VFL Game Day Round 10: Loss to Box Hille*

[rumply]

Nice from Hirdy

 

[eth-dog]

Cat A rookie I see, dunno much about him, usually plays forward?

Nah, not a rookie at all. Plays everywhere really, mostly on a wing this year.

 

[Megabattimus]

McBride playing as a forward? Or has he kicked three as a backman who drifts forward, Redman style?

Need to get those back now.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Look at the names rather than the number.

Gleeson
Phillips
Durham
Reid
Brand
Hird
McBride
Bryan
Johnson
Eyre


Only two senior players on that list. We know that most of these blokes are still going to be working on match fitness, the fact they haven't played in about a month hasn't helped.

Yeah I guess it makes sense that most of our senior listed players are at either end of the ground. Looking very slow through the middle of the ground which is mostly VFL listed guys.

Key forward.

This woman is genuinely the worst commentator I've ever heard.

Strange, Afl showing him as one.

Neat! Does it look like a position he could play in the seniors?

Essentially anybody on a VFL list born 99 or later is listed as a "development player"

 

[The Donners]

My god, the woman genuinely has no idea

Who is she? Obviously not a professional commentator.

Think it's the best game he's played so far honestly

Some VFLW player. We've had her in every Kayo game so far.

 

[The Donners]

Brand definitely has some Fletch characteristics about him.

I tend to have volume off for VFL games, I only turned it on to hear how bad they were!

I think I'll do the same from here on

Bad loss but a few positives

Phillips' second half was great, probably best on
Gleeson also lifted in the second half and played really well
Durham was our best to half time but ran out of puff
McBride showing signs as a key forward. Hope we persist with him forward for now

Of the VFL listers, the usual suspects of Smithson, O'Kearney and Conforti were very good. Kobe Brown showed a bit I thought, and Daniel Thompson was pretty good in defence.

 

[Zach Package]

Conforti looking more and more draftable, he’s like a mini Zac Bailey

If we don't trade for a small forward I'd have very little hesitation in taking him in the rookie draft. Small, quick, good skills and applies pressure. Exactly what we need more of forward of centre.

 

[Nicholas61]

Baker had it 30 times for GWS yesterday, definitely gone

Anyone with an opinion why we didn’t draft Baker in the MSD?

 

[Ambrosia]

Result to be expected with so many injures to our AFL listed mids only worry is it can impact the development of our other players.

A good VFL player without the scope to play AFL

missed the game (greyhound meet up took priority )

How did Reid go?

Did well in the air but his kicking was 50/50
