VFL 2024 - Reserves Game Day discussion Rnds 2 - 21 (Merged threads)

[Jimmae]

Mental more than anything for Lemmey.

Slows right down in terms of intensity - not just application - so I'm questioning his aerobic ability.

 

[Pablito]

Moir showing his immaturity this second half.

 

[Jimmae]

Should have been holding the ball on the wing, then Ramshaw does nothing to contest an easy chest mark at CHF for the Pies... puts them up by 1 point.

 

[Jimmae]

Moir cramping after going in the air for that contest on the wing to try and flick the ball on... not ready for AFL in exactly in the ways I described in the first half.

Still Pies by 1: we're barely able to stay on our feet, Pies wilting a little too.

 

[Pablito]

Blues lose by 1 point. 2 concussions.

Shit weekend.

 

[Jimmae]

Too much dumb football to describe at the stoppage now... Ferronato and O'Keeffe the only two keeping their heads

... and that's it.

 

[euphegenia]

What a shit weekend.

 

[JJBagger]

Great effort with only 2 on the bench for the best part of the second half. Hard to be too flat

 

[Mondyboy]

Cowan/Young/Binns.

The rest are either not ready or injured or both.

Liked Cowan’s game. Looks to have filled out a bit, solid in the contest and kicked it fairly well. I suspect he’ll come in to the seniors with Cincotta in some doubt.

Young was solid as you’d expect and potentially could be in the mix to play on one of GWS’s tall forwards.

HOK looks a talent for the future but still a bit too raw.

Moir has some tricks but he’s too raw and a bit too focused on the highlight play at the moment. He’ll improve his consistency over time.

Binns is a very good VFL player. Hard to know how he’ll handle the step up to AFL though given he lacks some size and penetration. Might be worth a look given Ollie’s early season struggles.

 

[Das2Blue]

Cowan was really good , probably finds himself in firsts soon..(has the Body and presence most others lack)

 

[Juddrockz]

If Cowan doesn’t get called up, I’ll be stunned.

I think Young will also get a game. Has been good.

Young needs to mark the ball when the opportunity arises. He has this terrible habit of the double hand tap when he should be taking the easy mark.

 

[Opium]

Looks like Moir injured his knee late. Hopefully not too serious.

 

[memoryofmchale]

Should always recruit from elsehwee and add players to your talent pool. Especially if we are destroyed by injury even further.

I would like to take a punt on McMahon at the end of the season though.

I think Collingwood cut him too soon. Fluffed around with him in defence for a year and the new position didn’t suit a player who’d been a forward for all of his career.

He has some things to like.

Apparently cramp

HOK I’d be tempted to put him in this week instead of Pitto if we want to play 2 rucks. He’s killing it

Still a bit raw but showing good signs for the future. Would get monstered at AFL level atm, but at least he shows something around the ground that Pitto doesn't.

 

[SurreyBlue]

I'm not sure Binns is ready. As we knew O'Keefe has a bright future. Moir and Lemmey amongst others need time. Would prefer Lemmey forward to develop as the understudy to McKay / Charlie, if needed.

For me it's Cowan to replace Saad and time to stand up young man.
Young for McGovern and/or hopefully Marchbank is ready.

Jason Bennett is a pro and gave a great mention to the Blueseum a while back as MC at a Spirit of Carlton function. Seems his co-commentators know as well.

Carltonman?

 

[The Blueseum]

Carltonman?

Yes, huge Carlton supporter with a vast knowledge of our history. Loves it.

 

[Blues_Man]

Looks stronger through his core than Ollie.

Not even close, did you see the filth player brush him aside like a feather

 

[BluStreak]

Moir did not appear to have any idea about the speed of the game. Broken tackles, fumbles, not chasing etc

Yep, definitely not ready. Didn't show much athleticism either - fitness still a work in progress.

 

[Coona Blues]

Yep, definitely not ready. Didn't show much athleticism either - fitness still a work in progress.

I love that they are working Moir up the ground and in the middle. Underdone, but full of class, particularly forward. His class would have him manufacturing at least a couple of goals a game if played deep forward. The rank and file supporters would be screaming for his inclusion off the back of it and he would be nowhere near ready.

The bloke is growing in to quite a physical specimen and seems the type who is more likely to flourish after developing than fronting up as an immature teen. Getting a taste of playing against larger bodies will be a positive. Build his resilience and his confidence.

Slow burn, but quite heartened by what I am seeing.
