VFL Round 2 vs Northern Bullants, Whitten Oval 5:35pm

[Oliver G]

Buku about the only one that can gauge the wind.

 

[Oliver G]

Wow.

 

[DognBones]

Poor defensive effort gives Ants their 3rd

 

[TommyD13]

Why is McNeil wearing 58?

[Struggle]

Schache playing forward or back?

 

[DognBones]

Our players don't seem to know how to play their own home ground.

 

[DognBones]

Schache playing forward or back?

Back 1st quarter, forward 2nd.

 

[Testekill]

Lazy by Raak there, he needed to actually tackle since he'd already played on.

 

[dogwatch]

Stop giving the ball to Lewis. Three misses.

 

[Testekill]

How can you not be able to get near the goals when you train on this ground?

 

[DognBones]

Schache kicks out on full from 40 straight in front.

You don’t even need to train there to know to aim to the right.

 

[doggiesin08]

Schache kicks out on full from 40 straight in front.

It was a terrible kick but it was definitely 50m not 40m and it was not straight in front.

 

[Testekill]

You don’t even need to train there to know to aim to the right.

Whitten Oval is infamous for the wind blowing hard into that pocket, how can someone that has trained there for years not aim away from there?

 

[DognBones]

It was a terrible kick but it was definitely 50m not 40m and it was not straight in front.

Whatever the distance he had the wind and we should expect better.

 

[DognBones]

West and Butler standouts close to half time.

 

[dogwatch]

HT 36-28 our way.
Best on ground so far is Khamis IMO.
West has been good and might be getting closer to a recall. Doesn’t panic with the ball.
Butler and Schache ok. McNeil quiet but 3 goals have proved his worth. Jones hasn’t done a lot yet.
Crozier and Williams solid as you’d expect.
Sweet only so-so.

 

[footscray1973]

McNeil getting involved late that quarter, kicking goals and passing well to leading forwards.

 

[DognBones]

Pretty sure McComb got injured in the 1st quarter.

 

[Testekill]

So what's going on with McComb? Stat centre says that he's had exactly 1 tackle and nothing else. Is he even out there?

 

[Testekill]

Buku been doing good work in defence.

 

[Erect]

McNeil 4 goals so far

 

[DognBones]

If we're looking to promote a backman, Khamis looks well ahead of O'Brien at this stage.

 

[Testekill]

McSteal with his fourth. As long as he crumbs and we bolt him to the ground he could be damaging.
