VFL 2019 VFL R2 vs Foots (Fri 12th Apr, 4.30pm @ Holden Centre) - Wells returns

[sirlothie]

Didn’t read that way at all to me. I think it’s a fair comparison. Our VFL side gets woeful exposure, especially considering it’s importance to the fortunes of our AFL side. I don’t see the need to get on the defensive regarding the AFLW when the comment wasn’t criticising it.

It's AFLW. You can't even allude towards criticising it.

 

[barrackers]

Cheers. Explains a bit why we look light on down back.

 

[Gone Critical]

Wells goals in last Q. Looks like he is playing full game and still running pretty well

 

[Apex36]

Well that explains it then. We’re getting pummeled because Madgen is injured.

C. Brown didn’t play in the VFL because he’s been called up to the seniors to replace Beams who’s out due to a migraine

Interesting how much exposure and promoting our brand new Aflw team gets while our vfl boys pretty much don't even exist unless you're a die hard and drive out to the game yourself. Seems fair.

Nonsense, woman’s game has nothing to do with the vfl exposure

 

[barrackers]

String of handballs across 50 after Daicos kicked it high, Hetherington eventually goes inside and finds Wells, long kick, Wells nonchalantly turns his back, straight through the middle

33-91

He never said it did. Why do so many people get their backs up at the mere mention of AFLW?

 

[Kappa]

Im guessing the Irish boys are struggling? I wouldn't know because this thread is the only coverage...

 

[barrackers]

Dogs turnover repeat efforts from Wills, Hetherington misses.

Dogs end to end - 5 point play?

Because it did not need AFLW reference in it, agree that The club has to do a lot better with the vfl games in video or radio, but there was no need to put the other in.
Well that’s how l read it, as sour grapes. He has done it before.

 

[Gone Critical]

16:10 to 5:4 18 min last Q

 

[barrackers]

And another dogs goal, hopefully we don’t give away a heap in the last 5-10 minutes again

On the end of a good belting it seems

 

[barrackers]

Daicos and Wells one two by foot, Daicos towards 50, wears one, pies mark, kick to Sier on 50, short pass inside finds Atu, Mark, goal

 

[barrackers]

Siren 6.4 40 to 17.10 112

 

[Vicky Park]

Please tell me Sier is looking better, knocking down the door, looking hungry, that sort of thing.

 

[sirlothie]

Daicos and Wells one two by foot, Daicos towards 50, wears one, pies mark, kink to Sier on 50, short pass inside finds Atu, Mark, goal

He's back?!

The Bear has come out of hibernation and is voracious.

Looked a class above, bit of footy without getting a heap. Has some cheek, one of his kicks was smothered towards the end, opponent gathered and started running away with ball, Sier casually pushed him in the back and over the boundary.

Would have been damn handy this evening.

I'm not a fan of the women's game yet. I watched a half in year 1 and the standard was so low that I couldn't watch it. I watched it again this year and the game has come on in leaps and bounds, but i'm still going to wait a couple more years for it to improve further before I get on board.

Having said that, Kappa's post was pretty obviously implying that the women's game is undeserving of our attention and whilst I don't have an issue with that as pretty much my own sentiment, I do find it annoying when someone blows a dog whistle to get a reaction from those who can hear it and then denies they blew the whistle.

I've just realised why I like watching Petracca.

 

[JB1975]

Using the VFL thread to complain about the AFLW stealing attention from the VFL. Hmm.

Its hard to understand why a club with so many resources isn't providing a stream
