VFL VFL 2023 - [Rnd11 vs * - Sunday June 4 - 1:35pm @NEC Hangar]

[The Nostradamus]

Comben 1 goal, 4 behinds and out of bounds on the full

3 goals today too

McGuiness's Stat's don't really line up with the feedback he routinely cops, what gives there ?

You can be a steady VFL player without having the weapons needed for the next level; unfortunately it's very much a characteristic of our AFL-listed VFL players (Pat Walker, McGuiness, Kryon, Atu, etc)

A lot of kickouts and stat padding. Ultimately, lacks the strength, intensity and competitiveness to succeed at the higher level.

 

[Merlin007]

It was very noticeable today (and not for the first time) the difference in quality between the AFL-listed players Sydney put out in the VFL compared to North. They had some serious quality AFL players who could do a job if called on - Callum Sinclair, Harry Cunningham, Ladhams, Braeden Campbell etc etc - in comparison to our AFL-list - Edwards, Goater and Ford still developing, Comben, TT and Cunners on the way back, and then what? Atu, Pat Walker, McGuiness, Spicer, Hayden. Pretty much the same story when we played Melbourne - chalk and cheese

Mahony and Lazarro have no weapons but they have been gifted games at AFL level.

For those who watched our VFL yesterday - how was Bonar? He had 17 possessions but that doesn't reveal much either way.

Wasn’t great, wasn’t bad. Was outsized on most occasions but he competed relatively well against McLean/Amartey/Ladhams. I thought his disposal going forward was average.

Thanks mate appreciate it. Doesn't sound like he shot the lights out for a return.

Definitely not, but he was supported only by Hore and McGuinness as the other key backs, and it was land of the giants for Sydney. Tough day match-up wise for everyone in the back 6.

I thought he was decent and competed well despite giving up 10cm

Still prefer him over Dawson

Reckon he could be very good, but mother of god, he has zero spatial awareness. Just lacks a little urgency with his disposal and almost always takes 1 to 2 steps too many before he gets rid of it. His disposal is often pressured, almost always needlessly.

I f he can get that part of his game right, he can be a regular. I'm a bit on the fence with him tbh.
