VFL VFL Round 22 v Southport @ AIA. Saturday August 19. 12:05pm

[KinderSmock]

Really just don’t see it with Richards. Was an interesting selection to say the least

I can't, either. Every time the ball comes near him, he doesn't find him. He'll be delisted at the end of the season, probably rookied again because it's rare players are cut with a year to go.

 

[stormskye]

Reef and Allan both looking good. Just what we need

 

[KinderSmock]

Been in the system for 2 years and we need the next wave of midfielders ready to push through.

We do, but he's also useful up forward. He'll have to get running over the off-season.

 

[anshell]

The more I watch the VFL, the more I think that Hine needs to go. Some fresh perspective would be good.

I’ve been saying that for years.The fact that we had to recruit five players from other clubs this year to fill gaps in our list just shows what a bad job Hine has been doing in building our list over the years.

 

[TradeDraft]

Josh Eyre has just about written himself a contract for next year.

Then Injured so Typical Collingwood thing to Happen

 

[ThePheonix]

A lot of our picks in recent years though mate have been late speculative picks that rarely make it. Haven’t had access to the top end for some time. It does show. He’s done alright with ginni and mccreery, Harrison looks ok, all late picks. We are and will be paying for the poor trading for a couple more seasons

Trade away our future first round picks didn’t help, I’ve alway wondered whose brilliant idea that was.

Probably more execution than theory. Dees traded a future to get Kossie Pickett

Surely they look at it this year. No developing KP players, lots of average flankers and thin in the midfield

 

[stormskye]

Reef is to good for this lvl

 

[Gaben]

Crossley could deadset be mistaken for Merv Hughes

 

[JOELY]

Umpires trigger happy today.

 

[manicpie]

Carmichael, Reef and Allen, just play them

 

[Gaben]

Did Kreuger just grab for his shoulder....

 

[stormskye]

Kreugs shoulder gone apparently. Fmd

 

[windchimes]

Jeeeez. Hopefully just another stinger and he plays on? Happened before

 

[stormskye]

*… Hopefully just another stinger and he plays on?

Waiting to see, commentators didn’t sound positive

 

[Gaben]

*… Hopefully just another stinger and he plays on?

Looked like it might have popped out to me. It was a pretty innocuous incident. It was the heavily strapped shoulder though, so not a good sign.

 

[Gaben]

McInness is absolutely a cut above this level, he should be playing AFL.

 

[eyeroller]

We've got some blokes here that want to play 1s

 

[danielnajdek]

Umpires starting to get involved in this game.

 

[Gaben]

Steene has the potential to be a good AFL ruck in about 5 years when he has put on 25kgs, lol

 

[frizzle]

Umpires starting to get involved in this game.

They like giving them cheap soft free kicks in front of goal don't they?

I don't even know what that last free kick was for.

 

[frizzle]

I don't even know what that last free kick was for.

That's because there wasn't one. They just pulled it out of thin air.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Liking the games of Macrae, Allan, McInnes and Carmichael.
I would be looking to give Mitchell or Pendles and Sidebottom a spell this week. Bring in one of Macrae, Allan or McInnes or even two of them.
We need a spark from some of the youth on the list.
