Josh Prudden named Captain and Anthony Scott named Vice-Captain

 

[dogwatch]

Shouldn’t Prudden be called the High Priest rather than the Captain?

Or has the Church of Prud been dismantled?

Found not to be the Messiah at all ,

Can just picture him astride a donkey riding down Barkley st , with all the BIgfooters waving Palm leaves !

True. Josh turned out to be just a good wholesome young kid. How could we have been so misguided?

At least he wasn't "just a naughty boy". That one went to Essendon.

Jesse Glass McCasker is actually a new signing for Footscray. Was the no.1 AFL rookie in 2015 and on Carlton‘s list under Bolton for three years without being given a game. Played for Swannies in WA last year. 197cm 95kgs agile, fast and athletic, can go either end.

 

[VitalDread]

Liam Nash and Robbie Mcombe also are returning

 

[ivan rassmussen]

Was the bloke with long hair playing yesterday who looked like Angelo Lekkas a VFL player? Never got a clear shot at his number, looked like either 31 or 37, and obviously wasn’t Dale or R Smith?

Long dark hair is Nash I think.

Yeah I’d say that was Nashy. VFL gun

How did he go

 

[ivan rassmussen]

How did he go

Looked slightly out of his depth to me, but partly due to being ignored as an option and not really looking confident enough to get involved as well. Skills seemed ok, just hardly got the chance.

Sounds very similar to a few games last year. Has good skills and hard at it but needs to believe in his own ability.
Sadly fringe AFL players tended to be a little selfish the last two seasons which may have knocked his confidence .

Don’t think it was selfishness, just opting for an option they know better. The Bulldogs boys train together all the time, but other than VFL game day, how often would they train with him?

 

[VitalDread]

Nash is a pure inside midfielder
Just a ball getter on the side and sadly doesnt have the best kick

 

[Yojimbo]

Jamaine Jones signed SSP with West Coast Eagles, so cross him off the list.

Two JJ's would have been awkward anyway.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Jamaine Jones got picked up by West Coast

 

[ossie_21]

Echo..

would have been handy to see what he could bring, but at least he’s gone to a club with a massive lack of depth in the small forward position

 

[VitalDread]

Tate Short and Dilon Vojo-Rainbow also are returning this season

 

[VitalDread]

Footscray will play their first practice match this weekend against Williamstown at 1pm at Whitten Oval
