2018 VFL Rd 16: Northern Blues vs Werribee at Werribee

[blue4life]

Byrne got through OK, surely next week.
Schumaker was very good I'm told and surely we have to look at Fisher for 2019.
Anyway, good to have a win.

Penrith is similar to SPS and Fisher reminds me of Obrien.....just two more light bodies that will be fodder at senior level...too many boys..
We need bigger, stronger, nastier.....

We need players who can execute basic skills if you ask me.

Agree....but we cant add anymore Auskick kids to what we already have....
Players like Dow need mature support themselves not more little bodies they will have to look after....
Hawks brought a newbie called James Worpel into the team and he kicked our ArSe to the tune of 32 possies..now Worpel is 185cm and 85kg and clearly
has a headstart on a kid like OBrien or Polson, its not rocket science we need bigger bodies and no more Auskickers...

In other news, Le Bois lasted 5 minutes and has broken down again with what looked like a hamstring.

How unexpected.  Thanks for your service, good bye.

Some don't rate him but Kerridge adds a fair bit to our team's output - and he always runs out games well....

Agree on the fitness side and prefer him to Mullet, Polson, Shaw.......

Kerridge is no doubt a competitor and one of our better lesser lights but we need better in order to progress, He would be a handy foot soldier in a much more talented/experienced team than us.

Dont agree with needing Kerridge back. He is exactly the player we need to replace if we want to improve not one to bring into a team like ours.

Yes he has the fitness, yes he is a bigger body but he is as unreliable a kick as anyone and this wont improve - he turns its over in the worst spots and hence why crows let him go.  We cant keep going down the same track and expecting a different outcome.

Above everything else our number one area needing major improvement is getting blokes in who are smart footballers and with at least average - good ball when in possession. We have way too many sub standard users.

Need another clean out - Oshea, Kerridge, Graham, Mullet, Shaw, Casboult, Lamb, Garlett and Rowe are all sub standard and im sure I missed some. 

And once the above are added to players that we are unlikely to cut such as Ed Curnow, Jones, Polson, Marchbank, Kennedy etc, it doesn't leave many we have that are AFL standard with ball in hand.
