Hunter being given a bath by his opponent, too fast and running too hard.

He's in the 2's for a reason now

 

[doggies ftw]

Anyone been kept out for tonight?

Keath, Martin & Cleary playing - haven’t seen McNeil so I’m assuming he’s sub. I’d suggest someone plays a half - maybe Cleary

Thanks

I would have Cleary in Seniors before Hannan and the like

 

[Testekill]

Good run down tackle by Timbo.

 

[Testekill]

Hodge and Orgill looking like the suburban players that they're more suited as.

 

[Dogsman16]

can we put Darcy back up forward please.

 

[Testekill]

Darcy's direct opponent has two goals; one from losing the ball in the sun, the other from a free for front on contact.

 

[Testekill]

Two shots at goal so far and haven't even troubled the scoreboard.

 

[Testekill]

Bedendo has looked pretty hesitant out there.

 

[BEaston]

can we put Darcy back up forward please.

We're not winning anything in the 2s this year, more important to use the games to get a good look at different options.

 

[Testekill]

Raak roves his own dropped mark and kicks a goal.

 

[Testekill]

Stupid mistake from Duryea in defence.

 

[doggies ftw]

can we put Darcy back up forward please.

I think he looks great

The first one is what it is, the ball was put perfectly to his opponents advantage, we know he’s not going to outbody players in that situation

The 2nd one I thought he contested pretty well and was pretty stiff with the front on.

Very easy ball coming in both times

What I don’t agree with is the back, ruck, forward, back weekly rotation we have going on with him though. It’s just s**t.

Maybe I can understand us doing this if we’re genuinely trying to figure out where we want him but surely we know by now? Has to train all preseason in the one spot whether that’s forward or back, and play there next year

 

[doggies ftw]

Cleary looks like such a nice player, we really do have a good one here I think - and is what we need down there, he’s so hard at it, hopefully fills out nicely

 

[bobs head soup]

He's in the 2's for a reason now

Suspect it's more than 1 reason.

 

[Mr. Walker]

Keath playing???????????
Either my expert assessment that he has been playing injured is incorrect or the injury won’t get any worse through him playing.
( third option is that he has just been in poor form). I still think he should be in the ones but in Bev we trust

 

[Testekill]

We make this s**t so ******* difficult, 3rd time out on the fool.

And how the * do we not have someone on the wing out the back? Their winger is ripping us apart because he's always taking off running.

He is playing

He's been the elephant in the room all year really, has been quite poor

 

[doggies ftw]

AFL really needs to increase the list size and play a genuine nationals reserves, with everyone in the 2s a full time professional footballer.

It’s bullshit having talented kids having to play this standard of footy when the gulf is so big - it would 100% increase the overall talent pool of players having more professional, a higher level of reserves etc

We absolutely need it especially with talk of expansion

 

[Dogsman16]

Darcy needs to go forward. Let him develop in the same position.

And from a short term perspective we don't look like marking it whens he not up there.

 

[dergert]

No forward line at all.

 

[Testekill]

Double the inside 50s for 1.1, three out on the full as well. Absolutely pathetic

 

[DognBones]

Very scrappy 1st quarter by us. Out-worked, out-run and out- tackled for most of it. Need a bit of system, there ain't none.
