VFL The North VFL Thread

[Passmore]

This one would have been all time if he could have held on!

A lot to like for us, good to have pressure on spots both ways, so much better than earlier in the year, when you'd watch the AFL and think someone needed a spell in the VFL, but no one remotely pushing for a call up!

Wow the umpiring was something else, all you really want is consistency with interpretations, particularly HTB, but there were so many paid purely on the jumper colour!

I get the commentator is likely a local, but when he affectionately refers to the "Swannies" and describes us in possession in our forward line as the ball being "at half back for the Swans" it gets a bit on the nose!

He certainly won't die wondering..

You can see the impact of us investing heavily in high quality development coaches already hey.

Micky Barlow doing a great job. He was excited by the vision presented to him by Clarko.

Yeah and this is only three quarters of the way through Year Zero for Mick.

Very encouraging signs.

Because he’s been playing as a key defender for weeks….

 

[Better Loosen Up]

RHJ is the exact player we need and if he plays well today, why wouldn’t we give him another chance.

Because he's not up to AFL level and there are other players that should be kept ahead of him.

We have a Co Captain is not up to AFL standard but still gets a game.

And he will probably be gone when his contract is up.

You only have so many list spots. It probably comes down to RHJ vs Coops

You recon he be gone his contract expires next year will given a 1 year deal.

Find it funny how everyone continually bags LMac, he was the one that had to go to Papley to stop him today…and shut him out completely after Dawson failed.

It begs the question as to why Dawson started on Papley in the first place!

It just appears to me to be a strange matchup.

I would've thought that perhaps Archer should've started on him and Dawson on Hayward.

 

[lockheed]

Will be a player, many around here went way too early on him

Now isn't that an absolute surprise

 

[The Warlord]

Hopefully they can increase the soft cap to coincide with our rise up and we have a stream of high quality development to back up our high end talent.

Nah stuff that, just helps fudd teams catch up. Our great skill is doing better than anyone with less than the rest

It's a fact that is overlooked due to 4 previous years of ineptitude.

We are literally 3/4 of a year into the set up that Clarko has engineered. And this is just the start...I'm sure there's further tweaks in store.

H. Free, steadily gotten better after injury early on. He was pretty solid after drafting too. Do we rookie again? Developing mids need a solid ruck, don't think we can guarantee teakle/ccj are fit and playing two's and Goad is at least 20 months away.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

You can see the clear benefits of investing into a strong VFL Program, Young players are getting developed without having to be thrown to the wolves at the beginning of their careers and there is finally pressure being put on spots in the AFL side.

We play 4 sides above us on the way home so i doubt we make it.

I'm ok with that, get the kids back into some strength and conditioning work early so they're ready for 2025.

 

[muttley45]

Their game plan for tight finishes is being played pretty well, good coaching

Got to look forward to 2025 unless something happens can see the following players won’t be at North Taylor ,Sheils ,Lazarro ,Hansen ,Free ,Greenwood ,Sellers with a few Others.
Would be great if we can hold on to Greenwood ,Sheils and Hansen with some delisted AFL,SANFL,WAFL type players as back ups.

Hansen Jr tracking as a keeper imo. Feel for Taylor and Laz would love to keep them and neither are really that far off it, but the list is getting squeezed.
