VFL Game Day VFL Round 12: Port Melbourne vs Essendon, North Port Oval, Sunday 23/06/19, 2:10 PM (Ch7 game)

[Zach Package]

Zerk doing run throughs.

Reckon Bruno nailed it, knee right in the arse

 

[rumply]

good signs for BZT doing run throughs

 

[eth-dog]

We have had more frees that haven’t resulted in scoring opportunities unlike them

Nino,Younan just then

Lange should play AFL next year

 

[eDPS]

That’s Hams goal, great effort

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Why can't the seniors defend so well like the VFL side?

Nino,Younan just then

Lange should play AFL next year

Nino is a tricky bugger, likes a free kick

Lange’s kicking in general play would be his main issue

 

[Old Campaigner]

turning into a bit of a dicking, not what I was expecting given Port are supposed to be pretty good.

 

[THOMO_31]

We have most weeks, had best defense in league since round 4 before Thursday night. It's our forward line which is in allsorts, mids to forward connection

I agree, but he's close to the top of my VFL list of draftees.

 

[Doss]

That third term was seriously slick stuff.

Reckon that Bowman is literally an AFL standard follower as I type this who is simply a few pre-seasons from having the strength and fitness required to play. Every time I've seen him now he has been more impressive. He does all of the little things (e.g. he throws around what weight he does have) in addition to moving very well for his size, being able to take a mark and kick the ball.

It would be ideal to get a ruckman into the VFL side to give Bowman a crack froward because it's not his footy that sees him off an AFL list. He's about McKernan's size, he's basically the same player Smack is (though he appears to have his head wrapped around the game at a much younger age), meaning that the real test is not whether he can be a follower, he's going to be need to be able to play as a forward (who would be an adequate relief ruck).

Said it before, but he is the same age as Gown and I think he's a much better prospect as a player. We missed a huge opportunity not taking him mid-season.

Hopefully they can fix it during the off-season via assistant coaches or players

That third term was seriously slick stuff.

Not as slick as Scomo's dacks walking out of Engadine Maccas in 1997.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Get em all in

 

[carloss]

Mutch has looked good.

 

[eth-dog]

Percentage now boys.

He has always been more comfortable as a forward and agree I would have taken him ahead of Gown

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Training drill that goal

 

[Zach Package]

Gown has been excellent today. Seriously impressive stuff

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Gee that was bloody good

MANAGING EXPECTATIONS

 

[eDPS]

That’s 4 to Francis, Ham should be the obvious inclusion if Guelfi can’t get up I think he has been BOG

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Hams running and drawing of the tackler to release is AFL quality. A couple more preseasons and he’ll be a great winger.

 

[eDPS]

Hocking thinking he is 23 again

 

[Tippa43]

The classic mistake a handball a kick routine
