Goodness me we're taking some bold options into the corridor aren't we

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

With Footscray having a six goal lead halfway through Q3, it looks like we'll finish third regardless of our result today

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Just rocked up to the ground and right on cue the behinds have recommenced

How long are you planning to stay? Any chance of you leaving by halftime?

Not sure yet. Meeting up with friends at some stage... Just not sure when exactly yet!

I just heard from them, they're meeting you early outside the G, you should head over there now. And then maybe we can start kicking a few goals again

Shout out to ChrisThaLedg - nice call of the Beecken goal of the year contender last week, just been shown in the highlights at halftime

ZZ looking good in the air. Let's just not talk about his kicking...

 

[Mr Ripper]

ZZ’s kicking action

Seems to have good elevation

 

[Mr Ripper]

Hude dunnit

 

[Helicon1]

Some very poor skills by hands by so many players.

 

[jumbojet]

Frustrating football poor hand passes and disposal by the lions

 

[Helicon1]

Stupid football from Fort
Selfish football from McKenna
Coast to coast Collingwood

 

[Mr Ripper]

Lollipop short passes to covered players.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Oh well. Hopefully an instructive outcome for the senior side

 

[Nathan Barley]

Oh well. Hopefully an instructive outcome for the senior side

Fortunately our seniors have more than 1 midfielder

Noah reported? The incident in the third. He seemed to be finding some form before the incident.

ZZ looking on the pace at last the best thing out of the game. Still some development needed.

First time I've seen him in action. Is he really 2m?? Doesn't seem to play that tall.

Not heard that he's 2m. The club site has him at 196cm which seems more realistic.

Torrent is 184; Carter's 188. I reckon ZZ would be 194 tops.

 

[Mr Ripper]

With Box Hill struggling against Werribee today, it looks like our first final will be away to Footscray, with a subsequent final at BHA. Hopefully GC are knocked out in the repechage.

I did not realize the VFL had a wildcard round this year.
Maybe i read about it earlier in the year but had forgotten.
Mr Ripper mentioned "repecharge" in last Sundays post but it still did not register with me.

Pretty sure they had it last year too?

 

[Grasshopper17]

They did. Both winners got cleaned up in their Elimination Final if I recall correctly. So no real benefit except a cash grab I guess.

They should expand it to 3v6 and 4v5 as well.
