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

[Broadside]

what sort of player is Lemmey? does he have a future in Carlton's afl forward line?

happy to hear Cuningham and Marchbank are playing well, gee we have missed them

LOB doesn't even play good VFL games.

2 weeks ago, Dow had 41 possessions, 11 clearances and still couldn't get a call to play in the seniors.

Dow has improved
Not great timing?
Plus maybe not!

Is LOB playing this VFL game??? Feels like I just read 3 pages about him

I am focused on the long long body of evidence LOB has put together that has shown he never has been and never will be afl standard. Cotts played well in 2 of his 4 games before last night. And was better than lob all year last year. Fisher in his career has at least shown signs of being an afl standard player for long chunks.

LOb never has.

If you were putting Cottrell through the same lens as O'Brien he wouldn't even be on the list. Athletic trier who falls to pieces if we move the pace of off-the-ball movement up from 1970s standards.

If I were his manager I'd sit him down, tell him to stop trying to turn into a footballer and look at an athletics career. O'Brien's issues are far more fixable.

@ me in the R13 pre-game thread if you want to discuss more.

Respectfully disagree re LOB. Sub-standard AFL footballer

Maybe its how he’s developed under our system…perhaps another club may have got more from him…but he’s not our future

Neither are our future right now, but I can see a path for O'Brien where we bother to offer him a contract. I do not feel the same way about Cottrell despite our need for speed.

The comment at the end applies to you and anyone else too.

Binns runs harder faster than anyone else in the list & give him a second to balance kicks it beautifully.
Cunners looking good, getting heavily involved, his disposal is a touch rusty (effective but not quite as sharp as he’s capable of- which is fair given how much he’s played)

Dang Binns

Kick was perfect, Ed just had his back to the play

 

[Jimmae]

****ing useless from Crocker... didn't read the ball, which was advantage side, then didn't follow-up to shepherd after a dinked handball

 

[Jimmae]

Game is ours if we bother to look at the football every so often

 

[Jimmae]

McMahon can **** off from the forward line if he wants to ghost off the side of packs

 

[AB_Blue]

Ronke does something our smalls forward can’t….back themselves, accelerate, and kick a pressure goal

 

[AB_Blue]

Binns need to play…he’s ready

Bins ran 60 meters full pelt to create an option then laced it 50m

 

[Jimmae]

McMahon loose in the deep pocket to mark with everyone running to the hotspot in the F50.

To be fair I wouldn't be bothering with McMahon either... and he's missed.

68-73

Massive mistake on the Frankston kick out, then the umpire decides to join in on the fun by missing an obvious free kick to Cuningham for holding.

Ball-up, ball goes back out, but Binns and Plowman engineer a shot on goal... we're in front

 

[SammaGilberto]

Plow

 

[Korn]

wow the Plow man

 

[HarryFlashman]

PLOW!!! From the 50 on the boundary line!

 

[carlton_99]

PLOW WOW!!!
