VFL Round 3 v Brisbane Punt Road Oval Saturday 5th April 11.05am

[THE_GUN]

98% of our team are vfl players

Yeah but the 2% are amazing

 

[Groupie_]

weve Richmonded lalor

 

[Lord of the Wings]

smilie not in the bests is concerning

Should have picked Tauru

 

[Chunky09]

Well the old stock standard third quarter blood bath is engaged.

Predictable but still hard to sit through

 

[cairo tiger]

look who you are replying to.... (with due respect G)

yea what have you done cowboy

 

[Bojangles17]

mccarthy is an elite reader of the ball how many time he hits it at high speed doesnt have to break stride.

There’s something about that guy , in the game I watched at beacy he caught the eye in couple of passages of play , he has that time with the footy , never looks rushed , one to watch. If he can maintain this output or perhaps better it , he could be in mid season calcs

 

[Bojangles17]

F me Faull has strong hands

 

[Bojangles17]

So pumped about Alger, Simms and Faulls games.

Faull has vice hands.

They've picked up some great Vfl listed players yet again. Best vfl program in the business.

And we’ve promoted the recruiter to our Vic recruiting manager , good choice this bloke has more connections than al Capone

 

[Bojangles17]

Smillie went off in the third with “another injury, or a little niggle” - Jake Batchelor post game

Was thinking earlier who we were gonna LTI to get Raso onto the list , could be between gibcus or smillie

 

[Bojangles17]

if only he was a bit younger, i dont reckon were in the market for mature age vfl recruits atm.

24 is ok

 

[fargothegreat]

I wonder how it will work against the AFL academy next week. Batch said we might see some AFL listed guys in that, even though it's not an official game.

Hopefully there's a stream of some sort.

Will be on AFL site i think

 

[wegetpumped]

Was so impressed with the effort today and they seem to be binding beautifully. Faus was really really good after slow first 2 games looks like our new Lynch. Sim fantastic, Alger really a goer and Gray this guys has improved so much and is still improving. Looking forward to some more games of this side.

Smillie went off in the third with “another injury, or a little niggle” - Jake Batchelor post game

10 disposals in a half....a niggle.

Would the club select him next week.

No promotion to AFL game this week.
sama sama for

The LTI doesn't exist anymore, rookies can play any time.

Now we need player retirements to free up list spots.

Club lists are always full. Main lists and rookie lists..

If Young or Prestia retired off the main list mid 205 & we take a MSD player, I think the AFL give clubs 6 months to tidy up.
With main list players getting traded/delisted at the end of the season.


RFC doesn't have 1st pick for the MSD.

Raso is 171

 

[bc27]

Going to be interesting how we fit in all these talls in 3-4 seasons.

Faull and Armstrong as your two key position forwards.
Sims as a rotating fwd/Ruck but playing all three plus a genuine ruck may be a bit tall.
Is there a future for a Fawcett in this group?

Trainor, Gibcus, Balta as your key backs.

Ryan, Bauer, Young, Miller, Lefau all still unknown.

It’s an exciting and a good problem to have. We can see that the future is bright.

You can take a MSD if you have a LTI

 

[Ashman OG]

We all pot shot Hopper and Taranto but hoping yesterday can be the new standard going forward.

61 touches, 15 score involvements and 9 tackles combined. Against a stacked midfield as well.

5 LTI _ACLs at the club 2024/2025 ....how have RFC been using the LTI list?

They did well yesterday but they are so sloppy with their possessions. People complain about their kicking, but their handball is pretty uncreative. But at least they stood up. Brisbane mids are not overly quick, McCluggage, Dunkley, Raynor, Berry, even Neale and the Ashcroft's are not fast mids. Our forward line was pretty good, backs good but when they put the foot down our mids were swamped.

That just seems crazy, that you can’t take a MSD pick due to a LTI. Wasn’t that the main reason it was introduced?

 

[tigs2010]

They took Blight & Grey for starters. Passed on 3rd pick. Hotton came after.

None of the ACLs are out all this season so we don't currently have a pick

Gut feel says Dion late out.
