Thank you for the link.

Keen to see Cowan, Boyd, Carrol and Kemp shine

Kemp not named in the Team.

I found the link but it's just showing Gilligan's Island................I'll run with that........

Heard that the skipper is built like a brick outhouse.

Academy running all over us. Fortunate to get a goal on the siren.

mid air donk from ronk

Video has reappeared on the same news article that has been posted this entire time: WATCH: AFL Academy v Carlton VFL LIVE from 4.10pm AEST

Incredible difference in physical aggression... it's like we've had it strained out of us!

So much for the notion of boys vs men

 

[HarryFlashman]

Damn, kids can fly on transition, opening us up.

 

[GossipBoy]

Kemp not named in the Team.

Explains why I haven’t seen him impact yet

How does one do a facepalm emoji?

Hopefully the sub tonight

Reid with the cheeky high five to Cahill after the latter kicked one from mid-air and 30m out

 

[HarryFlashman]

Cowan the only one making a genuine effort, Lob/Carrol looking horrible U would literally prefer any of the kids by a fair way

 

[thylacine60]

there's a young kid out there, I reckon I can tell a potential gun just by how he moves as a youngster - be very surprised if reid isn't picked up quite early

 

[Jimmae]

Cowan the only one making a genuine effort, Lob/Carrol looking horrible U would literally prefer any of the kids by a fair way

Consequence of others not responding to the intensity lift... they're all playing like they're physically exhausted

What is going on at our footy club?

martin's walking around like an automated drink waiter in florida.............

Sounds like it's just more data reaffirming the apparent mountain of proof that we take promising youngsters look at what they're bad at and force them to focus on their negatives and play out of position to 'learn' meanwhile beating their strengths out of them slowly, or creativity and flair

 

[HarryFlashman]

Kids are playing like every scout is watching the game

You make it sound like that’s a bad thing

 

[Arr0w]

Haha, looks like our VFL boys are going through the motion, but people think this is a serious game? Fmd

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Definitely sugar coated it. Very subtle

 

[Jimmae]

Difference in aerobic development coming to the fore now and we've crept back into it despite a littany of mistakes.

40-37 in favour of the Academy kids

How can you come to that conclusion without actually watching the game?

I'd assume every game is a serious game for players playing for their contracts and AFL lives and on the other side players playing for their future dreams to come to fruition

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Because I don't need one game - it's clearly a statement based on years of games

See that’s the thing every game should be a serious game yeah ? Especially when you’ve got plenty of senior listed players supposedly wanting to put theirs hand up for selection …

 

[Arr0w]

Half our afl listed players aren't playing, including ones that will be offloaded, so another poor take
