How did ____ go on the weekend?

Why not consult the Alesana Player Video Database.

Resource - Player Video Database

Putting this into a spreadsheet for convenience. 2024 is still there in a tab on the bottom of the sheet. I'll update this as much as I can throughout the year. The All Stars game and our match sim against Richmond are now up.

Ran his backside off in the first, then disappeared in the second. Maybe tired from a long season?

maybe but looks a bit meh.

HJ and Grego get around it a bit but really dont do a lot

Livingston is too slow for AFL i think

Malakai is very quiet

 

[Cuzz09]

Yeah HJ needs to be just given a Richo role.

Just run after it mate

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

I actually really bloody like Coen Livingstone. He's a workhorse, loves a snag. Would be so unlucky to be delisted this year. Big reason why the AFL needs to give clubs extra list spots for NGA players.

If you want to increase indigenous participation at the highest level, stop sitting on your hands and do the obvious thing, AFL.

He's got a massive heart, but he's too slow for a KPP and too short for a ruck. At the very least I hope we can keep him at the Beagles.

Johnston and Grego are doing a lot of the heavy lifting I thought, not sure what else you're after? Lacking support at the end of plays when JWilliams looks like the only likely one for us to kick a goal.

Remember thinking Hall looked average at this level and hasn’t looked out of place in the 1s. I think Grego and HJ will follow suit

that's what I think about Malakai.

Reckon he would be great if given a long stretch in the AFL

 

[Happy Mastenator]

No reason not to give Grego a debut next week and a taste to take him into the preseason.

Yep absolutely, HJ, Livingston and Malakai too

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Yep absolutely, HJ, Livingston and Malakai too

They’ve both had games. Grego and Livingstone only two on the list who haven’t debuted once newton plays tomorrow

 

[WestCoast05]

that's what I think about Malakai.

Yeah I agree on this one.

Malakai showed what he could be when given a shot in the AFL but just doesn't seem like the same player in the BEAGLES, except for that one game where they tried him in the middle.

He also seems to always on the wing away from the action, wondering if that's instructional.

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

He's got a massive heart, but he's too slow for a KPP and too short for a ruck. At the very least I hope we can keep him at the Beagles.

I understand he doesn't have too many AFL level traits, but consider the fact he's been drafted as a ruck and given two full pre-seasons to develop before we have to punt him off the list. Not put a foot wrong.

Long bow to draw, but imagine if Cox was a Cat B rookie and we had to punt him after two years? I see where you're coming from, but I just don't think the system is fair. The AFL could take a massive step towards fixing an issue and for whatever reason refuse to do so. Seems like a no-brainer to me

 

[Bender_]

Great, the Beagles and their half-time valiums kicking in.

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

HJ needs a yuuuge pre-season in the gym. No lack of talent that's for sure

 

[Bender_]

2 late hits gifts Swans an easy shot at goal. Lucky miss.

 

[Cuzz09]

Livingston could probably break even in the ruck but around the ground may be an issue in the AFL

 

[TwoStriders]

What are all the white specks on the ground down at the Swans 50? Looks like a thousand cigarette butts.

 

[new breed]

J Williams leading up the ground , which is good coaching for AFL return next season maybe .

Are you meaning Dean Cox. By the end of his first season playing for East Perth he was playing in a Wafl grand final and playing at a decent level. Cox's problem was fitness not ability. Coen won't make it.

 

[Bender_]

Grego with zero awareness there.

 

[triplegee]

Poor awareness by Grego

 

[Cuzz09]

Grego with zero awareness there.

he gets caught a lot.

 

[new breed]

Kickett could be Cat B also.

 

[Bender_]

You could see that push from the moon yet somehow the umpire 5 metres away let's it go.

 

[Bender_]

Wrong side for a left footer.
