Game Day Sandringham v Richmond Trevor Baker Oval Sandringham 2.10 29/9 - Live Stream

[Phar Ace]

Has mabs gone past Lynch...
They’re on similar coin aren’t they?

You talking pounds and piasters OR dollars and cents?

 

[Barnzy]

Coleman-Jones (a second year ruckman) currently has DOUBLE the amount of touches as Collier-Dawkins (a midfielder).

No first round pick midfielder should ever be this far off the pace. I think he will be a monumental bust.

You can picture the recruiters saying "He's kid with a lot of development in his body left" "He goes through the middle a bit but struggle to find the ball" "We may have the next Fyfe"

The trouble is Fyfe is a once a decade type stroke of luck (almost) in which his ball winning ability was hidden by playing forward, then accelerated by turning into a hulk like midfielder.

Picking midfielders who struggle to find the ball in the juniors is fraught with danger. Spending a first round pick on them is madness.

Paid off with Dangerfield...

When you're picking as late as we were, you have to make some trade-offs. Will it pay off? Who knows, but the potential is there.

Do NoT make a call on a first year player 5min into their career that’s armchair nuffy stuff. I made that mistake once thinking Pettifer was destined to be a star after his first game and have probably only made one bad call since ,,,,,when I said the 2017 GF would be close

Pettifer is a star.
For Kyabram.
No armchair Nuffy stuff about it.
Each time i've seen him play he's been underwhelming.

Some of those live feeds do my head in. I find the ones at Punt Road particularly bad and can’t pick up players on the far side of the ground.
Still better than no coverage I suppose and commentators are usually entertaining

Potential is definitely there despite some up and down performances. At the time thought he was the right pick and still do

Walsh, Rozee, Bailey Smith, Blakey, Butters, Jordan Clarke, Dursma - have all been great first year players but were all picked before RCD (pick 20).

After pick 20 the 2 best first year talents in the competition have been Stack and Ross.

Once again RCD averaged 18 disposals a game last year in the U18s playing as a forward with bursts in the middle. Let him build his tank over a couple of preseasons and then judge whether he is a bust or not.

Others see what has yet to be seen and look to see more"

Why does Butler wear 11 and Higgins 5 in the VFL?

 

[Valixir]

Why does Butler wear 11 and Higgins 5 in the VFL?

Some numbers aren't printed at the start of each year. Ie; they would likely never print 4, 8, 9 or 18 because of the likelihood of needing the numbers. When Vlastuin returned via a VFL game he also wore a different number. I think the 11 was made because they knew Castagna was always returning via the VFL in R1.
