At the match Sim ATM

Yeah Darcy will be a league destroyer

One of those rare types who have looked that way since their very first AFL game.

Blue 15.7 97

Goal kicking seems a bit better today?

Yep - real Bont-like in that regard. We've got a lot of nice players that looked good in their first handful of games, but the composure and skill Bont and Darcy showed off was something else. The leg issues are a worry but his talent certainly isn't. I'm certain he will be a superstar if he can get a clean run at it.

Appreciate the updates mate.

How is Ed Richards looking and is he playing more of a traditional HB role?

Who has been taking the kickouts?

 

[LittleG]

Can we play:
KPF1 Naughton
KPF2 Darcy
Ruck/FF Lobb
MedF Jamara
SmaF Cody
SmaF JJ

Too slow?

Playing that lock down/ runner role

Blue team is Dale and White is a mixture of Bruce, Crozier and Poulter

Not too slow. Too good.

Need to have Macrae and Bailey Smith forward. And possibly draft Gowers and play him fwd too.

Can't afford to have a high quality fwd line. It doesn't fit in with Bevo's mantra.

 

[VitalDread]

Blue team kicked 17.7
Don't think we will ever see that scoreline again

Thanks again. Have you noticed who is taking kickouts? Interested to see if Ed gets a few.

 

[dretdx]

so dale is the free to roam half back basically by himself?

KPF1 Naughton
KPF2 Darcy

MedF Jamara
SmaF Cody
SmaF JJ

Too slow?

Naughton & JUH are as quick as anyone so the key will be to ensure that they are providing elite defensive pressure as talls. Lobb & Darcy are extremely similar players so if Darcy does play forward, the key will be how to maximize their strengths and ensuring they aren't in each others way. Regardless of how good they are, there's only so many goals and forward entry targets to be had.

Spangher will have to earn his paycheck this season. The tactical substitute means that Bevo might be happy to start with a taller lineup and make a change if it isn't working.

Third gen player might have something to do with it. Father-son doesn't always mean successful, Ayce Cordy comes to mind, but Darcy's grown up immersed in footy.

Macrae and Dale playing as forwards for the last q

116 - 54 would have been better.
