Bring back the Gys

Posted

For those who watched - Did Gysberts run the game out well?

Probably won't matter. Our midfield is just on fire this year, which is why he has been struggling to break into our side. He was only listed as 2nd best on ground, so I think we will have to wait another 3-4 weeks where he gets BOG in at least 2-3, before he can get a crack in the juggernaut that is the MFC midfield.

Would probably be about time for Gys to get a game. I understand the idea of making him earn it but he has been a regular in the bests for Casey and has plenty of talent in him.

It's not like our seniors are doing great things.

Gysberts was OK, but we need outside class and run, which he doesn't bring. By all means give him a game, but don't expect it to make much difference. Evans spread and pace would probably benefit the team more.

That's not the Melbourne Tynan, it's his brother who plays for Casey.

Totally correct, but this Tynan would be a great pickup next year.

Did Evans play today? How did he go? Probably one of the more interesting players to have lined up today, most of the rest (from the named lineup) are very ho-hum.

Maybe a player that can get first dibs on the ball could feed it out to an outside runner?

He was good. As was Gys. And Fitz was ok. Morton = good stats but seemed soft at times.

Mortons time is up, simple.

Humbug. He almost single-handedly stopped the route against Port Melbourne in the second quarter. Really stood up and did the hard things when he was needed. He is inconsistent, but I think there is too much upside to write him off just yet. I like to think that it will click for him sooner or later.

hey its VFL, how many years do you want to give him. Im sure he tries, but he should be playing every game for Melbourne and playing well, but he aint.

I live in a bubble of eternal optimism. I look at guys like Tuck over at Richmond and see that sometimes a player takes longer than people expect to hit his stride at the top level. I think that Morton could do that.

Thanks KC and others even the day after its a good read

Maybe Couch Gysberts and Morton are developing something as a unit down there at CAsey that could be valuable going forward.

Do Couch and Gysbert do the heavy lifting and provide Morton the outside player with some ball?

Could that be the sort of thing that a coach can do by using the attributes of different types to get the best out of them.

Maybe rather than promoting one at a time we need to expose a combination

I'll have what he's having.

It must be nice to wake up every day and think rosy thoughts all day long.

Mortein is gone.

You are spot on chief.

After a quiet first quarter Evans was really good. He's got the sort of energy and run that's presently missing from the senior team. Although a couple of times I thought he needed to go in harder.

Unlike a few on here I thought Morton had a decent game and he put his body on the line a few times. Like others I've run out of patience, but he was OK yesterday. It's terribly disappointing seeing a pick 4 running around for Casey in his 5th year.

Aint that the truth!! Kinda the story of the MFC...!!

Not true. Despite the recent job losses at their Syd factory, they are still the market leaders in household insecticide.

Boom tish.

Did i see jack viney named in the bests for the development league? Or did I imagine it

Look again. There was a Viney mentioned but he plays for Frankston and is probably no relation.

Watched the game on replay last night (recorded it). Gysberts is a YES, in next week. Morton is 50/50. Played well but not enough to outweigh the lack of physical intensity at the contest for AFL.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
