Brighton vs Haileybury @ BGS

[love.for.the.sherrin]

Thoughts on the match..
Haileybury obviously lost to MGS last week with 5 key players out who are all available this week!
Brighton should've beaten carey easily but only won by 5 points.
Interesting to see how the match pans out, should be a close one.
Key players?
Jack watts from Brighton has had alot said about him and dominated the VIC U/16 trials on the weekend, interesting to see how he goes on a strong running backman like Tom Lynch.

I couldnt pick who will win.

Brighton by four goals.

will be a quality conetest and cant wait to see how it pans out. IMO lynch will have the better of watts but it will be a close battle all day. brighton ksound like they are playing great team footy so it will be interesting to see if the bloods can produce a good performance with 5 big inclusions.

will also be interesting to see which tags are made. there are a few haileybury players i think brighton will tag and im sure there will be some run with roles from the bloods point of view. i reckon the brighton boys will rough lynch up a bit

well said foot is life!!

I hope BG get up!!!....and more so they ruff up lynch!!

Does Lynch ever play on anyone? Or does he always get the loose backman role?
Not having a dig at the kid, cause he dominates, its just he must either play loose or play on really unaccountable fowards cause he always seems to have a paddock to run in when he gets the ball and i'm pretty sure hes no speed demon.

Haileybury should kill it with match winners like smith back in, Smith is easily the best player in the APS
10 Goals plus

Lynch does certainly have a man.
Plays on the best tall forward every week.
but one thing he does very well is to know when to run off his man.
this is one of his greatest assets!
its definitely not a bad thing that he does this like your trying to say

i can tell you who will win haileybury will win by about 10 goals lynch is play a blinda no one will be able to stop him haileybury will shhit in

 

[youbloodyripper]

brighton will win by 10 points
conditions look wet and the this will favour the smaller and quicker side
the likes of pascoe and j pickering and co will play a major part

 

[hwill4]

should be an interesting match but i reckon brighton will get up..good form so far

 

[Forward Flanker]

I hope BG get up!!!....and more so they ruff up lynch!!

yea brighton by 3 goals im saying. lynch has red hair

 

[bronson]

Hailebury by 5 goals +

Should be having a serious crack this week and Brighton will crumble because of their inexperience.

 

[THE BRICKMAN]

haileybury's scholars to find some form and come away with a 3 goal win

what happened to brighton?
hadn't lost a game and smashed scotch by 12 goals only a few weeks ago.
are they really all they are made out to be?
i would think not with the way they played on saturday.

 

[f00ty-1S-L!fe]

abit harsh on brighton L.F.T.S, i thought they played an ok game it's just that haileybury were too strong on the day. People just aren't recognising haileybury as much anymore because of the 2 losses. Now with their best side in, they will be tough to beat. Even if it might be too late for a premiership charge, the year 10's are getting very valuable experience.

That's tough. Obviously Haileybury haven't started well this season, but it's undeniable that there's definately talent in their squad (wonder how that happened . . .). At the same time, you have to remember that, prior to the season starting, people were predicting Brighton to be a bottom three side, so the fact that they were 3-0 before the game is credit enough to them already. It's tough for a team to be constantly fighting against realistic expectations, as they were doing for the first three rounds, but now that they weren't so under-rated, it's easier for people to unfairly write them off, just because perhaps they were rated higher than they should have been. as an old brighton boy, i couldn't have been prouder of the way the season started, or the way they played against caulfield, but i wasn't expecting them to run through the season undefeated or anything.

When you ask 'are they all they're made out to be', you have to remember that, before the season, they weren't actually made out to be anything at all . . .
