2019 NEAFL discussion thread

[Mr Magoo]

I'm not convinced about Bell. He has some good moments every game but then goes missing for long periods or has a run of clangers. He needs to get more consistency in his game and start to really dominate over a prolong period. Look at guys like Rose, Fox and Clarke who have pumped out huge numbers yet struggle to make an impact at AFL level. The jump is huge and Bell is still a fair way off.

Agreed. Even in this game , I wasnt convinced by his ball use or choice of options. Has a classy look about him , but looks are often deceiving when not coupled with good decision making and consistency.

Giants look even lighter on for listed players than we are - wasn't expecting that. And yet three of their few listed players are named on the interchange bench - odd!

[Ludwig]

I think F: 44. J Kelly should be J. Buckley for the Giants

[ugg]

No just like us they are running out of jumper numbers for their fill ins. That J.Kelly is Jackson son of Paul who has also played for our NEAFL team in the past

Its almost an u/21 academy game than a NEAFL fixture.

The listed players might be emergencies for the seniors

The listed players might be emergencies for the seniors

Only one of them is a senior emergency - Shipley

[rb4x]

Naismith named as an interchange with the top ups when we have seven top ups starting. Naismith named in the best players last week but was not in my best list. Is he being managed this week or what?

Final teams are in>


Ryley Stoddart is out replaced by Jackson Barling (21) and Daniel Ryall (28)
Aiden Bonar, Jye Caldwell, Connor Idun out replaced by Dylan Addison, Jackson Moen, and Wilson Mudge

Interestingly Bonar and Caldwell are GWS emergencies so I wonder if there are further outs for them.

[rb4x]

If Barling and Ryall are both in we must have another out!

Sam Naismith pulled up sore in the warmup and will not play.
