U18 Champs Vic Metro v Vic Country @ Ikon Park

[lionshine]

Half time, competitive match thus far. I love the run and link up play from Lual off half back.

 

[Davo-27]

One of the better games in the champs so far, good competitive game, a few points the difference at half time

The 2024 midfielders looking good and the 2023 forwards and KPP looking good

 

[eaglespremiers]

Archer Reid having a good game presenting. Just needs to convert more. Now got two goals from about 5-6 opportunities.

VM

Jagga Smith having a good 1st half
Josh Smilie also looking good at the level
Caddy and Morris with great leading patterns, also Croft and Watson providing options in a packed forw line
Ollie Murphy dominating the air
Levi Ashcroft looking classy as always

VC

Anastasopoulos with a couple
O'Sullivan is all class, that goal was nice
Duursma looking better as a forw
H Reid trying to get into the game
D.Wilson getting his hands on the footy
Good to see Hynes from Dandenong get a game, tough underager

Archer Reid and Zane Duursma been a little quiet these champs but both showing their worth today.

Lual doing some very, very impressive things in traffic, weaving through off half back and generating attacking play.

Darcy Wilson so classy.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Reid, Wilson and Stevens dominating in the centre this quarter

Country on a rampage in the third quarter - 7 goals in 15 minutes to blow the game open. Country mids and forwards completely on top!

 

[DoggiesC1954]

Duursma showing why he should go top 5.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Vic Metro defenders cant defend one on one, there last 3 games lose too many one on one's
Harley centre clearance work been terrific

Duursma class above in this game
Grant been impressive too

 

[Davo-27]

Duursma showing why he should go top 5.

Finally playing as a forward, his best position.

 

[lionshine]

What a goal from Lual. He is going to be a gun off half back in the AFL

 

[noobermensch]

Duursma's second efforts last week were non existent. This week its been a feature of his play.

 

[noobermensch]

Ryley Sanders is an impressive young man, loved the way he spoke in that interview.

 

[whatwhatsaywhat]

how did kynan brown go?

 

[Mofra]

Damn Lual, settle down son

It wouldn't surprise me of the dogs trade back into the draft after a Croft bid to grab Lual. NGA we won't have access to but he's rated highly by us

Yes, excellent option for a rebounding HBF.

He's a gun. He was on AFL 360 last week. They showed a hurdles race from a year ago he won at nationals that ranked him 5th globally. He will be a weapon off HB with his speed. Most teams are after this kind of speed.
