VFL VFL 2023 - Geelong & the greater league

[Bagelboy]

Probably one of the better games this year. Disposal is usually pretty rubbish with lots of turnovers, but this was very different. Maybe Guthrie helps with that. Conway was great after the first quarter, good amount of hit outs to advantage. Strong over head, even does well with the ground ball and follow up efforts. Once he gets more fitness and his body holds up....boy oh boy Wowee.

Nice goal

Flynn looks like a tall warm body to me.

Warm?

That's an....interesting....observation

We have Neale if you want an athletic ruckman. He was the most athletic Ruck in his draft class.
We'll have a good look at him tonight in the ruck.

I love Neale but I think there were only like 2 rucks in his draft

That's a thermometer in his pocket

Kroeger is a big unit. Another who we're playing out of position.

I agree with a lot you say but Neale isn't a natural Rickman, nor is he a natural forward... he's a better forward of the two but he that in-betweener like Rory Lobb.

Mate it’s his 2nd game and 3rd in two years
Let’s just be happy he’s actually out there

Anyone who watched, did they think Kroeger did enough to warrant an extension?

I missed the first quarter but I wouldn't complain if they gave him another year just to see what he can do with a fit body. I thought he looked pretty good, especially so given how much he's missed.

How did Conway go in the ruck duel?? Was he ontop in the hitouts?? Seemed from the stat sheet he did well around the ground and contests.

First qtr I was a bit worried as he got beaten in the ruck. Flynn was really good in the tap.

But Toby dominated after qtr time. He is very good on the ground

Riccardi has shown some real promise over the last few weeks.
Big summer in the gym and he could develop into a handy player

Miers MK2 in time

Go Catters

It feels like he's got the skills of a wingman in the body of a ruckman. He just doesn't look anywhere near physical enough to be competitive in the ruck or up forward. But he's quick, agile, great below his knees, a great kick and can run all day.

I don't know what the answer is going to be with him but I suspect it will take a lot of development. I wouldn't expect him to play that many games next year. But there's a chance he could be a serious player with his skill set too.

 

[Sire of Claude]

With his running ability could Neale become a Blicavs type as in a tall ruck rover?

I am fingers crossed for a debut this week

Maybe. Hard to live up to. We do need to remember the blitz didn’t become his type until a mature player. So maybe in 4-5 years Neale could be that? Would be obviously great if that happened
