2020 Scratch Matches.

If Kelly came on strong would he be competing with Mihocek for a position at the moment? I'm assuming he isn't the forward w/ ruck relief ala Cox and Cameron.

He'd be the true Key Forward. Whose spot would he be vying for, hard to say. Could be Cox, just teach him a little ruck craft. Wouldn't need much since Grundy does 90%.

I assume the rules are still the same around having to play a Victorian side in scratch matches. Every other Victorian side is playing one another this week other than the Bulldogs who have Sydney.

Hopefully we schedule one against the Dogs for Friday? Anyone heard anything?

Maybe as with the 2nd Wave of Covid 19 looks like Coming Thru they might Cancel the Scratch Matches

Players and staff are still getting tested 2-3 times a week though. They'll keep the scratch matches going for as long as they keep playing games IMO.

Here’s a review of the squad that took part in the 16v16 scratch match.

FLYNN APPLEBY
Playing on the half forward flank, Appleby returned for his first game since an ankle injury. Lively performance with two goals, one from 50m on the run. Pressure elite. One of the better players on the day.

ATU BOSENAVULAGI
Used his speed to his advantage across half forward and some minutes in the midfield. Pressure around the football was impressive. Looks threatening at times.

TIM BROOMHEAD
21 disposals out of the forward line with bursts on the ball. Kicked two majors. Skill level very good.

MASON COX
13 marks and one goal. Cox had a significant presence up forward and in the air. Chopped out Lynch in the ruck when needed.

LYNDEN DUNN
Second appearance in over a year after rupturing his ACL in a VFL match. Leadership qualities with younger players very impressive. Positive aerial work from Dunn.

MARK KEANE
Two weeks since returning from isolation, Keane had his first hit-out which meant he was on game restrictions. Skills out of defence very good considering he hadn’t touched a football much of late.

WILL KELLY
Two goals and seven marks playing forward as a lead up option. Aerial work very strong. Development is tracking in the right direction.

MAX LYNCH
Rucked all day. Carried good form from Richmond scratch match the week before. Aerial work good. Clearly has worked hard over the break with two back-to-back performances.

NATHAN MURPHY
Started off half back and then moved onto the wing. Murphy’s first opportunity on the wing that showed promising signs. Used confidence to hit difficult targets. Stepped up from the Richmond game the previous week.+

ISAAC QUAYNOR
Run and carry off the half back line was good. Held his own against his opponent.

JAY RANTALL
Work rate king, big GPS numbers. Mainly played through the midfield. First full game since the COVID-19 return.

TREY RUSCOE
Playing a variety of roles in his first year at the club. Progressing well.

MATT SCHARENBERG
Breaking lines out of defence with his risk taking. Positive impact on the game.

BRAYDEN SIER
Played midfield all day. Connection with Lynch in the ruck was positive with a number of clearances.

JOSH THOMAS
Dropped from the senior side, returned with a good attitude. 18 disposals and two goals. Spent his time up forward and in the midfield.

ADAM TRELOAR
First hit-out since the Marsh Series, got through the game unscathed. Ran out the game and found plenty of the ball. Plenty of time in the midfield breaking lines and providing the football to the forwards. A solid four-quarter effort.

TRAVIS VARCOE
Rebound option off the half back line. Used his speed to carry the football. Starting to hit full fitness. Leadership with younger players impressive.

TOM WILSON
Mainly played on the wing, spent a brief time up forward. Aerial skills very good. Significant growth in his game since arriving at the club.


Collingwood 10.3 (63)
St Kilda 11.6 (72)

Goals: Appleby 2, Broomhead 2, Thomas 2, Kelly 2, Sier, Cox

Looks like he might be Ready

How’d Nathan Brown go for the Saints?

I heard his name get called out a fair bit so I think he did pretty well. Pretty solid down in defence.

Geez, reading that review you'd think they're all on line for recall.
I doubt they all played as well as that reads.

I say that is Accurate.

That why I like watching the Reserves so I can make my own mind up who played well and who did not

Broomy's 21 possessions and Coxy's 13 marks in 4x 10 minute quarters is pretty impressive. I guess 16 a side makes it a more open contest.

Its accurate. They all played pretty well. Just I think St Kilda's experienced players got them over the line in the end.

 

[Jen2310]

Was more than 10 min quarters. Game went for 2 hrs.

21 possessions and 2 goals.....The Broom sweepeth......!

 

[jackcass]

Was more than 10 min quarters. Game went for 2 hrs.

That makes the numbers a little less impressive but alternatively it's nice that guys returning from injury issues like Treloar and Cox can go that sort of distance.

Cox had a quiet first half, but got better in the 2nd as it went on. Which is not unusual for him.

 

[Bramax]

He’d have to be doing some amazing things to replace Mihocek. mihocek would be close to first picked every week.

What a great pick up he’s been. Great story, good for him, great for the Pies.

Or for any player really in this current environment coming off limited to now preparation.

That's right.

Well.. except Treloar. Who performed strongly throughout the whole game.
