VFL Practice Game vs Pies 10am Sat 8th March 2025 @ The Hangar

If Vig comes on as expected, then I’d be looking at selling Bryan off even if he is entrenched in the 22. The benefit of playing two ruckman is both get exposure and increase their value at trade table.

Build around Draper and sell Bryan, play Vigo who is a better forward, and then repeat the process with Gerreyne if needed. Basically sell the guy with higher value and back in the younger guy if there’s enough talent.

SuperCoach strategy 101. :ok_hand:

VFL should be an interesting watch this year. Thanks for the reports everyone. Much appreciated.

Did he have the 38?

Nguyen never really played forward at junior level i saw him from about the age of 16, so wrapped he played well. Also wrapped saad seems to have gotten his zip back.

Thanks for the commentary guys much appreciated, sounds like we have some good young talent coming through so that the VFL will be fun to follow this season. What sort of player is Day-Wicks, sounds like he has some goal sense, is he another smallish forward prospect?

Day-Wicks is just you average 6’3, 18 year old kid- completely normal for a whippa out of year 12.

Love the look of Vigo…from a few glimpses last year, looks a genuine player and a beast to boot.

Surely he gets the nickname Strider??

Make it happen guys

We have some young talent coming through, 2024 was a good draft for us.

Will be good to watch this group develop.

Vigo, SEH, Clarke, Unwin, Johnson, Nguyen, and Day-Wicks all look to have the ability to play senior footy at some stage. Gerryne might be a slower burn.

Hopefully we get a few debuts this year.

Edit: Knew I forgot someone ! Edwards.

Lual might be in Gerrynes category.

The young talent is hopefully going to make it easier to move on those older players the only younger guy I am worried about is Lual has all the physical attributes but hasn’t shown much yet in games

Shiel has been tried lots of times in lots of places. He’s always been excellent in many ways but his kicking has always let down him and the team. There is no reason to suppose that it will be any different this year, whether in defence or somewhere else. The fact is, if he’s in our best 22, then our best 22 is not very good.

He will be in the team, but he shouldn’t be. We should be playing someone who can use the ball better or at least is capable of learning. Shiel is too old a dog to learn new tricks.
