VFL Round 1 vs Sydney Swans VFL, Whitten Oval 4:35pm

[doggies ftw]

Martin hasn’t looked any less mobile than last year tbh, he’s been fine, just has to make a contest in the ruck which you know he will - and he made us a better side last year.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Haven’t been able to watch the whole game, but Buku looks to be going ok from what I’ve seen.

 

[WAbulldog]

Anyone watching this game who has been the stand outs and who are not so?

 

[VitalDread]

I was incorrect on my report
Parker is just hurt not in iso

 

[footscray1973]

Nigel Kellett was quick, could kick goals sometimes, and hit targets sometimes. Sometimes had erratic disposal. Kellett Jnr is quick, but his disposal is more erratic than his dad.

I missed the first quarter, but has even TOB done enough for a call up? Or will we promote him on needs more than form/match fitness?

 

[dergert]

Nobody starting within 5 metres of Sinclair.

This has Beveridge all over it imo.

Throwing WB listed players to the wolves seeing who performs. Since our defence in the senior side is s**t.

We don't have one single negative defender out there bar Van de Heuvel.

Most impressed with Raak. He's been our best defender by a country mile.

Yeah, we won't see Sweet any time soon.

Such a shame.

I think that Tim has done enough to get a call up, Raak has been the better defender but he's too raw to expect to have an impact at AFL level.

Disappointing display, McComb the only player who deserves a call up.

Will say that Choco was right about Chatfield being someone to watch, he's been a lively type out there.

Well, at least Sweet, Martin and Schache aren't 'Very Bad', so that's something, right?!

Any sense of what, when it happened, how long? Bailey Smith has gone both on the injury list (on the club website) and off again in the last 2 days so it is being updated by someone.

KILL THE GODDAMN BALL IN THE ******* GOALSQUARE

 

[dergert]

I've seen McComb start some centre bounces on the forward flank. I'm scared Bevo will slot him there in the senior side....

You really should have that as your sig, save you cutting and pasting it each time. (You're not wrong btw.)

 

[hatescaptcha]

Did Jones do enough for a call up?

[BulldogMuscle]

Very clear watching this game we need to develop defenders at all levels of the club...

Been in and out, he's trying but not getting a ton of it.

 

[Bulldog in Kiev]

Same problem as last night, not one decent big defender. Swans forwards marking everything.
Lack of speed evident too.

 

[Testekill]

What are we expecting Kellet to do against a player that's he giving up nearly 20 centimetres to.

No clue sadly
He just walked passed me a the game

 

[Testekill]

Van Der Heuvel is 200cms tall, a key defender and a decent contested mark. Let's ******* play him up forward against a team that is rolling three players that height or taller through their forward line.

Pathetic gameday coaching.
