AFLW 2024 - Round 2 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Serong is more ready than Dear for senior footy. The calls for him to play VFL were not based on his talent. I have seen Dear all pre season long and at VFL. I even mentioned that he would surprise a few at VFL level before the season started. His rise to play Afl was on the back of injuries. I look forward to watching him play football be it AFL or VFL. Exciting player who needs time to developSimilar to Dear, I think it's evident to those of us who watch Box Hill closely, we've got one here.
He's putting in some good performances.VFL - Round 11
26 disposals - 10 marks - 10 rebound 50s
Could just about argue that he's banging the door down in the VFL.
If we land Battle is he worth more in a trade than DGB?
Do we extend him considering he's, at worst, very reliable depth?
Still young enough to develop further at AFL level and I'm sure we and other clubs would be aware of that.
If Sicily doesn't get up, can he come in for Mitchell?VFL - Round 15
27 disposals - 7 marks - 4 tackles - 13 rebound 50s
He has to play soon.
Should have been in last week. Poor strategy I reckon.If Sicily doesn't get up, can he come in for Mitchell?
Yeh I thought that he did look a bit pannicky when he got his chance but deserved a couple of more games to see if could adapt to the higher level. Sometimes they just need a decent stint to see if they are up to it. I do recall David Mirra getting a really good run at the highest level which ultimately proved that he just wasn't quite good enough at the highest level. Serong is a lot younger than Mirra was when he got is chance so hopefully has a higher upsideHonestly, I thought he was going OK when he was dropped. Did a lot of things right. Sometimes I wonder if we don't already have the Battle and Smith types that the club is chasing already on the list. Just need a tiny bit of patience.
He was. And I reckon he is a better player now. Ultra consistent in the VFL. Refining his craft and developing nicely.Honestly, I thought he was going OK when he was dropped.

1000%. Put them both in a draft together today (considering only the last three years - which I think is a fair timeframe) and no one is selecting DGB.He's the kind of player I just find a spot on the list for.
Has gotten better every single season, and even within seasons.
I'll take him over DGB if I'm making the choice, field position notwithstanding.
