[cats_09]

I didn’t watch the whole game but reckon this tweet overstated Teds influence on the game!!

Also, I have no idea who Darren is, but they've blocked me on Twitter

Pretty sure I've never read one of their tweets until 5 minutes ago on this thread

Oh well

Wanted more from Clark today at this level.

He started ok... still not as good as Bruhn/Hardie and then faded as the game went on.

Clark was good but his tank is still an issue. Will be why he misses afl finals but will be good in a couple years.

Bruhn will be straight back in next week.

Hardies papers are clearly stamped if hes not playing over parfitt tonight.

I thought we saw slightly better stanley and i reckon he plays afl next week.

Bews wont play seniors again but hes toiling...moc is just going.
Mullin needs the rest of the year in the 2s and murdoch is delist.

That goal he kicked was sensational.

Hardy did similar, sat 70m out taking far too long looking for accurate lead passes instead of just getting it in as deep as possible.
Kinda felt like we forgot the conditions and scoreboard late.

So many players take a mark then stop 4 m from the man on the mark and end up having a rushed near smothered kick.

Wait until Daz sees it

not me... LOL

GO Catters

I only watched about 10 mins and it was in the last quarter, Furphy really impressed me in that 10 mins, won the taps on far side and then the ball was in our 50 and he showed a bit of toe for a big fella. After a big preseason I can really see him making a massive jump next year.

Got it in one.

We are running out of promotable players in the VFL, especially midfield types. Parfitt has had enough chances, Clark has no engine. Knevitt was terrible against the Dogs and just doesn't seem ready yet. Surely Hardie is best of the rest. Bruhn obviously goes back into the AFL next weekend. I think Parfitt and Knevitt go out. Clohesy gets another chance. Maybe that's it because Neale will come back in.

I haven't watched much the last few weeks. But Furphy, is there a chance hey can be a Key Forward?

No

 

[Cataholic]

No

So any suggestion that Furphy can become an AFL footballer is....well, a furphy?

That wasn't the question though.

Well he is a Cat B rookie and started later then pretty much everyone

 

[Cataholic]

No it wasn't, but I've noticed little positivity about him making it, so I kind of extended the question, out of curiosity.

A little word play.....with some genuine curiosity

I think he’s looked really good, unlike most Cat Bs he can actually do the basics. Needs a tank.

agreed... he's got potential and needs time and ruck fitness

GO Catters

 

[bulletproof]

It is crazy how much people expect of these category B rookies early on.

In the scheme of the total football pyramid they are jumping in at a very high level for inexperienced footballers.

I mean in some ways, these harsh judges are not wrong, they do have to show something almost immediately if they are going to make it.

But I am always impressed how quickly they can play at the level. It is a very tough road for these guys. They have to be pretty exceptional.

It's so annoying that our VFL game starts at 1.05pm just 40 minutes before the afl. Why would both clubs want their VFL teams overlapping with the AFL?

Surely they could've started it at 11 or better yet played it on Sunday so the emergencies could get back from Hobart to play.

All good points. By the way, David Byrne says hi.

So with the VFL draw (we don’t play anyone from here in the top 10) it is likely we get Top 4….if we manage to do the same in AFL when was the last time we were top 4 for both AFL and VFL?
