Great courage with the mark followed by a nice kick from Torrent. Get him into the seniors!!

His nickname is surely Kickass?

 

[Nathan Barley]

Nice kick by HSmith

Wonder if he could be the type of ruck who can rack up 20 disposals in a game

 

[Section 5]

24 points not enough if the game goes to script regarding the scoring end.
Hopefully we revert to more of a tight zone this quarter with occasionally man on man.
The Pies put a few players back after we scored 4 straight and that dried up our scoring.
Did not help the Pies in scoring themselves but i thought it was what they had to do to give them a chance in the last.

We need to kick 2 goals to get the win i recon.
Lest see what unfolds in the last.

 

[Section 5]

Thats 1 goal

 

[brutus76]

there's a few blokes putting their hand up for next week

 

[McIvor]

Brain is a very nice mover and when Torrent has the ball, he looks like a very likely player, but probably not up to AFL standard just yet.

Can’t help but think Reville and Brain will get an opportunity.

Kai also looks very comfortable at this level, wish it would translate to the ones.

 

[Mayestro]

Brain a bit quieter than last week- the same number of possessions but last week he took a million intercept marks. It may be due to Collingwood handballing their way through congestion rather than kicking.

Kai doing his chances of a recall no harm at all- impacting the game really well.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Commentators making this tough to watch

 

[McIvor]

Ump #4 has NFI what HTB is if that is HtB against Lyons.

 

[Section 5]

Too loose in the Pie forward line as i was worried about.
Normal defense zoning not working for both teams at the scoring end.

 

[Nathan Barley]

We’re in trouble here

 

[McIvor]

Pathetic effort by Tunstill and probably the reason he isn’t getting a run. Just squibbed body contact allowing that Pie to goal easily.

 

[Nunez]

Players looked gassed and the Pies can't miss.

 

[iBeng]

JFC what is wrong with the club lol

 

[Helicon1]

It’s pretty alarming that the same issues exist in afl and vfl teams. Runs of goals not being stopped

Is it a fitness issue then?

Have you seen the selected teams?

Collingwood should be smashing us

 

[Section 5]

Thats the 2 needed now a bit of a scrap
But probably need another now that the Pies scored their goals fairly early in the last

 

[Nathan Barley]

Is it a fitness issue then?

Yep our top ups aren’t fit enough and we’re playing too many kids

 

[Cubs2Lions]

Is it a fitness issue then?

You know what the club will be prioritising next pre-season instead of “mini” matches.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Lyons lack of accountability costing us a goal

 

[Nathan Barley]

I think Reville will take some time

 

[Nathan Barley]

Hopefully this means Kai is back in form

 

[McIvor]

The whole inability to tackle or rather stick tackles is not confined to the seniors either. Amazing for a rugby state and we can’t anyone to teach our players the fundamental art of tackling.

 

[JasRulz63]

It would be nice to see him get a whole game at senior level.
