Game Day VFL Preliminary Final: Williamstown vs Essendon, North Port Oval, Sunday 15/09/19, 2:10 PM

[Buttsoup_Barnes]

Can we swap our Myers for theirs? Seems like a footballer that one.

 

[Runk]

He is a 3rd year power forward. He could at least crash packs or get himself into a position to do that. He isn't even getting his positioning right.

Looks utterly lost

 

[Yoda_]

How do we miss the loose targets forward so often.

We don't have any, that's probably why

 

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

Jake Long is good compared to the average footballer, but he just doesn't have what it tskes to play in the big leagues. Happy to be proven wrong

We have had one midfielder get the ball over 10 times in 3 quarters of football, forwards barely have a chance if we can’t get it to them. If we got the ball and lowered our eyes like most good teams do the maybe Begley could get more of it.

Think our forwards today are the last that should get blamed

 

[Runk]

Houlihans kick to Hams...

Gee whiz I hope we work on skills over the summer.

 

[Yoda_]

This umpires are clueless. Pay the touchy ones and let the obvious oes go. So over the garbage.

stop defending him. It's the consensus that he's been crap

 

[Yoda_]

And now the breeze is no longer

 

[Dero]

Might be time to go out and grab a beer Yoda_

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Why are no of the forwards set up on the we are playing down?

Is Power forward the same as key position?

Your statement is a contradiction and either proves itself wrong or is impossible to disprove.

Probably.. I'll watch t to the end though. No fairweather supporter here.

Not necessarily

 

[Dero]

I wouldn't have held it against you.

 

[Yoda_]

Oh yay, Josh Begley laid a tackle

 

[Runk]

It would’ve been nice if Myers went out with a flag of some sort.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Bzt looks like he's been Essended

A few of them have mate. Sad to see Ridley, Mynott go that way too

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Even though they’ve changed that ruck htb rule, surely prior still exists at a certain point?

Yep, the one where Meese held off Bowman took it out of the ruck then tried to fend off an Essendon player should have been holding the ball but wasn't.

Some decisions today by the umpires today have been perplexing

That's what she said. No she didn't.

On a serious note, was trying to say that amongst the average bloke who's played footy, he'd probably be considered a good player. But at AFL level, hes underwhelming.

Note: as I typed this, he was busting out some nice run and gun out of d50.

 

[andleanback]

And this isn’t why Riley bowman won’t be drafted in the 2nd round, way too undersized

 

[Runk]

Mitch Hibberd shows a bit
