Re: VFL 2017 Round 3: Northern Blues vs Coburg at Coburg - LP - 05-02-2017
The Marchbank video reinforces Fraser's game assessment.
Also have a look at the Jones video, this bloke is maturing and he's got great potential.
This is a great situation for BB, selection is about to become a headache for the first time in a decade. All he really needs to do is stay honest and true to his mantra, by rewarding effort when opportunity arises.

Pickett is going from bad to worse - hope it turns around for him soon - he is good enough. Prefer if he plays on the wing like his junior days..he is not so much a forward pocket

That's the kind of headache coaches want!
It seems that Jones has really responded well to being challenged to play roles that he's not used to/familiar with. Perhaps it could save his career. Great story if it does and good intuition by our development coaches.

Yep, some blokes just have to have the contest in front of them, they really struggle when the threat comes from behind, Pickett might be one of them!

He got it right in business....Is the media arm of the AFL with his company Crocmedia, so he has the channels to voice his crape....
Doesnt forget anyone either, if you have crossed Hutchy over the years and Crocmedia are your new bosses
then he wont be taking prisoners..

Tackles.
Daisy 4
Boekhorst 0
Pickett 0
Armfield 0
Both Daisy and Boeky had 30+ touches each and looked to have dominated.
Pickett and Army managed only 25 between them.
You'd have to back Daisy over Boeky for that column alone i think. Most agree Boeky needs to work on his defensive side of the game and it appears there is still more work required.
But Boekhorst is much quicker than Daisy and hasn't got a $350,000 contract extension hanging over his head.

Really agree with this, David. I, too, hope he is rewarded for his form and attitude. Though unlikely to happen, I'd love to see him as SOJs replacement against Rottingwood. Playing as the third tall would give Rottingwood a huge headache.

I'm still to be convinced by Boeky tbh despite his stats. Is capable of producing some nice footy but always looks a little on the flakey side to me. Be interested to see if gets selected and how he goes.

I'm not sure if a replay of VFL is available to watch, but it would be worthwhile watching it. Boekhorst wasn't really winning his own ball but he did well when given the pill by the likes of Thomas, Armfield, Kerridge, Jones and Wilson. He is really benefiting from Jones' increased level of inside contesting, if Boekhorst can find an outside role in the AFL side he might do OK so I wouldn't write him off just yet.
Who knows, he might be able to do a Jones and change his ways!
I'm really buoyed by what I see as an obvious cultural change in our player development and NBs relationship.
