They might get a kick. Vez and cheese didn't get a kick against Port Melbourne

Bedders, you're the VFL expert around here, how are MOD and Gilchrist going?

 

[bedford]

In MOD's case, Werribee had a bye. The mail is that he will get another chance as his form has been very good.
Gilchrist will be back to Amateur footy with his school side in Caulfield Grammer within a couple of years. At the moment he is playing VFL 2's and not going well.

 

[BarneyBent]

Shame about Gilchrist, given how promising his first year was at the club.

 

[bedford]

Why was it promising, too soft to go higher

 

[grimlock]

Red card for Roosy! Brendan Read, I believe and Soph may be able to confirm, used to play for the Belconnen Magpies.

Plenty of Swans in action in the VFL yesterday

Barry Hall kicked 4 and Eddie Barlow 2 (with 3rd best) in Willy seniors while Patty Vesz kicked 5 and was BOG in Willy reserves!

MOD played for Werribee.

Gilly playerd for Box Hill reserves

Anyone besides me think about Ricky Mott when Warnock missed that simple kick?

Not at all as Mott was about 35 out, i was right behind it and it swung late for a behind.

 

[grimlock]

I think you're being kind to big Ricky there bedders, I reckon it was closer to 25 out. I'm still shaking my head 9 years later.

Rocket is still yet to see the actual kick I believe.

 

[bedford]

Got pissed with him the next day at the Bellvue in Paddington the next day, he was not happy. It was also the same day that Plugger made his comeback for Port Melbourne against the Bombers at Windy Hill. A cetain poster on here was giving me updates from there which i was passing on to Eade and he couldn't have given a flying f@@@. He knew the end was near at the Swans, the same as it nearly is at the Bulldogs.

 

[strauchanie59]

I'm sure it was closer to 15-20m out directly in front.

Just logged on to Facebook and up popped the following:

Amon Buchanan and Stefan Carey are now friends.

I just thought this was a weird mix...

Good to see old pumpkin head has at least 1 friend.

Phillips all but kicks the winner against the Tiges!

The Doggies may get a slice of Cheese this weekend.

 

[bedford]

That would be another softie for the dogs. The last time he played at Kardinia Park he absolutely shit himself.

 

[Gus]

He's apparently added some physicality to his game in the VFL. Hopefully. Maybe.

Irregardless, it seems we are already debuting one tall defender this week, so Barlow might have to wait a week. We have another rookie it looks like we are elevating and I can see him getting a game first (Luke Dahlhaus). Seeing as one of our younger guys on the senior list is on the LTI, we can elevate two (one for the injury and one for the allowed rookie upgrade after round 11).

So Ed may have to wait for his shot.

 

[grimlock]

Is Ed really playing as a key defender? I think that's the only spot (besides ruck) that we didn't try him in. Roos obviously didn't think outside the square there!

 

[Gus]

Not key defender, but another tall back there. 3rd tall/rebounding.

I actually haven't seen any VFL games, being a croweater. But this is what I gather from those who have watched.

With Mulligan, a genuine tall defender, debuting this week (apparently) I doubt we'll elevate and play Barlow right away. Cost 25k each to elevate a rookie, so we might not even elevate him in the end. Depending on if the club has the money to do that. I'd imagine if we only elevate one, then the smaller and quicker midfielder in Dahlhaus will get the nod.

Now remember not every past player discussion in here needs to be football related

Grim, would you buy a tractor from this man?

[Swans120]

Haha, is this why he wasn't at the HOF dinner?!?!

Huge shame that, great player for our club. Deserved to get his honour in person.

 

[Gus]

Tomorrow night, it seems.

We elevated two rookies, Ed being one.

Time to re-unfurl the ED banner. Best of luck to him.

Hope Barlow does well, always had a soft spot for him
