Game Day North intraclub blue vs pink 15/2/25 at 10am

[The Nostradamus]

of the vfl guys macpherson was very impressive

zurhaar best on for mine followed by sheezel, kerch, stephens, duursma, cooper, powell and daniel

 

[roos_fanatic08]

How far is his body off AFL level in your opinion?

As long as he isn’t playing on the real big bodied key forwards then he is more than capable of competing very early this year.

 

[ToxicMegaPunts]

FOS, Mitlock & Gavin all impressive, looking like a great draft haul.

 

[zoomba23]

So good to have someone like FOS who has **** all pressure on him aside from the standard top 5 pick fare, free to go about his stuff as he pleases. Million miles away from Sheezel and Wardlaw basically becoming the face of the club as soon as they were drafted

 

[roos_fanatic08]

No wonder they went hard for him, gave up a lot, and took him over his brother. Seems a great character on top of all that too.

I rated him higher than his brother. Mainly because of his competitiveness, ground level play and balance.

It’s early days but it could pay big dividends.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Be worth getting The Chief or Matty Lloyd to work with Finbar?

It seems like he has everything else in his game to be a handy 2nd banana KPF.

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

stephens

 

[Swallow_Wood]

Will Phillips has been good (minus that kick).
Bit of an unassuming game, but has probably had 20+ disposals and 4+ tackles.

His play around the contest was really good, not just in applying pressure and getting first hands on the ball but also in knowing when to peel off to be the first receiver. Very mature.

 

[Ashley B]

Sausage in the box.

 

[My Left Foote]

No wonder they went hard for him, gave up a lot, and took him over his brother. Seems a great character on top of all that too.

Has a more competitive streak than his brother, that’s why we selected him ahead of Jack.

had a strong game
kicking very good
provided good run

 

[Horace]

Well I had a bit of trouble today working out who was who, but one thing I did pick up from the commentary was that Pink was everywhere. Absolutely by far his best game in the colours.

So it was 3 to Pink, 2 to Pink and 1 to Pink for the votes, plus on that performance a few honourable mentions as well.

I'll leave now.

 

[Shagga is all Class]

The overlap run is the most noticeable improvement from a team perspective

Based on the preseason BF reports, I was expecting rubbish skills again.

The overlap run reduces the need for every possession to be pinpoint and I thought our skills and ball movement in the conditions was a pleasant surprise.

We seem to have good ball users across the ground now and some more players prepared to run from behind and spread in general.

 

[speedy]

Unsighted today.

Everyone on here is so ****ing pessimistic. Haven’t seen one skill error from him today, which is a great sign from the captain.

 

[berniemccarthy]

Maley's dukes going to need to be studied in years to come

Has mitts the size of Stewart Loewe. If only he could kick.

 

[berniemccarthy]

Maley's hands are unreal but I've never been more certain that a player will miss a goal.

Has to be a run past every time. Boomer would have kicked 50 just from Finnbar marks !!

 

[backtothedraft]

Pretty stoked with today. We’re going to be able to kick winning scores this year with our offensive capabilities.

For next weeks game vs Melbourn I’m keen to get a look at how we stack up defensively against actual opposition. There are definitely still concerns over the two way running capabilities of our midfield, and I’m not sold on what seems to be the likely first choice defence heading into the season: Archer, Logue, Comben, McDonald, Tucker and Daniel. I think a fit Josh Goater makes a big difference to how the backline looks overall.

We’ve got some genuine talent on the list now and the midfield rotation is going to stack up against some of the better midfields in the league. Off broadway, i was really excited by RHJ, Whitlock and Urqhart. Hoping my bubble doesn’t burst after week!

 

[Caracas]

Keen to see how Zurhaar functions alongside Larkey & Darling.

He functioned!

Defence looks slow, Goater and Hardeman are the two over the next 12 months that need to take the step up.

Was quietly impressed by Cooper Harvey. Seem to have developed a bit of c*** about him and looks really competitive type, which is what you need as a annoying small forward. Much prefer that than if he went out quietly & without much noise, if this really is his do or die year.

See how it holds up against proper opposition first, though. Pretty sure the overlap looked against the Pies early last year too. And we know how that ended up going

 

[Psi-Roos]

Will there be a replay available? I saw the 1st qtr and last 5 minutes as work got hectic for a bit.

What I saw looked good. Intensity seemed low at the start and end though.

He would be an absolute handful if he had the old man's speed.

 

[Its a Process]

had a strong game
kicking very good
provided good run

I only saw the 2nd half but i thought he was ok as well.

Apart from that hospital handpass to Durs

 

[hilly]

Thanks for the reports everyone. Not one to get too excited or downcast about these tbh.
