VFL 2022 Sandringham Zebras

[g_TRAIN]

How were Coops goals, G? Regulation or a bit of magic Goat marking in there?

I didn't see every goal but I saw two where he lead up to the ball carrier and marked out in front..

He was often involved in the play along with the wings etc and fed the ball out to our other forwards well.

Gathered 15 touches so that's a reflection of his involvement overall.

Billings and Sharman the only real positives out of that game.

Clark got a bit of footy but looked a long way off the pace. Looks like he needs more footy.

Byrnes was also disappointing. He's been very good for Sandy most weeks.

Hunter looked gassed towards the end of the first quarter, and at various times throughout the game you could see him walking around with his hands on his hips at, surely he cant be that unfit can he , missed a lot of targets as well .
Byrnes stats have been ok recently but he is so messy by hand and foot and he really needs to work on it or he wont be getting too many games in the ones

I thought he was really good getting up and down the ground helping out team mates ,

Is he still living with Mason Wood? I know he took him under his wing early on. I wonder whether he’s been inspired by wood’s efforts at getting back down to help in defence and around the ground

 

[Joffaboy]

What is his percentage of goals per set shot, ive got no idea but bet it is quite low. As a forward got to kick those and no thought he went quite well but obviously not up to full fitness. M y point is that he should be kicking those

Yes understood, biggest knock on him, however 31 possessions in a team well beaten and looked pretty good. Would love for him to kick at goal.like Sharman, but alas and alack.

Wwhy wasn't HIghmore playing

Wwhy wasn't HIghmore playing

Think he is held over as an emergency for tonight’s game

I find it hard to believe that the wear and tear on your body isn't almost as bad in the ZEBRAS as it is in the SAINTS! So when they want to protect players on the fringe who have proved they are ready wouldn't they be inclined not to play the HIGHMORE and the NWM when they are ready but no room just yet.......i would have thought from an obtuse point of view that would be the way to protect them. Maybe logic is counter intuitive sometimes!
When it comes down to brilliance in terms of managing a list the bleeding obvious is not always so obvious!

Very "bold" of you to come over to our board sir

 

[PoppedCorn]

Was out all day and got a quick chance to turn it on for a squizz only to find it had bloody finished
And a pantsing


Cheers for reports on the goat etc

Good to see billings getting touches, which should push up his trade value

I think it's more the fact you need to have emergencies that haven't just played a game a footy.

I reckon they'd all have played if the game was tomorrow.

 

[BrutThough]

Sharman?

Would have been 2nd best for Sandy but dont think he was as noticeable across the 4 quarters as JB was.

Yeah probably....although i reckon they are protecting NWM as his potential is 'elite elegance' and they don't want him ironed out like Michael JACKSON against MIke TYSON! You do get the feeling that the LIONS do have those bigger bodies that could really muck NWM up!

Just been keeping an eye on him and think he is a talent and dumbfounded that he's not getting a game with the Saints. He will be somewhere else I'd imagine next season

Wish Freo didn't turn the screws to get acres in the hill trade. Couple seasons locked into 1 position and coming good. Killing Hawks.

 

[prophetic1]

Sorry but I think he has a definite point ...which obviously you don't ...but that's not unusual!

He's a handy footballer

I think we might regret not playing him if he leaves

If he was a really reliable kick for goal he would be one of the first picked as he never has any trouble finding the ball. He did look good at times.

 

[PoppedCorn]

I neither ageed or disagreed because I don't feel the need to express my point to everyone 90% of the time

But...seeing as I'm in a spectacular fine mood I'll give my opinion.

I tend to agree
I think he should be in.
In fact I'd have him in over coff when fit but if he doesn't get games he may very well look at other offers and leave, funny enough, this happens every year

 

[tomjoad]

Yeah, agree. I have big wraps on him. think in his reviews that they're trying to tweak some of his decision making and at times some of his disposal let's him down.
Unfortunately think you're right, he'll be either traded, or be definitely looking elsewhere (although I think he's contracted for next year...not sure though)

 

[AirWinmar]

If he was a really reliable kick for goal he would be one of the first picked as he never has any trouble finding the ball. He did look good at times.

There was that year I think 2017 when Cho played him as a half forward and he kicked something like 20 goals 35 points averaging around 20 disposals. Even if he went at 50% he would have had an amazing year and we would have had a better 1 as well

 

[puppy_dog7]

Bad news for the seniors if this is the energy they bring after a bye

Spot on

 

[LJC05]

Whats been happening with Oscar Adams? Injured?

 

[Plugger35]

We got a bit too cute with our selections tonight and paid the price, Billings, Clark, NWM and Sharman all should have played tonight.
