Port Melbourne v BENDIGO BOMBERS

[Smyth94]

Would be nice to have a decent VFL side to showcase our up and comers instead of trying to find silver linings in losses all the time.

Bendigo is doing an admireable job considering the team that runs out week after week is one of the youngest in the VFL, and generally plays against teams with much more experience across the board.

I think today Bendigo have something like 12 players who have under 20 games of VFL/AFL experience - and most of them haven't played together for any decent periods of time.

This might sound a little left field but from what i have seen of all the draftees to date i reckon Pears is going to be the pick of the bunch

Myers.......

 

[Ricky]

went to the game today!

good to see lloyd there for once lol

hickmott gave the boys a massive spray at 3/4 time

loved the goal i kicked i must say lol.......prob the best goal ive kicked haha even i was shocked

sad about johnsy...this kid has potential but can only run in a straight line because of his hip..

can we promote a rookie or not because id love to see magin in the seniors thought his ball work was good today.

and we MUST pick up Skipworth next year his hardness at the ball was exceptional. set up the goal for buddha in the 3rd term.

buddha was pretty good as well in his first game back....

campo is very lucky to have a missus like that she is a dime. (sorry campo if ur reading lol)

anyone else head to the game today

no one has told me what IMO means either

Poor statement about Lloyd. He attends Bendigo games when he can. He was at Coburg last month when we played them. I have only been to 5 Bendigo games this year and i have seen Lloyd at three of them (not including today becasue i was at Caesy watching under 18"s)

You may be right.

Humble, Honest............whatever works for you

If Dyson plays seniors this week I will be bitterly disappointed. Did nothing but stuff around and handball at peoples feet, lost count at the amount of times he squibbed a contest (first qtr especially).

I dont think we will ever know what Cjs full potential could have been if this is thie end of him.
He cops alot of sprays but that is mainly because of the expectations on him because of Sheeds he is only 23 has only played 21 games if not for this injury who knows what he could have done hopefully this is not the end, i would rather see Lee delisted tha Johnsy

I think the exact opposite...

Who would you rather:

Johns.... Has been known to be very S__t at (Crucial) times in many games. He doesn't have 1 real spot on the field that he's really good at. He's had hip injuries, Hamstring Injuries and now has a Knee injury added onto his list... Unless he pleads his case well enough to knighta at the end of this year, then I dont see him been at the bombers next year... Well at least not the seniors.

Lee.... Hasn't been given many chances at all under Sheedy (only a few senior games). Can play back, forward, as a utility on the Wing, pretty much anywhere... His only real injury worry would be his shoulder, which left him out for this half of the season, but still its not as big as CJ's.

I guess tomorrows tests on CJ will define his future... If its season ending (as predicted) then it would have to pretty much be, bye bye Courtney.

How many freakin chances caan a guy have? We HAVE seen his potential, and if you think he will deliver any more or better, you are delusional.

Lee has no more upside than Johns. The fact that Lee has not had many games for Bendigo where you could walk away and say yes he really made a difference in this game says it all. He has done stuff all when he has been able to get on the park.

VFL makes no difference at all...

If you actually watch VFL, its like watching U12's footy.

Nearly every AFL Listed player who plays in the 2's will only put in 50%.

Mal Michael got 5-6 goals kicked on him yesterday.
Jay Neagle, before he got selected for seniors, kicked 0 the week before in the VFL.
Jason Johnson, yeah he gets a hell of a lot of the ball, but his work ethic is terrible in the VFL.
Scott Gumbleton, bearly lifts a finger, but somehow gets 3 goals a game.

Getting to my point, getting sent to play in the VFL is pretty much an insult to most AFL players, why should it be any different for Lee, so what he doesn't get as many BOG's as most players, I wouldn't put in 100% either if I were sent down to play depressing footy.

What games have you watched? That whole post is a pile of tripe. Mal had been very good up until yesterday. Nobody could ever question JJ's work ethic, his skills let him down, that is all. Did you not see Gumby backing into packs to make a contest after missing all year with injuries, he was more focused than any other player on the ground.

Lee hasnt played a senior game in 2 years, hardly qualifies as an insult for a veteran of 5 matches to be playing VFL. Do you have any idea on how Lee plays from watching him or are you just making it up?

 

[Spikey]

If Lee doesn't give 100% for the reserves. I think I would perfer to keep Johns, who does give 100%.

 

[yaco55]

That could have been my wife !

We had a picture taken on at the 1/4 time huddle.

WTF are you talking about ????
You have to play some decent footy in the VFL to be in line for senior selection. Lee had plenty of chances.
Talk about a pile of absolute dribble.
I think you can have a seat on bombersno1's little yellow bus

Agree %100.

I thought it was a piss weak effort considering he's fighting for his place in the side.

 

[Runk]

All I know of Johns is that as soon as the all hits the ground, where it spends probably more time than anywhere else, Johns may as well not be out there. His ball handling skills are not good, he lumbers around the ground like a dinosaur and doesn't even have anything resembling an AFL level second effort. I am sorry he has hurt his knee, as it's never anything you'd wish on someone, however he does not deserve a spot on our list and should be delisted come end of the year. Show him the door.

Andrew Lee.....I think the fact he's been around so long and yet never really even been able to get a look in, even this year when guys like Atkinson are getting chances, can pretty much tell you he's not up to it.
Again, please show him the door to allow for opportunities elsewhere.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

I wouldn't stress on it too much. CJ and Lee will be delisted. There is no two ways about it. They are gone. As well as Pev, Johnno, Mal. 5 spots at least for new blood.
