Round 5 VFL - Richmond v Casey

[toothless]

i hope whoever does our vfl Recruiting is helping with our afl side also. Should have taken Clarke's job.

Well done May on the quick long kick. C'mon Tiges we gotta win this.

May does show some promise.

good win

 

[leon]

Great, gutsy win although I was worried we'd be over-run in the end. Gutsy efforts by many players and Morro has got them hanging tough with an undermanned side - Casey had twice the number AFL players 14/7.

And TBF, Kosi took some strong contested marks in Q4, both F50/D50. Street is a fine captain, leads from the front. Cumbo may not be AFL class I have to admit, but he has a real go with pressure and tackles in the F50

10 clearances was huge. We've put a heap into Dow in the midfield at AFL level and he's shown very little. A couple of back to back games like this by the Sonz and we should be giving him a crack at the same spot for 5-6 weeks too to see if he belongs, he can't be any worse than Dow in that role.

Agree, must get Sonz back in the 1sts next week.

neither could your boy Johnson taking McIntosh's role be any worse. He can actually kick.

Except he's not on our list. There is the MSD.

Poor Will Bravo looks like his leg's been amputated.

It's interesting that lack of skills especially by foot has killed us in the firsts, but we have a number of players in the VFL who are excellent by foot. Unfortunately they probably don't (yet) have the size and running power for AFL. But the cupboard is definitely not bare.

Least Sonz can kick thats a start.;

 

[TygerTyger]

Thought that Archie May looked pretty good in the second half (I missed the first half).
Smith, Sonz and Street looking a class above. Sone of that ball movement from hbf was sublime

Got a lot of centre clearances. Really pleasing game by him and great that he just bounced back from being dropped

For those that watched the game how did Coulthard go? I see he kicked 3 goals. Were they gimmes or did he work? Last year when he was at is best he was running up and down the wings and outworking his opposition back. Is he back?

I watched a bit of the broadcast but didn't really sight him. The feed here was horrible it was like watching minecraft afl.

If we draft him, can he go straight on to the LTIL and we get another pick?

 

[Ghost of Punt Road]

Really?

Kaleb Smith too. Every time I see him he screams AFL player.

That's weird. Like even if you see him at the shops, he screams that?

I thought he was ok, but IMO he's not a small forward. As you say he does his best work when moving up and down the wings and he has grass to run into. He's got a beautiful kick on him, but I think playing as a small forward its too congested for him. Looked better when bringing the ball inside 50, but he got at least 1 goal from a great rove of a pack, so shows he has ability to read the ball at the fall of the packs too.
