Sandy vs GC

Missed most of the game but switched on in the last quarter.

Sharman just kicked a similar one to last week late in the last to put the scores level 82-82
Exciting finish!

Final scores Sandy 12.10.82 - GC 11.16.82

Good comeback from Sandy to kick the last 4 goals of the game and almost pinch it

Robbed!

Byrnes took a mark at 50m and ran over the boundary to complete it. He ran back inside following the same path to launch it to the goal square and the umpire said he played on from outside the boundary.

I missed the game, but Phillipou's stats don't look half bad. Can anyone who watched it tell me how he actually went?

Sandy didn’t deserve to win it, we’re outplayed in general play for the majority of the game. Sandy were better contested but as it got on the outside GC moved the ball far better.

A HB from GC racked them up (had 42) and was dominating and their midfield spread was better

Sandy relied on individuals will the footy at the source

Tom Campbell played one of the great VFL games to be BOG
29 possessions 12 clearances 7 tackles 30 hit outs

Zak Jones played 3 quarters on the wing then went into the middle in the last quarter and had 13 possessions and a number of clearances
It was he and Campbell who got them back in it

Sharman - typical VFL game. Dangerous forward, great hands and took some impressive contested marks and kicked a brilliant goal from the boundary to tie the scores!

Hugo - 3 quarters in the middle for not a huge impact, then went forward in the last and kicked 2

Collard
Couple of goals, his second was outstanding

Hall - played as a sixth
Didn’t do much 11 possessions

Phillipou - good first quarter (had 8) just ok after that.

Crouch - busy
Lots of contested ball, but lowered his colours to Tsitis who had 42.

Paton - Solid

O’Connell did a few nice things but didn’t get much of it

Allison played back - was OK

Hotton - did very little

Phillipou

Had 8 in the first quarter and 4 in each quarter after that.

Played as an inside mid, got a few clearances with handballs out of congestion

To a nice contested mark from a kick in.

Overall - 5/10 game - nothing to write home about

Hugo looked sore to me in the last, hobbling a bit and I think knee strapped, playing deep forward for the last. Still kicked a pretty nice goal

Agree he is like a statue when he wins the ball in contested situations. Until instinctive movement becomes natural he is never going to be a very damaging midfielder.

Yeah, Byrnes got pretty busy on the wing

He’s a pretty good runner with scrappy skills

According to the official stats, Phillipou also laid 9 tackles which, if he was playing inside mid, surely counts for something.

Clearance tackles are a dime a dozen

Ruck taps it down

Opponent gets hands on it and you wrap them up - they are important but nothing like a run down tackle

Once again, no system. Drew the game in spite of themselves.

Tom Campbell is a star at VFL level.

Phillipou looked slow again. I can't work out if it's a genuine lack of leg speed or just a poor reaction time. Can't see him getting back into the AFL team soon.

Byrnes was just okay. Good last quarter

Jones likes to go solo. Rarely brings others into the game. When he's good he's good. When he's bad he's horrid. Was reasonable and as mentioned, a big last quarter

Garcia showed bits and pieces. He's the type who just drives himself to every contest. If he doesn't make it, it won't be because of a lack of effort.

Collard is highly skilled and extremely quick. Pity he's playing in a team that has atrocious ball movement. When he gets it he's a class above the others

Crouch is still sore

If there was ever a player who doesn't look like a midfielder, it's Pou. Needs to be in the forward 50

What's the knock on Campbell at senior level? No tank? No foot skills? Would have thought by now he could have been tested as a contest tap ruck who follow opposition #1 around the ground freeing up Marshall to float across the f50 arc (dropping Caminetti or Members). Ross mustn't value tappers.

Played one game… looked pretty good to me

I’d love to have seen him have a crack. He’s got a real… play like there’s no tomorrow desperation about now

He’s a beast at VFL level and just man handles opposition

Doesn’t have that size advantage at AFL level

And is actually a D Grade AFL player

No. Not at all.
However not sure why he isn't used similar to Mason Wood last week. Would be a very hard match up.

There is a massive gap between AFL and VFL.
The inside mids are very good at reading where the ball is going. It is why rucks are under valued. How often are taps lopsided and clearances equally so the other way.
Hit outs to advantage are very low percentage of ruck contests at AFL level.
