VFL 2022 VFL R3 v Northern Bullants (Sat 9-Apr 12.05pm @ Preston City Oval) [AFL app & https://www.afl.com.au/matches/4182]

[Bianconeri]

Eggmolesse-Smith would be handy on the AFL list.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

My boy Poulter with 11 disposals. Honestly, I see him getting much better once he starts playing in the AFL.

Draper draped all over his opponent, rewarded with a free. Kick is rushed behind.

32 vs 49 pies way.

Glad we got reward for effort in that last 15 mins. It's been a bunch of mature bodied MEN playing a bunch of kids for most of that first half. The fact our more mature VFL players started to have an effect in that last few minutes was a strong sign of leadership. Their "physicality" has rattled a number of our youngsters (their ruckman has put his knees through both Begg and Johnston at contests whilst every other Bullant is doing their best to unsettle the young Pies.) Johnston has copped quite a few whacks on the back of his head going for marks as well. This is "old style" VFL footy!

Our tackling has been ineffective (not that its been poor, just a lot going unrewarded FREES to half time...11-4 their way!) and our mids have struggled to clear the ball with any speed.

For the record, Kelly has been OK down back, as has McMahon and Rough.

Should be a good second half. (I'd not be surprised if Begg sat out the rest of the game, he took a pretty big knee to the guts.)

i think you've made a fair assessment.

I'm wondering why you think kelly has been ok

 

[stormskye]

Your goal Kelly.

 

[Doc1763]

Kelly is a liability
Pies 49 - Preston 38

 

[nahnah]

Kelly delist

 

[Soups]

Kelly keeps finding a way to create a blunder

 

[Aussie pie]

FMD Kelly useless.

My daughter plays under 12’s and she can handball better than that

Don't know what some people see in Kelly.

Looks very ordinary to me.

Hard to defend that. I think the coach needs to have a word with him, needs to know his limitations.

Macrae lifting. Not sure what black says to him at HT every week but should say it at the start next week.

There is a lot to know!!!

He's working really hard, but he's got to improve his ball use to be an AFL relevant flanker.

 

[What is a cakewalk]

Bit of heat in the game. Like that from the young blokes.

 

[Soups]

Poulter has been good on the outside but gee his kicking has been awful.

 

[JB007]

Jetta back is a good move

The message doesnt have to be though. Just, "Keep it simple. Defend your man, don't try being an offensive option".

 

[Seedsfan]

What’s happened with Begg? Feel like maybe the head knock in the first has forced him out of the game

Getting caught with it a bit as well..

Poulter is a turnover waiting to happen, needs to improve decision making

Yeah, either his burst acceleration or awareness is quite poor. Possibly a bit of both.
