VFL The VFL Thread Part II - [Wildcard Round (7 v 10) Melbourne v North Melbourne, Sunday 27 Aug, 2.45pm, Casey Fields]

[Kangaroos4eva]

North 73-20 at 3QT. Got well on top halfway through the quarter. All the listed players are playing well. Hall BOG in that quarter. Goater a bit quieter (managed minutes), but Perez got busier and used it well (looks quick).

Xerri, 25 hitouts, 5 marks, 6tackles, 10 clearances so far, get him in

I think he'd be close, we clearly want him in the team. Goldy still has the brains but I'm not sure the body is holding up the same now, even CCJ doing not much made us look more dynamic in the ruck and Xerri is a much better centre square ruck.

 

[shintemaster]

Looking like he’ll develop some impressive upper body streangth too..

Yep.

His dad was bloody strong up top for his size too, good genes.

Does he come in for CCJ or Goldy?

I think Goldy might be in strife considering he was subbed out.

 

[DuckYeah]

He’s opted for the pass twice that were gettable goals if he’d gone for it

I’d like to see him have a couple of pings. I know there would be a lot of emphasis on passing and doing the team 1%ers but I want to know if he has it.

Yep me too, would’ve liked to see him wheel around onto his right (wrong) foot in the pocket and have a pop in the 3rd, rather than the handball to Taylor which he then fluffed big-time

Good genes for sure I would imagine also a lot of hard work in the gym. Boomer trained hard and I am sure he has instilled that in Cooper.

I think you're right given Goldy was subbed off yesterday I'd be surprised if he isn't dropped for Xerri next week.

Xerri just keeps winning contests

Would Davis be worth a spot on the rookie list?

Yep. He was a manic trainer, meticulous.

Xerri is absolutely on fire. Best game I've ever seen him play. Hope he can take this into the seniors.

 

[Roosurgence]

I think you will see what Hansen is made of next year with a full preseason under his belt.

Looks like a bloke that hasn’t been conditioned yet.

But he has very clean hands and great vision, so build up that fitness base and I think we have something to work with.

Edwards is not a good footballer

 

[Roosurgence]

Edwards is not a good footballer

He just doesn’t look close.

Do you think they will cut their loses or give him another year to see if he can develop?

His strength is nowhere at the required level to compete at this level.

Its actually so nice to watch a winning Nth team given where the seniors are at. Xerri has been impressive and Cooper can’t be far off his debut.

 

[Harris 10]

Who is playing ruck against Xerri?

 

[Roosurgence]

Commentators saying Hall has good footskills LOL!

 

[Roosurgence]

Who is playing ruck against Xerri?

Nobody, but regardless he has been dominant.

 

[shintemaster]

Harvey is just always where the ball ends up.

 

[Roosurgence]

Harvey going to be hard to ignore him after today.

 

[KangaRooster]

Exciting burst of speed by RHJ, again, hope he turns into a running shot on goal player next year.

Onya Coops, could’ve had 6

Typical north development
Prob went to worst club for his career

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Cooper 5.3, 20 disposals and 3 tackles

 

[Roosurgence]

Where did these VFL umpires come from?

They actually have been competent.
