VFL 2019 VFL R16 vs Frankston (Sun 21 Jul 2pm @ Skybus Stadium Frankston) - Noble named

Thomas, not in VFL, not an emergency and not on injury list?

At least he had speed back then. After his hammys got ruined he had no weapons

That must been 1 of the Worst Hammies ever

Come back, Walshy.
All is forgiven!

I can only assume the club believes Noble might be right to play VFL on Sunday with an extra days rest but is to big a risk to select for the Saturday AFL game.

He showed more than enough in his debut IMO to warrant senior selection again.

Noble’s situation is a bit of a melon scratcher. I don’t buy the theory of giving him extra time to get up for the match because he’s such a peripheral player that you just wouldn’t play him if he wasn’t right. IMO, it’s a mix of load, comms and team balance.

Another poster pointed out that Bux in his presser said that Murphy was returning from injury and would be playing VFL this weekend, so the poster speculated that perhaps the club had made a mistake and accidentally named Noble in the team, when they meant Murphy.

Would love to see Murphy get 4 or 5 weeks solid VFL footy into him, could be very handy come the end of the season. Hope Lagdon is not too far either.

I was really looking forward to Murphy this year. Pity it’s been wrecked by h8s injuries.

Love to see Wilson start to make CHF his own.

Pretty sure they've already called it Center Half Wilson.

Well then he should bag a lazy 10 over the next couple of rounds.

Reckon he needs a break. Was watching him last week and he was struggling. Can tell something isn’t right.

A player’s load can be managed better in the VFL than in the AFL. In the VFL they’ve got the option of giving him (eg) 50% gametime, or (Eg) pulling him off at half time if he’s done. Maybe that can be justified in the AFL for players like DeGoey or Grundy - but Noble isn’t quite at that standard yet.

 

[rand corp]

If Noble doesn't play AFL I do not expect him to play VFL.
Thomas is badly out of form and was apparently cod-ordinary in the VFL last week as well, a week of to freshen up might not be a bad idea.

 

[sirlothie]

Not much AFL talent left on the park to face Frankston. The only one I'm interested in seeing is the great one Wilson.

Umm....phrasing

 

[Bad Horse]

A player’s load can be managed better in the VFL than in the AFL.... pulling him off at half time if he’s done.

I know I'm going straight to hell but I had a giggle fit over this one and then had to explain to my flatmates why.

Mystery rest, has to be a niggle, he's been shocking

Just hope Frankston does not try to Start Many Fights

I've heard we'll be employing the 58 GF tactic of whacking every player on the ground as the siren blows to start the game, then revert to playing football without retaliating

Interesting strategy...

What's wrong with a bit of biff in Frankston?

Went to a fight and a game of football broke out.
