Game Day Match Sim vs Hawthorn - Daz can’t be effed making a new one

[CatToTheFuture]

Ollie Dempsey looks like a gem to me. He is versatile, can run, jump, weave around opponents, and is dangerous anywhere near goal. Might be a Stevie J type but with added aerial ability.

Added running capacity too. I'd like to see him on the wing and rotating half forward

Harsh, Stevie J had a ridiculous tank, premier mid any other team, we just didn’t need him in there.

I think we will end up needing Ollie there though

Its a bit strange with Kroeger and Willis, both solid tanks, but it's like they are built by glass. Perennially injured it seems.

TBF to Kroeger he had glandular fever and then broke his wrist in his first game - that is just bad luck.

Dempsey was great
Bruhn was great
OHenry was great
Ratugolea was a whole new player in my opinion

Didn’t stay for the vfl game so can’t comment on those players.

Still only watch 3 of the vfl quarters but Riccardi has been my pick there. Whyte was great when on the field but I think he's been off.

One quarter to go

Does Riccardi play a bit like Close?

I did like some of the limited highlights I saw of Riccardi in U18s, he looks pretty quick and super agile.

And had trouble with his hip and knee and still having trouble, that's more than bad luck

I can see the comparison.

Runs to the right spots and is quick. A good reader of the game.

Way too light at the moment. Only 65kn and 178cm tall.

I think in time he could play wing and HFF.
Classified as a defender.

Should play in time but not this year.

One thing I like the tennis is they have a video of each player saying their name

Hopefully the club sees this and follows the Storms lead

Parfitt is a solid player but I just think Bruhn and Bowes are better and more versatile, if Parfitt isnt on the ball where do you play him? Hes not a better half forward than Bruhn or Bowes.

Parfitt can sneak goals as a forward pocket. I remember he played a few decent games down there. Tbh, I don't mind rotating Bruhn with Parfitt, as the smaller midfield and as a forward pocket.

I'd like to see Atkins in that backline role again, with stints in the guts too.

I don't think Bowes is naturally that great as a HFF, he's goal record doesn't suggest so. I think he's more suited to the Wing, Centre and HBF - as he can mark overhead and setup play, plus can get around players.

I can see all those players featuring many games in the seniors this year.

Would be pretty funny if turns out better than Clark. I reckon Clark may take a year or two as well. There were some decent kids selected just after Clark, so it will be interesting to see how the draft class 2022 all turn out in time...

Stevie J was a gun and a legend. Dempsey is a likely sort with some x-factor but it's early days.

Yep, it's all about time with Dempsey, but there's a lot to like, especially where he was picked from, wasn't he undrafted?

65kn is 6.6 metric tonnes.

What a truck!
