VFL Past #77: Heath Hocking - Coach of JHA

[Blind Turn]

I'm not convinced this is a good move. Would rather have players sub-25 who have a chance of being drafted

We’ve lost a lot of AFL experience from the VFL team. Team structures aligned with our senior team are best adhered to with instructive onfield leadership.

When I watched Hocking in the VFL he played a peripheral midfield role - Doubt he'll soak up many midfield minutes.

So we can draft them like we did this year ?
You need a few old hands to help with the young blokes that did get drafted.
It is all about balance and yes you do pick a few who you may want to look at but with no hold on them in the draft there is not a lot of point putting in a lot of time developing them. In fact you would be better paying a scout to follow the VFL in general.
Heath will be good for the side, will not take up time in the midfield and will be a good guiding hand for the young blokes and a big body to offer them some protection.

Funny thing about Evan - got suspended for a few games for taking a piss on the boundary while he was playing for Box Hill lol

I totally missed this! Stoked that Buddha has a role mentoring the youngers - Clark, Guelfi, Mutch, Begley; listen!

Coaching the JHA this year as well as playing in the VFL team. Reasonable outcome for him post-footy

Do not know all the details but have heard the VFL squad / hopeful's got a bit of a touch up from Sunbury.
They play Vermont at the hanger this Friday afternoon/night.

Have heard we only put our potential recruits out there, anybody who's been retained or already signed weren't out there, barring a couple.

Look at this dickhead.

Was fantastic today. His last quarter showed why he's the captain, was a wrecking ball in the middle and was a big reason as to why we won.

So the only time you'll ever concede a point is if you disagree with yourself?
