VFL 1st Qualifying Final V Essendon
- Thread starter taztiger4
- Start date
Sensational comeback... a classic nail biter to the end! Nank must be an automatic in if he pulls up non scathed.
Pickett is easily AFL quality if he gets really fit. It's been a massive change for him, fingers crossed he settles in well and gets a great pre-season in. Can seriously play.
Ross is a bulldozer but he had some real sloppy disposal.
CCJ is gonna be a player. Wish he was a couple of inches taller as he's undersized in comparison to the leading ruckman. But has some game.
Choi is worth persisting with. Could all click and be a valuable contributor.
McIntosh, don't know what's happened to him since the first half of this year but he is no chance of returning to the seniors this campaign.
Menadue is just Menadue. Reckon he will get picked up by another club, don't see him getting much of a run with us anytime soon unless Houli retires.
Naish, don't see what everyone sees in him. Lacks intensity. Reminds me of Lennon in that regard.
RCD needs a lot of time.
Turner looks very ordinary.
Weller tries hard, Naish could learn about intensity from him. Lacks polish though.
Butler was back to his poaching best. May yet have a role if a small forward goes down.
Aarts, really like him, talented with upside still. Could play seniors next year.
Garth is a real solid VFL footballer. Awful kicking style but jeez he has a go. Lack of athleticism will prevent him playing a lot of AFL with us.
Moore, pity he couldn't give Garth his athletic ability. Can't see him making it with us.

Huge difference We had a chance to win the test, Essendon had none
Hopefully this pumps the VFL team to win the flag and get over any nerves they showed last season.
As for the flog wearing 22, it's best he heads back to the Antarctic Football League.

Oh, and who could forget Morro. Forgot how hard that guy tries, actually did some pretty important spoiling in that last quarter. Doubt anyone has ever tried harder than him. Well done Morro.
Towner - VFL is really his level, won't get the chance to repeat his Sep heroics with the senior side I think.

Nank is a very very smart footballer who will cause major matchup prob for Lions. He can take a mark for starters.
Nankervis was huge, Aarts and Butler did nothing for three quarters and then they did it all, Steve Morris laid two matchwinning tackles and if his third had hit, they would still be looking for teeth on the turf.
Soldo and Nank will form a very difficult ruck combination next week. Pickett is all class.

Camera position didn't show the ground in its best light. Could hardly see the centre square all day.
Not sure what his role is down there but it's not doing him any favours re getting his spot back.
