Autopsy VFL Elimination Final v Williamstown. Saturday Sept 2nd. 3pm @DSV Stadium. Charlie Dean's return!

[ElliottsMaggies]

Wow, lots of negativity.

Lots of tackling was a positive. Bianco, Allan, Jetta & most of the VFL listed players all tried their heart out. Dean did well for his first game back after 500+ days. But compared to last week, they just looked off today. No connection. Fumbling. Couldn't mark. Couldn't kick. And Williamstown obviously know how to play to the conditions at their ground. I don't think there will be any surprises about who will be delisted. At least I hope not.

Dean was my only Positive.

For a Guy Missing the Whole Season he did a Good Job

I thought he did well in his first game back as well mate.

 

[Harry O]

Well when we where so s**t

The wind at that ground is such a huge advantage for Willi. Very hard to adjust too

 

[Jen2310]

Fin clearly was tired. He barely trained after playing two games last week. Had a stronger 2nd gang though.

Allan was good early then fell away.
Ruscoe and Bianco our most experienced afl listers were strong as usual.

As a whole nothing went right. Skill errors. Kicking. Goal kicking. Turnovers. If everything could have went wrong. It did.

Overall they had a good season. Won the last 9/12 games. We have a young group whom would have learnt from this year.

Didn’t see the game and that just as well….but had a great second half of the season. Ideally when the seniors make finals you’d like the vfl side to at least make it to the second round to maintain continuity fitness form and dep5h availability….but round one will have to do.

Not sure the VFL team travelling to QLD next week would have been ideal for the senior squad

No offence to the VFL team, but I’m surprised anyone cares about this result.

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

I see zero chance of him making it.

Was a most peculiar draft pick. I get the Ben Reid connection, but suspect they'll never listen to Ben again.

Except at the 2010 premiership reunions

Where there will be adoration for our All Australian champion swingman

Pretty poor post from you tbh jmac. You may not be interested, but many of us are. I’m also aware you don’t really watch other games other than the pies, but many of us just love footy

I’d you don’t like it, don’t watch it. The clubs next generation players play vfl, so we should care of results and how they play

If it is black and white I will watch.

I heard a story of Ben Reid getting kicked out of a Wangaratta nightclub in the ungodly hours of a saturday night

He was met with shock when he asked the bouncer "Don't you know who I am?"

If Ben was manhandled he probably did his shoulder and had a leg amputated

I'm a little concerned that Steene (4) and Begg (17) combined for 21 hitouts. Meanwhile, Downie had 35.

It was worse then usual in a VFL thread today. At least it didn't get to the heights of a AFL Gameday Thread.

You did your best but you seemed to lack conviction today. I expect that you'll be ready to go this thursday.....

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

He's a much more experienced ruckman than Begg/Steene, a 6'8" beast of a man. Won Willy's b&f last year and selected in the VFL team of the year for 2022 & 2023.

i dont anyone really cares. We're just practising our game day comments for this thursday....

Jmac. Come on. Who is “anyone”? If you don’t care, just move on. If you have a struggle understanding why some people care, use your imagination- there are more things in life than just the seniors.

We have a lot of AFL players in the VFL team. It was a final. They played great last week. Why wouldn't we want to see our reserves do well?

I'm impressed that Begg got 17

Well longer the VFL Team might of Gone help keep Players not in Best 22 Match Fitness

Love Watching the Develpoment of good young Prospects like Steene-Allan-Ryan-Draper

Steene is still Very Skinny and Begg is Undersized for Number 1 Ruck

Do you think Draper is going to be on the list next year? I don't see it personally.

100% I do.

Was really his 1st Full Season at the Club.

Had some bad Moments but showed quite a Bit of Upside

IF Draper does get De-Listed then here are some Players I think should go before him:

• Kelly
• Murley
• Wilson
• Richards
• Bianco

The only thing that matters is next Thursday
