[bedford]

Willy come from behind to beat the dolphins. Excellent playing surface.

 

[Shonuff77]

An arm wrestle at Chirnside Park. Footscray pinch the win in the last minute. Heartbreaking for Werribee.

 

[Shonuff77]

Jacob Dawson has 19 possessions at qtr time. He'll destroy the record at this rate.

 

[troybe]

Todd Goldstein pretty underwhelming

wat? Essendon not playing

if I have counted correctly, just as many Southport players have been on an AFL list as Carlton's VFL team tonight

We live in weird times. Watched the coverage last night and Southport had up to 10 players that could play AFL next week while we look like stand-alone club. The problem is that since the list sizes have been reduced I think the quality of footy has declined. We now have a combination of kids not ready to play seniors, old vets on the way out that should be in the reserves but still playing seniors and rookie b players learning the game but who should play be starting at park footy like Jim Stynes did

Great crowd in at Coburg today.

Mentioned on the coverage but Collingwood VFL KPF Riley Mason has been added to the VFL squad for gathering round rep match

Free flowing entertaining game at Coburg City Oval. Very good crowd added to the atmosphere.

 

[MRobbo]

I was at final game at punt road oval before redevelopment yesterday.
Richmond were very good they had only 10 AFL Listed players compared to Brisbane 15.
It was interesting day with no working siren at the ground.

Have been tracking the best under 24 player of the year, can find round 1 and round 2 in the mature agers thread on the drafts, trading and free agency board. Will post here as well as a bit of a discussion point as well and always up for debate &/or advice




#1 Riley Mason - Collingwood VFL (UP 2 SPOTS)

moves back into the number 1 spot after a terrific outing today for the Magpies in a see sawing game at Barry Plant Park (Coburg home ground). Managed to catch about 80% of this game on the box and he was terrific. Took some wonderful contested marks, kicked truly. Was even mentioned in the broadcast he has been added to the VFL state squad for next weeks representative game against the Croweaters.

#2 Massimo Raso - Richmond VFL (UP 3 SPOTS)
The little terrier was apparently terrific for the VFL Tigers in a big upset win over the often powerful Brisbane Lions reserves. Kicked 3, had 11 touches, 2 inside and rebound 50s showed his silliness to work up and back the ground. Being 171cm is the big slight at the moment. 5 goals from 3 matches is one to watch

#3 Nick Williams - Southport (NEW TO LIST)
his 20 year old is quietly putting together a fairly consistent start to the season. Another high teens game with largely positive influence. Has been named in the bests in 2/3 games so doing the coaches direction well. A quiet MSD chance?

#4 Riley Baldi - Casey Demons (DOWN 3 SPOT)
Well beaten today with the 15 possessions in a tough loss on the road to the Cats. Never stopped trying with 3 marks and 4 tackles to go along with his 15 touches.

#5 Tom Macarthy - Richmond (NEW TO LIST)
The 24 year old has quietly gone about his business and enters as a real smoky for the MSD. Started as a skinny rangy outside player but has moved more inside and is leading the young VFL tigers well. Just over 22 touches a game, 4 I50's and 4 marks a game, he is one to keep an eye out.

Some honourable mentions for the round;

Ethan Williams from Sandringham had 29 possessions (assuming a large amount of kick ins consider the 29 kicked by Gold Coast?) and 12 rebound 50's. He sits JUST outside my 5 at the moment after a solid first three games.

Josh Hamilton (Northern Bullants) Had another 29 touches, He probably sits outside my top 5 as not named in the bests by coaches despite a big stats day.

Jackson Voss (Frankston) is a father son to St.Kilda and posted during the night that I think he has attributes to play at the highest level. 26 on Saturday night, 11 marks (largely intercepting)5 rebound 50s so one to keep an eye on for the year.

Ollie Lowe (North Melbourne VFL) had a big day with 29 possessions, 8 marks and 2.0. Had a decent past fortnight to put his name as one to watch.

Jovan Petric (Williamstown) is a 21 year old key forward who did a bit of everything this weekend. 3.0, 17 possessions, 6 marks, 5 inside 50s and 5 hitouts. One to watch if he can continue to build on a reasonable enough start to the year.

Had a couple of hiccups from guys on my radar, Luca Muratore, the mature ager returning to the VFL kicked 4 in round 1 had 1 possession. Assuming injured this round? Flynn Young was well held to 7 possessions and 1.0.

Anyone impress you on the weekend ?

Saw Southport on the weekend , Nick Williams , Zac Foot and Josh Gore must have the best goal kicking record for a small forward not to play AFL outside Sam Lowson if you add in his SANFL stats

Tonight on VFL Rewind the boys will review round 3 and look ahead to the state games this weekend on Radio 3WBC 94.1FM. Also via TuneIn Radio App and www.3WBC.org.au

time for Sandy to go stand alone

time for Sandy to go stand alone

I don't think Sandy has the support to go stand alone.

St Kilda have killed them

St. Scum might kill themselves

 

[MortlockWatcher]

Playing in the Southern league as a standalone entity would be better than suffering the appalling treatment they are enduring now.

 

[Dogs till i die]

Hope Sandy stick up for themselves - don't play at Moorabbin and don't wear St.Kilda jumpers.

Go standalone, whether in the SFNL or VFL, don't give up nearly 100 years of "Sandy".

 

[Flyingleslieskite]

I don't think Sandy has the support to go stand alone.

St Kilda have killed them

I dont think they do either but it'd be better than being absorbed by St Kilda

I think it's a bit more complicated than the amount of people that attend now.

I know a lot of Willy people, including me, stopped attending when Willy aligned with Collingwood. I was horrified when Willy played at the MCG in Pies jumpers in an AFL curtain raiser. I had no interest in barracking for Collingwood listed players, particularly when they were elevated and played against the Dogs the next week.

This is the problem with aligned clubs, particularly if you have no emotional attachment in, or even dislike, their aligned AFL partner.

Maybe it's the same for Sandringham. Perhaps real Sandringham people may return if they went stand alone?

Sandringham have been aligned since like 1999...... thats a very long time to try and bring folk back. Whatever the old Sandringham was is well and truly dead

Only good thing there is the steaks

 

[EconomicDecline]

For all those having a sook, should we bring up Box Hill and Casey (Springvale)? Those teams are exactly what St Kilda is proposing with Sandringham.
