Dont try a fend off against Tippa , Marty
Or it probably will end like this
Not so sure about Martys fend off technique. He needs to have the arm bent at contact, then push off by straightening the arm just after contact is established. More bench presses Marty.
Nothing to do with strength and all to do with momentum.
Agree Deckham, should not be called a âfend offâ but a âpush offâ. Just hanging a straight arm out there gives a Hurley or Tippa time to grab the arm and pull the player in. The aim of the push off should be to help establish momentum pushing the players apart.
Apparently the teams are practicing fend offs, and ways to beat them, although players say beating a fend off is not easy. Practice reaches a fever pitch when teams are about to play Geelong or Richmond
Holy bejesus is that Gleeson? Looks like he has been eating his spinach.
I think we need to see the next photo in the series.
As it stands there, Gleeson has both arms free and has kept his feet.
To be fair, the âFairestâ and Best in the League tried that too, and TIPPA smashed him as well.
TIPPA.
Gleeson was last reported on the way hospital.
Marty tries the fend off quite often in games. ( probably someone told him he has long arms) At first it never worked, but he is getting better at it. I have no problem with him practicing it.
On the other side of the coin, I seem to recall Sam Powell Pepper fending Marty off very effectively at least once in the game against Port.
Not many of our players try it. But be prepared. In 2018 âThe Packageâ will deliver fend offs that would make Dusty drool.
Looking more lean with each pre season that passes.
Has replaced the void that was left by Lovett love Tippa.
I think I miss Tippa more than I miss football.
When he tackled Dustin Martin in the forward pocket.
Cant stress just how important this guy is to our setup.
Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti (Essendon)
Ranked elite as a general forward. He ranked elite for forward-half pressure acts, while the team scored from 27 per cent of the turnovers his pressure acts forced.
Started from the back now weâre here.
ha. good one.
Coolest dude playing AFL.
âŠand he is OURS.
I want to see him whip the boots after a goal and moonwalk his way back to position.
Everyoneâs favorite player 
That pic makes a GREAT wallpaper!! Thanks.
If you zoom in youâll notice that Green is sitting on Wallaâs lap.
I sadly admit that âWheres Wallaâ came to mind.
