VFL Game Day Round 10: Loss to Box Hille*

[eth-dog]

Whoever assembled this VFL list should be genuinely embarrassed.

Small, slow outside players who can’t kick

TBF, we're missing most of our top VFL players. No Younan, Harrold, Dunkley, McLarty, Tynan and Baker (who has apparently left).

Any of our AFL emergencies out there?

It's 50/50

I was fully expecting most of our latest draft pick to nuture thier way through the seconds this year. Think of Perko, Reid, Cox all at seconds level.

Injuries and chances, so off they go into the ones. You then ar ebehind the eight ball trying to fill gaps with suburban players just not up to standard. Like country cricket - for the 3 champs you have in your team, you're also compensating for the battlers in the same side.

This is pretty much our seconds right now.

Maybe I’m being harsh, but the contingent of VFL players are absolute dross and the same kind of dross, none look either draftable or developable or up to VFL standard, none looks like immediate impact players and none of it compliments what is on the AFL list.

Durham and Phillips.

Scoreless quarter. That was embarrassing

Baker had it 30 times for GWS yesterday, definitely gone

Okay cool, so Cutler and Ambrose travelled with the 22.

How's Phillips going?

Ah, fair enough. Still, we're missing plenty.

Durham really the only one doing anything so far of our AFL listers. McBride has nice hands, Reid looks like he can read the play well (pun not inteded) but he's turned it over a bit. O'Kearney is probably leading the BnF right now

He's been okay. Nobody apart from Durham has really been "good".

It’s disappointing to see Bryan being used as the 2nd ruck. He should be given every opportunity to develop.

He should be developed in both positions IMO. He's still spending a decent amount of time in the ruck.

 

[andleanback]

If you take out Phillips and Gleeson. There’s 2 games of afl experience between our other 8 listed players.

just switched on...ouch...

Me too, saw the kickout straight to opposition.

Seen enough

 

[eth-dog]

Phillips has lifted

 

[eth-dog]

McBride with 3.

Callow looks like a flog, happy we don't have him

 

[Donakebab]

Ooof McBride you had so much more time.

 

[eth-dog]

Gleeson, Phillips and O'Kearney have really lifted this quarter. Just haven't put it on the scorebard.

 

[84859300]

Tommy H has had a bit of the ball for a defensive F50 player

 

[rumply]

is that Smithson with the goal, nice kick

Can hoof it.

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Our match fitness is shocking for a team with supposedly 10 AFL listed players on the field at the moment.

 

[The Donners]

Nice fight back. Perhaps the gap is too far but they’ve not given up!

 

[eth-dog]

Big thing that quarter is that we didn't really let them out the back and we were more composed coming out of defence. Phillips also huge with 3 or 4 contested marks was important.

 

[rumply]

Can hoof it.

Cat A rookie I see, dunno much about him, usually plays forward?

Look at the names rather than the number.

Gleeson
Phillips
Durham
Reid
Brand
Hird
McBride
Bryan
Johnson
Eyre


Only two senior players on that list. We know that most of these blokes are still going to be working on match fitness, the fact they haven't played in about a month hasn't helped.
