Sharp is up to it in the toughness stakes for a track runner

Was always a tough nut as a junior, just very light.

 

[Mr Ripper]

That quarter was… something.

 

[Nathan Barley]

ESmith looking pretty good forward. Could he be something?

Neigh.

 

[McIvor]

Lol what was that free to Buzza for?

I know it was to our advantage if its the one I am thinking of, but that was a legitimate rushed behind At all levels of umpiring these days, even in the QAFL, I feel like umpires are making up there own rules.

I mean someone gets tackled and shore its a hard tackle, but that doesn't mean it should be a free b/c the guy grimmaces in a tckle.

Also, its probably the best game Eli has played that I've seen.

 

[McIvor]

That’s TBerry in 49, right?

And it still adds up to 13 - 4+9 lol

Certainly handy to have another player putting their hand up and being noticed in the reserves. Thought he was playing well even before this last quarter.

Mathieson also had a lazy 48 disposals today with Robinson having 33 disposals as well, so we have some pretty good depth in the reserves

 

[Jeremiah001]

Reville could be quite a player after his third quarter as well. Great front on tackle.

Love Bruce, great mover.......someone should pick him up.

 

[AFLQLD]

I only caught the last quarter but thought Eli Smirh actually showed a bit and I gave been critical of him. Maybe not enough to keep him at AFL level but still half a season to go.

The usual suspects were solid. Carter Michael looks like he is understanding his role more and more. He certainly seems worth persevering with and maybe a debut next season as he seems the most natural replacement for Rich when the time comes. McFadyen seems like he might be useful as a halfback but a lot to work on.

Sharp is still finding his way but there are glimpses that suggest he has a lot of development yet to come.

 

[Lazza16]

Number 54 Barry...looks like a smooth operator.

 

[Milux]

Thought Eli played out his skin today. Could of kicked 5. I'd love for him to get a crack at seniors at least once.

Paynes ankle injury didn't look great. Although it looked like they were trying to strap it but it didn't seem to be good.

 

[briztoon]

I wonder how much our VFL top ups receive?

Salary cap of $110k, and 10 top ups. I imagine Buzza is the highest paid amongst them.

 

[Gadzorks]

Don't suppose there's a way to replay the game tonight?

 

[Ray Button]

I didn't see all of the second half, but I don't recall seeing Fullerton after half-time?

Is it likely he's on a plane to Perth as the emergency?

 

[Gadzorks]

Matho should go to another team. In twenty years time he could be both proud of his loyalty and able to boast about playing AFL as regular top 22.

He would do wonders for North. Not that I'd wish that upon him. But would be great to see what he can if he is given a consistent run

I was listening to the coverage while driving, and at one point the commentator screamed something about Fullerton taking a big pack mark in the 50, during the first half.

Makes sense to be a flying tall emergency

I reckon Matho will get a 2 year deal at the Eagles..this is after they realise Devrob isn’t going anywhere

 

[Nunez]

I think Robbo loves it in Brisbane and wouldn't want to move interstate. He seems very happy as a high paid VFL footballer/break in case of emergency contract.

I meant Matho, but equally think this probably applies to Robbo this year lol.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Big game from Matho. Probably what he needs to do to command a senior position at his age.

Cockatoo found more of the footy but still funny and panicky with the ball.
