Port Melbourne v BENDIGO BOMBERS

[Runk]

I wouldn't stress on it too much. CJ and Lee will be delisted. There is no two ways about it. They are gone. As well as Pev, Johnno, Mal. % spots at least for new blood.

Agreed.

VFL makes no difference at all...

If you actually watch VFL, its like watching U12's footy.

Nearly every AFL Listed player who plays in the 2's will only put in 50%.

Mal Michael got 5-6 goals kicked on him yesterday.
Jay Neagle, before he got selected for seniors, kicked 0 the week before in the VFL.
Jason Johnson, yeah he gets a hell of a lot of the ball, but his work ethic is terrible in the
Scott Gumbleton, bearly lifts a finger, but somehow gets 3 goals a game.

Getting to my point, getting sent to play in the VFL is pretty much an insult to most AFL players, why should it be any different for Lee, so what he
doesn't get as many BOG's as most players, I wouldn't put in 100% either if I were sent down to play depressing footy.

A classic crap post.




U12s hey? That means the WAFL must be at about U9s level?..... hey! i coach an U9s team. Does that mean I could caoch a WAFL side???

I wouldn't have thought any one would take the exaduation so seriously...

It helped make my point, if you need an explanation.

Just a point, not really defending Johns or Lee but more guys like lonergan, neagle and gumbleton.

I actually remember a long time ago, just when Mark Johnson started playing AFL, he said something along the lines of it was almost easier to get a kick in AFL because others around you are more skilled.

Of course it's harder and faster then VFL but the skills of others around you can make it more difficult to play VFL then some areas of AFL.

If Dyson plays seniors this week I will be bitterly disappointed. Did nothing but stuff around and handball at peoples feet, lost count at the amount of times he squibbed a contest (first qtr especially).

I agree, I never want to see him in the seniors again.

I watch the game mainly because I want to see him dominate but was dissapointed AGAIN. It was a poor showing from a player that is struggling to get into the team. Just dosn't seem to work hard enough to be a outside runner (Stanton type) and is too weak minded and bodied to go and get his own footy.

You'd think that a bloke who was the last person drafted (or about that) in a national draft would consider themselves lucky of a chance to live their dream and therefore do whatever it takes to ensure they became a truly respected footy player. That being said, you can't bag him too much as he's never really had the ticker nor the skill. Clearly the late pick was justified and a bit of a gamble.
