2014 AFL U18 Championships

[INSANE]

I assume McCartin is injured, he didn't play any footy last week (TAC, APS or the Champs) and won't this week.

 

[LemmingMaster]

can anyone tell me why peter wright and paddy mccartin aren't playing?

They have to rotate players and no doubt it was their turn to rest. You need to play 32 players at least 2 games.

 

[Skippos]

I think metro rotate by tac side and it was wright's turn to sit out. McCartin probably hasn't recovered from the niggle well enough

My understanding is that metro have divided the 36/37 squad randomly into thirds. First two played in the first game, 2nd and 3rd in the second game and 1st and 3rd in the last to qualify players for the 2 games each. The last three rounds will be their best squad. I like the concept as it exposes more kids to the elite level of u18s. Can't make it to tomorrow's Vic metro v Vic country clash, but should be a ripper!

How's Keitel playing?

 

[LemmingMaster]

How's Keitel playing?

Mainly forward and looks dangerous when near him. Better than last week.

Clem is having an average defensive effort.

Pickett is a heap better today and Waterman quiet.

 

[LemmingMaster]

How's Keitel playing?

Kicked one and just missed one then.

 

[eth-dog]

Kicked one and just missed one then.

Durdin on him?

 

[Chris25]

Apparently Johansen, Hamilton, Durdin, Wigg and Hone are some of the better players for SA so far. Johansen, Neal Bullen and Burton some of the goal kickers.

 

[LemmingMaster]

Gaffney goal.

 

[LemmingMaster]

Durdin on him?

Nah

Just missef again.

 

[LemmingMaster]

Kietel kicked one.

 

[Skippos]

CD Ranking Points

Kade Stewart 50
Jarrod Pickett 39
Jake Johansen 47
Josh Hone 45
Sam Durdin 44


Good to see Durdin and Pickett back amongst it. Stewart one to look towards for next year too

 

[Skippos]

Disposals: Johansen 17, Hone 12, Stretch + Durdin 11... Pickett 14, Hardisty + Winton 11

Seems as if it's a bit tighter than the other games WA have played. Good to see.

 

[Coonskin]

How did gaffney and hone play?

 

[LemmingMaster]

All my SA numbers are wrong.

 

[Skippos]

51-43 WA lead at 3QT. Pickett, Winton and Lim apparently good that quarter

 

[Skippos]

Keitel 6 marks & 3 goals too.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Good to see the WA boys get their crap together. A good group of players, just need to play some team football.

 

[LemmingMaster]

Johansen whoa.
