Sounds likebasketball or soccer? That observation has been made. ã€€ã€€The NAB Cup, practice matches by another name, showcased notjust new recruits but the manner in which sides will seek to playthis year. So far it has been a disturbing picture of deepfull-press running and abandoned forward lines. ã€€ã€€Both sides pushed numbers behind the ball, though Collingwoodmore often kept fewer at home than the Tigers. The result was agame of rebound and almost opportunist scoring which ended in aCollingwood victory by 46 points to advance to the semi-finals ofthe competition. ã€€ã€€Collingwood suggested it will be a side of numbers back and hardrunning to load up and rebound from half-back. When it works infinding a forward on the end of the thrust it looks sharp. When noforward is left inside 50 and the opposition spreads four playersacross the vacancies it looks tedious and unimpressive. On oneoccasion Shane O'Bree ran towards the 50-metre arc on his left sideand, acknowledging he is not a long kick of the ball, attempted atorpedo on his left foot on the run just to try and reach thegoal. ã€€ã€€Be it fatigue, superior disposal, or structuring its forwardline better for the game plan, Collingwood broke open thefinal-quarter kicking five objectives — including one supergoal— to just three points. ã€€ã€€While structurally it looked better in the final term with JohnAnthony and Nathan Brown remaining closer to goal to help TravisCloke, it will look the better when Anthony Rocca is in the goalsquare and Paul Medhurst in a pocket. ã€€ã€€Ben Reid began key forward then shifted back, then went forwardagain and Brent Macaffer found a place in the forward line. Helooked handy in the first quarter, handpassing a crumbed ball inthe goal square to John McCarthy to goal. Unfortunately he injureda leg in the second term and was taken from the ground. ã€€ã€€Of the debutants Richmond's Tyrone Vickery turned thetight-checking Simon Prestigiacomo inside out on the forward flankin the third term and then lifted a pass across to Jack Riewoldt.Given his age the surprise was as much that he did not look much asif he was a boy playing with men. ã€€ã€€Likewise Collingwood's Dayne Beams, though that might have asmuch to do with the teenager's Dane Swan-like eye-catchingfull-sleeve tattoo as his strength and poise around thecontest. ã€€ã€€He impressed early with strong hands to hold his ground and markas an opponent descended upon him.Cool of dazzle wholesale jordans.
