VFL 2019 VFL R4 vs Ess (Sat 27 Apr 2pm @Salty Hill Essendon) - LIVE STREAM - Kelly debuts

[Soups]

Soccer off the ground to Tohill. 16-49.

 

[Good_Old]

Goal out of nothing. 49 to 16

 

[barrackers]

Tohill toes his first goal

 

[Mongo Ming]

Broomhead running hard to wherever the ball isn't.

1 disposal for the game, and that was a handball into the dirt.

 

[Finnishpie]

I'm not convinced that our talent is that deep at VFL. In any case, they're just not doing anywhere near enough to get their hands on the ball in this game, and their use of it is nothing less than deplorable.

Wells
Reid
Goldsack
Wills
Broomhead
Oxley
Crocker

All played or will play AFL

 

[Soups]

Caught napping out the goal square. Francis marks 10 out and converts.

 

[good4footy]

Hopefully Reid plays well and gets through. Would not be surprised if Cox was to miss next week with that leg injury late in the game.

 

[Finnishpie]

Centre square not working at all. Rivers you dunce -- do something!

 

[Finnishpie]

Finally Wells goes into the centre and we get a clearance. Jesus. Only 45 minutes too late.

 

[Good_Old]

Backman playing 5 meters in front of your man when the wind is likely to carry it over the back every time. What is Jack Magden?

 

[Soups]

Wells won’t ever play 1’s again.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Daicos and Madgen too.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

So as someone not watching the game - why is our VFL side so crappy?

 

[AgroMagro]

Is anybody else weirded out by how bad Madgen has been?

 

[Markfs]

wells seems to be wearing a flak jacket....

 

[JB1975]

All of that list look off the pace today, so far, with the exception of Reid.

 

[Good_Old]

So as someone not watching the game - why is our VFL side so crappy?

Not sure on other days but today they look disinterested. Flat footed, second to the contest and poor disposal by hand and foot.

 

[Rorzza]

I thought Madgen played reasonably well last year when he played in the AFL but today he looks like he won't make it at VFL level. Ordinary to say the least!

 

[Finnishpie]

All of that list look off the pace today, so far, with the exception of Reid.

It's the VFL. They shouldn't be off the pace!

Daicos and Madgen too...

 

[Soups]

This will be 100+ thumping.

 

[Good_Old]

Just getting slaughtered now. 67 to 16 boooooers way.

 

[Markfs]

maybe we can have some of the essendon orange juice at half time.....

 

[Finnishpie]

So as someone not watching the game - why is our VFL side so crappy?

Today completely lacking intensity. Not sure why.

 

[jonbe54]

Coaching staff failure - for an entire side to lack intensity means either deep internal trouble or simply poor coaching.

 

[Apex36]

How the hell do we go from being one of the top sides in 2018 to.... this? I know we lost some players, but that’s no excuse for what the players are serving up right now. Some serious questions need to be asked of our VFL division, and funds/resources need to be directed there too. The foundation of a good AFL team is a well performing VFL team. How have we not learned this yet???
