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

[Jimmae]

Fisher playing loose, and wouldn't get this much space with the football at the next level given how he's not really accelerating away from anyone. Big pinch of salt with his stats. Mirkov playing without an opponent.

Dow down on recent form, perhaps with less outside footy available to him, Marchbank surging. O'Brien and Binns industrious. Ronke continuing to build.

Young being swung forward, Jack being swung into defence, alright then. Don't think it works to either of their strengths. Would rather see Jack on-ball.

Jack showing why he's been dropped. Fish looks great (which is something as I'm not a fan).

Jack is not enjoying this

Crocker lol

Not watching but interesting re jack down back and young in forward group…

How is each going?

SOS doing well, competing, but looks disheartened.

Lewis few nice things but no real presence.

We’re such a flat side. You’d think we’re losing from the voice and energy out there.

True, but not much pressure out there. Type of game he should lap up. In fairness is putting in substantially more effort.

Yeh it’s his attitude that is pleasing me the most. Actually looks like he wants to be out there and to compete

 

[SolGoodman]

Plow and Marchy having a field day so far.

 

[Red_man2008]

A couple players that are unlikely to get an afl game in the near future. JSOS, Young, O’Brien and Plowman. They can’t hit a target to save themselves.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

SOS slipped over. Injured.

Red time gets us here too eh

 

[Coona Blues]

Cincotta blooper reel…

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Cincotta only one deserving of a place in the seniors watching this...whoops

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Let a few cheap ones thru right before the siren. Good to see we can do it at both reserves and seniors.

Sos is not doing well. Time and space to deliver and can’t hit shit.

Jeez LOBs kicking and option selection is poor

Needs to take a look at what Stephens is doing for the Swans. That's what should be expected when fit.

A couple players that are unlikely to get an afl game in the near future. JSOS, Young, O’Brien and Plowman. They can’t hit a target to save themselves.

Plowman is done, and really should have been 2 years ago at this club, while O'Brien has knee and ankle niggles right now. Jack likely also struggling with knee issues given 2nd ruck role. Young is just suddenly being thrown up the other end, perhaps in a desperate bid to plan for life after TDK.

On top of that, the slow team around them has a few of these names providing a lot of the defensive overlap run, which wears down the foot skills.

 

[Baggers]

Cincotta

 

[Jimmae]

Sos is not doing well. Time and space to deliver and can’t hit s**t.

He's buying that space with his work rate, and it's creating some execution issues.

 

[JrDr]

Where's Cowan?

 

[Jimmae]

**** me that PA system is a sonic weapon

Where's Cowan?

Rested.

How is each going?

Jack looks like he's moving well, kicking is sometimes good sometimes poor, positioning is ok, decision making hasn't looked good but mostly his marking - it's like he has bricks for hands. Everything just falls out.

has given away 2 50's, 1 for kicking a goal after the whistle was blown and the other for abuse.

He is an absolute plonker that guy. Selfish player with an ego!!!!

Not a captains bootstrap!

I have always found group dynamics absolutely baffling. To any outside observer of our VFL side over the past two years, he’s clearly the most selfish (albeit very capable) player in the side. How does this result in him being appointed captain by the people who have to work with him day in and day out? I just don’t get it.
