2020 Scratch Matches.

[Go Woods]

Looks like Polec was our best

Strange times.

Saw him on the highlights, never have I seen three club guernsey's particpating in the same match, (Polec had his full Roos strip on)

 

[unplugged]

Alright I've watched the Polec highlights, when are they releasing the team highlights?

 

[Jen2310]

I liked the look of rantall. Bianco's foot skills are sublime. Lynch did great. Polec had good chemistry with our mids.

Wait so Polec plays one game for us in scratch match and kicks 3 goals? . Rantall looked good again

Maybe Polec is the heir-apparent to WHE's role of weak half-forward who gets scorched on BF every weekend.

Really bummed Rantall didn't get a look ahead of Cal Brown

How did tohill and broomhead play

 

[Quicky]

I thought Rantall looked good on ball in that clip. Won a bit of it and good hand pass out of traffic.

Ruscoe looked sharp up forward. Still finding the goals.

I love Atus tackling, and his line breaking run through the middle showed he has some flair in his game.

Tohill is looking far more dangerous in the forward line compared to last year. Good to see some development.

There weren't too many defensive highlights and suspect they edited them out. Was interested to see how Langdon went.

No SPIN were you proposing Lynch forward? There's some highlights in there for you.

Was interesting to see C Brown playing given his call up to seniors, unless I have him confused for someone else.

How did tohill and broomhead play

Both had some highlights. Broomhead loves a running goal from midfield. It's the first I recall thinking Tohill looked like he had some promise. Some good leads and marks on the lead.

At this level Broomhead still looks elite. Rather than just good like,we, a few of the other senior listed players.

Looking the best he ever has only to be delisted

Tohill looked pretty good last week as well. The smaller numbers on the ground probably help but hopefully he is gaining confidence which feeds in to his development. He is a good size and moves well.

Just needs to add more bulk/strength.

That's it, Pies will offer Polec a 5 year deal and give the Roos our 1st....

T Brown does, C Brown? Not sure. Varcoe? Not sure. Shaz? Mystery. Hmm....Wills, yes.

The thing Broomhead has over then all is skill and one-touch. Just look how good his soft hands are and his kicking. That's what we're missing in the seniors. That doesn't mean he'll perform as a half-forward though. He's a natural midfielder -- he's a bit too slow as a half-forward (mind you, so is Pendlebury). Frankly, dominating a scratch match and then doing well in the next one, with 4 goals over there two games, puts him way ahead of C Brown, Wills, and several others like Atu. Frankly.

Just shows how pl

Polec playing well just shows how superior our player development is. One game with us and he’s a star!!!!

Was interesting that C Brown played a scratch match, and a couple of days later playing in the seniors. What would be the purpose of that??? So we can expect Brown to be running on the spot after halftime! Good to see Bennell, what looks like give a few encouraging words to Rantall at the end of the game. Maybe the young man impressed Bennell....

Cal only played the first quarter.

 

[Darkyprotector]

Wonder how many more scratch matches Langdon needs under his belt. It's hard without seeing them - no idea how close to his pre-injury form he is

It's over for him

He's been damaged goods for years
If he makes it back good on him
It will be a bonus
It's only a matter of time

Lend me your crystal ball please

Lend me your crystal ball please

Crystal Ball.are you kidding
Damaged his knee rock climbing
Well known
Hence why he missed footy as a kid and was a mature kid drafted
Failed medicals at freeo where his brother was and Sydney ( he was offered big money )
Was forced to stay with us

Damn shame

We're better with him ,gotta get used to it not happening

Could be forced to hang em up after this year and take the payout

Not specifically fwd mate, but suggested his size and tank offers a variety of opportunities for us in combination with Grundy. We need to play Lynch ASAP to assess his potential.
I could see him crashing, banging and wearing out Nit Nat in a double team with Grundy, and similarly Gawn, both of who’s team rely heavily on their Ruck prowess.
If Lynch has some mongrel in him that would be even better.
But all the above are unknowns until he plays in the seniors.

what is the specific damage he’s done to his knee that can’t be repaired or rehabbed.

The scratch matches are hit and giggle and no more intensive than a regular training session.

To answer your question I’d suggest that one of Appleby or Greenwood was slated to play but put their hands up late in the piece that they didn’t feel right.

You gotta wonder why we bothered with recruiting Cameron when Lynch has been there the whole time.

The one that succeeds will be the one who can prove they can hold down key position. Otherwise they are just backups to Grundy.

Ok, so why play a guy that was slated to play seniors? Could have got a fill in player eg. Polec
