VFL VFL 2024 - Geelong & the greater league

[Baudolino]

Lol. Playing a defensive role and has personally set up 2 scores already. He's about the only mid showing composure with the ball when he gets it.

You're a generous marker if you're happy with his game thus far.

 

[kickazz]

First option please Brandon!

 

[Footy Smarts]

Finally Stevens, Parfitt and Hardie show some class and we get a goal. All 3 have been horribly disappointing with ball in hand then getting massively out worked going the other way.

 

[Baudolino]

That was the most Parfitt moment ever.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Only Parfitt could have the ball in plenty of space inside 50 and somehow do literally nothing with it.

 

[Footy Smarts]

You're a generous marker if you're happy with his game thus far.

Watch where he's setting up. What do you want him to do? You can't win contests you're not in.

 

[Play it Sam]

Concussion for Rohan he must have got that before he gave one back?
Week to recover, don't write him off, we need all the back ups fit in case of injury touch wood.

 

[Cataholic]

That was the most Parfitt moment ever.

His indecision totally killed a goal.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

He could play well against kids because he was tougher than them, but I never saw anything other than a guy with a dip in him.

Very limited... not many tricks, size, speed, scoring ability, class or as much upside and that was my observations from the get-go with him prior to the draft.

If he wasn't from Geelong I doubt we would have taken him.

I really want him to prove me wrong.

Agreed 100%
Was very underwhelming. Too many got sucked in by the Selwood leadership qualities.

 

[cats_09]

And Hawkins in all likelihood

I was hoping we'd see Tom working up the ground a bit more, get involved as a link player and not just be focused with staying within 70m of goal

General movement he looks ok, but he definitely looks slow when he's had to do a bit of chasing

If all he had to do in the seniors was plonk himself in the goal square & take forward 50 ruck contests, you could try to get away with it, but without perfect delivery I think AFL quality opposition defenders will make him look silly

 

[supahoops]

And Hawkins in all likelihood

True, not giving this game up just yet though.

 

[bulletproof]

Lol. Playing a defensive role and has personally set up 2 scores already. He's about the only mid showing composure with the ball when he gets it.

He has had 4 touches, I know your thing is to try and analyse things, but objectively that is very worrying for an early pick in his second year.

 

[Footy Smarts]

Just getting swamped. Clark left 3-4 on 1 as the only guy trying to pressure their ball movement.

 

[MacStradbroke]

Flark me is there anything you do like in him?

Rohan always looks off when coming back from concussion

And considering its his second concussion in about 6 weeks, I doubt we see him again this year

 

[supahoops]

He wasn’t close to selection before this, 0.001 % chance now.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Jeez Clark is underwhelming.

Yep has been for 2 years 4me

 

[Footy Smarts]

He has had 4 touches, I know your thing is to try and analyse things, but objectively that is very worrying for an early pick in his second year

Sorry this is moronic. He's had about as much chance to win possessions as Hawkins. He's not getting the ball because he's not around the ball and our mids have no composure to get the ball to the outside.

 

[supahoops]

Phoenix showing as much as Hawk for context.

 

[Mad_Hatter]

Great mark but how isn't that 50?
Guy comes from miles away, wraps him up in a tackle well over the mark and doesn't let go...
Anywhere else on the ground and it's the most obvious 50

 

[supahoops]

This is embarrassing for SDK.

I’m more embarrassed for you as a poster tbh

 

[D BRIDGE]

Flark me is there anything you do like in him?

Yes...His hardness and willingness to tackle.

Although he doesn't have the size at the moment to capitalise on those traits.

 

[year of the cat]

Couple of Southport players look handy. Reckon Heron and Woodcock will be looked at as mature aged recruits.

 

[Play it Sam]

He wasn’t close to selection before this, 0.001 % chance now.

I know, I said in case of injury, or someone sheets the bed badly- Prelim or GF.
Could be an emergency, we've seen this before with Rohan, everyone thinks he's gone, and the MC recalls him, only for him to save the day...that is he has the the capacity to save the day. Obviously others are better atm.
Want him fit and don't want players concussed for their own mental health and future.

No need to feel embarrassed for me... Not sure why, but you can feel whatever way you want.
