2nds The Casey Thread 2022

[Fork n Hell]

another good hanger by JVR.

 

[Lampers]

JVR another hanger in the centre square marking the kick out.

Weid handpass to Dunstan who kicks a goal. Casey up 23-21.

 

[Fork n Hell]

Weid playing well again but his ball use by foot letting him down.

 

[Lampers]

I don’t think he’s big enough to do it at AFL level, but JVR is a handful as a ruck. Mobile with good hands at ground level, strong in the air too.

about the only Demon on the fringe of selection who hasn’t done much. A couple of tackles.

 

[CWaffles]

Way too easy for Brisbane the last few goals

There’s not a huge amount of defending going on. It’s a pretty open game.

 

[netslave]

who is this numpty on commentary? He said earlier Spud Frawley made a comeback to football when it was Chip.

 

[Lampers]

Interesting to see JVR out there and Wilmot for Brisbane. Melbourne supposedly wanted Wilmot and had to settle for JVR when Brisbane swooped.

Both are looking good today.

Poor bloke is having a ‘mare on the mic.

 

[netslave]

the human highlight reel JVR!

 

[Lampers]

Bailey Laurie another who has been quiet, he often has some time on ball but I don’t recall any today. He’s mostly been on the forward flank so far.

JVR kicks his third. Strong mark, dribble from the pocket and now one with the ball going long and running onto it in the goal square. Now in the ruck and gets the clearance.

yeah time for a run on ball for Laurie, try get him into the game.
that's what i like about JVR he can get goals in different ways.

How's JVRs kicking skills in general play? Rather than pin our hopes on him as a key forward saviour could he take up Melks role next year as a sorta defensive 2nd tall who finds space?

 

[Lampers]

Brisbane have taken some great overhead marks today.

Hard to say what his general play kicking has been like. Four kicks for three goals. I think he’s more an impact player than one who has high end foot skills.

He’s been getting handpasses out to mids when rucking.

I reckon his point of difference is he relentlessly and aggressively competes for the ball. When he gets into the seniors I think it would not play to his strengths to have him used in a defensive forward role.

 

[stEdy]

JVR is a powerful unit, kinda reminds me of a young Ox in some ways

Maybe it's his hair cut

Kicked 3 but some of his gathers/hands in tight were class for a big man. Gonna be a star

So then more like your Zurhaar type? Or not as powerful?
There's just not many not overly tall forwards who don't add alot in other areas who are successful in the league.

Taller than Zurhaar, more agile too. JVR wouldn’t be as strong through the legs as Zurhaar (yet).

He’s an in between size for AFL level, so there is a risk his game won’t translate where everyone is bigger and faster than they are in the VFL. But it’s not like he’s your typical VFL 6’2” star forward who is a one trick pony that won’t work at AFL level.

I think he’d be good in a second tall forward role at AFL level, or if we didn’t have Fritsch he could be that third tallish forward who needs to be respected in the air and on the ground. I can’t see him being the primary tall forward at AFL level.

 

[Lampers]

Jordon, Bedford and Dunstan starting onballers for the second half.

he'll take Melks spot next year imo but will be an outright target. he can play a similar role to TMac. he actually reminds me a bit of Jack Reiwoldt or Hogan at times.

Riewoldt has beautiful skills on both sides but I wouldn't say him and Hogan were anything alike.

. This is the least professional commentator I’ve heard for a VFL game, and the bar is already low.

Ball living in brisbanes forward line

 

[Fork n Hell]

Riewoldt has beautiful skills on both sides but I wouldn't say him and Hogan were anything alike.

i just see similar things in his game at times that remind me of those guys, i'm not saying he is a clone of either.
