AFL Round 22 Discussion

Re: AFL Round 22 Discussion

Yarran makes simple unforced disposal errors but geez, when he's running with the ball he glides and can kick miraculous goals. Definitely has X-Factor.

Would we seriously have a look at him? Is his defensive game too weak for Macca? I see him as a Jarrad Grant type. Naturally talented, has spent years coasting on the high draft pick tag but needs a teacher type of coach to extract consistency out of him.

Can we please not look at Yarran. He is the opposite of everything McCartney wants, and while that may be a good point of difference I believe that if you can't fulfil the basic requirements of side then we don't want him.

Also I wasn't very impressed by the little bits of Crameri I saw last night (I did only see bits and pieces though).

The guy's only 22. He's still immature and needs to learn AFL careers can't be taken for granted and even the best players have to work their arses off.

Who better to teach that than BMac?

With a little more of a defensive focus he could be an absolute gun.

Re: AFL Round 22 Discussion

Yarran was waving him in to have a go.

I thought it looked as if he was waving for him to get the ball moving.

Either way, sometimes when you've got the field in front of you and it's extremely clear a team mate is in a better position to score you just get the ball to him.

Every time I watch Essendon, either Hurley or crameri are limping, bandages on shoulders, thighs, and what not. Is crameri too injury prone to look at. I know he hasn't missed a huge chunk of games, but both him and Hurley just look fragile every time they fly in the air and land

It's bizzare watching the GWS players swagger onto the ground and swagger off it, despite copping another 100 point belting in between. They all seem to think it's just going to happen and the premierships will roll in, they havn't improved one iota in 2 years. There's a terrible culture around that club.

They remind me of the Australian cricket team, a bunch of arrogant bogans with too much money and nothing to justify any of it.

Nice call.

Yep, great call.

Hopefully the ones with half a brain want out within the next few years and we're in a position to snap up some talent.

Re: AFL Round 22 Discussion

The trouble with GWS is they went with too many young players instead of trying to balance up the team. They had 19 players with less than 50 games. They need to recruit in some players with experience to try and help the younger players on the ground.

Anyone see how Jaksch went? Kicked a goal and took 6 marks on debut.

Re: AFL Round 22 Discussion

Watched a fair bit of the Saints Gold Coast.
Saints have a heavy reliance on their senior players.
Only 17,000 there!! Gold Coast look absolutely stuffed, and I think the end can't come soon enough.

GC had ten senior players out. I noticed Milne will announce his retirement this week.
