VFL VFL Round 4 v Carlton. Friday April 17th. 7:05pm @ Ikon Park

[Jen2310]

Team should be out soon.

Looking forward to Reef playing a game game

At least the afl emgs (baring any late changes tonight) should be able to play.

Why are we resting McCarthy and Saxena, I would have thought they've had plenty of resting already

 

[Jen2310]

2025 draftee Angus Anderson will continue his AFL duties following last week’s debut, while fellow draftees Zac McCarthy and Jai Saxena have been managed. Off-season VFL recruit Zavier Maherrounds out the omissions.

Harry Kennedy, Charlie McCartin, Josh Bennetts, Tadhg McCarthy, Liam Hude, Rod Ali and Ryan Eyre will serve as emergencies for the clash.

Yeah given there was a bye last week

That’s a bit odd to me..

 

[manicpie]

Mind blowing

Good to see Browne back. Kid can play

 

[Mollythedolly]

Yeah given there was a bye last week

Won’t hurt them, it’s a long year

 

[TradeDraft]

Yeah given there was a bye last week

Rest sounds BS

 

[Hardas]

Yeah, I was surprised too, at first, but they're both still really thin. Think they'll both get there eventually.

Mind blowing

Does seem like an unusual decision, given the VFL schedule.

Maybe the fitness staff have identified something which requires a prolonged rest from playing.

Has to be, otherwise it doesn't make sense

Didn’t we sign will phillips and Eddie ford? Haven’t seen much of them

Teakle I like in defence… but likely playing ruck with Smit… who is listed down back

Ford and Phillips been Injured

 

[Vicky Park]

Going to this and was really looking forward to seeing Saxena.

Guess I’ll have to settle for seeing our other future champs - Swadling and Prindable.

 

[Jen2310]

I saw Mccarthy and Swadling at tonight game. Standing next to Zac makes me feel like 2ft tall lol
But don't think he understood the management either, but the club knows what its doing

I reckon we did this with last years draftees early in the year too

And these two are prob the most raw of the draftees, just managing their bodies.

 

[satty]

There is a spot in the AFL side for swadling. One dominant performance from him and we are potentially looking at an anzac day debut.

 

[Moore of the Same]

Why are we resting McCarthy and Saxena, I would have thought they've had plenty of resting already

Seems weird, but they're the youngest two on the list, so probably something about load management.

Hoping to see Swadling, Buller and West in particular back up their performances a fortnight ago.

 

[sr36]

Hoping that West or Buller have a good game. Menbrey just isn't playing like a tall.

 

[Harry O]

Won’t hurt them, it’s a long year

Absolutely. Youngest 2 players on our list. Very skinny. Manage them carefully

Well that’s a pretty piss poor attitude if he’s doubting the clubs plan for him.

Big difference between not fully understanding and doubting the decision
And would not be expecting Jen to tell everyone either

 

[Harry O]

Anyone have the Carlton team for tonight?

 

[Eric Shin]

Let’s get the win in this one also.
