VFL Game Day VFL Round 12: North Ballarat vs Essendon (100-46 win)

[eDPS]

Laverde running very well

 

[JayJ20]

is looking good so far, seniors might not be that far away

Yeah he looks like he'll be ready sooner than what we thought

 

[eDPS]

VFL umpires amaze me

 

[rumply]

Not sure where he slots in to be honest.

I will be happy if he plays the remainder of the season out at this stage. Already looking to good for this level.

as a forward yeah, setup would need to be rejigged to fit him in.

 

[eDPS]

How about in the back?

If it were like for like replacement it would have to be for Stewart, which I can't see happening. It's Stewarts position to lose I think.

I would like to see Laverde play as a wing.He's quick enough and I feel he would add a point of difference with his marking and physicality.

Might need a few more km's in his legs though which could take a few more weeks.

 

[eDPS]

Nob has been shocking

 

[eDPS]

Mutch, Hind and Redman involved to create a Laverde shot at goal, these 4 have been our best

 

[eDPS]

We lead 36 to 30 at half time.

He does seem to be playing that type of role at times, this quarter at least, pushing well up & wide. Looking a class above despite set shot issues.

 

[eDPS]

Been a scrappy game. Francis has has a bit of it but has turned the ball over alot. Ridley has been neat with the ball just not much of it. Mutch has been super in the middle and has used the ball well. Clarke has shown great attack and tackling pressure. Merrett has tried hard up forward but kicking to him hasnt helped. McKernan has been poor. Hocking, Howlett and Stanton have been meh. Redman perhaps our best of half back he has run hard and used the ball well.

D.P.S. might know whether h has ever played a wing sort of role in U18's?

He would certainly add something extra to our midfield and having the ability to push forward he could be a real weapon.

 

[loopy_cam]

Laverde looks our most dangerous.

Begley and Langford probably a decent chance to play Friday since they're being rested.

Laverde played mostly half back and half forward in the 18s

 

[Snake Charmer]

How's Boyse going?

 

[eDPS]

How's Boyse going?

Done some nice things, delivery up forward hasn't been great

 

[rumply]

hows the ass going Runk?

 

[rumply]

"genuinely cold up here" - commentators doing it hard

 

[eDPS]

Mutch been super impressive. Massive workrate

 

[eDPS]

Draper getting involved now around the ground and Laverde kicks his 2nd

 

[doug85]

Nice goal from the boundary to laverde. Should have 4 by now.

 

[doug85]

Laverde could play AFL before the end of the season.

 

[eDPS]

Awesome work from Laverde leads to a Hocking goal. I shudder when NOB gets the ball his kicking has been atrocious

 

[DERO]

Don't mind this big Strauchan

 

[Snake Charmer]

The big red head is marking everything
