Autopsy Positives & Negatives of JLT1

[mike91]

+

Brayshaw - clean hands, good kick and does the one percenters that puts the ball to the advatnage of his teammates

Taberner - clearly our best forward. Faded after half time, but plenty of marks and bought the ball to ground. Kicked straight in front of goal

Banfield - dangerous and effective. Really impressed me

Fyfe - best on ground. Damn he was good

Ryan - Very good, usual marking and kicking. Massive potential

A. Pearce - geez we've missed him. Barely got beaten all day



-

Johnson - thought his decision making was average

Cox - looked garbage in defense

McCarthy - worse forward on the ground

Sheridan - kicking still not good enough, though not as bad as last years

B. Hill - worse on ground?

D. Pearce - seriously shocking

Grey - doesn't look AFL quality. Love his attack, but he shouldn't be best 22.

 

[Superkoops]

What happened to Brad Hill today? Have we ever found out why he missed that first time trial.

 

[BORIS332]

I think you blokes might have found a good one in Banfield.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Our weakest today were the same olds (Sheridan, D Pearce, Sutcliffe, Ballantyne, Johnno). Those guys need to be dropped. They're over.

Really impressed by the youngsters!

Stuff to like, stuff to work on. Overall reasonably happy.

 

[Sully90]

Not much to take from that one except that Taberner and McCarthy should probably be the starting combo up forward come round 1.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

I just don't know about Tabs.

Brayshaw > LDU

Agree 100%

 

[SHill Shall]

Positives - DP, Grey, Rixx and to a lesser extent Sutcliffe confirmed Peel is where they should ply their craft from here. Fyfe looked in ripping nick. Brayshaw as good an AFL level debut as could be hoped for. Fitness looked good. Ryan and Wilson will make a huge difference.


Negatives - Ballas teased us at the end but did not deliver. Johnson not much chop.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Loved the Ryan/ Wilson kickin combo. Feels like the first time I could breath during exiting the back 50 since Duff.

 

[The Joker]

What on earth is Bailey Banfield trying to prove. He was magnificent in the one and a half quarters of game time he played!

another negative - your understanding of the words "worst" and "worse"

 

[wild side]

Banfield's coach at Claremont is confident the kid is going to make AFL grade.
Another good rookie pick up by Lloyd and co

 

[aussieviking]

I prefer Blakely in midfield

 

[The Joker]

What happened to Brad Hill today? Have we ever found out why he missed that first time trial.

Such a small oval will always cause problems for players like Bradley!

 

[Rion]

Don't know what to think about Tabs. Couple of great contested marks weighed up against a couple of kicks straight to the opposition resulting in goals. I'd have him as our number one key forward for the year mind you but he's just such a dumb footballer at times.

 

[Taylor]

Freo looks good with a high marking player leading at the ball.

 

[Lach72]

Players to move out:
Johnson Pearce Grey Sheridan Sutcliffe. But we all knew that.

Hughes Hamling Logue and that backline looks solid.

S Hill, Cerra Crowden could get a run
Darcy for Meek probably

I also want to see Cox at CHF
Tabs at FF, Fyfe out of a pocket.

Good to get a decent game into Meek. He was at least part of the reason we dropped the bundle at the end, but it's not reasonable to expect a kid to do much more at the centre bounces against one of the AFLs best. He will learn from that. Enjoyed his game otherwise.

The big positive was the more direct style of play, better ball movement, and some re-jigging of our forward work, especially Fyfe and Taberner.

Matera showed some glimpses, but overall not a compelling game. Probably typical of a few players out there who looked rusty and off peak. They will all be better for the run.

I am not really interested in how many players they had out etc. They were the best side in the comp last year, and their "ins" include someone like Dear in his 3rd season. That is quite different from someone like Banfield, Meek or Brayshaw. We did okay against a better side in a pre-season hit out. All good. But Ballantyne and D Pearce can fade into the hedge as quickly as possible imo. Get Crowden in.

 

[Taylor]

Meek was too concerned about his opponent in my opinion, he seemed to try and back the body into his man before a ruck contest and Adelaide's rucks sidestepped it to have a near free jump at the ball.

I would add your use of capital letters at the start of sentences, but that seems so pedantic and more than a little irrelevant.

 

[Quokka]

Add in Hamling, Pearce and Logue and Im shockingly hopeful about Freo's defense and moving the ball out of the backline.

 

[Kepfan]

So the main positive from that game as far I can tell, having not watched any of it is that there are plenty of spots open for Crowden to fill before round one.

Proving that our list managers are spuds for not taking him in the ND

Pretty confident we can expect to see him in the next game. Cannot see the point of Ballantyne or D Pearce playing. Plenty of young boys to cycle through though.

I mean, what happened there? I think your recruiters became obsessed with getting Hamish, and shot themselves in the foot.
