Thats half time goal kickers.  Can you update please?

Dumb play Brodie

Free kicks 17 to 9 in favour of Coburg - what’s new? Happens every week to Casey.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Nice goal to Sestan who has been quiet.

[Nascent 9,212]

Might be a trick of the camera but Jefferson looks like he's put a bit of weight on in his upper body in particular.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

AMW mark and goal.

I thought he had some lower half bulk too, not skinny though the hips which will be good.

Not sure this has been a positive addition to Grundy's skill levels

Next week will be interesting if the VFL journey continues

[dees189227 12,391]

So to sum up what did Grundy do? Did he kick a goal or do anything positive forward?

[kev martin 9,888]

Thought I could see some development happening for the AFL listed. Jefferson finding good positions, Adams looking stronger, Verrall getting some involvement, Deakin.S playing well, Sestan, though not much involvement is looking fit, running out the game and looks like he has improved his skin folds.

Spargo and Dunstan played well.

Harmes, I wish he wouldn't play himself or others into trouble.

Dursma can take a mark. Edwards looks composed, moves well, gets involved.

Grundy nearly, though for a big paid, player should be dominating at VFL level. Started taking his marks in the 4th.

Watching him closely last few weeks I think he’s going to be someone Special in the future

He has his own way of going about the game and continues to surprise each week as his confidence grows

Agree. Matthew Jefferson on recent showings has something of the 'Basketball Jones' about him. Terrific judgement aerially, an elite kicking action, growing confidence physically, plus some 'magic' when the ball hits the deck.

Postscript; Liked  Deakyn Smith's game too, has a nice mix of silky skills, physicality and is getting his hands on the ball more frequently this season.

Oliver Seston goaaaaaaaaal!

Not a lot. Missed an easy running snap from less than 10m out, made a serious play-on blunder in last that almost was turned over for goal. Think he kicked 1 goal 3 b

[Great Northern Summer 708]

Just give Dunstan a chance for god’s sake. What more does he need to do? He’ll make our side better. It’s not a question of ‘who does he replace’, he should just be in the side.

I saw bits and pieces, like other VFL games, this season. It’s too cluttered and congested for forwards such as Grundy to have any chance of standing out. BBB had this issue too. I’m not sure this plan will help, I think it’s either (a) we keep playing him in the ones in the role he was playing; (b) he learns his ‘forward craft’ in the ones; or (c) we leave him at Casey for the rest of the season unless Gawn goes down.

I didn't watch the whole thing but the one thing he did that I think is realistic for his skillset and physical attributes was where he crashed a pack and roved the crumb, dished it off to a more skilled distributor who laced out a real forward.

I think that's the best we can hope to get from Grundy in the forward line at the moment.

Can someone please elaborate on Duursma - size, position, “plays like…”. 
Thanks

We’ve only played him 1 game. We really should have given him more given time how much we’ve let JVR coast at AFL level.

IMO JVR isn’t being allowed to coast - he certainly is on a learning curve but does contribute well beyond what shows on basic stats sheets. 
 

As an aside, is Jefferson looking like something to look forward to in 2024?   IF he and JVR both develop together could we have a gun tall forward pairing?

Dursmaa is a lot like his brother. Other comparisons are Shaun Burgoyne.
