2nds 2024 VFL thread

[Nunez]

After all the difficult goals McLachlan kicked in the Coates league he misses that one?

VFL pressure baby!

Clever by Craven

Sharp probably needs more confidence to use his evasiveness at AFL level then he can kick under less pressure

He was finally displaying some confidence in doing that at AFL level then got moved to sub. Tough gig holding a spot at AFL level that's for sure.

 

[Mayestro]

Delusions of grandeur.

Delusions of adequacy was a Dennis Cometti-ism I enjoyed.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Not sure what we have to do to receive a holding the ball free

 

[irel]

A bit of criticism of Sharp on here during the week but at this level his improvement is noticeable over the course of this season. Doesn't look out of place in the midfield, has skills in close. Stronger in the tackle and is breaking them and looks okay tackling these days. No doubt he will be working on his disposal by foot.

People aren't watching, just regurgitating pre-conceived opinions. Sharp along with Answerth has improved to a level that would warrant regular senior games.

 

[Nathan Barley]

No free on the goal line?

Getting nothing from the umps

 

[M Malice]

Yes the umpiring is verging on bias towards the Dolphins, some shocking double standard calls.

 

[Nathan Barley]

How is that not holding the ball?
Have we received a free at all this quarter?

It's almost as if they feel sorry for the Dolphins so are only paying them one way to even things out.

People have Kalin Lane as a candidate to be delisted. Once again pre-conceived opinions. Watching the VFL, his development in the last few months has been extraordinary.

He and Smith are just about on par at the moment. Would not hesitate to throw either a game or two in the seniors, if possible.

Lane looks a million times better this year than he did in 2023. You can forgive people for having him in the delisted category.

He and Smith are on par as rucks, but He is an elite contested mark and a better forward, so overall is a better talent.

Lane's improvement has been very promising though. Even if this is his last year with Brisbane, can absolutely see him signing with another club in 2025.

We are playing quite well given the team we are rolling out

Kalin Lane reminds me a little bit of Jamie Charman

I’m a little confused. Who is He exactly?

Lane's improvement has been very promising though. Even if this is his last year with Brisbane, can absolutely see him signing with another club in 2025.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Taken aback by Frankston’s early ferocity, but have settled well. The umpires, though…

Maybe,but I would not be keen to delist anyone that is showing considerable evidence of development and another team benefits from our effort. Huddo has done a great job with the rucks.

IF Jasper Fletcher hadn’t been drafted THEN Harry Sharp would be playing seniors every week. Looks good.

 

[M Malice]

Harry Sharp has been pretty good, definitely on the improve, I'm glad he is not OOC until the end of next season.

 

[Nunez]

Sharp has been very good.

 

[Elixuh]

Joyce isn’t a world beater but looks to have developed a bit and looks comfortable in his role.

 

[irel]

Much improved quarter from JTunstill.

Takes ownership of the defence in the 2s

 

[M Malice]

He can certainly get a hold of the ball but Dev's disposal is not showing any signs of improvement sadly.

 

[Nathan Barley]

I think almost all the topups are more reliable with the ball than Madden
