VFL Rd 16 v BoxHill

For those at the match, is Markov playing like one of our usual smalls, or is he playing more as a fast lead-up forward?
Hard to be sighted when Caddy was pulled at 3/4 time, both he and Kmac who didn't play with short 5 day turn around if he had of played are potential recalls along with Nank.
Having said that Naish was brilliant today, (i would happily give Naish a 2 year extension in what i am seeing).
CCJ moving really well around the ground, had the crowd gasping as he got higher than i thought possible for the big man, unfortunately didn't take mark.
Eggs very good and clean mopped up countless times.
Leggo got the space and led, marked and kicked well for his 4:1.
Menadue a really good game and 2 goals
Balta ok
Pretty good across the board from our AFL listed boys to be honest.

yeah, watching on the stream you have no idea who's on the bench or not Caesar, hence I said he was not sighted
. What did you think of Caddy's game? I didn't watch the whole thing but didn't notice him much.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Markov's playing more like Castagna, leading out or fly-ing for marks. Insurance. Different to Butler, but probably just as capable as him in that role if Rioli went down.
Butler annoys me. Twice when I was watching he went bouncing through the middle only to stuff up a beautiful entry - too much like my early dating attempts and I don't want to relive that at the footy.
Spudler seems to run into tackles but not be able to absorb it and get a handball out.

Pretty solid without shooting the lights out.
Frustrating. He can look a million dollars but then does dumb stuff like this.
Thanks Caesar. I just don't see a compelling case to replace any of our forwards or mids with him right now. Of course, Dimma and the gang might have another cunning plan.

Went along today.
Oleg, Naish and Egg were best. Menadue also good. All 4 these guys look a class above VFL IMO.
Towner good in the first half.
Collier-Dawkins played alot in the midfield. Did ok without really stamping himself on the game.
Nank and Caddy seemed to be rested in the last. Caddy decent.
Butler a bit of a shambles. Would be nice if we can get a trade for him.
Miller invisible. Garthwaite good.

12 tackles for RCD? I like that.
I reckon Egg was very stiff to get dropped for Baker. I hope he comes back into the seniors.

Thanks guys for all the comments on VFL matches a number of us are unable to get to or even stream. We all have our favourite players as can be seen by some contrary remarks but I get the overall drift that we have some serious players in VFL right now with a number knocking on the AFL door waiting for an opening to prove themselves. Even more pleasing is the youngsters leading the way.
Cadds swapped between wing & ruck rover, was OK, didn't see muck of Dimma's "different role"
Lego played as a traditional lead up FF
Dekka was very composed & looked too good for the level
We have a ripper in CJ , played against Ceglar & Pittonet & occasional Roughead & was V good
Patty Naish, WOW BOG, class personified
Noah started brilliantly & held his own playing as deepest defender in the absence of Hugh Beasley
Geezer was OK as was Gong
Toby was exceptional in the 1/2 he played

With the likliehood of players like Ross, Pickett, Ballard, Beasley as well as the possibility of a Short or Baker coming into this side for the finals, the VFL lads are going to take some beating
Really like Naish and Eggs game, liked the signs from CJ, Balta an RCD and thought it was English’s best game, was a bit messy, however certainly throws himself in there.

Played mostly full back. Did ok. Will be better for the run.
Hes much better forward or wing IMO.

Balta looked best when able to stream out of defence. Not sure from the video how he was as a defender. Strange that he started forward in the last given they’re trying to teach him the defensive structures.
Egg and Naish were well above the level but as we’ve seen the next step up has been a bridge too far for our depth players in recent years.

Oleg is an interesting case. Can he mimic the Hawk Gunston as a fast nimble marking target? And prove a difficult matchup for backmen like Howe at the pies or Henry / Stewart at the cats.
In the AFL matches he hasnt shown guile or forward craft, so its a steep learning curve.
Do we lose too much in pressure/tackling?
We already struggle to include Caddy, so I cant see it this year. But an interesting experiment

I don’t see how Caddy gets in? High HF doubling back maybe. But what happens with Chol then? Interesting times.
