Re: Unofficial practice match thread
Ink ow this is an intra club practice match but I’m struggling to see any positives
Terrible skills, ball movement etc. Paddy (who we consistently hear is one of the best contested marks) can’t clunk them. Clav has him covered.
Parker the only bright spark..??

Re: Unofficial practice match thread
Ball movement has been good for mine.. Paddy should be passing it to himself he's hit a few guys up on the lead but no one seems to be able to hit him lace out.
Parker outstanding

Re: Unofficial practice match thread
Hunter has been excellent as well.
No Billings, Gresham, Steven, Steele, Long, Membrey Webster, Carlisle and Hanners so fair chunk of best 22 out

Re: Unofficial practice match thread
At game and its VFL level at best. But a lot of players Are out and no hard tackles being made.
Skills are still poor for the most part with Kent dropping some sitters
Parker playing like his career depends on it and is a stand out. Should play round one

Re: Unofficial practice match thread
Why do we always bomb into the forward line? I don't understand why the plan isn't for players to kick to forward on a lead. Looks to be literally no forward plan.

Re: Unofficial practice match thread
Roberton and Bruce very good. They will be like new recruits.
Parker very good too. He is up to AFL standard already. Quick, bouncy and desperate. He clearly wants to make it.
Clark very good too. Smooth mover.
Paddy did well too IMO. Looks very fit.
Savage good also. His long kicking will be an asset with the new rule.

Re: Unofficial practice match thread
Agreed Saynta. Battle reads the play very well as a back. Plenty of marks. Might be a master move.saynta wrote: ↑Sat 23 Feb 2019 1:46pmDunstan Seb and Brown all stood out.

Sounds like same old, same old.

Re: Unofficial practice match thread
Positives for me were;
- Battle down back looks a very good move
- Roberton improves our team a lot
- Bruce looked good
- Hunter Clark looks ready to move into midfield
- McCartin has really trimmed down and moved pretty well. Perhaps there is still a chance with him.

Great reporting guys! (And girls?)
Great to hear about Parker tearing it up. Bruce and Robertson both up. Getting excited about Round One! Tgx

Re: Unofficial practice match thread
Not great to be fair. Amazing at getting the ball and taking leads but not the best shot.
I was a bit disappointed with Kent as in the space of a few minutes he dropped multiple sitters.
The team still seemed to fuss around in front of goal, ie someone kick the damn thing at when you are 30 meters out.
I didn't notice battle but ti was hard to see the other side of the ground a lot. I did see a 8 year old Kid walking by me with #26 on his back and thought at least he has one supporter. Then I saw his dad was Nicky Dal so maybe not
