VFL Round 6, 2018: Sandringham v Essendon - TBB Oval, Sunday 13th May, 2:00PM AEST

[SaintsSeptember]

After last week back in the game after a looooong break, i'd kind of suspect that Freeman may have gone into the game this week a bit fatigued.
Credit to him for making a big impact again.
I'd love to see him play , but i kind of think the guys who want to give him a bit longer are probably right.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

All true.

Geary is a protected species.

Costs us goals every week. A liability we cannot gloss over nowdays.

Give Geary a run-with roll in the guts.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Yep I'm for it too. Valid points made + what have we got to lose.

Our inside mids are all pretty ordinary at winning the contested ball. McKenzie will be less than ordinary.

I'd be happy with that, provided Rice gets a run in the back line.

 

[PaddysurDaddy]

don't think mckenzie has the craft to be an inside mide, fumbly, awkward, not very agile. wing though could work

unlike acres who's big and not lightning quick, mckenzie doesn't have the ability to find space in tight

imo

 

[Joffaboy]

I thought that Francis was better than Gresham and Carlisle rolled together.

Please refer to point B: "what have we got to lose"

Fine. Same logic says Lonie should be in there.

Sure thing. But if I'm making the call, I'm giving the guy who DOESN'T have the body of a 7 year old a crack at it first.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Gears as an inside mid extractor isn't a bad thing
U know he has the legs to go and the lungs to last

Interesting option

My favourite Monday night cameo from grimlock

Bless.

Thanks mate, love you work.

Do you know who gives the best on field ratings?

The wash-up:

Rice 30 disposals, 6 R50s
Freeman 28 disposals, 5 R50s
Paton 22 disposals, 5 tackles, 6 I50s
White 21 disposals, 9 R50s
Lonie 20 disposals, 6 tackles, 6 I50s
Austin 14 disposals, 6 marks, 6 R50s
Longer 40 hitouts, 5 tackles

Looks like Freeman is playing behind the ball a lot (5 R50's) with Paton playing more in the forward half (6 I50's).

There's a couple of potential spots available so the race is on between White & Rice for the backline and Freeman & Paton in the midfield.

billy longer still getting * all of it. not good.

I think that big lewie pierce should be second in line for ruck duties, he's probably gonna end up being the VFL team of the year ruckmen the way he's going

Had 13 disposals (7 kicks), 4 marks, 4 tackles and 33 hitouts for what was probably his worst statistical game this year

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

No was not in Social Club but with other Social club members on the wing near coaches box.
Yes did see the Umpire do it commented about the overall direction it has taken with standard of football in
general , beautiful day , ground in great order , just rubbish tactics & execution .
Jumped in car heard interesting statistic this is the lowest scoring season 8 rounds AFL / VFL since 1968.

Even TAC games are low scoring rubbish.

Its true. Its not just us.

*Langlands back in so soon after a hamstring?

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Good to see Minch get a run. I don't expect him to make the cut at the end of the year, but he deserves a chance to have a shot at it.

 

[borderbarry]

I am surprised Pearce is playing. I saw him go off holding his hammy in the last quarter of the televised Frankston game a couple of weeks ago.

Might have got kicked in the leg.
