I am watching Aus U18 vs Casey demon . Very good quality match .

Happy to see trimmed Scheer running all day. But his disposal was no good, also lacking speed, urgency in contest.Brad Scheers disposal was appalling for the most part
Needs to get those kicks low and hard-looping and missing at the moment
Otherwise he's coming along nicely
Easily the most effective mid for us today and ran all day
Started game with already heavily strapped knee.Ah Chee injured
Agree, in defence he is very ordinary. I think he can make it in midfield or may be I am too optimistic. So far his disposal got worse this year.Dawson much better up in the midfield
Only 2 AFL standard players for me today if spots would be available - Corbett and Young.
Day looks really bad - too heavy, slow, can't hold on marks.
Corbett took 10 marks with terrible delivery. Watch out!
So soHow was his shooting at goal?
So so
I'm sure Sam, over the distance, has been one of the genuinely good guys on our list. The 13/14 period was good in terms of him getting on the field, but I don't know that using him as a stop-gap for our deficiencies/injuries during that time helped his development.Possibly Day's hip may have caught up with him. Poor bloke.
1.2How was his shooting at goal?
Contract up end of this year tooI'm sure Sam, over the distance, has been one of the genuinely good guys on our list. The 13/14 period was good in terms of him getting on the field, but I don't know that using him as a stop-gap for our deficiencies/injuries during that time helped his development.
I'm disappointed for him, he never got a clear run at it.
Given he's an SA boy that seems to like it up here, I wonder if there's a role for him at the club — we have a stack of Adelaide kids that might need a role model?Contract up end of this year too
Why do we get flogged like this every year?
There’s enough listed players for us to expect better than this
Because they usually top up with academy or local kids so not enough mature bodies.. the whole suns neafl program needs a major overhaul and has done for a long time.. imo you can’t expect players to develop when topped up with high school students
So how do GWS, Dodge City Lions and the Ugly Ducks top Up their NEAFL teams??
They seem to have more mature rookies instead of mostly academy players and use more mature bodied top ups.. peel probably got a better idea
The quality mature ages are playing in VFL , WAFL and SANFL. GCS don't need Nutting , Dawson type but Hanley type from International rookie B , or Australia basketball /other sport background with agility and endurance .Can’t we get more mature bodies top ups then?
If not from the NEAFL then QAFL teams like Palm Beach, Labrador, Broadbeach etc.
Sorry but the suns neafl had more listed players than GWS today. They also top up with academy as do swans and lions.
We have a few 19 year olds contracted Keonan is one of them.
The academy boys did ok from what I saw. The listed players need to do better I reckon, and let’s be honest with this reset they talk about means lots of younger listed players in the NEAFL, plenty of them will not make it.
I normally watch NeAFL YouTube , but the quality were so bad I gave up and watch Aus U 18 kids playing VFL Casey Demons .We need to stop making excuses for getting flogged by the other AFL Reserves Teams in the NEAFL.
Over it.
It’s embarrassing.

Then what's the problem with your NEAFL team?GC currently have 39 on Senior list
5 on rookie list
Sam Fletcher replace Wigg {LTI)
2 Rookie B ( Heron and Dawson)
9- U19 academy member .
Ok , Sam Day , Nicholls, Risca,young were senior other all age 23 or below .Then what's the problem with your NEAFL team?
How many U18 academy kids played and why, at this time of year?
How many senior players in the NEAFL team.
The discussion was based on why the Suns NEAFL team not have enough mature bodies in it.
Our NEAFL team last week and this week had 7 mature players in it, albeit with the exception of Matty Eagles, they're still 26 or under. Of the Seven, four are AFL standard, while the other three are borderline AFL standard (but are the prime candidates for delisting at the end of the season).
