VFL VFL round 10 v North Melbourne. Sunday May 29 11:05am @ AIA Centre

[TradeDraft]

North Kicking away easily now

 

[TradeDraft]

Getting soundly beaten everywhere.

Sure are.

North are a Level or 2 above us

 

[ksardog]

Getting smashed
Our mids cant find the ball

 

[danielnajdek]

The forward line structure today has been awful. Soon as someone is running out of the back line they have no one to kick to.

 

[stormskye]

Steene with another great contested mark

 

[ksardog]

Steene another big contested mark

 

[eyeroller]

I like Steene

 

[stormskye]

Only positives today are macrae been his solid consistent self, working hard, and Steene has competed well in the air. Not much else.

 

[sr36]

Steene with another great contested mark

He's a really good prospect.

 

[ksardog]

Aiden Begg needs to take a couple of hundred marks per training session, his hands above his head is holding him back.

 

[Looney]

We have no structure or strategy going forward. Just panic kick after panic kick.

Yep it's been horrible today. Back line players have no chance when running out of the D50.

Made a couple of awful decisions.
Edward on his own screaming for the ball. Begg ignored him and put it out on the full.
Edward got the ball out of packs twice in that 3rdQ and has a beautiful long kick.
Not a single Pie is standing out though. North looking the much better side.

 

[danielnajdek]

Btw how's that grub from North still playing football.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

I missed Begg going off hurt - Anyone clock what happened to him?

No he's back mate.

 

[35Daicos]

Great.

Too late to get a Bad Injury Now

Not really Dave, but it looks like McInnes may not have a major issue, and Kreuger might even make it through a game unscathed!! There'll probably be a few people who will be disappointed at that, given how desperate they are for us to have a pick next Wednesday!

[Sea fog]

North has stockpiled early draft picks and we do not have a lot of great young talent so it is not surprising.

Not a lot of North early draft picks playing because they put them all in the AFL side while experienced players like Turner, Thomas and Cunnington play in the VFL.

Kicked a 2nd Goal in last qtr

Men vs boys.
North look bigger and stronger.

Fair enough but playing those kids in the ones enables some bigger older bodies to be in the twos. Our early and recent draft picks are not getting a look in either because they are not good enough or our preference is for more senior types who are performing.

 

[manicpie]

This explains why we aren't playing these kids yet. Most are not ready

 

[cakewalk06]

Did Reef come back on? or did they give any update on him?

Has always been his problem. Why they then played him as a ruck forward is beyond me

The only position he might make it in is full back… where he can use his athleticism and contested strengths to spoil
