2nds 2024 VFL thread

[Helicon1]

Hope we kick better than this tonight.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Failure to capitalise on opportunities is an issue

 

[Ceebee]

Gosh its super hard to figure out who these commentators are barracking for.

I had a quick watch and they were embarrassing in their support of the other team .

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Starting to get annoyed with our tendencies to a) blaze away and b) handball to the feet of our teammates

 

[Gadzorks]

Feck the first quarter lead

I've turned off the commentary. Sorry, I mean other team cheerleaders.

VFL bias no what version you watch.

 

[twhowler]

Where have they found this special comments bloke? Oscillates between outright barracking for the seagulls and sucking on lemons if we kick a goal

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Willy narrowly escaped being caught with too many players on the field at the start of the quarter

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

They are kicking them from everywhere. Surely some sort of reversion to the mean is coming up

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Fully asleep/confusion/something else I don't know but this is not the sort of defence I expected to start the premiership quarter

 

[Gadzorks]

I always (unrealistically) expect afl backed teams should always beat genuine vfl teams. So it's even more disappointing when we can't even put up a contest like the last 30 minutes. It's making me glum.

Might have to turn off and save my misery for tonight.

early has proven to be an effective strategy

We may be cooked lads

Remembering that our injury list means we're quite weak for senior-listed players, especially in defence, and that a VFL premiership has much greater significance to the standalone teams, it's a bit more understandable

 

[Nathan Barley]

For anyone wanting us to rotate like Geelong, this is our depth

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Proof of life?

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Getting heaps of the footy but failing to make an impact with it. Sharp's long run into the forward 50 ending with an ineffective handball is a good example

 

[PattyKwasagun]

15.4. This is approaching 2019 Qualifying Final Richmond levels from Williamstown.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Torrent had to hold off kicking that one twice because Ryan turned his back on him running back. We were a bit lucky to goal from that foray

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Not sure how much of Ryan's jumper his opponent is allowed to hold. Seems like a lot more than normal

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Prior somewhat annoyed with the service Tahj provided with that handball

 

[Helicon1]

24 scoring shots to 19

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Dunno about Smith. I wouldn't want a clip of that dropped mark to come up in his end of season interview

 

[Helicon1]

Training drill stuff just then.
PLaying well Williamstown.
Move the ball well and like the seniors, the 2nds struggle with pace too
