VFL 2023 - Reserves Game Day discussion Rnds 1 - 22 (Merged threads)

Streaming through the middle of the ground under no pressure kicked the ball 6m to the gws guy.

Cunningham up the other end of the ground from the ball.

 

[Burgers45]

This is diabolical for the Blues, everything going Giants way because they want the ball more and are cleaner with their disposal. Plow, Kemp working hard in defence.

 

[HarryFlashman]

Jeez Kemp, that’s horrible

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Kemp beautiful mark. Horror turnover. What is going on?

Probably the worst ball use I've ever seen.

 

[Mondyboy]

Jeez Kemp, that’s horrible

Yes. But he’s easily been one of our best. Along with Binns.

Akuei dragged to the bench because he's not a key defender - finally back on now after 15m - while Leiu sits forward acting as a witches hat... down Maher at selection and we're about to lose Cuningham for the rest of the game

If there was ever a time to swing Akuei forward and Kemp into the middle, this was/is it

 

[Mondyboy]

This is hard to watch. Figuratively and literally.

Commentator is putting me to sleep

Maybe it says a fair bit but as soon as I heard him, I thought of the improvement over BT and some of the AFL commentators.

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Unwatchable.

Cuners has looked short the run. To be expected.

what happened to cuningham?

 

[Juddernaut08]

so is lob the sub?

 

[T2B_]

I liked the part where Mirkov slapped the ball forward in the centre bounce ruck contest and there was no one there except GWS players.

 

[Jimmae]

what happened to cuningham?

Nothing, he's just blowing out the cobwebs and expected to play about half the game, which is pretty much up.

 

[Burgers45]

For those not watching Telecast, 1/2 time. Giants 7.8.50 vs Blues 1.6.12. Giants running harder and using the ball much better in the heavy conditions. Dow, Carroll not doing much. Mirkov winning the taps, but we hHve no running power.

 

[Jimmae]

The stats difference:

Inside 50s: 20-38
Goals: 1-7

Nothing else to talk about.

cheers

One thing that's obvious is we need more key position especially forward depth on our list.

Lemmey will be good when developed but crocker playing key position shows a lack of height up front

Or find some likely types for the VFL squad. And don’t pick up Ronke.

probs decent mature coverage like a casboult or wright. curnow and mckay are hopefully our 10 year plan

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

With the heavy ground like this, worries me about the main game that they have a lot of running players, and we may be a little top heavy.

I think these conditions might suit our AFL contested game style more than an outside running one. Go in with 1 ruck(TDK).

AFL hasn't realised most fans just want crowd noise on the telecast, not commentators waffling shit, stating the obvious continually and repeating themselves or like last night going on and on about Nick Daicos...

I'm just looking over Derksen and Briggs while we have Pittonet jogging around in the seniors and thinking to myself "we could have had those."

Meanwhile, Akuei and Kemp look mediocre as general defenders, all while we've got another 3 out there today. It's just tragically dumb.

 

[Jimmae]

Well the good news is they seem to have upped the camera frame rate at half time
