VFL 2025 VFL Thread

[Bulldog in Kiev]

Watching loosely but all I’ve seen is coffield making poor mistakes and looking a long way off AFL standard unfortunately.

We've got an absolute gun in Dolan, I'd personally keep him in the VFL for the rest of the season to let him develop at his own pace. He certainly won't play much VFL next year

 

[MaxiBont]

Dolan is so good

 

[X_box_X]

Oh, Josh. Stop it.

 

[scooter600x]

Coast to coast thanks to Dolan breaking the lines and playing direct. We would be 12 goals up if we stopped ****ing around with it

 

[MaxiBont]

Hynes and Jaques combine for some nice play

 

[X_box_X]

Crofty boy

 

[JohnnySteel]

Hynes, Dolan & Jaques love to link up. Already have a good connection.

 

[MaxiBont]

Croft and Walker best games I’ve seen them play in the VFL

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Boy, Dolan's a cut above this level...

 

[W W Biscuit]

Watching the game, credit to the commentators. They seem to know the players well - unlike last week's game. I know that some think he's a bit loud, but I really like the English bloke. Knows his stuff and is passionate.

Imagine Dolan once he was built that frame up and put on a bit of muscle, as well as a couple more pre-seasons of fitness... Great pick-up, will play a lot of AFL games over the coming years.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Davidson has been quiet.

 

[Cudi]

Croft last two weeks have been very promising, been so involved today.

 

[Testekill]

Croft with his third goal. Probably has been his best game for us

 

[JohnnySteel]

Croft absolute huge day.

much better than last couple weeks, actually calling the game instead of trying to "banter"

 

[Doggies7]

Great to see Croft impacting games now consistently at a much higher level than earlier on in the season. Developing nicely and may be able to play a few at AFL level next year after a big pre-season.

 

[MaxiBont]

Great game.

Thought all the AFL listed players were solid.

Dolan was the standout.

Croft and Walker best games in the VFL I’ve seen.

Harmes, Sellwood, Hynes and Jaques all good.

 

[dogwatch]

Best I've seen Dolan play. He really has some great skills and game sense.

As others have said he won't be playing too many more games at VFL level. Maybe this year but not in 2026.
Could play on almost any line too. It wouldn't surprise me if he ended up in the midfield in a few years' time.

Very pleased to see Croft's improvement.
There's plenty of time for him. We just needed to see some signs that he had the skills ... and he has.

 

[GetDimmaBack]

Walker getting a bit of it today.

Coming along nicely.

 

[Golden_6]

Disappointing to see Davidson have a quiet game. He might struggle to get back into the senior side if guys around him are outperforming at VFL level.

 

[ossie_21]

Smacking the Gants twice in 2 days?

 

[JohnnySteel]

Imagine how good Dolan is going to be once he hits puberty.

 

[DognBones]

A solid win in the end. Harmes was probably best. Dolan showed he's destined for bigger things. Hynes and Jacques were creative. L Smith is a workhorse in the ruck but also works hard around the ground. Davidson a bit quiet, A Jones didn't impact much. The experienced backs held their own but all show signs this is their last season. The team keeps winning and we'll see how good they are against Box Hill next week.
