I find that really odd. Obviously I don't watch St Kilda religiously, but he was one of their youngsters I rated as quite promising.

Just don't think he has quite found a position yet. HAs played in a variety of positions but again, according to my Saints mate suggests he's lazy and doesn't work hard enough. Get found out pretty quickly with an attitude like that

Apart from being one of the better kicks of the footy, there's not THAT much to him tbh. They've tried him at both ends to pretty limited success.

Game has deteriorated into an absolute dogfight, sandy struggling to get it out of their half, franga can't convert

If Frankston could convert, they would have killed this contest half way through the first quarter.

The former AIS - AFL academy kid Shannon Taylor has some serious wheels about him. Watchlist for sure

That's him in the #2 yeah? decent leg for a little man I had pegged as a speed machine

Kitchin is a class act act vfl level

Thought #2 was Taylor

sneak edit, had the right bloke but 2 looked like 7 from the side.

Courageous from Ziggy

Ha! Sandy deprived right on the siren of a shot.

Stiff for Kenny Ong. With a name like Kenny Ong you feel for the bloke.

Nah i think he's definitely 2, kicked that goal running from where the 50 meets the boundary line.

remember 18 months ago when Billings was roving at Joe's feet for Vic Metro and we were all saying 'we need to get Billings to Essendon'?

That needed to happen

Siposs was a late draft selection at Pick 72. Started off his career better than expected but finding a position seems to be an issue. Siposs is a beautiful kick.

Are Richmond going to be wearing the reverse guernsey for all games? Saw a few pictures from their game against Footscray and they were in the yellow with black sash guernsey.

That was an away game for them though, so I figure it could be different when they play at home.

Good to see footy return to the Whitten/Western Oval, on a side note.

The VFL is in a strong position at the moment.

- The return to Punt Rd.
- A strong Williamstown stand alone.
- Footscray back.
- Frankston hopefully back amongst it after years in the dark.
- Collingwood, Essendon, Geelong all being strong VFL clubs.
- North Ballarat have Gerald Fitzgerald so right them off at your own peril.
- Box Hill continue to keep on keeping on.

Josh Scipione is quality.

It pains me to watch shinners run around for Werribee in that ridiculous jumper

Like the Port Melbourne recruiting. Magner, Marigliani, Michialaides (sp?), Fanning, Will Johnson, Tynan can all play.

How did Magner not get games for Melbourne?

How did Magner not get games for Melbourne?

No idea. Dominated for Casey week in week out too and still never got picked. Him and Tom Couch were too good for VFL.

 

[Doss]

Extremely limited footballer at AFL level.

He also seemed like a bit of a tool.

Yes, but at Melbourne.

The VFL ladder is a little compromised at present, because Box Hill and Williamstown played their Round 15 game (which clashes with the FOXTEL Cup) preceding Round 1, I believe.

Anyway, here it is: http://www.foxsportspulse.com/comp_info.cgi?c=1-118-0-294689-0&pool=1&a=LADDER

We're currently in sixth.

ant555, I notice you're online!

Have you had a chance to see much of our VFL side this year? Thoughts on what you've seen so far if so?

Caught me on a rare visit
Have seen 3 games, injuries have made it a bit of a mixed bunch but of the listed guys.

Ambrose - patchy return last week but i liked what i saw in round 1&2.
Aylett- pretty good so far, love the fact he tackles like a mad man.
Fantasia - have thought his kicking has been below what he showed at under 18 level but does find a bit
of the ball and has done some smart things.
Dalgleish- bit off the pace since his return from injury.
Edwards - can do some very smart things, consistency and concentration are the only things holding him back.
Thurlow -has not been great so far after a promising NAB game.
Rayner - like the look of this bloke, not a long kick but uses the ball well and looks to have a good handle on the game plan.

Dont think Obrien or Colyer will make it. Gregory defends ok but still a way off.Not super keen on any of the VFL listed players making it
onto the list.

What are your thoughts on Ali Kefferd? Seems to be a bit of a buzz player for eth-dog

I like Tagliabue more . He's the one I think could get a rookie gig somewhere, his tapwork is very tidy.

Northern Blues lost to Coburg. How the **** can you do that?
