VFL Game Day Pies v Bendigo at Vic park 1pm Saturday

[Yoda_]

If anyone wants to come say hi, I'm next to the Bendigo bench with a scarf on talking to the man with the camera (Saladin)..

Great to hear that Gumby has taken a contested mark and kicked a goal.

How long could it be before he gets a chance in the AFL?

You'd think it'd be possible to rest a few and bring him in for GWS next week.

 

[Rack Watts]

Hope he kicks a GUMBLETONNE!
How's the Bushranger going?

about 5 weeks

Collingwood well in top in that quarter. Colyer looking very sharp, liking Hunter too. F**king love that scoreboard, so clear

Waiting for the Dreamtime game though...

 

[FighterBomber]

Here @ Mos Aisley aka Vic Park - You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Gumby looking very solid gang!!

 

[Super Gusto]

Exciting to hear Gumby back although it could take a while to get his match fitness up.

Whats the score?

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

Does he look weaponized? It'd be a very good sign if he's stronger through the legs and the core

 

[LuDiCrOuS]

Gumby rested for 2nd half, Browne on.
Apparently (according to blitz) he looks stronger through the legs and core! (Gumby that is)

 

[Rack Watts]

He's definitely rested? lol

Every player returning for Bendigo after a lengthy stint on the sidelines has only got a half in their first or second game so...

And Hunter who played a 1/2 last week came on in the 2nd today to play 3/4, smart move IMO.

 

[ZAAHAARAKIS!!!!!]

very early days in the half i think but how does browne look? healthy returns for gumbo and browne would definitely make my day

 

[VelvetSledge]

Browne looks good, hasn't lost speed
Still looking good in tackles

 

[Call Me Cake]

Booooooooooooooooooooooo

Why take Gumby off?

Gumby is the only reason this whole match matters!

 

[Kong]

Reimers had a good last quarter, Browne looked good, Colyer good, Gumby healthy, Pears likewise.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

And The Bearded Warrior?

 

[Yoda_]

Well that's that.. Bloody good win by the boys today.

Kav Bog, Reimers good, Colyer good in patches to, Dalgleish showed some very promising signs.

Everyone got through unscathed, Hunter, Gumby, Long got through..

Just on my way home (didnt pre book seats ) so I'll do a write up when I get home.

Any questions and I'll happily answer them on the train to fill in time.

A few quick thoughts:
Gumby- just easing his way back, but looks fit and strong. Hopefully he plays chf next week.
Pears- a class above
Kav- way too skinny, but his decision-making is too good for this level
Reimers- good in patches
Who is no.1 for bendigo? Clever forward

 

[BomberTime]

Question for those that went today.

Could we see Kav debut next week against GWS, even as a sub perhaps?

 

[bombermick]

I wouldn't think so. Needs another summer in the gym, and guys like colyer and pears have to be ahead of him. Great signs though ...

 

[Summer Nights]

Pears almost took a screamer in the first. Didn't know he had a leap on him. Moved really well. Kav was good. Reimers started slowly but had a ripPer in the last, winning plenty of hard ball. Gumby also looked confident in his body. Took some grabs and burnt an opponent on the lead in the first to take it out in front and slot it from 45.

 

[BomberTime]

Cheers, good to see Colyer and Pears look a class above and so they should.

Who did Pears play on?

 

[FighterBomber]

I walked away from this game wrapped with our lists, senior and rookie; Kav (class), Merrett (light now, but has ' it'), Dalgleish (thought he was excellent), Gumby (played a solid half and lived), Reimo (solid, really working hard), Pears, Piglet, Long (more class!) and definitely Give em Hal Hunter. Colyer carved them up! Skills high, work ethic high, work rates high. Wrapped!!

I had a crack at Myers the other day but truth be told, he's one of a great list.

 

[bombermick]

Pears spent a lot of time on Taz. Hopefully Gumby presents more next week, he looked hesitant to get into pack situations
