I have met Jack a few times at functions by the way and I really like him and love his tackling and pressure, Just cant play footy 

 

It blows my mind that you think Jack Viney can't play footy.

We missed him the entire time he was out.

    I suggest you watch him closely in my view a very limited footy player but then we all see things differently

    Dont we?

    I also like Toby and we know Jack has limitations but this is a pretty amazingly bad call. Not only has Jack played many important roles over the journey and has been our physical barometer, but Toby isn't an inside mid at all. I agree he's eye catching when he's there for Casey but there's more to inside midfield work than the odd burst of speed and acceleration.

    The absolute peak possibility here is that Toby follows the Shai Bolton school of development as a small forward who develops over a period of years into a very smart HFF/part time onballer. 

    But he hasn't even cracked the team yet on a regular basis...

    Plus, he can't kick to save himself. I'm so tired of people attributing a high level of skill to Toby seemingly because of his appearance/manner/heritage. He's a shocking shocking field kick and misses more targets than Viney.

    They are completely different players for completely different roles.

    I watch him closely, as I do every player

    I rate Bolton as one of the most gifted footballers would absolutely love him in red & blue - Bedford obviously light years away from that atm

    Can't say I've seen all of Bedford's games but tend to agree his disposal can be hit and miss

    Certainly something there to work on but needs to start showing consistency within games and from week to week

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
