VFL VFL 2023 - [Rnd11 vs * - Sunday June 4 - 1:35pm @NEC Hangar]

[buttox]

I am quite impressed that they were able to hide until now.

We may not have had many play.
A match report would be nice.

 

[Merlin007]

So what you’re saying is that we can no longer trust GR...

Heretic, begone sinner, never to return

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Just hoping Comben & Edwards get to play together!

 

[RobZombie]

Just hoping Comben & Edwards get to play together!

School sport is back this week, but Eddo should be available for the last 2 weeks of the VFL.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Hmm trying to not get excited about something that may not have happened, but maybe his performance in this phantom scratchie was used as another part of the basis for the 'Charlie Comben is smashing the door down' comment in the AFL in the mix article this week.

Was my first thought too.

Yeah it’s weird that we didn’t at least just have a throw away line in one of the articles this week stating who played in the scratch match on the weekend

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Another bit of evidence there might have been a scratchie on the weekend from the article about our interest in Weideman:

"They have been buoyed by the progression of second-year tall forward Charlie Comben in recent scratch matches having returned from a serious leg injury earlier this month."

Note the use of the plural matches. Interesting that there's been no details emerge about it.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Not on kayo this week

Fingers crossed for a stream on our YouTube to watch the first half before the senior side

 

[hellas_johnny]

Any word on if walkers quarantine would be done by this game? Also does Edwards have school footy this week

covered in another thread; there was a scratch on the weekend, presumably top secret for covid reasons

Which thread, mate? Honestly though, the only player I'm really that interested in at this point is Comben. Any idea how he went?

Covered in the top secret thread, as stated.

It’s a secret.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Sorry, broke the first rule

Huh.

Any chance it's a different J Edwards? Odd that the club neither bolded his name in the squad nor mentioned him at all.

It’s the club making a mistake not bolding it

If only the afl could at least write his first name correctly, is it too much to ask for afl media to get that right
