VFL Richmond V Casey - Sunday 2.10pm

[Charlie Pannam]

Biggie has been the highlight of the game from our kids today imo
MRJ , Sonsie, Clarke and Banks have all had their moments .

Miller has been putrid. If Morris gives him a glowing post match report he’s taking the p1ss

 

[Gratees]

Lefau... missed

 

[tigers12]

VFL team is garbage can’t even kick the easy goals

 

[Gratees]

Not great that its a bye next week

 

[Muddiemoose]

Very young side today in the vfl
Aarts basically the only older body with afl experience
Will be good learning experience for the young cubs
Especially in the middle and basically no forwards

Made the best team in the competition look second rate in the first, then fell away as the game went on

No doubt older heads in Caddy, Parker and even Mansell/RCD would of made a difference

Can’t fault the endeavour

 

[sante]

Didn’t watch it but the stats look decent for Ryan

 

[smurfin]

Sonsie got more involved as the game went on.
Samson looked out on his feet by the end.
Judson Clarke had a good game.
Stack ready for the firsts I think.
MRJ & Banks a bit quiet.

Didn’t watch it but the stats looks decent for Ryan

Tired towards the last gave away a fair few free kicks (some he was definitely pretty stiff to cop)
But looked solid considering he was a solo ruck and only forward target for the game

ffs shemans dont even have a real vfl side and we get done

I dont even know where casey is

 

[Bojangles17]

Samson would be killing it if he could clunk a mark.

Really needs to improve there

 

[Rubber Hips]

we lost by 4 but Casey is undefeated…they are a strong team

we lacked support for Samson in the ruck
We were Short around the back…
we had a few very new kids as back ups

lots to work with…Nyoun, Le Fau my bogs

MRJ, Juddy, Ryan, Stack, Sonsie all ok in parts

Miller has a mare

Healesville apparently

 

[DoItForCaptBlood]

Many more mature bodies and with AFL games for Casey you all realize right?
Melksham, Baker, Daw, McDonald, so not unexpected by the last quarter, they would influence the game.
More game time for some of our younger players and development playing against senior bodies.
Not sure why their is disappointment in Sonsie... 20+ possies again, so tracking nicely.
Ryan & Biggiie battled all day it seems. Result is irrelevant.

YEP. I reckon couldn't mark a beach ball with a 5yo kid as his direct opponent. He's very good in the ruck contests and when the ball is in contest on the ground. I still think he's a long way off considering his opponents today were a punch drunk Daws and a developing 20yo kid. Got the wind knocked out of him in the third when he ran into the goal post and fatigued badly. Still gives away too many free kicks.

Sonsie, Stack and Rioli will all make it after watching todays game and I like the way Felau goes about it and I would pick him up in the mid season draft.
Martyn still continues to disappoint and I would delist him as he's a poor decision maker, takes too long to get rid of the ball and then more often than not his poor disposal kills us.

Had a nightmare with the umps ol Samson

I gather with only 6 possessions Rioli didn't spend any time onball?

not much, but his defensive work was excellent. He's still a year away and I like the way he's developing.

Hid closing speed was amazing today, some astonishing run down tackles v speedsters like Oscar Baker, one other quick player too whose name escapes me. I agree still a little time away from being polished enough for AFL footy but has some superb attributes.

 

[Barnard]

MRJ has really come on this year despite having a quiet one today. My only concern with him is that sometimes he actually waits for the oppo to get the ball so he can tackle. He has the wheels and hardness at the footy to just win it himself, has shown in at times this year tho so hopefully just an off game. I reckon all our draftees from last year look like players. Think it can be a really strong draft for us. Biggie has to play next time we have an injury that permits it. Miller played 1-2 serviceable games but there is just no real upside with him for mine. The days of the dour defender are pretty much gone.

 

[Grrr]

Up until now Stack has not been ready, now it is wasting his talent playing down. VFL is a hard gig. We kicked 2 goals in nearly 3 quarters of footy, so it was an arm wrestle. I think the point has been made. He was good especially early when the game was quicker. One touch, tough and moved fast and smooth.

Waiting for Sonsie to kick into action and he did toward the end of the game. Kid has real talent and class. He stood out against an undefeated side today once he got going.

Reckon Sampson showed a bit. A lack of strength in his arms meant he didn't quite hang on to his marks, but was hitting the ball at its highest point and reading it really well in the air. He needs another season and a bit of help, but he showed a bit today, unlike the umps who continue to make up rucking frees.

Missed Cumberland with his x factor and energy.

Biggy can actually play, just needs to get a bit more intensity all game, but he is a smooth mover and has a good spoiler and a decent kick.

Good opposition so pretty good effort considering we played a lot of VFL players.

Nothing wrong with Daw at VFL level. very imposing in the VFL. Way to strong and experienced for Ryan.
