Oxley wont play this weekend is my guess. He'll be the game day emergency

We'll find out in about an hour when the last changes are made in.

Excels at this level, useful back up.
We can’t all be stars at premier level.

"Excels", mate, he hasn't touched it at VFL level, this is his best game so far this year by a mile

 

[jackcass]

Lynch really impressive in that quarter. Mopped up a kick behind the footy, strong marking. Gees he’s come a long way can understand his extension.

 

[The Plowking]

Karnezis was one a couple years ago that was in our bests most weeks but could never perform when called up to the AFL side. It's just how it goes.

I think players need a bit more of a stint to grow into afl pace.
In out in out

Murray is Blues best Player

 

[Gaben]

What’s with Crocker and 3 goals? I had him pegged as a possible delisting.

He's contracted for 2019

No-one gets stuck in Cambodia, they get detained.

Not detained yet altho when i go out to watch the seniors and a 3 hour stint for $6 things might change after that

Curious to know what everyone thinks of lynchs potential?

Anyone think he will be a afl quality ruckman or just going to be depth type? Obviously grundy is our number one ruck and will be for a while yet.

He'll be depth given Cox is a second ruckman.

Bad timing with the siren might Hellier couldn’t play on after a deliberate rush behind. Tucked against the boundary he missed the lot from the near side. Standing closer to goal would have been a better option.

With the breeze having picked up we done well to hold them. It would be worth a couple of goals now.

3/4 time

‘Pies 8.9 57
Them 9.7 61

This isn't going to plan but I'll just take a win from here. Crucial we win this.

We are kicking to the scoring end .
Feels like a slight breeze going our way.

Pies to win by 16 from here. *Hoping

The depth option you’d think.
Behind Cox too.

Seasoned watchers can say if he has other strings to his bow?

Crocker gets his 5th to regain the lead.

 

[barrackers]

Hill takes a hanger kicks into the centre and turnovers it over. Ends with Crocker running into an easy goal. We lead 64-61.

How is Sier playing?

 

[barrackers]

Gallucci makes it hard for his former team, lead out to 7 points. 23 minutes gone.

 

[barrackers]

How is Sier playing?

I’ve liked that he’s got more outside footy, but I’ve seen better games from him. Been more impressed with Wills and C. Brown today.

 

[barrackers]

Lead back down to a single point.

Edit: lead gone, trial by 5, we need a goal now. 26 minutes gone

 

[barrackers]

Blues too tall down back in the final minutes.

Full time

‘pies 10.12 72
Them 11.10 76

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

If tallness was the issue it doesn't bode well for today.

Bugger.

 

[Stoods]

Looks like injuries starting to take effect on the vfl team more so than the AFL team.

 

[Troglodyte]

Great 155 point turn around from last time! Hope the seniors don’t have the post-by blues too. Can’t cope with losing to them twice in a day!

Lobbe, Phillips and McKay have 15cm and 10-20kg on Crocker and Chippendale. Once they gained the lead and flooded back we couldn’t get it past them.
