NAB Cup

Good Summary Al

Would add that Helbig and Cotin showed enough to suggest they could make it in time.

Miller might be a good coach but just didnt look fast enough or  ability to jump last night, the jurys out but he needs to show a bit more if he is to be of any value as a player.

[WilliamPowell]

I thought Nick Westoff struggled big time looked so lost out there. Needs alot more time to develop, we need to be patient

At one point he literally just stood watching the play because he didn't know what to do

[Coach]

He was one of the last blokes taken in a rookie draft...I'm not expecting much.  

Hate Westhoffs. Skinny pricks

[jackstar is back again]

Also, what I seen of Derrickx after one game, he has already passed the big girl in Vickery

derickx is 3 year older
than vickery

Firstly what has age got to do with it ?
vickery in his 3rd year in the system, make or break this year, or will his Dad get him another year in 2012, Oouch !!!

[Coach]

LMFAO

 


Great to have the footy back.

Anyone reading too much into the losses would have to be mad, please. Don't just pick out individuals, wait until we are at full strength before we even contemplate finding out the strugglers for the year. Ty Vickery, he may end up doing a Riewoldt and that will shut a few up. 16 players out of our top 22 including our entire midfield......these games are worthless to me now.

Vickery doing a Riewoldt? Winning a coleman or posing nude with Zac Dawson?

Not too sure about that WAT. DerickX played a better game than any game i have seen Vickery play.

He just looks lost out there and you have to question what influence his old man had on his selection.

The bloke has to start putting his body on the line not backing out as he has shown to do many times.

Browne/DerickX/Gus should be our options against the Blues. If anything Vickery up forward but Coburg is where he should learn what to do

He's contracted until the end of 2012 I believe.

Name all the ruckmen who had breakout years in their 3rd season? It will be a very short list.
Takes a kid of that size to get to 22-23 before he should be expected to be at the required level

He would have to be 4th choice ruckman atm.
Which means he can't play R1 unless something pretty major changes in the next few weeks.

No biggie, hes just nowhere near ready to be playing senior footy.

Davey, I meant getting his act together, with Riewoldt it just klicked last year, a lot of posters on this site were calling him a dud and wanting to get rid of him since he came to the club. He was going through what Vickery is now. Lets just give him time to develop...thats all I was saying.
