VFL 2019 Rd 4: Northern Blues vs. Werribee

[capcom]

Gee, so many positives EB

[laj]

Yep.....

Schumacher......ordinary defender and his kicking was poor....wont make it
Goddard.....wont make it, too slow and some of his kicking is poor
Polson...started off ok but faded to black in a hurry.
Williamson...had a few goals kicked on him and lost interest but he does kick the ball well and when it came his way was one of the few
who knew what they were doing with the ball.
Fisher....kicked one good goal but the Werribee mids were all over the NB's and he had no impact.
Macreadie, didnt see much of him and probably needs the run but looks a long way off senior footy.
Ben Silvagni....did nothing down back and looked like he was sponsored by chemist warehouse and didnt want to mess up his hair but was a bit better down forward in the last quarter.....looks lazy.
Kennedy...had a go but had trouble with the opposing mids who were much quicker and equally hard at the ball, wont be playing seniors next week based on today.
Lobbe/Philips, won the hitouts but did nothing around the ground or up forward..
Stocker....looked ok and like Williamson looked like he knew what to do with the ball, maybe needs a yard of pace at senior level as he did caught a couple of times.
Lang...delist.....did nothing.
Fas....looks like its an effort to play  and he should retire.
Kerr...one goal but didnt get near it all day, had the ex Nth listed player Neilson on him and couldnt move him in the contest.
Palmer...two goals but no real impact on the game.
ORourke...dud Hawk reject...
Finbar.....should be back in the TAC comp, looks like a schoolkid out there and his drafting remains a mystery....

Sounds so promising...lol.

Actually Schumacher I like alot last year. Very nearly got into the AFL side on his form. Haven't seen enough this year to tell how he's been going though.

Suppose in Kerr's case if the side is playing $hit th key forward is one of the last to be doing any good.

Thanks for the summary EB, bit of a reality check as i was thinking last week we finally have some depth. Maybe not

Haven't missed too many there EB....lol

Went full of expectation, left at half time because there is nothing worse than watching a team that is playing crap to start off with and then just becomes undisciplined and frustrated due to some exceptionally ordinary umpiring.

Williamson set the afternoon off by giving away a double goal due to undisciplined actions and it went downhill from there. Hard to assess Stocker as he had no support or structure around him. However he just does things that make you think that, in better company, he could do the job....a bit like Williamson when he was given his first chance. Young Finbar and Ben Silvagni are both victims of no development teams and are there purely for experience. Fasolo and Lang are not going to make it but Kennedy, with less attention in the main team, will be ok.

Thanks TC and others - appreciate all the comments from people who watch the game live.

Jim, Just reported as I saw it .....agree on Kerr ..he didnt get any supply and what he did get was just woeful delivery, Palmer in the same boat.
Schumacher is very light and plays in a Jasper Pittard (ex Port, now North) way, doesnt really defend that well but is that rebounder/kicker
who you look to carry and distribute the ball. When you play like you have to hit all your targets and get plenty of ball but he doesnt do either
that well and missed easy targets today just like Pittard did last night.

Found myself nodding the whole time as I read your sharp analysis.

I feel for you, TC. Mrs Baggers and I intended to go (5 hour round trip for us) and decided this morning not to as she wasn't feeling so well.

The umpiring in the first half, first qtr in particular, was worthy of an official complaint by the club... though we didn't help our cause with such undisciplined behaviour.
