’s a bloke that has played see ball get ball his whole career and has no feel for being a defender.

Hodge was so good at the role even though he was slow, because of his ability to position himself.

You make good points...I can really only say I hope he gets better but you are correct.

 

[Roosurgence]

Powell looks very likely
Stevo adds class
Simpkin is really good but let’s himself down with disposal
Corr excellent
Ldu yes
Larkey getting going now

Remember most of these blokes have not been on the park together Ever
But yeah those last 2 on JZ.....that would not have happened with Thommo Or Spud
A real worry

People forget how good Scooter was. If he played for a big 4 club he would be rated as one of the best defenders going around when he played.

 

[Passmore]

Young has been abysmal. That dropped chest mark was horrible.

I would rather see us invest in Perez if that’s what he brings.

Perez is injured. Otherwise I expect he would be playing.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Tyson is useless.

Yeah if he plays a senior game this year I'll be so frustrated.

Horrible footballer.

 

[anutharoosfan]

Not sure about the negativity on here so far given where we are at.

At the ground, obvious game game is quick through the corridor - led to plenty of turnovers and easy scoring, but at least it is attacking.

Watching Powell without the ball, knows where to be - can’t kick yet, but he can play footy.

Players still learning the new game plan and structure as well, which will take time.

It won’t be a great year for wins and losses, but happy with how the future might look for now

Only a praccie game of course, but geez that Brockman looks a player. Spicer and Laz taken few picks before him, so will be interesting to watch. His skills look off the charts though. Got some class

 

[Roosurgence]

Perez is injured. Otherwise I expect he would be playing.

I guessed as much, but based on last year and what I have seen if Young, Perez is way in front.

 

[Caracas]

Agree as Taz a gun.

But Ziebell is simply not a backman.

Bin it now imo for his and our benefit.

You may well be proven right about Ziebell in the end, CG. However, I’m guessing we’ll persist until R2, regardless. Any experiment needs to be given time, I think.

[GS WARRIORS]

Hopefully Spicer and Phillips time

 

[ChoppyGun]

Agree with others on Young.

He's not in my round 1 team.

Been very poor.

Id have to agree.
I still think hes an upgrade on those we delisted.

I think Spicer is exactly what we need and Laz hasn’t lost any fans with what he’s done this pre season.

Average so far but that's ok. Must persist.

 

[Hatchy1992]

Average so far but that's ok. Must persist.

Yep, first game, at least he's finding the ball at top level.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

How has Powell's disposal been? Hopefully more efficient than not.

Apart from a handball straight to Burgoyne and a rushed kick out of defence, it's been fine.

Mate I don't care if I'm right, it's simply what's best is all I care about.

I hated the idea to start with, and off what I've seen since I hate it even more.

We could really use him up fwd.......It's just so counter productive but sure I reckon we'll persist as you say.

 

[Waussie]

It's only a praccie so I'm not concerned (Well, not too much) yet.

I'm a huge wrap for Hayden but why does he keep turning it over? His kicks seem good off boot yet direct to opposition.

Strange.

I ask the same question of most of the team.

 

[Psicosis]

Two highlights so far have been:

- Powell’s gather and direction change before feeding it out
- LDU’s burst out of the middle after receiving from Jy

That’s the future of our club right there

 

[Roosurgence]

The thing that has impressed me so much with Stevo is his work rate. He has run to give teammates and option as well as worked back the other way without the pill

 

[The Nostradamus]

Powell’s disposal has not been great
