VFL Game Day VFL Preliminary Final: Williamstown vs Essendon, North Port Oval, Sunday 15/09/19, 2:10 PM

[Red Black and Blue]

8.15 and three goals against from 50 metre penalty’s. Easily winnable.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Another baffling decision from the umpire. Contact made to the ribs by McKenna legs, gives a high contact free.

 

[DapperJong]

That's what she said. No she didn't.

On a serious note, was trying to say that amongst the average bloke who's played footy, he'd probably be considered a good player. But at AFL level, hes underwhelming.

Note: as I typed this, he was busting out some nice run and gun out of d50.

Yeah I’ll concede he’s probably better than me

 

[JayJ20]

impressed by Jok

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Gees too many of our listed players have had poor finals campaign. Depth a real worry especially in midfield.

 

[nylexbandit]

Despite how poorly we played we still Could’ve won this with some composure in front of goal / discipline

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

A few excellent clubmen chaired off, thanks boys.

 

[Bjchan13]

Hocking, bags, myers and dea chaired off. Thanks lads.

 

[DERO]

Hocking, bags, myers and dea chaired off. Thanks lads.

4 great servants of the club.

It pains me to say it but even with poor conversion and some very soft cheapies given up I don’t think there was any way we could have won that game.

Meese completely eliminated our midfield from the game for the better part of 3 quarters and we still don’t have any genuine avenues to goal. Stoked with the effort to get here but we just didn’t have the cattle present.

 

[Old Campaigner]

It would’ve been nice if Myers went out with a flag of some sort.

Looks like it was a white one

I would have loved to have seen Draper (or TBC/Clarke) compete against him. He was good but was opposed to a 19 year old boy, an undersized utility and a KPD.

 

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

We got slapped hard in the 1st quarter and just couldn't clutch back; the margin stayed about the same for the rest of the game.

Our i50 deliveries, marking and tackling across both our sides have been weak this year. Hope these areas among others get some attention in the pre season.

The two biggest issues for me has been our inability to hit a target and our inability to stick a tackle. Today highlighted how poor our club is when our VFL struggles with these basic concepts

 

[DapperJong]

The fact they didn’t chair Long off worries me

 

[DERO]

Looks like it was a white one

Quality.

 

[Old Campaigner]

The fact they didn’t chair Long off worries me

Did he play enough games to justify a chair-off?

 

[DapperJong]

Did he play enough games to justify a chair-off?

I just want to make sure he’s done asap

 

[DERO]

I just want to make sure he’s done asap

He'd be more comfortable in a chair at senior level.

 

[Bjchan13]

I just want to make sure he’s done asap

Possibly knows he will play on at VFL level?

 

[andleanback]

The fact they didn’t chair Long off worries me

You don’t chair someone off who is getting delisted

 

[grimlock]

 

[windyhill]

Kicked the first goal. Never in it.

 

[VelvetSledge]

70 hitouts is a fair day out

 

[jmoo wan]

Longy! best on for us- we need to hang on to those players who relish in finals football.
