Pre Season Hit Out vs Geelong

[madbluboy]

Lewis Young should be staking his claim for Round 1... .. but he's not.

I was gonna write that but I held off. I wouldn't want him on Daniher or Hipwood.

Harry has no issues from 45. That 15m is a bit of an issue though.

Gee I hope we are going half speed, because we have looked unorganised and lazy!

Noticed the same thing. When he kicks through the ball he looks good, when he tries to 'massage' the shot, all bets are off. It's as if he just thinks too much with the closer in shots ...perhaps just be more instinctual when shooting for goal - with maximum force, regardless of distance.

[Baggers]

The only worry for moi was Young. Not near it.

Kempy was ordinary but will improve with the hitout.

Maybe he needs to try to kick it into Jolimont Station when he is 15m out.

We were. No way I'd be going hard in those conditions at 38 deg with a hot, swirling northerly in a scratch match. We had 4 weeks less pre-season than Geelong too.

Looked like our focus was to bring others into the game whereas the Pussycats played simple, maximize opportunities, footy.

(noticed late in the game when Saad was running through half back, and being pursued, that Young could have offered a shepherd but did SFA - lazy stuff).

Form of Young wasnt encouraging and Kemp looked unsure of himself a few times...a backline minus Weitering doesnt enthuse comfort for supporters. Harry did ok in general play but I think the reality is he will always be an iffy kick and miss some bunnies and we just have to accept it like Collingwood had to with Travis Cloke and just hope he is on when playing the big finals.
I wouldnt be too concerned about losing in such hot conditions and was more glad we didnt seem to sustain any injuries....
re: Commentary....didnt mind hearing a biased Carlton viewpoint with Ed in the box and he probably still wishes he was playing...

Must be a Kayo thing.
I'll reboot and see if it makes a difference..there's probably a 30 second delay.

(Edit: fixed)

For Kayo try that trick of running it in SD Quality, especially if you are watching via a web browser, it fixes a lot of stuttering and sync issues.
