VFL Rd 7: Northern Blues vs Coburg

[jeza]

Jaksch has surely got to be back this week. Surely.

Like always, the stats make interesting reading. I don't know who this Goodwin character is, but he got more taps than Wood as well.

8 possessions to Cunningham was disappointing. But he is a kid and will have off days. His level of fitness?

Silvagni is nowhere near fit enough for senior footy. He runs off exhausted far too often. But with the injury breaks he's had, I'm not surprised. How he will be after a couple of pre-seasons: that I'm looking forward to!

Dick: 11 possessions suggests he is not fit at the moment. He was getting 25+ just a few weeks back with no supports on his leg. I don't know what is wrong, but he is no more fit than I am.

Whiley: 3/4 of his possessions came after half time. I think that says something about his will.

Disappointed in Ballard: I thought he might improve enough to be in rookie contention. But he just can't get the ball consistently.

I'd look to get SOSOS in sooner rather than later. Class like that doesn't grow on trees.

So?

He'll play when ready .

Please do not throw the boy under the bus, lets get him ready for 2018-9 when we can have a decent crack at it (hopefully)

Foster, I read, was extremely impressive. Was very hard and strong in the air and positioned himself very well. Encouraging.

Especially with his old man now firmly ensconced at PP, I'm sure they'll choose the right time to play him.

Sosos isn't far off.

What he does, he does really well.

We are running out of fit willing and able bodies and if you toss up between Everitt or Walker giving you not much, then it's very easy to play a kid who'll give you not much, and will gain more from it.

Nah, he doesnt have the size yet for the position he will play.

What is the urgency with Sivagni!?!?  We recruited a set of top up players to buy us time and keep us competitive while our Classes of 2016/17/18 all mature and prepare for senior football. We're not challenging in 2016, we're developing.
