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

[HarryFlashman]

Fisher, Dow, Plowman, Binns, Akuei, Lemmey, Mirkov, all pulled from the game, no one is taking it seriously

If U are playing U are not going to half ass it, way to many important eyes on the game

 

[Monty1978]

There’s nothing to play for.

Separately, Carroll is just unfortunately not up to it. And not going to be.

I agree on Carroll , never thought much of him, can’t kick and I know now why no one took him, massive slider

 

[Jimmae]

And we're back to the pattern of the first half: can't match the intensity of kids who burn us anaerobically for a stretch, so far just enough to keep a 2 goal advantage.

 

[Blues_Man]

Ramshaw couldn't hit a barn door with a bucket of wheat...he's a shoe in for the seniors

 

[TENACIOUS]

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

Mate, sounds like you’re becoming an apologist for our poor form of late…

If our listed players, think like this… Then there is a real issue at the club…

If you pull on the jumper you give 100% all the time, every time…

It is a practice game, so I'm comfortable hovering between 80%-90%, but the problem right now is we're at 50%-60%.

Sounds like you are embracing doom and gloom

Nah, just realist

Better look at the players we pulled

In an exhibition game? Please

Doesn’t matter what game it is, if listed players are out there not giving 100% then there is an issue…

We need to be ruthless, there is pride, confidence and possibly AFL selection next week…

I don’t care about the non listed players or if we win or lose… I care about the attitude…

 

[azlou]

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

Not sure he just got dropped from our 2nds

That I don't agree with. We should have been using this opportunity to give the younger blokes a chance in their preferred positions, and just ironing out some of our transition work at a reasonable level of intensity.

Instead we've been mentally checked out since before the bounce and we're playing like sheepdogs too often rather than seasoned players.

 

[Jimmae]

58-65 at 3/4 time in the Academy team's favour.

 

[Blues_Man]

It's so much like watching the seniors, allowing opposition players to mark on the goal line

 

[Accidental genius]

losing to under 18s.

this is embarassing.

if the excuse we arent taking it seriously then why play at all?

 

[Blues_Man]

For those knocking Martin , he is showing he is a class above other Blues players out there

 

[thylacine60]

Which Paddy Dow does regularly.

 

[Rustica]

That was a great passage of play from Obrien and Martin

 

[BigFrizz36]

Well that doesn't fit the narrative.

 

[thylacine60]

Well that doesn't fit the narrative.

Now we have score reviews for not fitting narrative.....rightly

 

[TENACIOUS]

No doom and gloom, here…

Just sick of accepting mediocrity from our older listed players… They should be busting their gut…

don’t care if we win or lose or about any of the vfl listed or fill in players…

Just the attitude of the Carlton listed players, the great teams of Brisbane, Geelong and Richmond wouldn’t accept, listed players not putting in…

They are playing against 17 year olds ffs…

Only one showing that he's too good today?

 

[AndyLucimitis]

The Academy have always had the wood on us …. the bastards.



Is it possible to walk out at 3/4 time …. and then walk back in for the seniors …. and then walk back out again [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13]

Yep he has poise and makes good decisions, unlike most of the others wearing white jumpers, delisting list cloggers at the end of the year will be easy. Stocker must be watching on shaking his Head

 

[thebluenewdeal]

Has any vfl outfit lost to this team before?

You might see that poster leading the picket out there. Doesn't like the narrative apparently.
