VFL Race to the Frosty Miller Medal (2017) - all square, head to head shoot out Sat. #kickittothekirb

[barrackers]

After today Kirby has a 6 goal lead with three rounds remaining. Can he become the first 'pie to win the Jim "Frosty" Miller Medal? It looks a race between four and although Richmond play the day after us in round 19 we could yet see a head to head (Kirby vs Conway / Lisle) battle at Olympic Park.

VFL goal kicking tally 2017:

Ladder:

 

[loki04]

Are we officially out of the race for vfl finals yet? Or still a mathematical chance?

Great effort by Kirby especially given his effort to "catch up" and drop a few kilos after christmas break.

 

[THATSGOLD]

We should sign Dylan Conway next year and we can win a vfl premiership with Kirby and Conway up forward.

The ladder in the post above yours (which seems to be up to date) says we are just one win out of the eight, and with a better percentage than the eighth placed team (Werribee). Yesterday's game really was a classic "eight-point game".

We play bottom-placed North Ballarat at Victoria Park next week, and Essendon (7th) play Box Hill (1st), while Werribee (8th) play Williamstown (2nd), so fair to say things are falling into place nicely for us. Apart from the injury/suspension issues for the senior side, which will probably have repercussions for this team! There's three rounds to go, we should be a great chance to make it.

Still in the race.

Indeed, if the results of next week go as expected, we will be in the eight (al beit on percentage), with a fortnight to go.

Our last two games beyond next week will be on home soil (al beit on the indifferent hunting ground of Olympic Park), against opponents we have good records against. We are in this up to our necks...

Collingwood hasn't won a VFL flag since 1958 so I think that's a great idea.

Just quietly, someone from Collingwood media (probably lukem ) has jumped on the bandwagon:

Looks like you made a thing MagpieBat

Cheers wasn't sure if the vfl was top 6 given lesser teams in it.

I just wish they would adopt my (and our) idea of #bringbackthevflreplay...

Agree, great effort although I think some thanks has to go to Apex36 for his "Hugs for Kirby" campaign.

I contributed to his weight loss by chasing him around the oval at the Holden centre trying to hug him.

 

[JB1975]

Average of 2.71 goals. Kirbs is still the moral leader...

That's why they didn't pursue the intervention order. You were of more use to them as a fat burner...

So, you're getting on the piss the night before a big game?

Dat cult-chah...

 

[Kirby]

Red wine is much more slimming than beer

Jordan Lisle what a campaigner

Kirby has a Game in Hand

Only Kicked 1 so I doubt he won the Frosty Miller Now

Reminds me of the Casey game. Just not really on from the start. Dropped a simple chest mark on the lead in the 1st and 2nd or 3rd. Lacked spring in the chase at times.

 

[Apex36]

He's still leading...
