VFL Game Day Round 17: Essendon vs Gold Coast, Windy Hill, Sunday 17/07/2022 @ 1:05 PM

who is Ire?

I'm going, "Who the hell is Eyer?"

 

[ghostdog]

Nicely weighted i50 from McDonagh.

 

[Squeaky]

Stewart goal 16 points in the shadow of half time

Huge quarter. Voss has a lot of Zurhaar about him

 

[ghostdog]

He even made the comment a couple of weeks ago he feels more confident in the backline. Said he got moved around heaps last year in the nab league and he really lost confidence. Let someone master 1 role before you give them another. So if someone in the backline gets injured today he’s gone back and not had any time in the position at vfl level. Baker had mastered his role as a small defender before dimma started using him as a small utility.

I was answering your question of what the point of it is. Ergo, it is not entirely pointless.
Edit: I'd say it goes to show how highly they think of his standard already.

Yessss.

 

[BOMBERROB2000]

how is Hurls going?

 

[eth-dog]

how is Hurls going?

Rusty but growing into the game. Has a goal assist to his name

 

[BrunoV]

Favourite Voss moment was that HTB in the forward pocket.

The GC player didn't know who he was dealing with...until he was being thrown over the boundary.

Those are not tackles you try to break.

 

[thaibomber]

lol. someone picking them up on the pronunciation of Eyre's name.

 

[eth-dog]

Tell Jye Menzie to kick the ******* goal

 

[Donakebab]

Menzie not content with having the sole dumbest action on the field today. Doubles down.

Arye/Ire/Eire (whatever) is showing a lot. He ran a sub 3 second 20m at draft camp did he not?

Give him another 18 months and a KPD combo of Reid, Eyre and Cox is going to be phenomenal. With depth from Brand and BZT, we'll be fully stacked!!

Zach Reid:
204 cm gun defender. Strong overhead and highly touted footballer. Most likely will develop into the general (with Ridley).

Josh Eyre:
198 cm athletic freak (speed and jump) who can go with anyone on the lead. Not a super slick footballer, but will be able to lockdown on anyone. Instructed to play within his limitations and just negate.

Nik Cox:
200 cm endurance freak who has a penetrating kick on both sides of his body. Can clock up the km from half-back as both an intercepted AND someone who pushes forward to help drive ball movement out of the backline. Can also work with Redman to rotate from the wing to be the 7th defender.

These three allow Ridley to take the 4th forward and return to dominating intercepting. This also gives him time to general the backline, while developing Reid, Cox and Redman as generals too.

With D'Ambrosio, Lord we have a solid backline. Having Redman rotating from the wing and McGrath potentially playing as lockdown as well. Kelly's game on Cameron keeps him in the equation too.

I haven't mentioned Hind or Heppell, cause I'm thinking about how excited about the backline we should have in 2024. Freaking good with plenty of depth.

If that handball was for Hurley to kick a goal there is no excuse for that.

 

[fishardansin]

Menzie with another chance!!

 

[Duckworth]

lol what a bounce!

 

[fishardansin]

What a goal .. LOL

 

[Donakebab]

Why kick the easy ones when you can score with something ridiculous like that.

 

[Donakebab]

That was a ripping kick from Corbet.

 

[Donakebab]

Our blokes aren't adjusting their read of the flight with the wind.

That was a ripping kick from Corbet.

He's a great VFL player.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Gonna be hard with these conditions. Don’t really suit any of the AFL listed dudes. Maybe time to move Voss into the middle to throw his weight around.

 

[eth-dog]

Jeez, harsh free against Brand there

So we want all our players to be one dimensional then ?
We know he can play half back anyway. Why not give him more development up the ground)
