VFL Rd 9: Northern Blues vs Frankston at Ikon

[crashlander]

Silvagni kicked 4?

3 in the first quarter, 1 in the last. He was up the field in the middle of the game. He had his statistically most significant game with 21 disposals, almost double his previous best.
I still wouldn't play him in the seniors: his fitness levels are not there yet. But this time he did not die out after half time.

he has OP not moving well at training is what I heard.. he wants to play and want to play him but not moving well I think his year is shot

I'd be getting him ready for next year. He is going to gain nothing by ruining his body. Get rid of the OP and then work towards 2017.

AFL Victoria Development League
Northern Blues  1.0  2.0  7.2  10.7 (67)
Frankston  1.1  5.4  7.7  8.9 (57)

GOALS:
Northern Blues: Corboy 3 Bolger 2 Casley 2 Declase  Hickey  Peet
Frankston: Papadopoulos 3 Soroczynski 2 Thomas 2 Treloar

BEST:
Northern Blues: Declase Brown Roos Stevens Corboy Aurrichio
Frankston: Rosier Papadopoulos Wilson Prior Bastinac Thomas

Good to see Aurrichio named in the best. He has been one of the Forgotten this season. Also good to see Roos get in the best 2 weeks in a row. He was not impressive earlier.

Peter Jackson VFL 2016
Northern Blues  4.2  6.10  8.14  15.15 (105)
Frankston  2.6  4.7  6.11  9.11 (65)

GOALS:
Northern Blues: Silvagni 4 Kerbatieh 2 Jaksch  Jones  Wilson  Wood  Tutt  Totevski Smith  Jones  Whiley
Frankston: Cass 3 Bennett 2 Gardiner  Wilsen  Walmsley  Wood

BEST:
Northern Blues: Whiley Silvagni Tutt Jones Dick Kerbatieh
Frankston: Kempster Sketcher Exon Cass Wilsen Walmsley

DISPOSALS: Whiley 31, Tutt 26, Gowers 22, Kerbatieh 22, Totevski 21, Silvagni 21

If Kerbatieh can keep going like he is going, he is a certainty to be a Carlton listed player in 2017. Gowers is also doing himself no harm: getting his possession level up is exactly what he needed to do.

Hasn't hurt Tom Michell in Sydney to do a genuine apprenticeship.  We don't really need Jack Silvagni up and firing in 2016. We just want him to develop.  250 game players can take their time!

The question, who does he displace?

Andrew walker for mine who is on thin ice. Not sure SOS is up for it yet but this would be a decent game to debut in

We haven't played an very underdeveloped body all year, no reason to start now. Weitering has a rig that looks like it's been in the syetem for two years and Charlie has an enormous frame.

That's why we got Wright and it's why we continue to play Walker . They are giving the rest of the smaller frames time to get ready.

Jacks loads are being managed ATM , if he plays at all this year I'd be surprised.

Agree totally. Patience is the key and there is no reason to take unnecessary chances this year. A team culture is being constructed into which the young bulls can be unleashed  eventually, when they are fully ready and can have maximum impact.

No need to rush any of our youngsters.
