Classic Ned moment.

720 not paid there.

2 goals for the day!

 

[BACCS]

Toby Murray has a lot of impress traits for a guy his size. Fairly quick, good contested mark and neat kicking skills.

 

[BunjiMC]

Not much really, he's had a bad game. Some games are like that. If it becomes a pattern you worry about it.

It's been his whole career. He is a bust.

 

[crows dude]

Our midfield (Norwood) has 100 touches between the four of them

beautiful kick by Welsh

Agree, concerned he's got a bit of the Himmelbergs in that he seems great at getting two hands to the ball in a contested situation but doesn't seem to hang on to a huge amount of them.

He's almost at the Himmelberg level at the moment and Berg has had like 8 years in the system.

 

[BACCS]

I know Matt Ling was talked about heavily for the mid season draft and missed due to suspension, but surely he’s on an AFL list again next year? I would hope we are exploring him for at least the rookie draft, if not a late pick in the main draft. Classy left footer and knows how to find plenty of the ball.

 

[bmac84]

He had a ridiculously bad attitude. He thinks he's far too good for the SANFL and just doesn't try.

Not sure where or how he got that attitude because he was a a fat boy coming into the AFL and could not out run an ice cream truck.

Haven’t noticed that tbh and Himmelberg’s contested marking has been good the last couple of years. Can take these big guys a bit longer.

Who's that injured?

 

[Bearded Clam]

Who's that injured?

Curtin.. winded

 

[BACCS]

Schoenberg has come back fitter than ever and genuinely dominated some sanfl games this year after a very serious injury. Having a poor day, but calling him ‘fatty’ when he would obliterate any average Joe in a 3km time trial is a bit rich.

 

[jo172]

Welsh reminds me a bit of Tex at this age.

 

[Carmo]

Contrast the last two long kicks forward from Welsh (hoofing it) vs McHenry trying short spot ups that turnover and they can kick into the forward 50 since we haven't carried it far away

 

[BACCS]

Curtin showed some genuinely good tackling ability these two games in the midfield. When he tackles they stay tackled and aren’t able to get arms free, should get him plenty of HTB decisions his way over time.

Welsh with a good 2nd half too, his speed is going to be his point of difference at AFL level.

He’s way quicker than Tex though, Tex never had this type of burst speed

I'm not sure Welsh playing for our twos has been best for his development.
He would probably be getting a better look at the Eagles with their delivery.

Why give him false hope for his AFL career?

Our AFL delivery is just as bad.

 

[BACCS]

One more game of Curtin playing midfield in the sanfl and unleash him at AO against the Hawks in 2 weeks, then leave him there rest of the season

Tex is just a high IQ forward. Knew where to run, how to get free of his man etc.
A year of Tex teaching Welsh that stuff would be invaluable.

 

[Carmo]

Jones probably our best, or maybe Borlase, Murray next best, I'd have Curtin after that and then Gollant, honorable mention for Ryan but hard day in the backlines.

Curtins best game so far and considering how the team went it was a pretty good effort. That's his first making-a-case for AFL game as far as I'm concerned.

I genuinely don't understand how Curtin was ever made to play so deep in defence for us.

He screams play maker.

If and when Nicks gets the boot, you'd think the first thing any coach will do is get him in the 1st team playing midfield or atleast high half back
