First official game

Is it round 1 vfl today? Don’t think it is

 

[boncer34]

Is it round 1 vfl today? Don’t think it is

No idea. Just guessing what Lore meant

 

[faible]

Looking at the VFL fixture round 1 is next weekend.

That is correct.

Hard to believe he's match fit. Looking forward to seeing how he goes. There's a seniors backline spot available some time later in the year for him hopefully.

For those who know Jayden; is he quick?

[ghostdog]

How deft was that little disruption to the ball carrier!

Rather quick

 

[yodellinhank]

Bring him in

One thing I would like to see is a gradual increase in tackles. By the end of the year he needs to be at 5 or so tackles a game.

 

[yodellinhank]

Played great on the weekend. Will be pushing for senior selection this season.

I doubt he'd have the match fitness for seniors, would he?

Needs to build it up as the season progresses. He has much of what we need. Could be used as sub.

Long way from being ready for an AFL game

It's suss because the last time he was up and about was for Jake Long.

he just needed another 5 years, and he would've come good

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Holy crap he's fast! No wonder as to why his ACLs can't stay in tact.

Marlion Pickett was 27 when he debuted, Jake wasn't given the time he needed.

He put a 4 quarter game together against Williamstown, did the actual, as opposed to the fake-uncle-impersonating-in-name-only, Alwyn Jr.

15 possessions and 3.2 is a great starting point and accurate reflection of a very dangerous attacking small forward's game. He was pretty lethal around the ball while forward, very dynamic in a way that he has not been consistently to this point. There was at least 1 really good finish and one really good score involvement / assist. I think he also hit the post.

Having said that the '0' in the tackles column also properly reflects a non-existent defensive game. I suspect the pressure acts column would be as grim. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and put it down to work rate / lack of general match conditioning. It should not be forgotten that he's not really played competitive footy for 3 years and that he's building a game back from scratch.

Now that he's got the attacking phase under his belt, he needs to be more than just a spitting image of the old man both physically and with ball in hand, he needs to show the defensive intent of Alwyn Sr at his best.

Still, we should be happy with his game. It's the first time we've seen the theory of what he could be (at least as an attacking player) put into practice and it was good. Prettay, prettay good.
