VFL 2022 Reserves

[Bloods86]

Two beautiful kicks out of defence from Gould early. If he can get his game together consistently he could still be a weapon.

Pity Geddes absolutely muffed it

Amartey presenting well, miss aside

Was that Ronke who kicked the ball 15 metres sideways to a lewis taylor

Ladhams wearing #23

Pity his kicking isn't as good

 

[SwansProudly]

Pity his kicking isn't as good

yeah last 2 kicks out of bounds on the full

 

[Bloods86]

Ugh, Ronke deciding to snap from a slight angle about 25 out, missing.

Getting absolutely no favours from his targets up the ground...

 

[Punts]

Ladhams come on

 

[Gimmeafree]

And the free kick count is 8-2 Bulldogs. umps are practising whistle blowing for the main event next week.

Great to hear

 

[wills2g]

Vfl side looks clean for the most part. Its the finishing kick that is letting us down.

However its good to see the game plan the seniors are using is trickling down into the 2s

Some pretty good kicking so far

 

[Bloods86]

We really should have another couple of goals at QT, just some basic turnovers and questionable decisions around goal.

Swans 2.4.16 to 0.3.3

Amartey with the 2 goals, presenting well.

Ladhams didn't even seem to jump for the first few ruck duels, has presented ok, but kicking for goal/target not so much.

As mentioned, Gould with some good rebound kicks but let down by teammates fumbling the ball.

Taylor, Clarke picking up from last year with effort.

 

[wills2g]

Ugh, Ronke deciding to snap from a slight angle about 25 out, missing.

That shot from outside 50 too, was selfish, probably feeling the pressure of his (most likely) last season with us

Bulldogs have real depth in the umpiring ranks.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Lots of errors but still some good passages of play..

Fox, Melican and COR have been good. Amartey has all the athletic gifts but is a bit dopey.

I feel bad for him. I remember listening to Brandon Jack's interview with Dyl Buckley where he talked about how being in the reserves can be quite toxic if you let it get on top of you. Kinda feel like Ronke has got worse with every season that it becomes harder for him to make the AFL side.

 

[RUNVS]

Basically to be in consideration for the first team our younger players need to play as well as Clarke, Fox, Taylor, COR etc.

 

[Bloods86]

I'm also enjoying watching VFL sans Stephens.

 

[TheMase]

Got home from work just in time for Q2 to start!

 

[Bloods86]

I'm watching on a miniaturised window while finishing off some work, assume that's why I haven't noticed Rankin dominating so far.

 

[grimlock]

Sinclair the goalsneak!

 

[Bloods86]

Nice hustle on the goal line from our new small forward, Callum Sinclair. Watch out Wicks.

Although Sinclair looks like he has a ball just playing reserves.

It's all about the attitude I guess. Sinclair spent a long time struggling battling away in the seniors, knowing full well he was not the genuine ruckman that we needed, so he probably saw this scenario where he's a reserves staple playing out and has made peace with it. Ronke, on the other hand, was drafted along with his close mates Florent & Hayward, experienced the highest of highs very early in his senior career, and probably had a right to expect he had a decent career ahead of himself. Injuries and form happened, and now he's also a reserves staple, but he probably didn't think it would pan out this way. It's a tough reality for a young fella.
