Grlj is my hope for us at one of our picks for the speed/class we need in midfield.

Grlj is my hope for us at one of our picks for the speed/class we need in midfield.

Would love him and Lindsay at the Blues if we had the picks. Class and run.

 

[THE_GUN]

Grlj from the trial match

27 Disposals
15 Kicks
12 Handballs
89% DE
6 Marks
6 tackles
9 Contested Possessions
2 Clearances
9 Score Involvements

Now i would love to see highlights of this game that Grlj played
27 Disposals
89% DE
9 contested poss
9 score involvements

Kids had a blinder i wonder what the opposition was like

You might have the TDK compo so there is hope

 

[KrispyKreme]

Sharp and Grlj to Richmond, Cochrane next year to prevent go home factor for either Sharp or Cochrane. Wishful thinking

Unfortunately didn't get to watch him. He just looks a powerful bloody unit with his running in his highlights. Kicking on the run my only query on him but 89% is a good sign (might have been a bunch of crabbing for all I know though)

How would you rate him compared to a Sam Swadling i see them as very similar
Except Swadling seems to get 30 every week in colts
Swadling played a preseason game for West Perth seniors against WCE wafl side and was west perth best player in there win

They both have very similar attributes

Anyone found a final squad for Northern Territory? They are playing Cannons on he weekend, curious if they are going to trim the initial 50 further

 

[Thunderstruck]

27 touches and 7 clearances

imagine setting such a high bar that is considered 'quiet'

Pretty much, though he was easing off late. First quarter out the blocks with 10 touches and much stronger. But for someone of his ilk at SANFL Under 18's which is pretty weak, was more of a hitout that anything else given the short turn around from last game as per tiges comment

 

[weltschmerz]

Anyone know why Harley Hicks hasn't been playing?

 

[Mutineer]

Anyone know why Harley Hicks hasn't been playing?

Injury, both Harley Hicks and Charlie McKinnon have been in rehab but according to the Rebels last week getting close to resuming.

 

[bulldogs201616]

Sam Grlj when is he gonna be added to the academy side? Top 5 pick and he isn't even in the academy.

 

[Jen2310]

Been told Doug Kerr will resume playing games within a month. So maybe around round 8? He's coming off an ACL, but looks good. Was back in full training this week during VFL training.

 

[briztoon]

I don’t believe they can add anyone new to the Academy team, seeing as they have just the 1 game left.

 

[eDPS]

They can and have before, honestly not sure why he wasn’t in the team in the first place. The team has far too many talls

 

[PMBangers]

They can and have before, honestly not sure why he wasn’t in the team in the first place. The team has far too many talls

Selecting an Academy squad based on the viability of it working on field would be silly

 

[eaglevision]

Travaglia and Whitlock were added late to the academy squad last year.

 

[Jen2310]

Vic metro v young guns

 

[briztoon]

They can and have before, honestly not sure why he wasn’t in the team in the first place. The team has far too many talls

Have they added players between the first & second game?
