Game Day Casey V Box Hill

[Spirit of 39]

I thought I'd take the liberty of starting a thread on this game in a bid to forget about last night.

Obviously it will great to see LJ have a run around today. But I'm also looking forward to seeing Rory Taggert, Lucas Cook and Troy Davis. Let's hope they can give us something to get excited about.

 

[Demon Revival]

Spirit, are you going to the game???

 

[Spirit of 39]

Nah mate. I'll be glued to ABC though. Are you going???

 

[Spirit of 39]

Mark Neeld just said Tommy Couch is crook and will not be playing today. Disappointing for a couple of reasons.

 

[Demon Revival]

I think so, keep an eye out for me, hopefully the whole senior list will be too...

Keep an eye out for Col Sylvia. Apparently Neeldy read him the riot act this morning.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Well... maybe Neeldy should play Col in the ****ING MIDFIELD!!!

I'll also be glued to the ABC though.

Where'd you get that from mate?

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Players I'm keen to see apart from the obvious - Watts, Jurrah, Blease, Cook - are Sheahan, Taggert and Martin.

Mark Neeld just said it on SEN. He didn't elaborate a great deal but he did say to Col that it takes more than talent to play AFL footy.

ah, thanks.

I get the feeling we are going to have one of the most interesting and significant phases in list management this year in quite some time and given the last 4 yrs that's saying something.

 

[Tulip]

On another note, I swear he has been joking with the boys on SEN at least 3 of the last 7 or 8 mornings.

GET HIM OFF

This.

Why the hell is Sylvia being played purely in the forward 50? He should be a midfielder that rotates down there - damn it is frustrating to watch.

Sylvia is a very effective forward when in form. Takes a great mark and is also good at reading the ball off the pack.

I'm sure it is also due to his probably being a bit unfit.

But it doesn't matter where you play - if you're on the field you damn well give 100% and bring a professional level of intensity. And Col does not appear to be brining much.

I think this may be the case too.

Correct.

Yeah lead the riot act to a top midfielder after you play him in the forward pocket in a game when the ball doesn't get down to him. Good one Neeld

You read the riot act to any player who doesn't put in.

When Sylvia was in the thick of it last night he didn't do enough. Whether that is fitness or effort that is up for those closer to the club to decide but position doesn't get him off the hook. He's a big boy he should know what is required at this level and it's not like playing forward is foreign to him.

Clark played forward, ruck and even in defence at times last night and gave it 100%.

 

[Tulip]

Watts started in the middle.

Green too good, one point on assist and a few marks.

 

[Tulip]

Jurrah looking athletic

 

[SJSMD]

Blease looks to be off to a good start.

 

[Tulip]

'Despite Jack Watts kicking 4 last week, Mark Neeld has given the instruction for him to work on his defensive side

 

[Tulip]

McGough always this good?

 

[Tulip]

Blease will come in next week at this rate

 

[Samsara]

Seriously Watts is a smart footballer with generally clean skills but he doesn't like contact at all

 

[Tulip]

if we don't get Dangerfield, we could always go for Fieldsend
