VFL Pies v Dons

[faible]

Tex looks significantly bigger than last year, doing some nice things.

 

[BomberFan355]

Some nice movement there.

 

[ant555]

hope we get the chance to draft nyko in midseason. Could be anything type. His play type is Warner Bros Tassie Devil.

Looks a likely type. I like Foley . He keeps getting better.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Roberts tackling has been excellent as well. Complete little player.

Has to be next in line

 

[ant555]

Gray is Laycock reincarnated.

Has a real crack but he is a bit unco .

 

[FootyGuru]

Peris can play. Tsatas Robert’s Shiel and guilfi look a cut above VFL

 

[Ati Tude]

Roberts playing forward. Wonder if they see a spot there in AFL as being available rather than defence.

 

[BrunoV]

Gray is Laycock reincarnated.

He doesn't have the skill and grace of the great man but he does have a rude side step and an instinct for things that seem well beyond what his ability appears to be.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Tex looks significantly bigger than last year, doing some nice things.

I reckon he could be really good, if he can stay fit.

 

[ant555]

Decent quarter . Had all the play but kicked a lot of points.

Shiel good but he is basically playing the same role as Parish .
Tsatas still getting a bit of the footy but like Shiel where does he get in right now.

Roberts very good.

Hayes doing what he does.

Weideman solid in defence.

Caddy quiet.

Looks a tricky matchup with his size and movement. No easy thing but as one of the commentators mentioned needs to develop a little polish.

Just a little
He is like a crazy giraffe

 

[Red Black and Blue]

One of the smoothest back handed compliments I've ever seen.

 

[BrunoV]

1/2 Time.

I'm still not impressed with Tsatas. He's playing inside and grinding the game out well but there has been no value for his possessions.

Lual and Roberts are the stand outs for me. Lual clean with the ball and decisive. Stands his ground in a contest. Roberts is everywhere. Part of the reason I didn't comment on him in the first quarter is because he is playing on the wing on the same side of the ground as the camera filming the game. I looked at his stats and he only had it 4 times to quarter time. He's everywhere and it's not because he follows the ball. He works extremely hard to hold position on the wing to always be that outlet. He's impressive.

Vigo did a few more nice things that quarter. Ran a small down for HTB. Kicked a goal used his body a bit. He handles the ball really well and it very clean by hand and foot. He's playing deep forward and only a little on ball and his overall numbers reflect that.

Bryan playing well but it's not more than the numbers. He really needs to impose himself and destroy Begg now. Enough of the finness. Smash the ball forward.

Tex continues to look shard when he is in the play but the ball just isn't following him around. Should have just had that shot he passed off to Shiel. We're getting full value for his possessions. His kicking has been really good.

Hayes has not had a stack to do. The thing that I will take from his game is that he is running with McInnes on the lead and McIness is a very quick play. I like that.

Of the VFL guys Hartley continues to be the stand out mid on the ground (although he missed a snap for goal he really should have kicked). He is very clean with the ball despite winning a lot of hardball.

Foley has something about him. Moves well, has decent skills and always seems to make the right decision, come out on top. I don't have a specific passage of play in mind, and I'm not really familiar with him, but it's very much 'there his is again', 'that was good, oh yeah it was him again'.

I also like Nyko. Looks like he plays and he looks like Lachie Jones. Does not have that level of power but he's very dynamic and clean with the ball.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Need to give Caddy a run in the guts to get him into the game.

 

[BrunoV]

Tsatas has just kicked the ball to Ned Long and then scuffed one near the boundary. 2 more 'possessions'.

These are not isolate incidents.

 

[BrunoV]

+1 kick down the line for 40m gained that rebounded straight back because it did not go to the forward's advantage.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Tsatas is just all instinct. Tries to take the first option every time. Works nicely in close but not so much when he has space. Needs to work with whoever got McGrath to slow down.

 

[BrunoV]

+1 turnover out of defence

 

[NAB777]

Tsatas' kicking is woeful. I watch U14's every week with better disposal.

 

[Nicholas61]

+1 turnover out of defence

Needs to stay in the VFL until/if that stuff gets ironed out.

 

[Yoda_]

would not surprise if Will Hoare is given an opportunity on a 6 - month deal come mid season

Been very impressed, albeit limited today

 

[ant555]

Third quarter crash again.

 

[BrunoV]

Great impresonation of Parish there. Runs from the centre clearance, no pressure, kicks it straight to the opposition.

More metres gained.
