[Great8]

Phillipou is ******* elite.

I’ve had him as our best for some time. Have seen him live a stack including today and he is just class

 

[philthy05]

Mattaes hands always impress me. Has always been one grab and vice like

Both above his head and at his toes.

 

[burner1]

How are Keeler and lemmey going?

 

[noobermensch]

The kicking for goal's been excellent considering the windy conditions.

 

[Chris25]

Quality commentary.

Learns the players names, but not how to pronounce the ground they’re playing at.

Someone must be following this thread. Thanks for correcting him.

 

[philthy05]

I’m always genuinely excited about keelers prospects as a 2nd ruck. He always looked extremely good in ruck to me, good enough to be a 1st ruck but as a kpf 2nd ruck he could give a team great looks against opponents 2nd rucks and a different type of ruck to their main ruck

 

[all seeing eye]

How are Keeler and lemmey going?

Keeler good, lemmey just ok.

 

[Jazny]

Seth Campbell

 

[Davo-27]

theres 4 players really breaking away from the pack so far in terms of performance

Isaac Keeler - SA
Mattaes Phillipou - SA
Billy Dowling - SA
Angus Anderson - Allies

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Seth Campbell

What happened i missed it.

 

[philthy05]

What is holts height again anyone? 05 born right?

 

[Jazny]

What happened i missed it.

Nothing when I said it, just think he has done some nice things from limited opportunities.

Oh nvm, been watching in and out.

 

[Thunderstruck]

Crows might wanna get a few more points for Keeler...

? It won’t matter, they can’t match a bid

 

[Jazny]

Cowan has looked good on the ball.

 

[Harlequin Dream]

Jed Walter is a massive talent for next year. 194cm already, fast and agile.

 

[Thunderstruck]

? It won’t matter, they can’t match a bid

Should always plan for these situations well in advance

 

[philthy05]

Should always plan for these situations well in advance

Either you’ve got some wires crossed or I’m missing something?

You can’t match bids on ngas inside the top 40 picks.

Keelers a dead certainty to go inside the top 40.

a very messy game, i dont know if it was the wind or just some poor execution of skills

SA 93 - Allies 56

from my PoV the best were

Mattaes Phillipou - SA - clean hands in tight, good kicking action, kicked 2 goals and had plenty of it
Angus Anderson - Allies - another who was clean in tight, was very composed, good skills compared to most in the Allies team
Billy Dowling - SA - got a few clearances, also good direct fast handballs, clean disposal
Isaac Keeler - SA - the best tall on the ground, kicked 4 goals and competed well in the ruck, also brought the ball to ground inside 50 beautifully

then there were a few to play good footy

SA:
Max Michaelanny - created rebound, smart medium defender
Archie Lovelock - played well in part midfield and then up forward kicking a couple of goals
Jake Walker - i think he was negating his opponent in the 1st half then started winning it himself in the 2nd half, kicked a goal
Jack Delean - took a few good marks and linked up play, kicked a goal too
Jaiden Magor - started the game well kicking 2 goals in the 1st half then faded out of the game a bit
Adam D'Aloia - started off on a flank where he barely got involved in the play in the 1st half, but worked his way into it a little more in the 2nd half to just get a mention

Allies:
Colby McKercher - good running player with some good speed also fought out a few contests, very impressive game
Caiden Cleary - was pretty competitive off half back and a wing early, didnt see much of him in the last quarter
Jason Gilbee - got a heap of poss off of half back, a bit wayward with disposal, but also hit some lovely kicks to get the allies going
Jed Walter - big KPF for 2023, threw his weight around, kicked 2 goals and provided a focal point for the Allies going forward
Seth Campbell - kicked a couple of goals and was 1 of a few Allies that had good skills
Lachlan Cowan - knows how to get the ball, but his ball use was a bit all over the place early
Harry Rowston - in the midfield he was looking to handball to Lawrence all the time, which didnt work well for the Allies, then went forward and kicked 3 goals with the wind
Tom McCallum - another player that was really clean in his marking attempts/spoils and general disposal

players who disappointed:

Anthony Munkara - didnt look like he wanted to be there, tried a little in the 2nd half, but wasnt interested
Harry Lemmey - all game was involved in about half a dozen contests, kicked a goal, not much else to highlight

also wanted to point out that i think Nick Madden missed the most 2-5m handballs in the history of the game in this game, im joking but im not sure if im right, which is the funniest part.

 

[davesnothere]

Colby McKercher this year or next?
There’s a bit of footage around that does show him to look genuinely quick in the Tasmanian Football League.

I reckon that covers off on the main names pretty well mate.

I thought Alex Holt stood out for SA across half back, particularly in the second half. Had some low % longer kicks that hit their mark despite some pressure. Also thought that Rypsta looked dangerous in the forward line and provided some really good defensive efforts.

Kelsey Rypstra no mention?

I'd have him quite high in SA's bests?

Absolutely.
