If gets de-listed then you could just about de-list everyone in the VFL Side.
McLarty Consistentcy needs improvment.
His Best is Very Good but his worse he is Useless

Murphy is Clearly better then those 2

While it's not uncommon to see our players at the VFL it was good to see another large player contingent on hand to support our VFL side today. DeGoey, Wells, Pendlebury, Adams, Aish, Dunn, Mayne, Reid, Sidebottom, Thomas, Kirby, Murphy and Wills were the players I seen amongst the crowd. McGuire and Buckley were also about. Anyone spot other CFC players?

McLarty's positioning and body work were poor today. He needs to play more like the big lump of a lad he is and at this level he should be bullying smaller opponents. Instead today he was often out marked or spoiled. A bit more physicality would have seen him take more grabs and have a bigger influence.
Playing McLarty (and Lynch) forward and then bombing the ball at them just let Francis practice his marking!
Mind you he HAS been doing exactly the same thing in the seniors against far more experienced opponents than our two young lads
Paddy Ryder looked a bit like McLarty I reckon.
We had a seconds side playing 15 senior players today. McLarty looked a bit tired towards the end, but then he had a few mates!

Why would we prefer losing to winning?

Moore needs a month in the VFL to test his hamstrings which he won't get so I can't see why or how we would risk him

Why would they throw a spanner in the senior side's own campaign by tanking? Or their own?

I think we need to take that risk. If not next week then the 2nd final.

Talent wise yes - in-game injury wise.. ... he's a bit of a worry

Definitely a risk, but if it comes off we could win the whole thing.

We've got a double chance. Roll the dice. Treloar, Howe and Moore straight in. If their bodies hold up, I think we have a genuine chance of a flag. I can't see us winning it without them.

Played Moore's father with a dodgy hammy in the 1981 granny - didn't help in that game

Memories of Reid's dodgy groin in 2011 are also concerning, but we don't win the flag this year playing safe. If we take some risks and get lucky, we might just win it.Played Moore's father with a dodgy hammy in the 1981 granny - didn't help in that game

That was a very ordinary game and a disappointing way for the VFL boys to end their season. Right from the outset they looked flat and slow and didn’t respond to Essendon’s intensity. A bit of a shame but what’s done is done, time to look towards 2019.

We barely turned up today, unfortunately. Essendon played well all over the ground and we struggled to find a single winner, with the exceptions of Cal Brown's first half and Jok's efforts across the day. I think we did well to still be in the game going into the last quarter.
It's unfair to isolate any single player today: they were ordinary as a team. A shame to end the season on that note, but that's footy.

The tall blond at the back is Justin Crow. Was later a runner and rehab co-ordinator with us and has been in similar/more advanced roles with Essendon since 2011.

Can’t see what choice we have.
