VFL Round 20 v Sandringham Zebras, Saturday, August 9, 7:10pm AEST, Kinetic Stadium - Live On 7 Mate

[59Stanley]

Kosi bog no doubt.

 

[Calcium Man]

Grlj 15d, 7k, 8h, 2m, 2t, 2ip, 4cp and 100%de.

Showed off his dash tonight, was a bit fumbly after halftime which was probably the only nitpick of his game tonight.

They were worried steely wouldn’t make it, so they just grabbed random kid from crowd. Bit hard to tell him he wasn’t playing after giving him the jumper.

 

[voorhees]

needed that win for the finals campaign

draftee this year predicted to go in the top 50

 

[tiger_tough]

Another impressive undermanned win. Batch has them playing a good system.

big leap from gibcus, but still looks super cautious when rising

Was at the game tonight and watched him closely, it got beaten a fair bit and looked very slow. Still has leap but struggling with pace. He does look quite a lot bigger then when I last saw him so maybe growing into his body…hopefully but looked miles off it.

 

[2firstsforHopper]

Kosi was good. Even his field kicking was good

You know we only traded one first rounder for Hopper?

 

[lalorGOAT]

fatigue related

Gonna need chatgpt's opinion on that

 

[59Stanley]

Agree with Gibbo looks miles off afl. Pace concerns me but not as much as his kicking it is in Blight territory.
Mutaz is by far the best defender in our vfl team.
Grilj looks fantastic

needs to find it more imo

 

[Bojangles17]

If only we played him in the seniors at the MCG instead of the cow paddock at Frankston he wouldn't have got hurt

Huh huh huh

 

[Bojangles17]

needs to find it more imo

15p not enough for a 17yo 2 games into senior football , seriously

Shown enough to be selected early on draft night.

 

[59Stanley]

Grilj is a mid imo good skills and speed. Very enthusiastic the boys love him. Decent size reckon he goes top 10

 

[Calcium Man]

Did Smith get injured? Only 7 touches and I don’t really remember him after 1/4 time

 

[CASEYS9420]

You know whats sad, our VFL side has gained most of their wins off the back of our non AFL listed players. That is a giant red flag

yes and no. It’s more due to injuries recently but Kozi was bog by a mile yesterday.

Blight/young/Grey (and El Nour) have been rocks in defence most of the year. Sonsie and McAuliffe were basically bog every time they played. Hotton was excellent in his 2 games too.

We just haven’t been able to put together a consistent midfield group out there which really hurts and we’ve been lucky that Scott, Street and Wilson have held it together.

Oh and were desperate for a ruck and we haven’t really had a forward dominate.

You do realise we had like 5 or was it 6 afl listed players out there with sims lost early

 

[tony__montana]

Tbh I barely noticed Grjl, has some toe and looks a goer but not a top 5 pick for mine

But then I suppose some people were saying that about NWM? Sometimes you just can’t project how well(or poorly) someone will take to an afl environment.

 

[Rubber Hips]

Batch is a good coach
