Game Day Intraclub- Roos v Roos Sat Feb 18th -Arden St

[Gasometer]

The backline is going to be interesting this season, McKay, Logue, Corr and McDonald are certainties, but Ziebell, Young, Dawson, Bonar and Drury did a lot of good things.

The only interest I have is not sitting through another 2022 Rd 23 performance down back

Actually there was more. That game whe

Perez and Goater should be our hbf round 1

Goater will be playing next week just had a niggle

 

[RobZombie]

I think Mr Inbetween in defense for yellow had a good showing. A real enforcer out there.

You don’t mess with that guy.

 

[berniemccarthy]

This discussion on open doors to fans is fascinating. My departed dad, a * fan, would talk about Arden St in the early 70s & how North welcomed people to be around the club, unlike other teams at the time. Gladstone bag era.

You should run a poll on how many know what a Gladstone bag is.

few dimmies at half time you reckon?

 

[berniemccarthy]

Sellers has impressed me.

Got good hands. But a shaky kick. Might be a good CHB.

Don't forget Archer aswell.

 

[Mav]

Only got to see the first qtr. What really really really stood out was Stevo pulling out of the very first contest. The guy should not be playing AFL.

 

[Moti]

I agree. Perez and Hall likely to be the running defenders at this stage, although Hall on name alone. Young or Bonar for the "7th" defender role. Having said that at this stage one could easily slot into Corr's spot come round 1 if he doesn't show something soon.

I don’t reckon hall plays round 1 off his limited preseason

It’s Goater and Perez time

B: Perez McKay Corr
HB: McDonald Logue Goater
Bonar or Ziebell off the bench

 

[The acurate one]

Lol whose idea was it to put Sheezel in defence in the first half

al clarkson you may have heard of him.

Frank-ly…

I forgot Perez, he did a few good things as well. It's nice to have options.

 

[Boner Spirit]

As the great VFL commentator Charles Dickens said; it was the best of games it was the worst of games.

Well at least we didn't fall in a Uriah heap

Shouldn't based on his age and history of soft tissue / hamstrings last year after they rushed him.

 

[Istanbul Roo]

How did the ruck contest pan out? Xerri good?

 

[Billy Bob65]

I know he’s VFL listed, but what’s holding Lowson back from being on an afl list from those who who’ve seen more of him than me ?

Quick, neat, strong and can find the footy

Missed his chance. He’s 28 in October.

he won't be as I said a couple of weeks back, al clarko has told him he's not fit enough to play AFL level footy

 

[the big lebowski]

Must say that I thought the standard overall was better than I was expecting. A few heart in mouth moments with Paul Curtis, Comben and McKay looking sore at stages after big contests but all played on.

Powell - wowsers that was good. looks fit and firing and every bit the great prospect from 2021.

LDU - best on for mine, shading Powell

Cunners - can't wait to see him kick more goals this year.

Phillips - good game, got plenty of it, stuck nice tackles including cunners. I would like to see him get more footy on the move though. Seems to get the footy without much momentum. still think aerobically he's a few years off the finished product.

Jy - for much of the game played out of position, then goes into the centre and had a great third qrt I think it was. With our ambiance of centre mids I don't see much point in Curtis or bull being in there. we have enough specialists, let them do their thing.

Comben - continues to build nicely. 3 goals, marks up the ground, a little ruck work. can certainly see us going into round 1 with gold going 90%, Comben the 10%, and maybe CCJ as the sub.

Scott - looked like he was running with more power than previously. hope he continues on from last year.

Sheezel - love his cleanliness with the ball. more so his taking possession today, with kicking a little hit and miss. hopefully his team mates learn to give him the footy when he's running along side them.

Paul Curtis - dominate first half. didn't seem himself after half time.

Bull - good game. am a little concerned how he keeps grabbing at his lower leg.

McKay and Logue are going to be bloody good together.

Sleevo - other than some poor execution in the second half, I thought he was good. found heaps of the footy. ran hard and seemed to play with an increased physicality (relative to his usual self).

Some concerns

Lazzaro - not only did he hardly get near it, his fumbles are just too much. Sheezel's goal came from jazz fumbling a simple handball that Sheezel cleanly ripped out of his grasp.

spicer - just aint going to happen imo

Young - certainly not the game he'd be hoping for after a good 2022. don't think he's starting round 1 based on today.

Rucks - whilst free showed a bit, gold is still clearly no 1. it's concerning that we aren't seeing more from xerri, ccs and Edwards.

kickouts - didn't see much to get excited about

plenty to work with overall. very interested to see how we line up round 1. hopefully we see some good signs next week, as it's been a long time since we have put in a good pre season showing against another club.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Cooper should debut this year

He’s ready

 

[Makeshift Park]

LDU - best on for mine, shading Powell

Wow, I thought he only got out of second gear in a few isolated passages of play. Maybe its just that I was expecting him to give a dominant, explosive performance.

Thanks for the write up.

lazz- yeah not surprised, Spicer not surprised.

CCJ & Xerri- not surprised

Comben- not surprised at all. I think or hope we play Goldy and let Comben be the other ruck. CCJ & Xerri are both a million miles off being decent footballers. Doesn't mean they won't make it, although I doubt very much both will, one would be a pleasant surprise.

Jy- will need to learn to play fwd, he of course will be part of the mid rotations, I've said it for a while, we want to roll good players through the guts.
Unrelenting pressure, wear our opponents down.

Stevo- I'm sort of unsure what I think, he'll need to be on point to get games though.

Agree he was just warming up, but still got a heap of it, and was the best at clearance imo

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Bit surreal that 23 year old LDU can just saunter around in 2nd gear like this is beneath him and still look dominant.

 

[chickenonachain]

Spicer from what I’ve seen of his career will not play a senior game this year and delisted at end of year not up to afl standard
