Have rated banch’s game. Still feel he was stiff to be dropped over Spargo.

Been our best AFL listed player imo.

Goater 2nd.

The fact that Scott can’t kick for shit at this level shows where he’s at

Goat and Whitlock having a genuine crack. Dawson battling well.

Goater genuinely hates whenever he gets beaten.

Looks completely checked out. Just going through the motions.

 

[Dinkers]

You can have both you know

Of course but if I was given one option ...

 

[ferball]

Goad would want to be carrying something because his effort is non existent

He's definitely got something going on. Normally he moves faster even without making an effort. I haven't seen him get near top speed once, even medium speed.

Just then he was chasing and was slow as (for him.)

 

[Uneik]

Completely uncompetitive, especially in the second half. A real lack of interest out there.

This coach is absolutely useless, decission's are bad on-ground.

 

[shinboner magic]

Will be interesting if the list management team cut out these average players

 

[Loose_Cannon]

B George with the late chase down. Good signs from him

 

[shintemaster]

Keast, McPherson, Dow all one paced bull butchers.

Looks better when you have a defensively minded mid in Fairlie in there.

Hard to believe we have zero midfield depth either Urqs out.

Probably the big issue for us AFL wise out of this. We are building good quality in the midfield at AFL level but the lack of available <21 true mid options at VFL shows we are light on long term.

 

[SWMD]

Oh we have a chase, first decent run down tackle of the day...who was that? Brayden George, nice.

Came from way back, that intent and pace stood out like dogs balls.

 

[Loose_Cannon]

Just a general observation, but boy if this was a UFC or boxing match it looks like different weight classes out there. GWS look bigger and thicker across all lines. We need a Rubgy pack weight metric for this and we'd be short 200kgs I reckon.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

We looked off from the start and it largely stayed that way. We fumbled a lot more, and our short kicking and handballing was poor. The umpiring was even poorer than usual as well.

Goat, Whitlock and Banch were the only ones to win their positions.

Ain't nothing wrong with that.

 

[muttley45]

I assume they were local umpires, bad all day, but late in the last Q, Nth forward in front, going for a contested mark, gets wrapped up by a defender behind him, and then pinged with a free kick against for holding, wtf ?

 

[Dinkers]

Ha so they had Gruzeskl , Brown and Riccardi combine for a lazy ten goals.

Not really a head scratcher this one.

 

[r00boy96]

Some people have no patience with Hardeman. He worked his way into it and played a good game in the end.

Another good thing to come out of a miserable game was Goater getting through healthy again and I thought he also played a decent game.

 

[Merlin007]

Goad gave an excellent display as to why CCJ was contracted as the back-up ruck.

 

[Friday Night Lights]

We sure Goad is a ruckman?

 

[Ichiro #51]

Goater was a positive. Still at least a couple more VFL games before a potential call up.

Whitlock had moments from very limited opportunities. I’m absolutely 100% in the should be playing back camp though. There’s a spot for a mobile athletic tall in the AFL side right now. Give the bloke a chance to take it ffs.

Banch is honest. George got through another game I spose.

Dawson is a major concern for me. He’s just far too slow of body and mind.

I hope Goad was injured or ill and didn’t just leave all of his confidence in a puddle out in the middle.

 

[the big lebowski]

This umpiring is deplorable.

It’s like they were brought in from the local basketball ball game

 

[DocSholl]

I don't mind Goad

Goad was hobbling quite a bit and spent a lot of time in the forward line

 

[franjon]

Not convinced by the change from Lynch to Macron.

I think they've bigger plans for Lynch but I can't say I disagree.

 

[R00StaR]

Ive not seen the game but the reports on Goad doesn't surprise me. I understand unicorns take time, but it looks like he's told and believes he's a unicorn with the VFL just a place to graze and pass the time away. Lots of fun, heaps of fun n that. Problem is he's yet show any signs he's more than a colorful horse.

Ok maybe a few small glimpses, but makes Lachy Hansen look manic.
