Intra Club Practice Match

Re: Intra Club Practice Match

Welcome to the vast majority of his goals for Williamstown last season, if he wasn't kicking a goal from advantage after an infringement against a Willy forward, he was cutting in front of Little as he was about to mark in the clear on a lead. I said at the end of 2010 I question how many of Hooper's goals would've been goals to other team mates anyway.

Doesn't matter about ifs and buts, the fact is he got those goals.

Great for him, don't see how it helps the team.

On the right hand side of the club's website there are some video highlights:

Re: Intra Club Practice Match

I liked the hardness, pace and presence of Djerrkura and am not as worried about his kicking as others - his goal came from roving the centre bounce and then running straight down the guts and and was a bit Cooney-like. The knock on him from Geelong seemed to be that he struggled to find the ball, but he found lots of it on Saturday.

Although he was beaten by Hall, Markovic impressed me more than I thought he would. he played the angles ok and was unlucky to concede a couple of the goals and Hall was close to the League's best big forward last year and benefited from some precise ball movement. What Markovic did show was good movement off the ball, excellent disposal from both sides of the body,and the general sense that he could be an attacking weapon (he set up a goal with a spearing left-foot pass into the forward line).

Fine post RT

I thought I'd echo a few of your comments. Picken was very good and is just a gun. I thought DJ certainly showed he could find the ball. Whether his disposal is an issue will be more apparent over the next few weeks. However, I dont view him as a crumbing forward and view him as a midfielder.

Markovic is a fine kick, and you are right Hall got at least two really easy ones. I think given Lakes injury status that Markovic has to play in the pre-season. If he doesn't play when Lake isn't then I cant see why he is on the list. Couldn't get a guage of his pace, or lack of. For me, he absolutely has to play this week.

Re: Intra Club Practice Match

Am glad to hear Markovic went ok. I recall being very underwhelmed with him in last years practice match. Agree that he should play in the NAB cup.

Re: Intra Club Practice Match

Mulligan? I haven't been impressed with anything i've seen of him since he's been at the club (mainly due to him walkign outside the boundary in civies most of the time). He's on the primary list and he started at FB in the I/C game. He'll surely get a run in at least one of the NAB cup matches this week.

Re: Intra Club Practice Match

Not looking at players but did anyone see a game plan ? If so what do any of you think it is?
From a little I took in it looked like we were opening up for Hall to be one out at times.

Re: Intra Club Practice Match

I couldn't see anything that suggested that there has been a change in the way we play. Which worries me in that we will struggle when the pressure goes up.

Yeah, goals don't count

I'd just prefer to see him create a goal rather than poach of his team mates, hardly a big request.

Re: Intra Club Practice Match

What type of forward does he look like being?

or is it to early to tell.

Tricky to tell as he's quite likely going to fill out more. He's a solid kid but you can tell he can fill out a lot more, Isn't starting from as far back as Minson and Cordy did when they were first drafted.

I can say that he moves very well, looks very co-ordinated, quick,
skillfull, has a good leap, and looks strong in the air and down low.

For someone who from memory had a knee reco? not too long ago and hasn't had much footy of late, he's looking pretty good for a first year key tall.

Tom looks more like a classic CHF at the moment but he'll be one to watch closely.

Re: Intra Club Practice Match

In the video link there are some good highlights.

I didn't realize that it was vezpremi that kicked that goal, thought it was gia for some reason.

Also you can see Tom Hill take a mark in the very last passage of play.
