2nds WAFL/WAFL Reserves Thread 2015

[Avalor]

Where are the reports, guys?

Didn't anyone go to see Hotline?

 

[Boohemian]

Lucas seems to be having a good month. That will make some unreasonably bitter types miserable.

[PRANKSTER666]

Kane Lucas, 30 disposals, 0 tackles, enough said.

College had only 1 tackle and he's an inside mid.

Lucas is getting plenty of the ball. He and Hutchings have to be next in line if injuries hit.

College isn't an inside mid

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Hutchings 31 possessions, two goals, not listed in the best?

 

[mattyc75]

College isn't an inside mid

inside mid would be the only way he could make it in the afl.Way too slow for an outside player and not much of a marking target at his height.

Surely you'd know by now to take any affiliated website's bests as only partially indicative of actual form.

Yeah I know, just wondering how they managed to leave him out.

The West's report had him second behind Blee. Barrass and Newman in there as well, but no Lucas.

Did you watch the game? Just wondering how he's actually playing without just looking at his stats.

 

[Johnno22]

College isn't an inside mid

According to Simpson that is exactly what he is.

 

[kane249]

Well he's doing pretty poor job of it, hasn't played as one all season.

 

[the harry]

Well he's doing pretty poor job of it, hasn't played as one all season.

Probably why he's still in the WAFL then

 

[Eastern Rangers]

People should read too much into Colledges disposal numbers. He's had forty disposal games playing on ball and the vast majority where on the outside and generally meaningless statistics that didn't positively contribute to East Perths overall performance. They lost a few of those games. Colledge is more than capable of having a 20 disposal game where he has much more impact; if he has five clearances, a few goal assists, presents and gets a few good marks on the wings and flanks and drives the ball forward quickly and accurately then he'd have had a good game compared to him getting a long way of up the ground and getting a lot of stats out the back of stoppages and along the wings. Better to let another player do the work of three of Colledge's disposals in a single disposal and in a fraction of the time.

 

[SpaceClef]

Kane Lucas, 30 disposals, 0 tackles, enough said.

East Perth as a whole only laid 42 tackles. Compare that with Geelong today who laid 95 tackles.

McNamara was named EF's best, and laid 0 tackles. Out of the two sides, a total of 22 players laid either 0 tackles or 1 tackle for the entire match.

Hardly enough said.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

WAFL tackle statistics are worth a laugh. Get a fraction of them.

THE WEST AUSTRALIAN "AFL WATCH"


Corey Adamson : Kicked 80m goal early in debut and used his strength to good effect as an inside mid.

Damien Cavka : Gathered 11 possessions on debut playing mostly as a small forward .
Brandt Colledge : Did his job on-ball and as a high forward to gather 16 disposals .

Kane Lucas : Strong second half on a wing enabled him to get 30 touches .

Fraser McInnes : Busy with 16 disposals and 15 hit-outs as a key forward and back-up ruckman .

Have a spare Key Defender and Key Forward in form , Hutchings as midfield reserve and good signs with Adamson showing some signs he might play AFL one day , an eighty metre centre clearance goal in the first quarter is a good start to your Senior career .... wait and see .

 

[LordHaart]

Any bets on who the next rookie promotion will go to? Sounds like Newman and Adamson are putting their hands up.

 

[kane249]

Newman

Adamson's played one senior game for East Perth, way too early to think about an elevation.

 

[RookiePick]

Newman in the box seat but not sure a forward pocket is required at this point. Hill or Cripps need to fall in a heap or be injured.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Brophy would be well ahead of Adamson I'd think. Probably Powell as well.

Moot point in any event, if we were having the season we thought we were going to have after the derby (ie a bottom 6 finish) then we might have blooded some of those guys, but since we're very much in the hunt for the top 4 I doubt we'll see any project players in the seniors.

 

[Barney44]

Brophy would be well ahead of Adamson I'd think. Probably Powell as well.

Powell is closer to EP reserves than the other two, probably in two weeks if the sports scientists ever release Lycett.

Do you know what's the deal with Lycett?

And Waterman?

He's almost ready...
