Game Day Pre season game 1 vs Collingwood - 1st March 2020 @ Norm Minns Oval, Wangaratta

[Waca Jr]

Not reading anything into it, but defence was solid. Baker and Caddy clear standouts for me. Balta is wasted if they are grooming him as a defender. Wing for him

Little tank like the push up king

minus the tatts.

 

[Gold Rocks]

Meh... no one got hurt so all good

Wrong the umpires lips have whistle burns

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Was Charlie held though lel

Grimes says watch my hands...quicker than the umpire's eyes...

 

[Sir_Loin]

Couldn’t be ****ed after half way through 1st quarter - any injuries?

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Several key players out and 35 degree heat so wouldn't be reading too much into it.
Was more interested in the St K-Freo AFLW match TBH.
Saw on the news.
St Kilda player conceded a free and 50-metre penalty right near the end.
Freo player scored a goal to win by one point.
St Kilda player was sobbing like Chris Mayne after the match.

Honestly not as bullish on balta as most of this board doesn’t have a footy brain if he plays down back in the ones will cost us way too many goals

Balta has athleticism and footy smarts but too much ego. Needs to take it seriously and he could be anything.

He's a dumb footballer, sorry.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Also lost a better list a few years ago

Loosed some tears against WCE in the GF too...

 

[Oprah From Tigerland]

Blake Cara$ellout leaving will be our downfall.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Can’t stress how important competent KPF’s are. We probably have 3-4 more goals if someone better than Chol was up forward.

Nank would be perfect...

Thomson Dow will be a player should play pretty early next year

5 disposals 3 contested 1 clearance 2 interceptions and a behind

Looks to have elite hands like shedda and meatball

Dow isn't getting a game any time soon unless injury hits bad. He is down the pecking order in terms of next in line midfielders.

[Gold Rocks]

Thought Cotchin, Edwards, Riewoldt, Martin, Lynch went missing today

They just on holidays until September i think

 

[Gold Rocks]

But Alex Rance was Alex Rance from day one.

I wish Alex comes back mid year to win the cup

 

[Bojangles17]

The best news is we got through without injury
For most part our backline functioned well , a few late cheapies aside we should have kept them to ~70p
Our forward line battled without looking threatening at any point
Baker was outstanding, playing with real premiership confidence
Rossy and Stacky both worked into game nicely
Aartsy showed he could be a senior player and will put pressure on any reg smalls caught snoozin
Thomson Dow looked clever in final Q with his reputed handball a feature
Pickett was solid , showed real intensity at times

Disappointed with CCJ cholly and soldo and rcd , expected more and are a way off seniors on that showing

Treloar bitching about the frees

Treloar bitching to the icepack now for being to cold

Yeah same he's more a Charles or Richardson than a Rance.

 

[Bojangles17]

Balta has athleticism and footy smarts but too much ego. Needs to take it seriously and he could be anything.

Forgot to mention him , was pretty average , Garth looked much better , he had the sit several times and never sized the moment

 

[Gold Rocks]

Treloar you sook,it is not the grand final. Well its pre season so i suppose its your grand final

God you're a meanie
