Despite the poor KAYO streaming quality, flashbacks of 1992 of a Hird running around in the 49.
Great kick before to a leading Phillips.
Yeah s**t I've gotta do that too, thanks for reminding me mateSo grim I decided to scrub the oven instead.
I was happy they at least fought it out in the 2nd half.No real surprise given how young we where. More than half the side under 21 and having played zero footy last year.

Live and replays are available on WatchAFL if you've got that (VFL replays are in the "Shows" section for some reason).Unfortunately with Kayo getting the rights to stream looks like it'll be inaccessible for folks overseas. Streaming rights deals still stuck in the dark ages.
No current season stats available
I mean, we could be more competitive but it’s to the detriment of what we’re trying to do. McKernan in the VFL is basically the equivalent of prime Corey McKernan and can tear games apart but he’s useless at AFL level and a waste of a list spot.
On paper the VFL contingent looks seriously poor this year.
We can take this view but then there is the reality of Cahill and Johnson on the list. Maybe half a player between those 2.
I’m not prepared to make that call after 1 VFL game, I will say that them putting Cahill in defence is getting to the point that it’s actively killing any chance he ever had, which I’ve never said about anyone before that I can recall.
I’m sorry but this blatantly false in many aspects. I’m not trying to start anything, just want a bit more of a balanced perspective to the game.Just looking at the numbers Brisbane fielded an AFL side against our pretty awful VFL list that has about 6 players who look the part.
Really shows how much of an advantage the academies are. Ballenden 200cm with the athleticism of Easton Wood in defence, the Colemans buzzing around not to mention a few others. The Lion's list is outstanding.

We had 15 players who were 20 or under. There were only 3 over 22 being Archie Smith (25), Mathieson and Cockatoo (both 24).
We had 8 players who have played AFL football. Of those we only had 3 players who have played more than 7 games again being Archie Smith, Mathieson and Cockatoo (the others having played 7, 6, 3, 3 and 2).
All our top up players were undrafted academy players from this year or last year. With most being 19 and two being 20.
Quite a few of our next best guys were not playing in Answerth, Payne, CEY, McFadyen and Joyce, even leaving Rayner aside who would certainly be in the firsts.
After Archie Smith was injured in the first quarter we played the rest of the game without a ruck and got smashed in the ruck contest.
Our two best mids being Deven Robertson (20) and Ely Smith (21) did not play after half time.
Uosis (Cat B rookie) was playing his first ever competitive game after only arriving in Australia in January.
Ballenden is not athletic, and is actually a pretty soft player for a kid who stands 200cm tall. His one outstanding attribute is that he’s a very good kick.
Our team on the weekend consisted of 4 kids who were drafted at the end of last year, and another 6 U19 academy kids who went undrafted, and Bruce Reville, another academy kid who turns 20 this year.Here I am thinking you have 2 injuries and played a side full of AFL players.
And when you lead with blatantly false dont turn "Ballenden is athletic", or at least does a very good impression of someone who is, into "he's soft".
I can always tell when I'm getting a useful insight...
