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

[RHLK]

3 North flying, handballing to stationary team mate....

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Lack of afl players the main difference.

 

[davefromjerra]

Keogh looks better in the ruck than Edwards.

 

[andana]

Grundy to Spargo then back to Grundy.......

 

[hellas_johnny]

I know it's a mismatch of players but this is pathetic. Scoreless that quarter

 

[andana]

3 quarter time

North. 26
Csy. 93

No Dawson, no North

I know it's a mismatch of players but this is pathetic. Scoreless that quarter

Keogh and Edwards on Grundy, and Aiden Bonar on Tom McDonald is a bit further south than a mismatch

 

[Mr north man]

I know it’s a bit of a trip but if your want to see final with us in today is the day.

Good to see Sheezel and Wardlaw handballing with a young supporter a good North crowd here as for the match was always going to be hard against a much stronger AFL listed team

Club did well to sign some former afl. Listed players this year but still needed more talls. Sellers and lienart can't do it themselves

 

[hellas_johnny]

Lol bonar

 

[tazaa]

15 goal loss IMO sadly

F***

 

[Ichiro #51]

Not much to take away from that from an AFL perspective other than:

• Edwards is sadly nowhere near it. Delist.
• Bonar had the worst 25 disposal game I’ve ever seen. He was humiliated.
• Dees will get a good return for Grundy. Still a gun.

I think an overall positive is that in the last couple of years we’ve done well using later picks drafting for AFL traits, even if the junior performances haven’t quite been there. Eddie a prime example. The young listed guys at Casey have obvious talent and get a long apprenticeship. That’s the way forward.

Bump. Disappointing to see no new vfl thread.
38 point win today, does anyone know if there is a way to watch a replay of the game. Also do we start a new vfl thread?

VFL - The North VFL Thread [2024 - NMFC d Northern Bullants in Rd1; Sellers 6 goals/Shiels 37d/Bergman 29d/WiPhi 27d]

Did Comben do enough to justify getting a game next week or is he still a week or two away from getting into the AFL team...

As for the replay, should be one on the afl website tomorrow or Monday.

Ok, so I confess - I couldn't bear the 3rd quarter, so switched over to the VFL stream. From what I saw;

• phillips was workmanlike around the stoppage, but not an absolute standard out
• Wil Dawson was marking it well on what I saw - the commentators were saying in the 1st half he was invisible
• Biggie took some good intercept marks - I hope we persist, as I think his skills and athleticism are attributes, but his game sense is the problem
• Finbar Malley is a funny one - should have had 3 (having taken a mark on the goal line, went to wheel around and pop it through only to have it spoiled - think Nick Reiwoldt in a grand final) and another time was the forward most player, took a mark midfield and turned around and kicked it to no-one. Ditto game sense
• Taylor Goad is..... tall
• Sellars crashed the requisite number of packs, knows forward play, kicks straight
• Hamish Free is getting around the ground pretty well
• Jackson Archer's kicking has improved - out of sight
• For a 21 one year old, Miller Bergman is shaping as a first class quarter back

You can see the 'one club' game plan - run and gun from half back
