VFL 2024 - Reserves Game Day discussion Rnds 2 - 21 (Merged threads)

[Jimmae]

Ok now I understand why we're playing Harvey, but he's very raw for a 20 year old, doubly so considering he was a top-age player in the NAB League last year.

Sets up McMahon after getting outside turning on the burners playing as the 2nd ruck at the centre bounce, goal to us... back to 19 points.

Another energetic centre bounce setup, we will it forward and get a free kick and 50 for dissent? 13 points!

I’ve struggled to rate Moir. Sublime talent but lacks the mental toughness. That’s why a lot of recruiters didn’t rate him

Sadly, I’m thinking they are right. We may have another Troy Menzel

Sadly, yep.

If it is a hip issue as Jimmae suggests then we need to fix that. But I just think he lack the willingness and effort that’s needed. He might be a slow burn. But I’m not holding my breathe.

I’ve seen worse than Luca Goonan.

We’ve had about 900 free kicks which is the only thing keeping us in the game.

I'd rather he see a hip specialist and get some better imagining done before I listen to people who would probably be used car salesmen without having a few mates in the industry

What

 

[Jimmae]

What

Not you.

 

[Jimmae]

Binns finally starting to get his pace and inside/contested presence up to standard.

Ball going end to end and trading flying shots that result in points. Still lots of time in this.

Us 63 - Them 76

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Think RCD definitely gonna be in the top 3 picks come mid season draft.

How was his overall game?

This made me laugh. I know someone who was a scout and is now a car salesman....

 

[SolGoodman]

Some quarter this.

 

[Korn]

wow we have a chance~

 

[Mondyboy]

Moir clearly listening to me and Soapy because he’s pulled something out of his arse there.

Ball gets carried quickly from a forward wing stoppage for McMahon to bring it down, Moir scoops it and nails the snap, makes it look easy.

7 points!

It really hurts to say I think you are right

dropping an awkwardly taken overhead mark at full stretch into the air because he was laconic about attacking the contest.

Bit of ground level juggling but we've secured the ball and move across to Akeui on the switch to Binns, now Cowan, but we've only moved the ball 25m sideways since kicking to Akeui...

More sideways chipping, turnover, turnover back our way, ball hoisted 40m into the air and floated now to the opposite wing but still 80m from goal... zig zag football at its finest! We're playing Connect 4 instead of Aussie rules

Culminates in a throw-in just inside our 50 that the umpire sends out on a right angle before recalling... yikes

 

[OldCarltonKnows]

1 point the difference!

 

[SolGoodman]

1. Point. Game!

 

[Jimmae]

We forced Willy into a panic, another 50m to take us directly in front of goal... 1 point!!

 

[OldCarltonKnows]

And now level.

 

[Jimmae]

Absolute scramble as we force it forward metre by metre from the centre circle to the edge of the centre square, Cowan with a 45m snap that is... a behind

Scores level as Willy get to clear from the kick out and secure a mark at right HBF, then the ball dribbles into being in dispute and leading to a ball up near the centre wing boundary... another ball up after that as it gets locked up quickly.

 

[OldCarltonKnows]

In front! Hold on boys

 

[Jimmae]

Binns getting the ball just on the outer, kicks to CHF and we still scramble the ball out via physically thrashing on our opponents... Lemmy gets a touch but it leads to a ball up.

Moving about 5 metres with each stoppage at the moment, no one can get a kick free... except for one dribbling at goal that gets rushed... we're up by 1!

Kickout is messy and spills at CHF, we scramble and smother and Ramshaw is released with a flying shot from 50 that easily sails through on the wind... 7 points to us!

 

[jooce8891]

wow

 

[OldCarltonKnows]

Great goal Ramshaw -

 

[SolGoodman]

RAMSHAW!!!!! What a comeback!!!

 

[Das2Blue]

lol ..7 in front
