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

I've liked Lemmey's game.

Without McMahon out there, he's the main focal point up there surrounded by a few ruckmen. Reckon he's been competitive and imposed himself at the contest - which is exactly what we want from him at this stage. Keep up that level of intensity and the results will come for the big fella.

Martin is such a smart player, makes everyone around him look better.

 

[Arr0w]

As listed players, think Lord has been our best

Kemp has swallowed most marks, glad that his attitude has remained positive. Still trying to do too much and or running himself into trouble

Binns looks so much better looking for longer targets, but needs those crap nothing kicks to dead zones

 

[SolGoodman]

That’s some way to start a quarter.

 

[Arr0w]

Martin pushing higher, looks dangerous

Has all the tools. Hope he keeps maturing

Lord seemingly getting better and more impactful by the week. Brilliant signs for a teenager

 

[SolGoodman]

Lord was a wildcard pick, but boy he’s looked the goods.

Welcome back BOG Binns

That’s some half of football.

I’d love to know why he hasn’t replaced Hollands at least for a game or two. On form he deserves a go

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Maybe lord can be our Newcombe

It’s something that I’ve personally never understood tbh.

 

[DangerousD]

Is Binns ever going to crack our side as a mid? I see things getting tougher for him next year,
Is there any role people see him making at AFL level?

Not at the Ollie level as yet

 

[SolGoodman]

Not at the Ollie level as yet

I can see that narrative too, but tbh I think it at the very least deserves a 2-3 game stretch to trial it.

He'll make it, needs another solid preseason

From what I’ve seen, Binns doesn’t cover the ground defensively anywhere near the level of Hollands. Also is prone to howling turnovers. Don’t know whether either of those things are factors in these decisions

Fair, but I wouldn't do it this year, considering we are trying to secure top 2

Classy finish from Binns

Lord taken a couple of big hits and got up as if nothing has happened, just gets on with it he's been impressive.
Binns defensive efforts are incredible, just needs to clean up his disposal/decision making and he makes it imo.

Not sure how I forgot to mention Lord in my earlier post.
Yes, I like what I see of him so far

 

[Rustica]

Binns what a goal

 

[SolGoodman]

This I agree with, I would wager he’d get every chance next year considering we did re-sign him.

 

[Arr0w]

Nice finish Binns

 

[passmark]

We’ve smashed them since I started watching 2 minutes before half time.

You’re welcome!

 

[SolGoodman]

This is gonna end up a monster game from Binnsy.
