2nds 2021 EFL - 2nd Tier

[JC100]

I think PM suffer from not being AFL aligned.

They lacked i50 composure, and this proved the difference on the day.

Might be the case this year but they have been a powerhouse in the VFL despite no AFL affiliation. Won the comp in 17.

VFL Round 7 Match Postponed

Saturday's VFL fixture against the Brisbane Lions has been postponed.

www.gwsgiants.com.au

Disappointing for the players and other involved but on the bright side a chance for the injured and sore players to recover as it would have been a very weak side with maybe 5-6 listed players

Gotta ask 'Why?''

 

[SL16]

Pardon the intrusion guys, just dropping in here to advise that the game will still be going ahead as a practice game (ie not for VFL premiership points). Which is great for both of our sides imo

My guess for the reason for them calling the whole VFL round off was due to them fixturing the comp with every team having multiple byes, which gives them flexibility for situations like this; probably easier than cancelling some games, moving others etc.

Fair enough.

Just please don't injure any of our listed players - we hardly have enough of them as it is!

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

this would have to be the most VicCentric thing ever.

Victoria is in lockdown - so that obviously means that the GWS v Brisbane game in Queensland can’t possibly go ahead

farcical

the Vics seriously have to f***en get over themselves.

 

[Colonial]

At least they have a practice match against the Lions.

So we axe the EAFL game against the Lions to have a practice match against the Lions.

* me.

fu** me.

Make it a real game, or just delay it ( or make Brisbane play southport, aspley play gold coast.)

 

[Giant Pete]

So in this side on the weekend we will have most of in our VFL:
Kennedy
Davis
DeBoer
Riccardi
Bruhn
Angwin
Briggs
Brown
Buntine
Fleeton
Hutchesson
Peatling
Shaw
Josh Green
Sproule
Stein Wehr
Shipley

That is foreign territory for us!!!

13 listed players

XOH not named so will be in tassie as the Med sub

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Riccardi and Briggs looking the business at BISP.

Riccardi is full KPF mode - strong contested marks, gun-barrel set shots for 8 goals.

Phil solid on return.

8 to Riccardi .... he and Briggs toying with them

8 to Riccardi .... he and Briggs toying with them

Can we give him an extended run in the firsts, as a FF, when there's a decent team around him? To see how he goes!

Please.

 

[Orange crush]

Would love to see him, Hogan and the Berg together for 8 weeks

 

[Giant Pete]

Yep Riccardi too good for reggies.
Briggs was doing it very easy too.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

I think to be fair to Leon, Riccardi hasn’t shown that level of KPF performance - contested marks + set piece goal kicking - all year until today.

It looked a like a real breakthrough performance for him today, very reminiscent of his spectacular early AFL games for us last year.

Aspley are garbage so let’s not read too much into it

 

[Orange Agent]

I watched 2 and a bit qtrs. Riccardi was good, he got some good delivery and made the most of some average opposition. I thought Briggs was our best player, i dunno how much longer we keep holding him back. Shipley is unlucky, I hope we dont see another Jack Steele here. Bruhn needs a breakout game, oozes class at this level. Hopefully Phil is better for the run, got caught out of place a bit. Wehr and Peatling have some nice footskills coming out of defence.

Riccardi Kicks Eight as GIANTS Smash Aspley in VFL

A big final quarter gives the GIANTS another VFL victory.

Write up on the game

No Fleeton so hopefully just a minor injury

I would think the Angus Baker who played is from Essendon VFL so not sure if it is a 1 of thing or he has moved back to Sydney but if he does stay for the season it will strengthen the reserves and help those around by having a experienced head around

VFL Team Announcement: Round 10 v Werribee

A return to familiar territory for Jake Riccardi in the VFL this weekend.

www.gwsgiants.com.au

13 listed players and good to see some consistency in the selection of the non listed players which will really help with how the team performs and this will be a hard trip down to Werribee and not sure who will ruck

 

[Colonial]

 

[Colonial]

Not a bad start. We weren’t taking advantage of our inside 50s at the beginning.

 

[Orange Agent]

No Ash and Wehr. One must be sub, I guess with games in different states we need an emergency as well.

 

[Colonial]

2nd quarter hasn’t been great.

 

[JC100]

No Ash and Wehr. One must be sub, I guess with games in different states we need an emergency as well.

could also be a late change with all the predicted rain
