3 things you have learned Rd 14 2019 v Collingwood.

[Danjul]

It's pretty confusing about where Le Young is right now. Playing a bunch of roles at VFL level. Also interesting is whether we see him in our medium to long term plans. With not a lot of games to go at AFEL level this year, if he can't break into the side and not having a contract for next year, I wonder what we are going to do.

Young has had plenty of opportunities to show what he is capable of and now we all know.

He will never be a 20 possessions 50 hitouts ruckman.
He will never be a dashing 30 possessions CHB.

So it is time to give him the flick.

Trying to work out if this post is sarcastic.
He's 20 years old and has played 11 games. Time is on his side.

He's only one month older than Lachie Young who I think has done an amazing job as a wiry, under developed kid to earn a debut. We're excited about his future.

Lewie has real AFL attributes and we aren't exactly flush for tall talent right now. I'd absolutely keep him.

[Insufficient Intent]

Surely being awarded the admired No. 2 Guernsey signifies some recognition/expectation of young talent?

Agree with the positive posts; young Lew has plenty going for him and well worthy of retention and development.

Really?

Others have mentioned it, but are you taking the piss?

1. Being static, even from 15 metres when a teammate is passing to you is begging for an opponent to spoil or mark from behind. It happened a lot. FGS move towards the ball carrier or cause an evil TURNOVER.
2. Its less likely you know what's going on when you're 65yo and you go to footy with old magpie school mate. Less focussed and analytical.
3. Grundy works hard and seriouzly runs to be on end of chain receiver.

1. The umpires still can't get it right when there is an obvious one.



2. Caleb is in AA form, amazing how he reads the play and gets so much of the ball.

3. The Bont needs to be stitched up for the rest of his playing days.

Of course.

I was there for his first game and he got over 20 possessions at CHB. Lots of marks. Very impressive.

Not sure what he has been learning during the last two seasons.

The best CHB’s in the game don’t average 20 possessions so I’m not sure why you’re expecting Young to do so.

1. I've ripped my hair out many times this season but that passage of play leading to Grundy's set shot goal may have topped them all. We just find unique ways to butcher opportunities that no other team is capable of.

2. Lipinski needs to stay in the middle for good. He's slow as treacle but his mind is quick and his hands are quicker.

3. The Naughton hype train has well and truly derailed. IMO, he's not our forward saviour and is better off in defence.

My comment was intended to indicate that Young did it 2 years ago, so with reasonable coaching we should be able to expect him to do it occasionally now.

Out of interest do you go to VFL matches, because if you did you wouldn’t keep banging on about Young. When he shows the right form a does what the coaches expect him to then he will get his chance.

Too true.

Can you give some insight into what that might be? You and I know but a lot of others don’t.

I can only guess like you, but from what I have seen his second efforts are lacking ( as was Schache but he has turned that around), he needs to be more aggressive in the contest and learn to use his body more, plus his decision making skills are not brilliant as he stops and props alot.

As mentioned 100 times, he is only a kid at 20 years old and needs time to mature. Most talls do.
