VFL Round 2, 2018: VFL Geelong v Sandringham

[Kilroy]

Regular as clockwork. Thanks grimlock

 

[cooperg]

Only noticed him a few times. Quiet. But no Geelong player up forward kicked more than 1 goal. Sandy had the ball in their half for what felt like 80% of the time.

How did Clavarino go?

 

[cooperg]

He impacted this game, was the game changer with Armo tbh.

He kicked it normal but, probably more consistent with his accuracy.

Wright needs to string more than 1 solid game together before being recalled. From his AFL exposed form across 6 seasons he struggles to A) impact games and B) kick the footy well.

 

[Nutsngum]

Legit question, do I ask to leave work early on Wednesday to go train with Sandringham with others from my club at 5pm or not?

 

[Rough_Edges]

Wright is a VFL player.

An above average one, but not an AFL player.

 

[borderbarry]

Darragh Joyce was our best player followed by Armo then Billy Longer. The fans are not going to like that.

 

[Munga]

Wow 13 kicks form Joyce. I'm glad he's confident with the ball

So I'm going to ask to leave work early on Wednesday to go train with Sandringham with others from my club at 5pm!

EFA!

Don't give up an opportunity like that. I don't know how many Saints players would train at that time but Aaron Hamill will be there so definitely worth it.

Ended up being cancelled anyway and turns out it was more a "use the facilities, no sandy players and Hamill will come have a talk for a bit." so blurp I guess.

Weller and Wright look like they want games too. Both put up good numbers. Goddard not so much -1 in the FA score.

 

[Moral Decay]

I was at the game, watched it all.

Joyce was pretty reasonable, and had some nice marks.

Armo destroyed it 31 touches in the 3 quarters. Good leader always helping them and telling them what to do in a good way.

Wrighty was really good and dominated the last 3 quarters.

Mav dominated the middle part of the game.

Tom Lamb looked exciting.

Longer didn't do anything spectacular. Rucked against Zac Smith. No standout. He still is miles behind his opponent.

Anyone else you wanna know ask me.

Could Joyce play Roberton's role or is he more a luke for like with Brown?

 

[VDS66]

Bring on Joyce. Put him Greene and get him to bite the campaigners ear off!

Boooo! What a shame!

 

[Nutsngum]

Boooo! What a shame!

To be fair, I wasnt much relishing training alongside VFL players as a 33yo broken down thirds player who has two left feet as a rightfooter.

Could Joyce play Roberton's role or is he more a luke for like with Brown?

Plays very similar to Robbo probably most like for like player

 

[Moral Decay]

Plays very similar to Robbo probably most like for like player

Thanks, I'd love to see him get a chance.

 

[cooperg]

Probably Robbo role at AFL.

[Moral Decay]

Probably Robbo role at AFL.

From the small amount of video I've seen of him he looks bigger than Roberton, but mobile and strong, if he's had a body of improving good games I'd love to see him debut.
