Time we joined the second best comp, VFL aka AFL Reserves.

Yeah I think having our own team has actually prevented a lot of player development. Having top up players just doesn’t bring any balance to the team. They’re SO bad this year it’s affecting the type of energy and pressure needs to affect turnovers, delivery into the FWD line is terrible.

lol, Schoenberg being made to do laps up and down the oval by a coach, trying to dodge all the kids kicking the footy with their parents!

It doesn't give you incentive to want to compete with coaches like VB spouting the crap he does.
How about you learn how to coach before running players down.

 

[crows dude]

Glenelg three tall forwards 5 goals 4 goals and 3 goals

Surely we are stunting Walsh’s development by having him in our team, he would have been better staying at WWT. Poor guy won’t get anywhere near the ball . There isn’t one player that’s developed well enough in our own team, time to go back to the old way

The problem with spreading the players out is that our guys play peripheral roles or out of positions.


I guess the latter is moot with Curtin at FB.


The real solution is a proper AFL Reserves comp.

At least WWT have a good development program

With decent coaches.

 

[crows dude]

Now heats gone out of it we are kicking some goals. Burgess now with 3. Dowling now getting a bit up to 22 touches.

 

[crows dude]

We’ve kicked 6 goals in the last.

No point Dowling even trying

 

[aabp1978]

Blight move - but could we drop ROB and rotate Burgess and Gollant in ruck this week? I can't see it being any worse - and makes us far more mobile

 

[crows dude]

Dowling ending up with 26

Dowling ending up with 26

It won't matter.

 

[Mostyn]

Why?

He's had maybe three or four good games. It's not like he's Michael Tuck.

 

[Mostyn]

It won't matter.

He didn't demand a game last year. Has had one good and one mediocre game this year. Now had his second good game.

Hopefully in this week.

 

[BRL121]

Taylor steadily improving through the match to a crescendo in the last. He looks like an AFL player.
He looks noticeably less chunky than I remember him last year.

 

[Pugsley]

Why?

He's had maybe three or four good games. It's not like he's Michael Tuck.

Haven't you heard what VB said?

 

[Pugsley]

A good coach who believes in developing players would play him this week.

 

[Drummond]

It won't matter.

BACK THE BOYS IN!!

 

[Pugsley]

BACK THE BOYS IN!!

Time for a group hug team.

 

[Pugsley]

We are not in the 1980s anymore.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Hopefully in this week.

Certainly there's no purpose whatsoever persevering with a couple currently in the senior team

Anyone know where to find the TOG stat?

I went today and noticed he started the 2nd and 3rd quarters on the bench, and had more time on the pine late in the 3rd. Moved to the other side of the ground and didn't notice the 4th.

I was surprised to see Edwards with only 5 touches. I thought he was involved a bit.

Also, Welsh may as well not be out there. No one looks to him. He'd be better off learning to dominate kids his own age rather than standing around being ignored.

Has he ever played through the middle at all or only ever as a forward? Would love to see him develop another string to his game.

Welsh?

No idea, I assume he's always been a forward. But it would nice if we chucked him at half forward occasionally just to get him around the ball more.
