That's a pretty good mark

Willis

Thank you

As in Bruce Willis!

Die Hard

 

[CHAWKTS]

That's a pretty good mark

So was that - not paid!

 

[CHAWKTS]

Parf not happy with Hardie then (and quietly let him know). Expected the handball instead of dump kick

 

[cats_09]

I'm liking Ted's enthusiasm and workrate to continually be present

 

[Lana]

This is embarrassing

 

[CHAWKTS]

Jed Padding his stats in last qtr - had 4 to bring him to 15 for the game! (A few being kick outs of course)

He’s great today, big future

Phoenix?

I'm sitting behind that, so was a little hard to tell with all the bodies in the way

 

[CHAWKTS]

Great kick by Stephens to Bruce….but Bruce HAD to give that next one. Poor

 

[CHAWKTS]

Phoenix?

I'm sitting behind that, so was a little hard to tell with all the bodies in the way

I had a perfect view…except of course that I am short sighted so can’t see numbers at any distance!

It was a big Geelong player!

 

[CHAWKTS]

I like Lawson!

 

[Zouz Kitty]

Need to stop the long bombs

Stevens moves well for a big boy. Will be a player.

Not sure they were the best of friends last week when Hardie ignored teammates calling him to block for Parfitt

And wonder if others could potentially be frustrated also

A couple of behinds ago Hardie was the 30m out defender in our forward line, and while looking to make something of a defensive effort, as soon as the cleared the half forward area he was back into jogging mode

As soon as the ball was turned over on the defensive side of the square, he turns and runs goal-ward, calling for a 50m kick over the top

Would have been good to instead see him present towards the ball carrier and be an option for a kick in the centre square, and be involved in a ball movement

He also looks leaner than video clips of him from last year - that may be helping with the way he's moving as we get into the VFL season

 

[Footy Smarts]

Weird game. We dominated midfield but Richmond's mid season draft pickups Blight and Gray at either end were impressive and kept them in it. Still a good win.

 

[MisterMarcus]

Didn't watch it but was following online.

Seems like a weird game - we got out to a solid lead then kind of put the cue in the rack and coasted through the last quarter.

Thought Furphy came into it late. Clohesy, Stevens and Parfitt good. Wouldn’t think anyone outside of those three is in the AFL frame right now. Humphries looked a bit untidy today which, based on other reports, is uncharacteristic.

I only saw the last 1.5 quarters

I like what I've seen of Clohesy the last couple of weeks - would love to see him given a run in the seniors as there seems there's something to work with

Stevens also looks a lively & likely type - that big bodied mid, and he doesn't seem that slow which is nice to see

Parfitt is one I can't fault the workrate and effort of - he isn't the cleanest player with ball in hand, but he rarely walks away from a match with a clean uniform

What I noticed with Humphries in the last quarter was that he was bumped or pushed off it a bit at times. I'm not sure who it was during the week that said the main thing Humphries needs to do to push for a senior debut is put some muscle on and that definitely looked the case at times late today

Humphries came off with an injury early didn't he? May have been hampered?

Don’t know. Only saw the second half. He looked to be moving fine.

Humphries seemed to be spending time forward in the brief bursts I saw?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Agree. I want to like him more. He is a kid so I don’t like being negative. And he no doubt has skills…

But his work rate is so poor and body language not much better.

Maybe just needs time to get it…but

Hes decently skilled but you cant survive on 5 odd touches a game unless you contribute defensively and he doesnt. Not at the level.
