Full Intraclub Match #2 - 16-02-2024


Enjoy.


Or Cry.


Whatevas driving those emotions.

 

[FD2646]

Thanks mate. Sturt training?

Unsighted.

 

[FD2646]

Looks like we have another 10mins of Sim coming up.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Thanks mate. Sturt training?

Haven’t sighted him

 

[Van_Dyke]

Mediocre 5 minutes so far

 

[FD2646]

Terrible turnover coming off halfback leads to an easy Freddy goal, but he has been quiet today overall.

 

[s_wd6]

Are our skills that much worse than this time last year or is there just a much more realistic reporting after what happened last year?

 

[DaveLister]

Sebba out of centre square scrubba, Hugh tackled htb and Voss kicks his 4th

 

[FD2646]

Great tackle by Voss on Davies who took too long coming out of d50 which results in another Voss goal.

 

[Polo342]

Crikey reading these reports there is a lot to worry about. Surely not as bad as it sounds

 

[Van_Dyke]

Awful kick by Dogga i50 took purple by so much surprise moose dropped the mark, freddy got one of them HTB and about to have a shot

 

[FD2646]

Freddy with a nice tackle on 45m dead in front - rewarded by the umpire and goals.

Pretty lack lustre last 2 quarters of Sim, but still hot conditions so fatigue no doubt played a role. Overall wasn't really impressed with what I watched today, with skills, lack of consistent drive off halfback and no real system going forward still glaring deficiencies. Over and out.

It’s probably not the worst I’ve seen, but still pre-season. Biggest concerns for me were the continued stagnation out of defence at times and then an instance where JL stopped play and gave a less than inspiring (and fairly mediocre if I’m honest) sounding piece of coaching to the players on their positioning. Not sure anyone came out of that thinking, yeah nice and clear, I know what I’m doing now. Bit of a worry.

Is it too much to ask for one of you track watches to buy a broadcast standard camera setup to film these sessions? Maybe chip in with some Commetti level commentary?

Thx for the clear appraisal, reality is best!

 

[One_Wing]

Hopefully Voss is just that good, not our defence sucks that bad haha.

 

[Retzlaff]

Walker, Williams, Wagner, sebit, Odin comprise the rehab group. Overheard that O'Meara might be at James Sicily's wedding.....imagine marrying that bloke

Sicily doesn’t seem like his type but I’m happy for him

I’ve been to match sims in both pre seasons and I feel like the intensity and pressure is much higher this year. Our skills looked good last year but in hindsight it didn’t prepare us for AFL level intensity at all and we played catch up all season.

Would you say the poor disposal today was a result of high pressure tackling?

 

[Piggy Smalls]

To a certain degree. The players were also clearly trying to take the game on and there’s at least one non best 22 standard player in every possession chain.

Are a lot of the burned possessions from trying to play positive footy? Or are they closer to CAT10s from no pressure?

 

[Demons09]

I watched us beat WC by 11 goals in a preseason game in 2018 they won the GF that year.

Bringing this up almost deserves a ban.

 

[millsy]

old boy can still play, but I reckon sharp has been comfortably the best wingman today.

Is (was) Chappy playing, and if so, where?

 

[freo1997]

Jlo seems to love sims/scratchies.

Just hope we have settled with the appropriate game plan and strategies.

 

[Eski3]

People overreact to preseason form no matter whether it's good or bad. It's natural given its the only footy we've got after 4 months. At the end of the day if we are stronger in the middle, harder to score against and have a few more avenues up forward that's all we can really hope to see at this stage. Nothing meaningful hinges on the fact that we got bogged down at half back in match simulation in february

 

[DaveLister]

Almost entirely wing, maybe 10% back
