Watching that was like watching the senior team when they have a bad week and play as witch's hats defensively, such as any game in Adelaide.

 

[fargy]

I enjoyed it. A few beers watching the boys go about it. Most played pretty well in tough conditions. Two weeks to prepare for a prelim.

 

[Doggies7]

Can't believe we allowed not one, but two marks inside defensive 50 with about 15 seconds left and still won.

 

[Ted's Robot]

As soon as Buku kicked that point to give the ball back to the lions u could see them going coast to coast to goal even against the wind. So lucky to win, don't know what happened for us to get the down field free kick to put us in front but if it wasn't for that we didn't look like kicking a goal. Take the win but wasn't one of our better games considering who we had in.

I am happy but we were lucky the qtr went so long. Is it too much to expect us to play smart football when kicking with a strong breeze?

Every quarter went over 30 minutes

We also got molested by the umpires for most of the game

Last one was the longest

 

[Doggy]

Last one was the longest

It might have been the longest but that umpire touchup lasted all game. We didn't even get taken to dinner first.

Seems Harmes made the strongest case for selection.

I'd say that Jones put his hand up to stay in the side instead of Vandermeer.

Yeah going to be a close one. Or to keep West out

 

[Dog 36]

Don’t think Arty takes West out of the side but if Laith is not 100% ready Jones comes in

He moves well there is something about him

 

[Thunderoad]

I don't think West was played today just becuase he was returning from injury.

I think there was a bugger element of trying to get him back into some sort of form.

Buku was alright too

Jones not bad

West probably comes in

 

[Rookie]

Busslinger looks fantastic. We've got a good one.

Harmes looks ready for finals football. Arty made a good case for staying in. I thought Fort was very influential but lots to like about Smith as a first year ruck.

Coffield, Buku, Harmes, Sanders, Arty, Poulter is a lot of depth we can call on if our AFL team go the distance.

I loved today

Western Oval
Footscray playing
Beer or 2 in a can nice and cold and a hot pie
Number 24 out there
Wind
Outer standing
Footscray came home with the wind
Close to the action
Parked car in the street walked to the footy

I miss it

 

[X_box_X]

Huge result with Box Hill choking.

It's all set up for us now to fork that Hawk.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Really smart coaching to keep Buku at same end of the ground kicking with the wind.

Buss looking more like a #1, #2 or #3 KPD? Is he capable of playing next year and then being the Jones replacement on the #1 KPF in 2026?

 

[dergert]

Only watched the 1st quarter but lol at Gardy being the cannonball at full forward
