Dee-licious

Back out there

Laurie but hasn’t been in there a lot today. AMW has and JJ of course in week 1. our main drive has been from Tomlinson, Howes and Smith of HB.

The lack of good ball users into the forward 50 Is worrying. Poor Schache and Jefferson. Howes and AMW look brilliant.

Played a lot of mopping of half back and then through the centre when the ball was around the ground. I might have missed him at a centre bounce if he was at them(?). He played really well, but I'm not so sure he would be pushing into the team unless there are injuries or someone really has a terrible, terrible game. There is a lot to work with there, but it wasn't like JJ last week. I thought Tomlinson was probably best on for us. But that is just my opinion.

He looks tall doesn’t he! I thought he’d be a winger, but does he have 3rd tall height? I did my own “research”. Adem is 187 and Noah in photos is taller than his dad. So yes is the answer.

I was hoping #3 was Brown but worried it was Lorenz. My take away so far (watching on and off) is that his tank seems to be much more developed than the other mids and seems to be ready to “hunt” it more than others. I thought Oakleigh’s clearance game suffered when he wasn’t in there. I thought #15 was a top ager (Yze is bottom age). His kicking and vision are afl level and while skinny, he looks like he stands up to the older boys. I also thought you could see he has been in a program (or at least his dad is coaching him). His half forward running is fantastic. Up and down a lot of unrewarded running and doesn’t get sucked into the content. Set up a beautiful goal before half time where he ran into space, lost his man, and instead of blazing for goal he put a pass out in front of Oakleighs key forward who had no choice but to run to the ball as it “Drew” him in. It’s only one half - but if I was picking players I would want to be drafted to Melbourne - they’d be in my top 5 I’ve seen today.

Thanks mate - do you know what numbers they are?

Where did you find the replay? I’ve been looking for it. Thanks!

I thought it was his marking rather than his kicking. But I also haven't seen the points today, so they could just be hard shots.

I Guess this is why JVR went to the ruck.

Plays tomorrow - named on the ball.

How was that a Gawn 3rd goal? I though spargo kicked it into the post?

Everytime i listen to him I love him even more.

A 186cm power forward who looks up to Dustin Martin and Christian Petracca, Sestan had been part of the Oakleigh Chargers NAB League talent program at under-14 and under-15 level. AFL Rookie Draft 2022: All the latest news, every pick and possible pick-ups

Sen? Or fox? Would love to listen.

We talk about third year and fourth year breakouts. So Kozzie (could go AA?), Rivers, and Bowey would be the safest bets? JVR, Chandler, Laurie all would be great for obvious reasons.

We can have 3 Cat B rookies

As a positive - Port have 0 currency next year - so there goes that move for them.

11 games to JVR 18. Yes probably should have cracked the top 10, but it’s 60% more games.

Hutchison might be unpalatable, but he’s made a mint trading on ex afl players getting paid a livable wage to talk trash. it’s genius and I’m sad I didn’t think of it. Some are on contract and some are being paid to be in there. If you’ve got someone on contract and there is no football to cover, why not make them do work rather than sit around. and we all buy into it because fox footy runs headlines on it, so does the sun and then afl.com.au. It’s a brilliant scam.

Been an ok game for his so far. He is on the “other” wing and playing fairly wide. Has run all day and has good acceleration. I don’t think he does much unrewarded running though. He doesn’t strike me as a winger - more an actual midfielder. He loves the dont argue and does take the game on. Good decision maker and yes his kicking might need a bit of work (but the kicking today has been horrid). Absolutely will be drafted, no question there. But is feeling a second rounder. I think that maybe at Oakleigh he’ll be able to show his strengths in and under next year, but this role is not doing him any favours.

Rumour alert: Liam Henry is in melbourne hanging out with Clarry!!!!

Heard the same yesterday as well. Would not have played if it was home and away.

Ran all day and got into good defensive spots. It didn’t go to his wing. Great tank considering he was out for a lot of the season. Didn’t disgrace himself, the ball just didn’t get to him as he kept his width.

Or a trade up with a couple of our thirds for the Dons 22 which is going to be taken up by Davey anyway.
