VFL The VFL Thread Part II - [Wildcard Round (7 v 10) Melbourne v North Melbourne, Sunday 27 Aug, 2.45pm, Casey Fields]

[Kangaroos4eva]

We could do worse than Downie as a rookie.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Aren’t they all 180ish mid’s?

I’m backing Sheezel when he says Wardlaw was the best player in the draft. Especially considering our needs.

Tsatas 187
Humphrey 185
Wardlaw 182

 

[Souup]

I reckon Curtis was told he needs to apply more defensive pressure and that would be his focus for this game.

He has 6 tackles halfway through the 2nd quarter

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

he's blowing hard too and it's not half time

Post knee surgery would do that.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I reckon Curtis was told he needs to apply more defensive pressure and that would be his focus for this game.

He has 6 tackles halfway through the 2nd quarter

The intent is there.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Curtis in just over a quarter had done more than spicer could ever do in a full game

 

[HARPSichord]

Coops always seems to be in the right spots inside 50.

 

[kangaroo7]

Curtis in just over a quarter had done more than spicer could ever do in a full game

If Curtis is playing in the VFL, who's the sub in the senior team? Curtis was named the sub.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Turner tackling pressure elite

Powell sub

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

* starting to struggle against our pressure.

How is this thread going the way of a Tsatas-Wardlaw-Humphrey discussion?

We ended up with the best 2 players and the suggestion is we should have picked Tsatas or Humphrey?

Notice how well we've performed the last 2 weeks with Wardlaw's pure presence at the coal face? Tsatas is an accumulator who struggles by foot, lacks composure and applies no defensive pressure, if you've watched this game then you've seen that play out.

Regarding Humphrey, I was crapping on about him very early days before most had even heard of him - he's not in the same tier as Wardlaw.

Anyway I'm probably not helping.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Perez class

 

[gokangas]

Score and best players update please.

 

[Merlin007]

Kangaroos4eva - great to see the umpires taking their instructions from the essendon players for the out of boards in their back pocket. Good to know these things work by consensus

Haven’t watched much of Tsatas, but he seems very outside. Nice pace though.

Humphries is doing really well, but he seems to be getting by because of his size, intent and pace. If Wardlaw is better, then boy o boy.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Drury been really good this last ten minutes had some really nice kicks.

Lazz also instrumental in the comeback.

 

[Merlin007]

* starting to struggle against our pressure.

we look a bit fitter too

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Score and best players update please.

36-34 *’s way.

Curtis, Howe, Perez, Laz, Drury and Downie best on for me. Keogh had a good second quarter.

 

[Merlin007]

Drury been really good this last ten minutes had some really nice kicks.

Lazz also instrumental in the comeback.

I'm not too sure how many more chances he will get at the top level, but I do feel for the bloke; he gets a crack on the back of good form as a centreman in the 2s, and gets dropped into a forward pocket on promotion. I'm not suggesting he would get mid time in the seniors, it just must be hard to grab a chance when you've not played the role

 

[hellas_johnny]

Liked arches game that quarter. Dawson has also been serviceable

 

[Bren]

Is it windy? Onlyn16 points up one end

 

[Merlin007]

Liked arches game that quarter. Dawson has also been serviceable

His work in general play has improved out of sight; tidy by foot and hand, and runs

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Liked arches game that quarter. Dawson has also been serviceable

Arch has been good.

Lienert has probably conceded 4 goals on his own. Dreadful game by him.

Only one Nuffie that thinks he knows more Than the experts and even the players themselves have said warlord is a gun
