O'Donnell didn't get another head knock, did he?

O'Donnell didn't get another head knock, did he?

Nothing has been confirmed either way, but the majority believe not.

 

[CDBulldog]

Freijah is one of the quickest on our list

Can confirm. Quick, very.

Would this be the best VFL team we've ever seen?

It’s seriously strong when you then add CCP and Bianco. I wouldn’t mind JOD spending a couple of weeks up forward if he’s all clear and not in the AFL teams. Given recent form, if for whatever reason one of our KPFs missed games I think I’d rather keep Lobb in the backline and either go shorter of play JOD forward.

I'd rather go short in the forward line and keep JOD developing in defence. I also wouldn't be suprised to see Beveridge have JOD spend some time up on a wingas he has speculated about previously.

Where is spicer at anyone know. If both teams can stay healthy we could possibly win two premierships.

 

[NthBondiDoggies]

Did Freijah look quick? I haven’t worked out if he is or he isn’t yet. I haven’t seen him run down yet but I can’t work out if it is his lopey ( it’s a real word) running style that makes him look slower than he really is.

Definitely very quick - acceleration and straight line speed but not sure of tank. No reason to doubt just hasn’t been playing much wing at senior level and big step up in gut running.

[Mofra]

Freijah is one of the quickest on our list

His 2km time trial was pretty high up at draft camp last year IIRC. Seems like he'll develop well as a 'repeat runner'

Home game for me. Can't wait!

 

[Oliver G]

Of the current teams in the VFL, Frankston is the only team we've never lost to.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Surely Keath and Gardner play forward for structure. Keep Buss and JOD back for development.

Keath and JOD will play back with Buss playing as the third tall. Gardner up forward.

You've just been appointed BF sports correspondent for the weekend.
We look forward to your detailed reports and analysis!

I hope the docs have told Gardner to mark and not punch the ball for fear of a recurrence of his wrist injury.

 

[Golden_6]

So poor Freijah doesn’t even get a chance to push for selection as the travelling emergency?

 

[VitalDread]

Dan Orgill and CCP are players of interest for a rookie spot with us

 

[stefoid]

Tell us about Dan?

 

[goodcop badcop]

Don't rate Orgill at all. Good VFL player and hard at it. Don't think he has enough skill or athleticism for the next level.

I don't understand that one at all.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Tell us about Dan?

I'm pretty cool

 

[VitalDread]

I'm pretty cool

Pretty avg at GTA though

 

[JohnnySteel]

Hope Croft is back soon. Would be great to get the VFL finals into him.

Yeah, he loves a tackle but that's about it. Doesn't get it enough and doesn't seem like a high ceiling player.
