Not sure. But I hear he hates pretzels.
Top grade. Below is cued to Redman screaming at a poor kid to give it to Hartley because heâs 65 out and that means heâs in easy one-step-and-kick range.

im sold. BRING HIM IN
Ahaha! Thatâs fantastic
Same would occurred with Fletch in area. He would have dobbed it though. And not in VFL.
A good focus on tackling and defence. Vibe seemed pretty good.
Donât reckon Hurley will play thatâs ok keep him cherry ripe for Dreamtime.
Myers donât argue in stoppage drill puts Langford on his â â â .
I didnât know Myerâs had a donkey.
Donkeyâs can be stubborn, at least he got Langford on it in the end, hopefully he got it moving.
For a second there I thought that Davey might have been putting The Langford in his place.
Hopefully Langers gets his own back or at least gets the Draper to close the curtains on Myerâs window.
Couple of notes.
Mostly a craft/drills day, a little bit of match sim. A good focus on tackling and defence. Vibe seemed pretty good.
BZT has some serious potential, once he puts some size on.
Ridley is as good a kick as anyone at the club, maybe even the best. Makes good decisions and is able to execute almost perfectly.
Long had a bad day. Missed some targets and lost the ball too easily under pressure.
Langford would be better served taking the first option more than what he does.
Francis did a couple of very nice things.
Colyer back and on rehab oval.
Mutch ran laps.
Heppell had a pretty light session.
These stats from the EFC website (from the Geelong game) might explain Heppellâs light session:
Distance kings
- Dyson Heppell 15.2km
- Patrick Ambrose 14.5
- Devon Smith 14.4
I donât understand how Mc Kenna has such a beautiful action, drop and follow through at full speed that can make the ball go dead straight from 50 metres out, bounce and still maintain itâs speed and direction forward, and the majority of the team raised in this country stutter, hook, loop and highball their kicks that maintain no direction
Any sighting of Myers talking to coaching staff and holding photos or damning evidence?
Smarter than me.
Irish players get their kicking techniques built from the ground up in a professional environment without 10+ years of bad habits to fix. On top of which theyâre generally powerful kicks in the first place, otherwise clubs wouldnât bother with them.
Also their ball drop has to be lower and guide it perfectly. Round ball, wet weather etc.
To kick their ball accurately when running straight requires technical perfection really.
Itâs all about the ball drop⌠you see how Ablett kicks and Conor is fairly similar IMO
Heppell has always trained lightly I reckon
Do you think Hurley will play? Is it common for a player to return after that type of training session?

This explanation is more than a little bit like how mountain bikers have a better pedal actions than road bikers and hence make better road bikers than pure road bikers.
This is because maintaining traction on dirt going up a hill requires a very even pedal stroke that doesnât waste any momentum or produce energy wasting mini accelerations and decelerations which would produce skids. On the bitumen these faults are not as obviously noticeable.
The upshot of this is perhaps that in Aussie Rules, there should be kicking training at an early age using a more difficult to kick ball, or even all junior footballs should be more difficult to kick.
I wouldnât mind for primary school aged football to be round making marking and kicking easier on a basic level, but harder at a more advanced level.
If it works for the Irish âŚ
Thanks Scarey: here comes AFL-Y, played on a soccer pitch with a round ball.
Why (Y), you may ask?

Marge, the rains are âere!
Corny
Points very well too.
Must definitely be considered as a Goddard replacement (once he retires)
