VFL VFL Round 6 v Footscray. Saturday May 3rd 2:05pm @ Victoria Park

[Chunky Steak]

Gee HDM has been disappointing so far, all things considered. Seems to be going backwards if anything. Talked a big talk too when he arrived at the club.

May as well throw him in the middle more often, because something needs to change.

Onwards and upwards, young man!

 

[Kes1984]

you walked to the G from Victoria Park?

Yep
It’s not that far really

Little further for me because I had to stop via my car that’s parked along Fitzroy Gardens

Makes winning tonight very important because looks like we are fielding a fairly weakened team next week against freo. With a 5 day break and them looking to rebound will be a tough game

I think there will only be a couple we're planning to manage, but we've left more out in case others that don't get up in time and we might as well have the potential inclusions not coming off a 5 day break themselves.

One of my best ever walk of shame was a girl who lived right next to Vic Park, knew where I was and how to get home

 

[Jen2310]

Rough game.
Talking to Josh Browne after the game, he said the evident of Westy not playing was quite noticeable. Just didn't have many targets inside 50.

Good on you. I used to live near the Exhibition building and always walked to Vic Park, the G, and Docklands.

Can ppl.sart up about the resting


Our actual coach is rotating the squad and it's bloody brilliant

It's not just big footy chat it's actually happening

I for one and one of the rest brigade


Over and out

Does Crosisca work for the VFL team?

Yes, does a lot of vfl stuff.. Training and game day. Not totally sure of his role.

 

[swoop42]

When I saw the outs for this week I knew I wouldn't bother watching.

Great decision by me.

Still, that's a smashing.

Our issue was getting it inside 50 tbh Jen. Destroyed through the centre. Doggies dominated possession. Westy would have struggled today

Correct - dogs had a lot of afl experienced mid size players We had Tom Wilson leading our midfield…

Yesh that too. Dogs seem to have a lot more experience
Dean was our most experienced player

Dogs should won by a lot more too

You're a braver man than me Dave if you sat through all that.

Was always going to be a tough ask without Cox, West & Johnson. Very little aerial presence forward of the ball made it impossible to get it outside of our backline.

TJ & Dean did some nice things, but their stats are probably inflated by the sheer amount it was down there. Browne can break some lines.

Also had no Markov/Allan/Sullivan as well

Need the Resting Ruck in Forward Line and not on the Bench

We support them even when it’s tough.

No Allan, Sullivan, markov, west, Cochrane, and Hayes played for 5min.

Some quality outs.

Dogs are a very good side.

HDM continues to let me down

Their experience smacked us, plenty of AFL squad players. Poulter also pulling a once in a year performance out hurt

God that makes me feel old.
He actually looks OK for 56, but that's the first time I've seen him in over 20 years.

Why were the following missing, Jen? Westy is most likely debuting next week but why were Sullivan, Markov and Allan not playing?

The latter three were afl emgs. Generally at least 2 would play, maybe they are in contention for next week?

Just my luck to pick today to go and watch the VFL boys! Cochrane and West were the two I was most interested in with Allan a close third and none of them were playing! I did get to pat Shane O'Bree on the back and tell him he is one of the club's most underrated players.

Yeah real unlucky for you. Cochran in protocols and the others emgs or managed for the game.
