He isnt there yet physically but moves around better.

he was doing a lot of pre-season stuff with the dogs when VFL team invited


Had some nice moments against North playing a forward/midfield type of role

Hey Vital,
Did Cooper Craig Peters injure his knee on the weekend?

yep, did it in the first Q and went to the rooms

I left after half time so i didn't report it incase he came back out

He was walking fine without any support from the trainer

So unsure how serious it is

Big bodied inside mid who loves to tackle.

Not to be confused with the other Kardachi - a big bootied mid you'd love to tackle.

Is a nice feeling having a Ex NGA be Vice Captain, Father Son and the nephew of a future hall of famer in the leadership

Is there a VFL practice game this weekend?

Footscray Bulldogs vs Werribee (Mission Whitten Oval, Saturday 11am)

Footscray Bulldogs vs Werribee (Mission Whitten Oval, 11am)

Williamstown kept Werribee to one goal for the whole game last weekend so I'm not hopeful it will be too much of a hit out.

Footscray Bulldogs vs Werribee (Mission Whitten Oval, Saturday 11am)

Will the player that is known as the Loch Ness monster of the Bulldogs be playing for the Bulldogs VFL side this week. Nick Codfield

 

[VitalDread]

CPP playing today so guessing his injury wasn't too bad last week

 

[VitalDread]

Buku has really took the next step in confidence
Playing extremely well at half back

Shifting his body Infront of th forwards for contested marks

 

[stevieg1969]

Are any of the other emergencies playing (Baker and Garcia)?

Baker, Garcia and Buku are playing

 

[fred cook]

Codfield or JUH playing?

 

[Mr. Walker]

Playing in what? Is it match sim or a practice match?

 

[Doggy]

Codfield or JUH playing?

I doubt JUH is

Codfield or JUH playing?

Coffield played a half of footy
Did laps at half time
Haven't seen him yet

Marra won't be playing till a few weeks

 

[VitalDread]

I mentioned our KPP VFL depth will be our biggest weakness

Having Hargraves as our key forward won't win us a lot of game this year

Glad to hear Coff played. Got here late and saw him running laps.

After seeing Luke Trainor play really well on Friday for the tigers, I really hope Hynes (who we took before Trainor) is good.

He's been pretty comfortable out there today
Playing a mix of midfield and forward mins

Gives me early Stringer vibes

 

[Spiritof82]

I doubt JUH is

Priorities, GP is on, lots of party tents
