That's almost as depressing as the 1s
Freeman yes, definitely
Big difference playing basically park footy to receiving the ball from a Beams or Rich; No point Staker playing next week in front of him for mine

Fair point, if he can run the game out get him in there!Freeman yes, definitely

Actually not sure if Staker ran at all today anyway
Freeman needs to play as many games as possible this season. Be it the last 3 after some NEAFL conditioning or the final 7 starting with a home game against North this weekend.
Neither McStay or Freeman have the fitness base to perform consistently at AFL level, but they need senior games to learn our game style.
I watched McStay closely today; barely gets out of a jog 90% of the time. Really tough situation he's in at the moment, no other 20 year is leading a forward line without at least one decent foil.
For example, Hogan today - was very very good, especially early...but he gets a chop out from Chris Dawes.
How has Keays look in the ressies... interested he his quality of touches?

Each week this 'Around the Leagues' writeup on the AFL website annoys me. It's clear all they do is look at the stats completely ignorant to whether or not someone gets taken off at 3/4 time to be an emergency for the seniors or in this case gets injured early in the game.

Glad I didn't have to see another "mothering", also playing to finish last in the twos? Must get a couple more academy kids for free in the ressie draft then, yeah?

Great article by Mike Whiting.
Suns, Lions seek better solution to NEAFL woes
Personally I think the only real fix will be a national reserves comp but it doesn't seem likely that funding will be found for that. Wasn't too long ago that our NEAFL team was full of up and coming talent (The majority of the GH5 were there, alongside C Beams, Harwood & Golby most weeks) alongside more mature players (Stiller, Hawksley, Collier, Buchanan).
To be fair though, that didn't seem to do a great deal more to develop our players as they were just on the other side of 150 point thrashings.

Personally, I don't think he will. Has a bit to do development wise before getting a shot at first grade.
Of course, our run of injuries could continue and he could get a call up then.
Needs to have this deficiency pointed out to him, forcefully. No side can afford to carry a defensive gap, apart from the exceptional example of JB. And he tried harder than McStay.
Not sure how high his running capacity is or what coaches' instructions are, so those are the only reasons I am cutting him a lot of slack for his season (and the major fact that he just turned 20 last month).
Should also say in respect of McStay that he shows a lot of marking ability which might become a real asset come the assistance of a KPF if he ever arrives.

I thought the reserves team was playing at 7:20?

Not that silly a comment really. If done as they did last year, they only let you into one section of the ground for the ressies. Terrible viewing, because it's just to the side of goal and no big screen to see what's going on down the other end.
