Thought i had seen somewhere that mention Lav would be played forward?

 

[Yoda_]

Lual 'unavailable'

dropped from a VFL side isn't great leading into year 2

 

[ant555]

Lual 'unavailable'

dropped from a VFL side isn't great leading into year 2

He is not dropped.

 

[Yoda_]

He is not dropped.

not great whatever is happening. Personal issues, form, etc etc. Hope he can get back to it

 

[Yoda_]

Couple of Weribee players to keep an eye on in the match eth-dog ant555

181cm midfielder Flynn Young had a reasonable start last week for the 'Bees kicking 2 goals from 19 possessions.

191cm medium fwd Brady Wright kicked 3 goals in a tough game last week. The 21 year old has solid form in the strong Hampden Football Netball League (30 goals from 16 games).

 

[ant555]

not great whatever is happening. Personal issues, form, etc etc. Hope he can get back to it

Not likely to be form given he was emg last week and has been playing okay. You get omitted on form. Unavailable is obviously something outside of normal.

 

[Doug Tassell]

Ryan Eyers

 

[Yoda_]

Bit scrappy early, Weribee with the better skills and work rate kicked the first tow before a steadier from Eckersley in the fwd pocket

Ess 1.0.6
Wer 2.3.15

 

[Yoda_]

Good pressure around the ball now and we are starting to gain some momentum,

Vigo kicks ball off the ground and through for a major

Ess 2.0.12
Wer 2.3.15

 

[andleanback]

Davey looks like he has an afl body now

Day wicks clean hands leads to a vigo goal

 

[Yoda_]

Another strong pressure around the ball carrier where ball jags out, scramble inside 50 and Eckersley gets on the end of it

Ess 3.0.18
Were 2.3.15

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Johnson, Nguyen and Davey in that play.

 

[Yoda_]

My boy Angus Day-Wicks (it's Archer you muppets on comms) in a fair bit, just makes things happen

Setterfield doing what Setterfield does

Eckersley (2), Visenini with majors

Xavier O'Neill (10) leading all comers, Setterfield (8), Johnson (7), Goldstein (6) other major ball winners

 

[andleanback]

I tell you what the young boys are good to watch, bunch of kids with good footy iq

 

[Zach Package]

Johnson, Nguyen and Davey in that play.

Very slick clean hands in that chain and then smart by Davey to clear the area, kick under the smother to the 3 on one out the back.

 

[Yoda_]

I tell you what the young boys are good to watch, bunch of kids with good footy iq

I just had the same thought, footy IQ seems to be a higher priority under RFK & Rosa

 

[Yoda_]

couple of bombed I50's led to behinds

strong tackle that lead to a Busutil shot on goal, 3 b3hinds to start the second quarter

Ess 3.3.21
Wer 2.4.16

Busutil held onto inside 50 stoppage wit shot on goal. Behind

22 - 16

 

[Yoda_]

Commentators just mentioned Clarke came off in the first quarter

 

[Petrify]

Am I crazy or does Laverde look... fat?

Like he's put on a lot of non muscle weight

 

[Yoda_]

become a fair bit scrappy this quarter,

Ess 23
Wer 16

 

[Yoda_]

Lewis Hayes free kick against and Brady Wright hits the post

Ess 3.5.23
Wer 2.5.17

 

[andleanback]

Can’t wait to have day wicks kicking inside 50 towards caddy

 

[Yoda_]

Great endeavour by young Johnson, turned the ball over but kept on fighting to get the ball back. Ended up a free kick to Archer Day - Wicks who laced out Eckersley who left the field with a head knock

Davey Jnr kicks a behind from a very gettable position

Ess 3.6.24
Wer 2.5.17
