VFL GWS VFL 2024

[Giant Strides]

Seeing some players being signed to Giants for the VFL team in 2024, we'd better start a thread to collect those signings!

Thanks to captainMyCaptain for his eagle eyesight.

 

[Colonial]

Almost zero defence lol it’s been a fun game.

 

[Drummond]

Take the shot Cadman, far out.

A lot of players looking impressive.

 

[Drummond]

Gothard is finding a lot of the ball and finds himself in so many scoring positions, but I’m a little worried about his disposals. He lacks polish. Creative and hard working but I worry about his finishing.

Cadman too good for this level. Peatling and XO dominant. Stone even looks really good, but I know after his poor AFL outings earlier this year, his future at that level is just about done.

Derksen looks great in defence, Fonti with some nice signs.

Leake looks good. Jones so dangerous and his pressure is excellent.

 

[Drummond]

Gothard set shot 48 out, wobbles it to the square. Hmmm. I like so much about his game but his kicking…

I just popped onto make the same comment. Has helicoptered 2 set shots at goal and not made the distance.

One of the reasons that the VFL are back winning is having fringe AFL players back in the midfield. Peatling, XO and lesser extent Wehr make such a difference to the fortunes of the rest of the team.

 

[Drummond]

Cadman kicks his 5th. I really like the look of Leake. Seems so composed, assured by foot. Screams AFL player.

Fonti too, I get the same feeling.

I wish Stone would look this good at AFL level.

 

[Section226]

Love how the commentator at 24 minutes of the last quarter and 21 points down saying Southport is still in with a chance.

Has gone to the Brian Taylor school of commentating.

Nice kick from Wehr on the boundary to seal it.

 

[JC100]

Not sure about Wardius all round game being up to AFL level yet but gee he has some quality with his entries into forward 50. Gryan miers

Good win against a quality VFL outfit.

I saw that as well, but my thoughts are more inclined towards putting it down to fatigue. He's a genuine 2-way runner and he's had a very interrupted season.

 

[Colonial]

 

[GWS Goose]

His disposal is quite clean and effective.

He has been playing well, thought he was very unlucky

Leake looks good. Jones so dangerous and his pressure is excellent.

Early with Gothard they were saying the reverse, only getting 12-15 touches but being very dangerous and classy. Needs to get both going.

 

[Colonial]

Big game in an hour at Blacktown. Need to go hard at the Blues to keep us in the better half of the ladder.
Looking for Brownie to go hard after being dropped. We will miss Peatlings pressure.

Watching.

Already a beautiful forward entry by Leake to Wardius. Who misses.

A lot of outs, Derksen and Gothard out. Not sure why.

Some nice play. Umpiring has been halfhazard.
commentary driving me nuts. "The away team has a minor" what? Didnt know Blacktown was the home of Carlton.

Yep agree.

Poor miss by Gruz, bad kick by Haynes. Also I’ll call out a bit of a heart hearted effort by Leake to take possession/contact.

 

[Colonial]

We over hand pass as much in the VFL as we do in the AFL

 

[Colonial]

Brown has shown nothing to make me want him back in the AFL.
The suspension has really set him back.

Has been invisible except for a few turnovers.

Wehr and Gruz good.

2 touches lowest on ground

Yep

 

[Section226]

Brown has shown nothing to make me want him back in the AFL.
The suspension has really set him back.

Immediately after the high bump that got him suspended, Brown punched the ground and looked genuinely remorseful for what happened.

I don't think he's psychologically got over injuring the other player.

 

[Drummond]

And that’s why XO isn’t an AFL regular. You have to kick those.

 

[Drummond]

In the back?? Truly bewildering decision, especially because it came so late. Like so, so late. Ridiculous stuff.

Wehr is a class above.
