Training VFL Practice Matches

[eth-dog]

So obviously we won the Praccy against Footscray, which is a good sign as they'll probably be strong again this year, but I have no idea about who we put on the park, and the same for them. Anyway, our remaining PM's are as follows:

Collingwood vs Essendon, Saturday 5th March at 2 PM, Olympic Park. If you're so inclined, plenty of time to watch that, have an early dinner then go watch our AFL lads at Docklands in the evening. I will be otherwise occupied that day/night unfortunately.

Essendon vs Coburg, Friday 11th March at 7 PM, The Hangar. I'm considering going to this, but it's unlikely at this stage.

Essendon vs Geelong, Saturday 19th March at 11 AM, The Hangar. We play them a week later so wouldn't be expecting us to go all out.

Coburg will be a good test for me, their list is looking very strong for next season IMO. Hard to say about Pies or Cats though.

Is there any summary anywhere of the VFL match against Dogs? Would be nice to know who kicked goals and played well, especially of the listed players.

Forecast is for rain on Saturday so I may give that one a miss given the lack of cover available.

Would be interesting to see how our wet weather footy holds up in the VFL. Players like Atley, Voss etc should thrive in it

Anyway, a theoretical side for Saturday (using my AFL praccy side as a guide):

FB: Joel Fitzgerald - Cody Brand - Dylan Landt
HB: Alastair Lord - Brandon Zerk-Thatcher - Garrett McDonagh
MF: Sam Conforti - Patrick Voss* - Brayden Ham
HF: Nick Martin - Josh Eyre - Tom Hird
FF: Tex Wanganeen - Cian McBride - Cameron McLeod
OB: Nick Bryan - Alec Waterman - Joe Atley
IC: Kyle Weightman - Cooper Anderson - Ronald Fejo jr - Ben Jolley - Sam Paea - Nick O'Kearney

VFL listed players
*Not sure if he's fit to play, but yeah.

A bunch of players from Coburg will be out next week due to a wedding, so I don't think it'll be a strong Coburg side we face.

I don't have one but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist

Did I miss the lights at the hangar? How is this going to take place at 7pm?

It was reported somewhere that Alex Hird was better than Tom but here we are.

Are you referring to me posting what Tom said to me?

Could be. I just remember quietly thinking, 'yes.'

Alex is tiny isn’t he? Like low 170s

 

[ghostdog]

I know not numbers, but he is short.

If the injury update is accurate (it won't be) we have most of our players available. Possibly something like:

Just put a bunch of VFL players on the bench. Reality though, most of those won't play and they'll give try outs to potential starting 23rd players like McLeod and Anderson
