[Hollow Knight]

I think its important to say that I never doubted our recruiting staff for one moment when selecting Kai Lohman

I remember Twomey saying Geelong were going to pounce on him at pick 24. Hope they are enjoying the show today.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Great fight back. Let’s steamroll them now.

 

[LIONS08]

Might have to get the #1 chucked into my jumper in anticipation!! Absolutely love his hunger!

 

[BRAB]

Froggy

 

[mattsmob]

Much better finish to the quarter, nice transition play that ended in a Berry goal. Lohman has been best on ground for mine so far, Berry and Prior have looked good, Payne solid so far.

 

[LIONS08]

Berry also having a solid game in the midfield! I don’t know who for but I would love for him to get a go in the 1s at some point this year! Hard at it and seems to have some pace which we lack in there!

 

[pulpdriver]

Good quarter once the midfield pulled their finger out. They were really strong in the second half of the quarter. We have a good one in Lohmann. Any other forwardline in the AFL and you'd think he'd play next week. Berry following up last week and looks like he's taken another step.

 

[pulpdriver]

Froggy

Sun in his eyes.

 

[Dalions]

Lohmann is a treat to the eyes.
I like Tunstill as well.
Wilmot turns the ball over a bit but he will get there.
Took a nice mark at the end of the quarter but then turned it over.

 

[knaf]

one point down at the break. Lehman, Berry, Prior best as others have said. Rucks winning but hard to say how strong the opposition is. No DevRobb?
Tunstall flashed in for a minute to set up a goal.

Dev sub for tonight's game.

Really love the the promising glimpses from Tunstill and Lohmann in the VFL so far this season, Lohmann has x factor and energy in spades and Tunstill looks like a cool natural footballer.

Nailed the draft, Wilmot looking good as well.

 

[harvester]

Makes me wonder how lohmann wasn't considered higher up the draft

 

[mattsmob]

Wilmot looks to have a lot of potential but jeez he’s raw at the minute which is to be expected. Think he may be a bit further off than expected after the preseason

 

[Clarkythelion]

gee I hope we get a better run with the umpiring in the 1sts

 

[Mr Ripper]

Kai allowed to play on two metres over the boundary five metres in front of the mark.

 

[Clarkythelion]

This game is a bit like watching under 14's with the errors

 

[pulpdriver]

We can be sloppy and too tentative coming out of defence. Looked similar against Carlton.

Injured for half of the season, and had private school footy. Barely played NAB league and was injured for the Vic C v Vic M challenge matches.

Couldn’t put my finger on it, but yes potential but raw. Great description

Thought it’s been a pretty good game personally. Not trying to single you out because a lot of people do it but I think the level these guys are playing at is a little underrated by a lot of people. They’d be trying to run the same systems as the AFL team does so trying to execute the skills under that much fatigue is always going to be tough. For me what these games are good for is seeing who is clearly above this level or who shows signs they will be above this level.

 

[knaf]

Matho, Sharp and E Smith that quarter best for me. HSmith showing potential. Payne solid.
Coleman got to the right spots with pace in contests but didn’t really capitalise. Buzza is an ok VFL footballer.

 

[M Malice]

James Tunstill at pick 41 and I'd never heard of him before draft night, congratulations to Conole and the recruiting team.

 

[bato]

I'm starting a Kai Lohmann fan page.

 

[martinson]

Apart from his apparent skills and speed the thing I really like about Lohman is that he's got a lot of devil in him. Gives out and expects no quarter.
