VFL Round 2 - Essendon vs Collingwood at Windy Hill (Pies lost 38-118, replay in OP)

[Maggie5]

Forgot one good news story, was standing next to a young boy that now hero worships McClarty, had two earplugs and had met McClarty (apparently the story was on Page 3 of The Hun yesterday). Was there with whole family cheering loudly and dad showing photos of the article to all who were around him.

Poor performance though, should not be losing by that much, reckon it will take this new VFL setup 5-6 weeks to figure things out.

That's about as long as it took us to get going last year. And we ended up doing alright. So it's not all doom and gloom yet.

So after today's game, anyone close to AFL? Scharenburg?

Literally no one even deserves to be talked about for promotion unless we have injuries or suspensions

Scharenberg would be a good match up for Menzel next week IMO.

We have to hope blokes like Wells and Reid can back up off a 5 day break

The only way I can see Wells doing it well is if he gets limited game time at AFL level... which isn't ideal.

McLarty was good but needs to build up Fitness to play AFL. He did miss just about the whole pre-Season so no Shock

Where did you get that idea Dave?

 

[loki04]

Yep, in the second quarter, guys with the headsets on and another with an ipad. Very depressing.

Huh? Sitting on the bench listening to tunes and playing an ipad? or was he watching coaching footage on Ipad?

 

[El cane]

5 day break.

Oh for the love of honey, we should rest most of the seniors team against the cats in the hope we're ripe to take on the blues

 

[Apples]

The AFL team was disinterested and lethargic last week and now the VFL team follows suit. But we can relax, there are no problems with our list.

 

[Rorzza]

Out hunted all day, Kim Jong-un has a better chance of hitting regular targets than our midfield!

Article in Herald Sun regarding game if anyone wants to post on BF.

That's great. Oh man I hope he makes it, he seems like such a quality kid and his success would be an inspiration to many.

 

[frizzle]

Won't matter, 6 day break to the Cats. Short of us playing the geelong vfl team, we have little chance to run out next week's game anyway. Well actually I'm not sure we can beat the cats vfl team either

We can hardly kick a goal in a last quarter & will be playing against a team that come home like a train when we play the cats. Wont be pretty.

Sounds familiar:
'They scored three goals from kick ins and ten from turnovers (out of 18)...' - Brad Gotch.

Huh? Sitting on the bench listening to tunes and playing an ipad? or was he watching coaching footage on Ipad?

Think it was coaching footage and telling other officials with headsets that I presume were connected to coaching box. All standing, no room on the bench.

So after today's game, anyone close to AFL? Scharenburg?

I think he is ready, also the fool JDG is more than ready.

Scharenberg would be a good match up for Menzel next week IMO.

Are you joking? Menzel tore him apart in his comeback game a couple of years ago. He is too quck and powerful. Sometimes I think there is another Scharenberg playing and I have been watching the wrong one.

 

[TradeDraft]

People Bagged Aish today but I thought he was better then last weeks effort

 

[domus]

So it seems from what I have read, that just like the seniors, the VFL boys cannot impact the scoreboard and their skill level by foot is crap. At least we are all on the same page.

 

[TradeDraft]

Where did you get that idea Dave?

Seeing him Start Well and not a Strong Finish and coming off Absolutely Bugger when he comes off at least once a Qtr

True, the next step for Aish this year is to do the good work across 4 full quarters.

Two years is a long time in football......cough Keeffe......cough cough Thomas.

 

[barrackers]

Was good to see Kirby, McCarthy and Cox in the huddle. Kirby had a bit of strapping across his palm, but it didn't look swollen.

Menzel would be too quick for shaz at this stage of the season, the blues game l would give him a run in
