VFL The North VFL Thread [2024 - NMFC lt GWS in Rd5 - CT 24d/14m/1.0; Shiels 23d/10tackles/1.0; Sellers 3g; Maley 2g; Bergman 22d; Arch 15d/8m]

[The Nostradamus]

I knew Hamish free was bad but he’s maybe even worse than that

Useless in the ruck and essentially the slowest person ever

Finnbar the standout
Liked wilphil also
Comben looked strong in defence

 

[Devington]

Good luck to the VFL lads, I'm going to try and catch up on some sleep before the main event.

Peace out

 

[roos_fanatic08]

considering our aerial dominance, we should be belting them.

To half time:

Maley with 8 marks
Comben with 8 marks
Biggie with 5 marks
Dawson with 5 marks

 

[Roosurgence]

I know Free is break glass in case of emergency, but can’t see him being on the list post this year.

Loved Dawson’s quarter and what I have seen of Hardeman. But Maley hands are ridiculous!

If these kids start pushing through there is going to be one exciting AFL side.

 

[cybercrab]

Wil Dawson has been really good this year, playing very well for an 18 year old

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Hardeman looking the goods so far.

Another one who (in his thread) was criticised for not being able to kick,
But he has hit some beauties today!

 

[Waynesworld]

As raw as he is, I am calling it now.

Maley is an upgrade on CCJ.

CCJ did kick 9 in a VFL game last year...

The more pleasing thing is that he has a mature body, is quick and is fairly agile.

 

[Roosurgence]

CCJ did kick 9 in a VFL game last year...

And I bet in that 9 he didn’t look as good aerially as Maley.

 

[Twangler]

Loving the signs from our key position stocks particularly Maley and Dawson. Biggest list weakness so it’s great to see!

 

[roos_fanatic08]

And I bet in that 9 he didn’t look as good aerially as Maley.

Most of his shots on goal were results of chest marks on that day. He was also playing on a very undersized back line.

 

[Waynesworld]

Future is bright

Maley, Dawson, Riley, Sellars, Comben, even Biggie has been pretty good.

Hoping George comes on (as hasn't done a lot today) and if Goad can put on some size, could be a really good group

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Arch been really good too, has competed hard and been quite neat with his disposal.

Outside of Watkins our mids need to step up though. Get Greenwood in there for the 2nd half.

 

[JGreezy]

Maley is very raw in a lot of areas but if we just need someone to clunk marks, do a few minutes of rucking, and be a menace in any other way ... Do we have a better option?

Other than Comben, who we are trying down back

 

[speedy]

I think 3/4 of our spine is playing vfl atm.

 

[Roosurgence]

Most of his shots on goal were results of chest marks on that day. He was also playing on a very undersized back line.

Mayley is so clean in the air, if he can translate his tank to AFL level and has the smarts to run to the right positions, he will be an absolute weapon.

Kid was playing park footy not long ago, so the upside seems huge considering where he is coming from.

 

[ansonholt]

Half time 41-23

Finbar Maley is the story. 8 marks. 1 goal. A couple of soaring leaps among them. Best on easily at the moment.
Sellars has competed well and is being double teamed. 2 goals is good though.
Drury had been excellent. Great delivery i50. Nuyon very good. Liked his game. Hardeman Dawson and Goad have all done good things.

Hansen jr has been okay. Jacko Archer having a good game. Comben has taken some good intercepts and generally used it well. Brayden George a bit quiet but coming from a ways back. WiPhi has been okay. Disappointingly okay. Greenwood has been pretty good.

Maley is the story of this game though. Super impressive.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

What I love about Will Dawson is that when he spoils, he wants to get body on the opposition and he really wants to hurt them, but he does it in a way that’s fair. s**t loads to like about this kid.

Wait until he has another 8-10kg on his frame, he is going to be a wrecking ball.

[JGreezy]

I reckon Hardeman could step right in to seniors and not be a weak link.

 

[Roosurgence]

Don’t sleep on Goad. He’s upside is massive. Big blokes with his wheels are unicorns.

He just needs time to grow into that frame.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Mayley is not me grab in the air, if he can translate his tank to AFL level and has the smarts to run to the right positions, he will be an absolute weapon.

Kid was playing park footy not long ago, so the upside seems huge considering where he is coming from.

Takes the ball at the highest point and he has a solid leap too, don’t think it’ll matter what grade he plays at those hands are always going to be an issue for any defender.

 

[speedy]

A lot of familiar names in the blues team, they seem pretty strong, so this is a good performance by our mob.

 

[shinboner magic]

Maley
Dawson
Hardeman
Sellers
Chom

Get these guys into the team asap
