Yes I did. Did you assess our defensive work as lacking and how that translates to senior level?


I get where you are coming from but we wouldn’t have had to worry about our defensive work IF the umpiring was on a fair level.

We got the 4pts & that is what matters.
 
Very off topic, but how has laconic come to mean laidback in AFL, when it comes from Laconia, a city of Sparta, and means terse, of few words?

I'm not suggesting laid back. I'm looking at more mysterious, and a lack of being superfluous and elaborative. He's very meat and potatoes. Almost a little dull with his playing style.
 
VFL App doesn't record frees, but 1/2 way through final 1/4 the commentators said 27/12 favouring Sandringham. Wow, what a discrepancy?

The AFL app does record frees in match stats.

In the end it was 12 - 30 their way

Saints got multiple goals and several momentum shifts from bewildering free kicks. I'm not concerned.
 
Walks is bums on seats that's why they will put everything into getting him.
Showed his fantastic ability at vfl level with 25 influenceful touches on limited time. Likely to go a long way at afl level with us.
Hope it doesn't go to his head, interviewed after the game then doing selfie after selfie with jubilant supporters.
 
Charleson is a player. Showed a bit of mongrel too. A very reliable kick, which we don't have an abundance of.

Moir very important in 2 of Ison's goals. Can do the impossible, but is adding the quality moments that aren't reflected on the stats sheet.

Wilson not as good this week, but surely he is knocking on the door.

Great to see Ison with another 3 goals and Billy continuing to get plenty of the ball. Exciting.
Billy wasn’t great.

There’s possessions & turnovers - Billy handed a few back today - by no means the Lone Ranger.

The Run & Gun transition style is super dangerous - if movement ahead of the ball isn’t good, turnover central.

We are terrible at defending turnovers.

It must be so hard as a coach balancing & building R&G, knowing when to slow it down with kick mark.

It’s all about having the right list balance & learning it until it’s 2nd nature like Brisbane.

Kick, mark out of D50, then running past for quick hands to out speed on the play coming into F50.

CW almost a carbon copy of AW but more explosive around the ball? Looks like he will be a gun, just hope he can get better with his kicking. I think his dad did over time but was never a great user.
AW was an average decision maker and kick, has Cody got this sorted?
