Collingwood VFL versus AFL Academy team Sat May 21 match thread

[Harry O]

Bianco probably the best in first half. Just cleaner ball handling and execution than the rest
Macrae stuffed around in the warm up pre game - not sure he cares
McMahon giving away a few inches to Scully and co. Good organiser of defence and an elite kick
Chugg. Country footballer
Draper and Murley. Haven’t done much at all
Harrison- good speed and gets to some excellent crumbing spots. Kicking a bit off today
Brown. Bye bye Busting a gut but has the kicking yips

This looks a better draft class (2022) than the last few
A year to hit this draft I reckon

Must be Fire near Ground as hearing same Siren was heard at the Crows Game

Wetering has some talent. Not sure if it’s AFL standard but he leads up at the ball well.

Apparently already won 2 league best and fairests in the Southern League

Reckon McMahon has some AFL tools - quick, tall, footy smart and an excellent kick

Liked the look of Munkara for the Academy. Great athlete, beautiful kick and user of the footy.....

Agreed. Looked very likely live.
Essendon NGA but should get a bid top 40

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Murray looks likely

Thought the big ruckman Roberts and Matt Wetering, looked good.....

I think a fair few clubs would look very closely at him...

I don’t think the Southern League is very strong to be honest.

Best position long term?

Busslinger looks very impressive, good mover and great size. Would love to get a hold of him. From what I saw Lemmey and Scully were pretty quiet and the smaller talls like Jefferson and Cadman were more prominent. Scully looks tall and you'd mistake him for a ruckman with the way he moves. Not sure that's a great thing. Lemmey more of a classic forward. Jefferson looks to have nice hands and would be one to look at. Thyey're all pretty skinny so it was hard for any to really stand out.

I'm surprised you mentioned Bianco. I was at the game and thought he was very ordinary. Had a clear, unpressured pass to one of our guys and kicked it over his head. Just sums him up really.

Number 52 from our VFL side playing half back really put in.
I though McMahon was ok. I thought Draper looked ok.

Just going by the first half really.
