A bit too tall and wish Colina wasn't playing, but otherwise looks pretty good

 

[Football Tragic]

I'm almost looking forward to watch this game than the AFL game. Hopefully Smilie plays out a full game and forces his way into the AFL team next game plus Alger and Sims kick a bag each. Blight and Sonsie are bound to have blinders too, given their determination to fight their way back into the main team.

Should be a great spectacle.

I am 100% more interested in this one. Blight being named down back in VFL, I guess that puts to bed the theory he was going back to work on his forwardcraft.

 

[captain blood 17]

Just wait till we get Lefau and the lads back in this squad.

 

[Barnzy]

Smillie, Kane, Sonsie VFL midfield. That's about 90 touches right there

No probably about it. Might be the strongest team we put out all year if Smillie dominates

 

[tiger_tough]

Strong line up. The colina inclusion weakens us though.

 

[Baltastan]

Very strong side named, deadset looking forward to this more then the seniors.

Careful what you wish for. Last season we were flying with the VFL list mostly playing. Afl Listed started coming back and all downhill from there. But agree strong squad. Just knew yze would set up blight to fail. One bad half straight out unreal.

If we’re serious we should dish out a flogging here. That’s the best way to get the selectors attention.

 

[Jozzy]

Anyone know whether this game will be streamed or available to watch?

 

[Stylo]

Should be on the AFL app/website

 

[voorhees]

smillie to ramp up that playing time.
Fingers crossed McAuliffe can have a strong game and push for senior selection.
Keep the positive 'winners' ball rolling on!

Frankston is my second team, watched all games this year and the two biggest strengths are contested ball. The midfield quartet of Mynott, Murphy, Hipwell and Reidy have been the strong point of the Dolphins year.

The forward mix has improved exponentially in the last 18 months. Corey Ellison (back from Williamstown), Noah Gown (former Bomber) and the returning Josh Smith form a considerable aerial threat surrounded by some pretty dynamic smalls. Blake and Taryn O'Leary, Seb Quirk and Matt Johnson (who is apparently on some AFL clubs radar), along with Carlton father/son potential Bailey Lambert (25)

The biggest strength of the Dolphins this year has been the defensive group from half back. Jackson Voss, Tyson Milne, Taine Barlow all doing great things.


With no elite "star" power, Frankston relies on team grit than overpowering domineering games.

Hope this helps, I'll be heading down to this one. Speaking to someone at the club and they are expecting 5,000 - 7,000 at Kinetic stadium on Friday night so get in early.

Two local MPNFL games on Friday that could lead into this bonanza on Friday night.

Go Dolphins

Bailey Lambert?? Potential Carlton father/son ???

 

[sanaya]

far out, not just all of those afl ins, but the vfl ins of moutaz & garner . team is looking VERY strong, way more excited for this than the afl game

if only yassine wasn't omitted and played instead of colina that forward line would be ****ing perfect

Yassine is stiff , he’s looked good in all the games he’s played in. AFL listed players will always get preference.
I actually thought we might continue to rotate the 2 Cat B ruckman. No Ryan this week prob got them both a gig.

If yassine could stay involved for 4qtrs he’d get an AFL gig for sure. Every time he gets it good things happen.

 

[Daka]

Strong side, I can't see the VFL team losing.

Potential is a bit of a reach but he is father/son eligible. Craig's son.. IS he not Carlton? I always thought he was...

 

[PetterdHoisted]

If this VFL team played our AFL team...genuine contest

Craig played 120+ games for Richmond.

Craig played 120+ games for Richmond.

vfl would dominate tbh
