VFL VFL Round 6 v Southport - Saturday May 4th; 12:05pm @ Frankhauser Reserve.

Reefs always looked like a mid to me

Ryan will be delisted end of year. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it. Must have also played from the carpark last week.

I doubt that is going to happen...

I have absolutely zero hope that our VFL team will be playing in September to help keep everyone match fit for seniors if needed.

Score doesn’t matter

From our young boys I want to see:

• intent: both to push from contest to contest / chase (I’m thinking Taylor Adam’s desire / Wilbur last night when his gut running got him that holding the ball) as well as a willingness to get in tight / tough at stoppages
• nous / footy IQ

IMO everything else follows on from these as to the level they achieve


Thanks to all with comments - appreciate all views on players

To many players today have barely touched the ball. Left to few. What I’d give for a ruck

Tank
If he can get super fit he’d be a real weapon in there

 

[windchimes]

Kreuger’s tackling is unreal. He’s like Beau

 

[stormskye]

Bloody Krueger

 

[stormskye]

reef’s touches today have been sublime. Sets up another shot on goal

There is always training.

 

[What is a cakewalk]

Ash Johnson looks a lot more lively. Little spell down back has done him wonders.

Reef has been very good today.

Been classy today. Whatever his numbers, he is the standout performer in terms of the future.

And then kicks a nice goal from 55

It's a very young side, that currently has a few out with injuries. Hopefully as the season progresses, we see improvement in their performance....

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Allan very underwhelming again.
Big frame, zero usage.
Gotta get involved young man.

 

[ksardog]

McInnes to come in for McReery next week

He has a long, hard road ahead of him.

 

[stormskye]

Macrae and reef our best, though macrae dropped off in the last. Richard’s was ok with the chances he had. Not a lot else. Krueger will be better for the run.

We need a ruck

 

[ksardog]

I would try Allan off half back , looks lost out on a wing. With that height he needs to learn to mark the ball, otherwise it’s a waste. Maybe swap positions with he and Demattia

Agree with this take. He’s just always ball watching and never in the right spots. It’s uncanny

What haven't you like about Ryan's game?

completely unsighted today

 

[No SPIN]

I don't get it, I must be doing it wrong. Why do posters focus on poor play/errors from the Pies (maybe 80 per cent) and acknowledge our good play (maybe 20%)?

Reading the thread so far I thought we must have been uncompetitive, but I thought I'd have look at the coverage first hand to see for myself, and lo and behold Pies kicked maybe 5 or 6 that quarter to be 7 points down at half time.

I've returned the the game day thread, but you wouldn't know it from the posts.

PS - 2 positive posts posted since I've been typing this.

I can imagine your horror if you ventured into the Game day thread, during any match.

Yeah it’s not quite the same though. Better for our AFL side in finals if the VFL is also playing finals. In case anyone needs to be called up.

I wouldn’t be too worried about that.

Still plenty in the season to play.
