Eyre and Ashwin getting the game ahead of more fancied others is interesting…

Eyre and Ashwin getting the game ahead of more fancied others is interesting…

Eyre has been pretty good.
Thought Ashwin did some nice things last week.

With Cox not playing given he was the sub, does Jetta come in, or will they go with the other ruck in Purcell?
Be interesting to see who is 1st ruck now. Begg is named in defence. Will Steene first ruck even though they have been using him forward.

Could play Steene in the ruck and bring in Glover. We'll see.

Ashwin is the 23rd player - only some players are eligible for 23rd status

I really hope they play Begg down back

Down 3 defenders this year in madgen, McMahon and Kelly now being a winger

Not to mention the senior side could do with another 197cm defensive option

 

[Mkcaptain]

Allan is really coming into his own in this back stretch of the season. Great to see.

 

[VinnieB]

Kreuger can play down back as well.

 

[legendstatus]

Reserves aren’t a measure if AFL success the next week but let’s hope

Krueger
AJ
Reef
Allen

Rip it up big time today because we ain’t hit much else!!!!

 

[Markfs]

reasonable commentators...thank you to those who make these decisions.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Wish Carlton getting annihilated by Gold Coast. It looks like we'll play the winner of North and Richmond at home in the 'wildcard' game.

 

[stormskye]

Good start so far. Reef with a nice intercept mark and goal

 

[stormskye]

Macrae needs to improve his forward entries if he’s to take another step.

Our VFL team will likely be decimated by afl promotions next week. Likely week 1 elimination

The more I watch the VFL, the more I think that Hine needs to go. Some fresh perspective would be good.

A lot of our picks in recent years though mate have been late speculative picks that rarely make it. Haven’t had access to the top end for some time. It does show. He’s done alright with ginni and mccreery, Harrison looks ok, all late picks. We are and will be paying for the poor trading for a couple more seasons

 

[Go Woods]

Any chance we can see Reefs skills as a midfielder?
I'm perplexed as to why we play him as a forward in the VFL.
He needs to be ready to make the step up to AFL level in 2024 as a mid.

His forward marking and craft has been impressive recently. I’ve changed a little on him there. Generally a good kick for goal too.

 

[KinderSmock]

Josh Eyre has just about written himself a contract for next year.

He doesn't have the tank to play midfield yet.

I think you've got your wish. It's 132 points in the last quarter.

Allan is a cut above

I’ve been wanting him to debut since early this season

 

[stormskye]

Crossley looks like a bloke they’ve just grabbed from the stands and said “want a game?”

He wouldn’t be far away, next season certainty.

 

[stormskye]

Really just don’t see it with Richards. Was an interesting selection to say the least

 

[Go Woods]

Been in the system for 2 years and we need the next wave of midfielders ready to push through.
