has now been in two more Academy games than he should've been!

Tom Scully has now been in two more Academy games than he should've been!

While Hagan should've only played in 1.

 

[PMBangers]

While Hagan should've only played in 1.

Absolutely, this is the one

 

[Evo47]

Very scrappy game so far

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Feel like the under 18s need to control the ball better when they have it. Only 5 marks for them so far.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

No one that impressive at this time.

 

[PMBangers]

So by my calculations; Ethan Read, Archer Reid, Jake Rogers, Colby McKercher and Connor O'Sullivan spent the entire first quarter off

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Now that is what you call a nice bit of play. Jake Rogers > Tholstrup > H. Reid > Snap and goal

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

McKercher has had an instant impact, speed out of stoppage noticeable.

 

[the big lebowski]

Harley Reid as advertised

 

[weltschmerz]

Harley Reid is quite a good footballer.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Other than Reid and McKercher, not many are standing out. Ball movement is pretty average.

Patton has had a really good second quarter

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Lol was Reid made in a lab or something? Blokes built like Ivan Drago

 

[suburb whispers]

Reid ridiculously good

 

[PMBangers]

McKercher, H. Reid and Patton my standouts so far. Simpson, Cleary, Stevens, Philactides (first quarter), Hardeman and Walters are guys that I've noticed have worked really hard consistently even if not getting a tonne of it/ looking too flashy.

Can we please get Delean and Wilson off the wing and into the forward line, and Lorenz in the guts =)

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

I'm quite surprised at how built Moir is. A real good frame but doesn't look to be an overly powerful type? I haven't seen much of him in general and in a scrappy game hard to show his class which is meant to be his main weapon.

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Reid and McKercher have been the clear standouts. Patton, Cleary, and Delean have shone through at times, and Jake Rogers has looked pretty clean with the ball in hand, especially when he set up that Reid snap from the pocket.

Nah, hide Lorenz so he can slide to right around the Dogs' first pick

Probably nerves. Some of the decisions where to kick have been questionable, even when they found a bit of time (which isn't that often).

 

[PMBangers]

Reid and Watson backline, just stacking it

 

[CountryLad]

Haven’t seen Curtain guessing he’s not playing?

 

[Shai]

Looking forward to it. Hope my 7month old lets me watch it lol.

This has a chance to be pretty close and it’s there for the academies taking if they want the win.

Our magpies side is terribly unbalanced with a tonne of young tall developing rucks and kfs, and all our good young mids bar sinn, whose coming back from the dreaded OP are already in the afl side so it’s not a very good midfield at all.

Also, our best young ruck who has dominated this level for years is sharing the ruck with 2 other guys now as the coaches want to see them so hes not in his best (and really only) position for the majority of the game.

And a lot of watchers outside of Sa may not know this, but port and crows are not allowed to fill out the rest of our reserves teams with sanfl level players, only amateurs bar the 1 “marquee” player (Sutcliffe for us)

Marquee, not Georgiades? Sutcliffe is ordinary.

How many AFL listed players for Port in this game?
