Does Kennedy have his mobility back? Since his serious ankle injury he’s been far too slow in the middle but acknowledge that we are desperate for another big body as Setterfield isn't providing the support Cripps desperately needs. 

I’d cut Setterfield and get SOS in the middle and bring in Philp for outside run. I’d also like to find a way to replace Plowman, however it’s not clear who could come in for him? Where is Marchbank at? Could Stocker or Honey do it?

Setterfield was quite good on the inside this week, did a lot of the bullock work against Selwood and Dangerfield in Cripps absence, which stops the opposition getting a breather and swinging momentum. Also allows guys like Murphy, Gibbons, Martin and Ed to stay outside the contest.

Cunningham and Walsh had quiet games, they might be in the gun for players like Kennedy or Owies, but I doubt it after being quiet in a win, but they play in positions that need a reasonable possession count to sustain a spot so who knows.

Can't see many changes if and when we play next, and the good form is only a scratch match, which is a bit Mickey Mouse. They need someone to have a shocker before a change is made.

It’s like we watched totally different games, which is quite strange as I agree with most of your posts

Sadly, Setterfield is not and will never be the bullocking type that we need and you want Ed scrapping and tagging on the inside of the contest and preferably handing off to others to kicking inside fwd 50. If we play next week, I’m fairly sure SOS or Kennedy will take Setterfields role

Cunningham is a real tease.  Good size,  kicks the ball fluently, is a goal kicker and has pace... But only plays five minutes here and there.  What he does is good but he needs to do a lot more and contribute more consistently


Re: Reserves Scratch Match V Geelong - Professer E - 06-22-2020

The highlights on the club site are interesting.  I know it's only a sixteen a side scratch game,  but the flowing, fast down the guts ball movement and skill level from the next batch of running mids is encouraging.

Like the old days of wingless VFA! ;D

What's the chance this 16 a side stuff is no accident? :o

Either we are building some significant depth, or this is all lip service.  Hard to tell if you can't observe for yourself!!

The Cameo King. In a side trying to put 4 qtrs together a bloke with obvious concentration/focus issues can be more of a hindrance than help. I saw one episode against the Pussycats where he did well to gain possession but with so little awareness/comprehension of what was around him, ran straight into trouble when he had time, if he had the awareness, to lay off the aggott to a team mate.

Fisher seems like a proper replacement for Cuningham until he gets his concentration issues, sorted.

Josh Honey seems to be the one for moi. Along with Philp.

Great to read that Kennedy had a great game and used his physicality.

Encouraging to read that once Stocker got into the game he did well and also used his physicality.

Some proper pressure being applied to senior blokes... we like that.
