Good to get a win over Sandy. They've recruited well, expect to see them challenge for top 8 this year.

Son of.

Has played some VFL last year at Port Melbourne I think. No idea what kind of player he is or his quality. He’s certainly not a KPP as he’s only 179cm

I transferred the OP to you, update the thread title etc as you wish
 
That’s quite the AFL listed back 6. Baldwin, Hayes, Montgomery, Hind, Lord. Especially with Reid/Cox out and likely to fill one of those spots.

Encouraging to see Voss get a few. Looks a chance to be pretty good

Probably play as close to a side as possible from here. Probably our strongest VFL list since we made the prelim

Think afl players have this weekend off, so a lot of the vfl list will get a run.

Might do – last year only two players did some match sim and it was because they were coming off injury.

In 2021 every player who wasn't injured and wasn't slated to play in Round 1 played in the VFL practice team the week before.

Yeh pretty sure the only players that play are the ones who want/ need the run because they’re underdone and want a chance to play round 1 - see guelfi and langers.
