MFC Fans Only Non-Demons AFL Discussion – 2024

Skill errors = insufficient intent. Make it make sense. Umps should have to had played footy at some level before if they want to umpire AFL.

I wasn't watching at this point, but was it ex-Melbourne-listed Andre Gianfagna?

 

[Topkent]

Imagine Trac in this side.

He'd be the Coleman leader and goal assist leader. We should let them have him and we'll take a slow long down the line type player I'm thinking Grundy.

Dunno. Just assumed it was someone who had never played coz it was clearly a skill error not intentional.

What type of player do you think I was, A11?

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Can't see anyone beating the Swans this year unless they get smashed with injuries, they do it both ways really well. Perfectly balanced game style.

 

[Topkent]

What type of player do you think I was, A11?

Head-less

 

[Jamurp]

We really shouldn't play primetime slots, this is so much better, chuck us on at 2:10pm Saturdays or 1:10pm Sundays pls.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

What type of player do you think I was, A11?

Hmmmm, either a full back or forward pocket.

 

[Topkent]

Swans were goalless halfway through the first quarter and are still on track to kick 100 for the game. They couple athletic key forwards to get the ball to ground and then their most dangerous players around HF with space.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

You tell me Les, what position did you play?

 

[Bluelegs]

What type of player do you think I was, A11?

Interchange no. 2

I played forward in under 13's , full forward and part time ruck in under 15s , centre half back mainly and occasionally forward in under 18's, half back in seniors.

I liked playing forward most but enjoyed the backline still. Under 18 coach did me dirty turning me into a backman. Started as a forward, kick 14 goals in first 3 rounds and the coach moved me into to defense coz I was kicking more goals than his goal hungess son. Hardly ever played forward again unless we had some injuries.

Nothing worse than cringe parents favouring their kids in sport. Don't coach if you can't be unbiased.

Yep I was a bit of everything but shit forward tbh always thought I was unlucky but just read the game better as a defender.
I was a CHB and a centre square tagger. Decent winger as well but played best stopping someone else.
Talentless hack I guess

 

[Proper Gander]

I like Sydney

Nothing wrong with tagging mate. Even if you're talentless you can contribute massively by being disciplined enough not to chase kicks and just focus on shutting someone down.

I was a better defender, I saw the game really well and I could get a fist on any ball knew exactly which angle to be at to stop the forward getting the ball. Loved tagging honestly wrecking someone elses day who just wanted some easy kicks in the middle was the best. Plus you could get away with shitloads off the ball in country footy lol

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I loved the guys who were taggers in my sides, All of them great blokes who only cared about winning. When they kicked a goal we'd run from everywhere and get around them.

I played ruck/fwd a bunch in juniors but in my later teenage years went down back and loved it. Ball is way easier to mark in defence and I was never the quickest guy so only running one direciton generally benefited me.

Especially at the level we played at, forward you're relying on good delivery whereas down back it's all shit delivery which helps. I'm only 5'10 aswell but I had a good jump and longish arms. Jared Rivers type maybe.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Jordon what a pass. What a player.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Special stuff that centre clearance, great chain of handballs.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Christ what a goal by Warner.

 

[Bluelegs]

Sydney look a class above everyone else this year.

Think the Giants at their best are the only ones who can challenge.
