2nds Northern Blues 2017 Pre-Season Series (Fixture, 1st post)

[Jimmae]

Anyone know anything much about Sam Peet and his future?

You would have got a better answer in the main 2017 thread in this forum, which is that he's re-signed for the development squad this season.

HF/mid. Since day one.

Struggled from day one to find the ball as a HF/mid. Was moved into defence with the hope the ball would find him. It worked for a little while, but ultimately he just doesn't seem to know the right places to get to. He has small bursts where he might get the ball 3-4 times in the space of a few minutes, then disappears for long periods.

 

[The Bighouse]

Phillips & LeBois to have a run on the w/end.

How many CFC listed players can roll out in the VFL, are we limited to 16 or something like that?

I'm struggling to think of any players we have improved in this sense in the last 10 years.

I mean it's late and I'm wiped, but there can't be many.

Port Melbourne look to have recruited well this season should be a good game to open the season proper.

7. Dylan Buckley
Stats vs. Werribee: 12 disposals, 4 hard-ball gets
From the coach: He had some really clear focuses in our back six and showed some good signs of delivering. He’s finding balance between when to attack and defend, but his good stuff was encouraging: he’s trying to build form in areas we’re after.

From that it seems like Gallucci could be the next blue to debut... Love the KJ report.

 

[Blue Baggers]

I've heard nothing to suggest KJ is showing he's ready for selection, or close to it...

Read the J Fraser comments "Brutal in the air"! That's what I want to see from KJ

Yep my post just above yours! Love the report.

I read it as Palmer, with Kerridge a chance.

Ah yeah - by debut I meant first gamer, was ignoring Kerridge and Palmer as they've already debuted, although obviously Palmer would be a new blue.

Ping grimlock (totally ok if you don't, just let us know and we won't bother you in the future).

I think there might be a VFL stats on the Footy Live app (note: not the official AFL or VFL app), at least there was last year. Checking now.

EDIT: got it, but I'm moving over to the correct thread (maybe time to lock this thread?)

Agree.

Pre-season done & dusted a while ago.
