VFL 2023 - Reserves Game Day discussion Rnds 1 - 22 (Merged threads)

Honey... can't keep missing regulation set shots after hard running efforts.

He has some tools but he just hasn't put them on display in a meaningful way. He is good in theory only to this point in his career, just doesn't impact games with the little ball he does find.

Today's not the day for his skills in the way we want the wing position to setup: compact game on a slower track and the intensity level is too high to find space... at least until the last 5 minutes.

Honey got to kick this.
Kemp, Williamson and Ramsey team up well from back half.

He misses...

 

[Jimmae]

Is there a metric for teamwork at stoppages? We've been 18th for about 4 years.

Thanks Barker!

 

[Mondyboy]

Well, this game is a complete bust.

Does Ramsay get a game next week for at least looking interested?

No. Has been poor by foot.

Solid reminder of how much of football is about trainig up tactics and instilling self-belief.

 

[footyfan1978]

The way Billy Murphy just waltzed through then just another example of we got no defensive coaching of note at Carlton with our current coaching group.

 

[mickelboy182]

This Ants team has been smacked every week, and they're carrying a few that are horribly out of shape... Some good fuel for the review to look at when they begin tomorrow...

 

[Jimmae]

Cottrell did so many dumb things in that passage of play, culminating in getting pinged because of the way he tried to play for the free.

No. Has been poor by foot.

Not that poor. He looks well above the standard here, as do Cottrell, Boyd, O'Brien, Crocker, Williamson, North, Stoddart, Kemp, Honey, Radovanovic. and Carroll.

Not enough to warrant an AFL selection in most cases, but they don't have a lot of mates out there today to drive things towards a winning brand of football (along with the coaches).

You know our fitness program is absolute shite when the Country team is knocking off your reserves by 40+ and they have more players at the contest all day. Jack Russell has to go.

 

[RedFury]

People need to realise how bad this is.

This NB side has not lost by less than 28 points this season - and that was to Frankston who are barely vfl standard themselves.

Their losses include a 160 point slaughter.

They are the rabble of the vfl.

They are beating us by 42 points.

Atrocious.

pronunciation of goetz - Google Search

They're right. If it's a traditional pronunciation.

Since when have commentators cared about traditional pronunciations. De Goey is pronounced De Hoy

 

[MissBlueBagger93]

Spewing had to leave at 3/4 time to make it to marvel but hoping senior blues can show the same spirit as the ants have, wonderful win

 

[Ruckus]

This shaped as a significant fixture for the Bullants from the moment of their 'return', and particularly given how their season has fared so far, this is a terrific result for them. Just simply wanted it more than the Carlton players today, I think.

Not many positives for Carlton, however. Learned a little more about some players, both good and bad, I suppose.

 

[Jimmae]

Umpire ****ed up then, O'Brien didn't play on.

 

[Dramoth]

Seems fine to me.

Yeah... must have just been a slight knock that he ran off. The incident looked liked he got slammed into the point post.

 

[Jimmyonesix]

This game shows how much our football department needs a full reset and some type of mission statement on what they expect and how they wish to apply it and achieve it- because this VFL side is reflective of our system it might take a couple of seasons to implement but this is a damning result ..

 

[Gethelred]

The word 'inexcuseable' comes to mind.

 

[Arr0w]

This is their grand final... and can you blame them for being fired up?


That's not how modern football works. Head chef, many cooks and workers.

Jog on please, I've hit my monthly quota of your shallow answers and uno reverse cards as proof positive of your ideaology. Any more of this psuedo-intellectual dribble out of you and it'll just be the block button.

2 separate game plans for each side? Both developed by Barker?

No idea

 

[blue89]

**** YEAH, BULLANTS WON!

Edit: Oh wait, we aren't aligned with them any more.....

 

[Jimmae]

That was dumb then from North just before the siren, not that anyone was running for him.

I'm going to write this very clearly for you, and anyone who reads this out of context: I was referring to the stoppage work, and only the stoppage work.

Do not reply, or you will get blocked.
