I hope we are this accurate tonight at Marvel.

McLachlan and Beecken started very well.

Looks like we're kicking with the wind this quarter

I was wondering if the wind was up. We seem to be moving it very forward very easily. But Im only watching on my phone on silent so hard to tell.

 

[M Malice]

Couple of bad pieces of play by Jaxon Prior there, take the first option of the free player, Beecken was screaming for it on the first one.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Wasn't Ethan Hunt in our academy?

He's been so unimpressive all season. Has been given the perfect chance to show what he's capable of and looked very average

 

[M Malice]

Brandon Ryan is so slow, I can not for the life of me see what our recruiters saw in him.... built like Hippy but with no speed whatsoever.

 

[Nunez]

Beecken ooof!

 

[Nathan Barley]

Kiddy, Wilmott, McKenna and Beecken all in the same backline would be exciting

Agree but he's had a handy 1st qtr

 

[HereIGoAgain]

Beecken's height? Plays tall and is good overhead.

 

[Mr Ripper]

No 50 for Ryan?

Beecken looks to have a good bit of speed.

You're right but he's had 3 shots on goal this quarter. He somehow finds a way at this level to get dangerous

1Q time. Lions 6.4.40, Dogs 2.5.17.

Kiks for goal like he is in the seniors

 

[Nunez]

How did Beecken not only fall to the MSD but not be one of the first taken? One quarter only but he looks a serious talent.

 

[M Malice]

We will have so many options re small/mid sized backs on our list, IIRC Luke Beecken was mentioned as also playing wing, hopefully he gets a crack there in the VFL.

This is the other Ethan Hunt who was playing on the GC around the same time.

Plays a bit like Heath Shaw

Given how many HBFs we have now, you'd figure at least one is for the chop, and Prior will probably be one of the casualties, along with Madden. Beecken looks better than either of them have ever done for us in the VFL.

I think Beeckon will be in front of Prior for a call up soon. Beeckon natural run and carry.

His kicking is good too. Even at top speed

 

[Section 5]

Beecken living up to his highlights reel.
Like how he takes the game on too. Got caught once but ended up getting a free even if it was a bit dodgee.

185cm. Some sources say 184.

Was heavily linked to both Adelaide and Hawthorn. I was amazed both passed on him.
