VFL Round 5 v Casey Demons Casey Fields 24th April 11.05am

Any update on Juddy?

Not taking any further part. Hopefully just managed.

fingers crossed all is well.
crap conditions and oval to bring him back on.

They said on the coverage that it was preplanned that he'd come off and that he's fine.

That’s was as close to being non-competitive as you will ever see from a team at any level.

I’m sorry but there is something fundamentally wrong for that to happen.

I’m struggling to see one single positive from that apart from Smillie getting four quarters. That’s about it.

Pope Francis would be turning in his grave..............I'll show myself out the door then.

He not in the grave yet lol

 

[voorhees]

terrible performance boys
not in it all day.
didn't play to the conditions
and was uninterested after the first quarter.

I have watched a few games but only snippets of this. Smillie seems to have minimal initiative. It’s as if the ball needs to fall near him before he gets it. Once he has it, he is good with it. No grunt to speak of. Nothing but half pace. No gut running to make a play or defend. May be he will look better when he plays with better players who can bring him in.

Some really poor basic skill errors are a worry.

Similar thing happened in the champs. I had this concern when we drafted him. From being projected pick one to going pick 7. The boy clearly has flaws in his game. Let’s hope he can improve those and become the classy bull we need.

They’ve taken down the result on our website and showing the women’s fixture from last year instead

Sonsie & Bauer won't make it, hurts me to say because I was really hoping Bauer would.

Sonsie is just too small, you need to be a bit fearless if you're of small stature. Sonsie is too soft.

Been in the system 4 years now would have been nice to see him build a bit of a chest and arms.

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Does Jake Batchelor need to give his first huge spray?

Batchelor needs to be sacked - pathetic

 

[RichmondEshays]

Sonsie off to the vafa. Piss poor

 

[voorhees]

Vfl there for development that's all , but there's some dead wood that need to go.

Colina
OHB
Kossie
Sonsie

Blight I'm not convinced at all 2 weeks in a row his been below par. Gives me Graham Polak vibes.

Some embarrassing efforts out there not even doing the basics including some of our kids need a grilling

we should of cut Colina last year..
waste of time

All fair points , but take into consideration match conditioning to.

Smilie over Murphy Reid, Lindsay and Tauru looking like a Fiora like heck up

 

[Tackle Bag]

Can we please call time on Colina. Years on our list now and miles off the required standard.

 

[Daka]

I think your kids U10 team would have put up a better fight than that.

 

[smurfin]

Kaleb Smith our best and should be in line for a call up. Looked lively in the back half right up until he was rested for most of the last quarter.
Sonsie, after being red hot last week was lukewarm at best this week.
McAuliffe about the same but if fit enough you'd think he's put himself in front of Sonsie for a call up.
Smilie got enough of the ball but disposal was generally horrendous. Just happy to see him building up the minutes and think he played close to a full game today. Can be a slow burn for him, no hurry to get him in the seniors.
Alger showed a bit. Wasn't a great game for the forwards but ended up with 3 behinds and looked the most likely to impact the scoreboard.
Bauer, Fawcett & Raso were all fairly quiet up forward.
Blight. I've been optimistic about him, but today I felt you could flip a coin if you needed either him or Kozshitzke to be promoted to AFL and Kozitchke is shit.
Judson. Got a decent half a match under his belt without doing anything that stood out.

 

[db26]

Bauer another one least of our worries with our talls coming in

 

[Coach_Required]

Games like this do give a bit of an insight to older players on our list. Makes the decision to cut them at years end so much easier.

Sonsie
Bauer
Colina
Kosi
OHB

In the gun.

Question marks on:

Fawcett - still young so gets time
Blight - inexperienced so gets a bit more time

 

[voorhees]

from 3-0 to now 3-2
percentage would of taken a hammering aswell.

18 year old kid was our leading possession winner on a shocking day with no support. Get him into the ones as soon as possible I say. We don’t want him acclimatising to this standard

 

[smasha]

Did we have gastro?

Who cares about the score? How did my man smillie go?

Ahhhhhhhh

Leading possession winner but far from a standout.

Ordinary - doesn’t work hard enough
