Carn Geelong.

 

[dools911]

Tasmania 73 to Geelong 71 halfway through the 3rd quarter.
Been a close game the whole time. Really impressed by Mckenna.
Liked the part at halftime when they had a flashback to 1961 and they played a game Vics vs WA.

Team looked terrible compared to last year. Votes would be Moles, Davenport, Byrne, Hogan, Tenace.

- Moles looks all class as a HFF. Very powerful and good skills. I think he struggles for endurance though.
- Davenport was good, looks very Robert Harvey (07/08) in that he runs, finds space and sets up play but not really good in an under and not great in a contest.
- Hogan has improved some what and is now a good player in the VFL but still too skinny.
- Tenace was very good down back.
Byrnes missed a goal and disposal was poor at times but had great poise.

Key forward were not great today.

Moles looks good, tough body, smart player. He is 22 though I think.

Agree that Hogan is now a good VFL player, but I can't see him retaining a spot on our list really.

 

[Higgo]

had to have a chuckle when Shannon Byrnes had a kick at goal from 40 metres out on a slight angle and the ABC commentators said 'Byrnes eats these for breakfast'... clearly breakfast isn't his favourite meal of the day.. although he did kick that one...

Shame we lost, I didn't think tassie were suppose to be any good either. Did Pris play?

No - he was at the game today

How many of last year's VFL premiership team played? The reason I ask is that in the GF rematch against Coburg apparently only 4 or so of the 22 were there.

Against Coburg it was 6 I believe.
I think 4 against Tassie.

 

[The rabbi]

Did Simpson play?

Not the real big one but the smaller big one.

Heh, I did love how Terry Wallace was talking up the fact that Coburg beat "the reigning premiers" in round 1. Very optimistic is Terry. Always looks on the bright side of things.

good to see donohue in the best. for anyone who saw the telecast, how did he play?

If Prissa was playing he would have got BOG. Haha
Anyone know if there will be a replay of the match on ABC2? I can't find it in the tv guide.

Yes, I'm sure your psychic skillz are helpful... But too bad, he didn't play!

Nah no replay, apparently they've stopped showing them because there was no national interest in them.

Whattt???! You're kidding me. Awww I'm annoyed. I thought i'd tape the seniors and watch the VFL later when it was replayed... turns out dad didn't set the tape right so I missed the seniors and now I don't even get to watch the VFL. NOT HAPPY!

If BOGs in the VFL meant anything Prismall would have played 30 games by now!

I was referring to the thread that was started last week about Prismall getting BOG.
