VFL Footscray 2023 Season

[Dogs_R_Us]

Hard to judge Buss and Clarke as they had interrupted pre-seasons and are first year players. Need some patience with them both.

Nobody was particularly impressed with Arty last year. Doubts were expressed iirc.

 

[doggies ftw]

Could be wrong here but wasn’t Gallagher drafted because his role changed from quiet small forward to a high production half back?

Too bad we don’t desperately need speed off half back so have to play him forward, oh wait…

 

[Lee]

Buku goal. GET HIM IN!!!

 

[Golden_6]

I actually can’t watch these Footscray games. We have 3-4 kids and the rest of the AFL listed players are over 25 VFL standard blokes. So much crap on our list.

 

[W W Biscuit]

Ryan Gardner is really out of sorts.

 

[weltschmerz]

Lachie McNeil loves a Lachie McSteal. To Hannan, who sold some candy, went around the Frankston defender like he was a traffic cone, and ran into an open goal.

Is he playing forward ffs?

 

[DognBones]

This backline can't defend either. Not helped by a losing midfield.

A bit off wing too and quite high at least but from what I’ve seen of him in his few games has been mostly forward…

What the hell are they doing with Raak?

He's shown good signs down back and they play him forward?

So over this s**t.

Yup, in what way is forward a good move for him? Has no attributes for it and there is no spot for him. Crazy

I wish I knew… think it’s just due to a lack of tall forwards playing in the 2’s?

 

[DognBones]

Hannan is class above any of our other forwards at this level but that's as far as it goes for him.

 

[Golden_6]

Hannan & O’Brien are the only ones putting their hands up for selection. Great…

 

[Nat Fyfe]

I hope we can retain him in our VFL side next year (assuming he's delisted). Outstanding state level player, just a pity he can't translate that form to the seniors

 

[Foxman98]

Well this is depressing Hannan TOB and McComb the best 3

 

[W W Biscuit]

I really like Ewan Macpherson's game. In everything.

Is he playing mid?

We’re in desperate need of a hard nosed small defender in the AFL side. We need to be looking at the state leagues for someone who can step into Duryea’s role longer term. They don’t have to stand out at the lower levels to be able to play that role.

Yes, in the guts. Head over the ball and extracting.

 

[Here we go dogs]

Gallagher looks a player. Looks to have some speed. Don’t think it will be long before he is at afl level.

Khamis doesn’t do enough, but feel it’s to much to expect him to be the number 1 forward target. I would’ve liked to see a few more games paired with Darcy.

 

[DognBones]

We stepped up our pressure and got on top around the packs in the 2nd. Hannan, O'Brien, McComb going well. Gardner got a bit more of it but didn't seem to have an opponent for much of the quarter. Poulter, Smith, Crozier, McNeil and Sweet all contributing. A couple of spots in seniors up for grabs, so 2nd half will be interesting.

 

[dergert]

Poulter just isn't damaging enough imo. A lot of dinky kicks and handballs.

His one that looks better the higher the level he plays IMO.

 

[Testekill]

25 to 11 frees, just what you'd expect from the VFL

 

[Bulldogs85]

Umpires are trash at this level
